the leaders as gross exaggeration. 1t has

CHICAGO Gossip,

Chicago, Feb. 9.-Many traders in
wheat were inclined to look for a re-
action from this level before there
would be any renewal of heavy SELL
ing. 1t was the opinion of many of
the commission men that after such a
long period Of drastic liquidation Of
long lines there should be at least
a moderate recovery. At this level
1t was argued also that cash buyers
would be more inclined to enter the
market in case there was any firm
ness shown in futures. So far there
has been no response made by future
buyers. and sales on the decline in
wheat have not increased to any ma
terial extent Some millers, however,
are of the opinion there would be bet
ter buying soon if the market should
steady. With receipts running lighter
than a year ago, and the continued
dry weather in the southwest, the mar
ket was finally on debatable ground.
There is n big short interest in the
market and with long wheat we'll liqui-
dated some of the larger shorts were
willing to accept terms.-Inter- Ocean.

To Cleanse the Llanda-

When you go to the washstand and
carefully wash your hands with a gen.
erous application OF soap and hard
brush, do not think for an instant that
your hands are clean. The tenacious
microbe refuses to be disturbed and
clings to the flesh throughout the
whole operation. There are some
chemical compounds which will dis
lodge the busy baccilli to certain ex-
tent, but not entirely. According to
the investigations Of medical author
ity of the Prussian army, the best re-
suits in the direction of giving the
hands a sanitary cleaning are accom-
p1ished by the use Of alcohol A bath
of pure alcohol will remove about s9
per cent Of the germs Where it Is de-
sired to clean the hands llygienically
1t is recommended that the hands be
not first washed with water, for this will
so adulterate the alcohol that it will
not be enabled to accomplish its work
as effectively as otherwise.

INSPECTION OF
NORMAL SCHOOL
J. /. WAsH5uRN AND L. A. HUN
TooN, TWO DIRECTORS, VISIT
ED THE SCHOOLS THIS MORN
ING AND LOOKED OVER THE
BUILDINGS.

Preliminary to the biennial inspec-
ton Of the normal school Of Moorhead
tour of the schools buildings was
made today by j. L. Washburn of Du-
luth, who arrived in the city this
morning, and l.. A. Huntoon, the resi-
dent director. The gentlemen arrived
at the school little before ii o'clock
and they practically spent the day
there.
The legislative visitors will be in
Mo5rhead on Saturday One of them
will be Senator Marden of this dis
trict. They will be entertained at the
school and doubtless they win be met
by members of the commercial club.
The work of Messrs. Washburn and
Huntoon today was the examination of
the buildings and looking into the
needs of the schools either in the way
of new buildings or improvements and
required extensions to meet the grow
ing demands of the school Their con-
illusions will be shown to the coming
legislative committee and the latter
will report to the committee on ap-
preparations, and in that way intelli
gent action can be obtained.
From Moorhead Mr. Washburn will
so to st. Cloud, where he will spend to-
morrow, and he will be accompanied
by Director HuntoOn.

The Hotel MOORHEAD
Important Meeting of the Commercial
Club Committee Has Been Called
for Tomorrow Night.

The hotel committee of the CONNER
cial club has been called to meet to-
morrow evening, at the Office of S. G.
Comstock when the sub committee on
site, will make a report. A meeting
of the latter committee was held yes
terday and it may be stated that the
matters looking to the erection of a
first class hotel in Moorhead are most
encouraging and now the parties in
terested are fairly close together and
there is no doubt at all about the
ability of Moorhead to do its share
in the promotion of the enterprise.
One thing which is being insisted up
on by the men who are directly rep
resenting the people of Moorhead and
it is that whatever structure is erect
ed for the hotel it must be a fire proof
one.
When Moorhead can advertise that
it possesses the only fire proof hotel
in the Red river valley 1t viii mean
that this city will become the head
quarters and weekend stopping place
for a great many business men," one
prominent business man remarked to-
day. THE outlook for the Hotel Moor
head, the name suggested for the new
house, is most encouraging and / be-
lieve that the work of clearing the
old Columbia site will be under way
within the next few weeks

CAFETERIA DIRECTOR
Office of House Secretary and Cafe
terra Director Will be
Combined.

Those interested in the Y. w. C. A.
will be glad to know that on March
Mrs. Ida Mccarthy of Wyoming, O..
will take full charge of the cafeteria
as its director.
The board of directors have been
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of having
such a secretary for some time and
it was announced to all the secre-
taries before Christmas that some one
might be called for such service in the
near future and that, for financial
reasons, this Office might be combined
with that of house secretary.
At the January board meeting IL
was decided to combine the offices of
cafeteria director and house secretary

place could be found
Mrs. Mccarthy is highly recon-
mended for both positions and as i
christian woman of unusually strong
and noble character and winsome per-
sonality. She has served in both ca
pacities with great success.
AT special meeting of the board
held Jan. 80, 1t was decided to cal,
Mrs Mccarthy. This does not in
crease the number on the secretariaI
staff but makes a new office which
when the association has grown older
and larger, may require the fourth

Grain Opinions.

Finley Darrell & CO.-Reactions in
wheat such as we experienced during
the later portions Of the sessions yes
terday are natural and to be anticipat-
ed, but think they will continue to
improve if weather changes until we
reach a level which will permit OF our
finding an outlet for both the raw and
the finished product.
Shearson Hammil 81 CO.-Investment
buying in any quantity was not no
ticeable and the cash wheat situation
seems still without improvement. The
market must be pretty we'll liquidated
of weak holdings, however, and stead
mess and some further rally would
not be unnatural.
Walter Fitch & Co.-Liquidation in
wheat has been pretty thorough and
the market has a good reaction and is
in a position to respond to anything
in the way of improved demand or
crop damage. Without the latter
however, we expect to see the selling
renewed, on any substantial advance

PRESIDENT OF AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE ON HIS WAY TO BIS
MAHck, WHERE HE is TO DE.
LIVER AN ADDRESS TOMORROW
AFTERNOON.

IF the state allowed us every cent
that we are asking for in the way of
an appropriation for the agricultural
college, the suo-station and experiment
stations, etc, we would only have to
increase our yield of wheat five pounds
to the acre to pay for the same" said
President Worst of the A. C. this aft
ernoon just before taking his depart
ire to Bismarck where tomorrow aft
ernoon he is to deliver an address be-
fore the state legislature.
Mr.. Worst stated that he had not
asked for single cent from the legis-
.ature that was not needed.
II believe that the increase in the
appropriation sought will be the means
Of causing a larger yield of wheat than
ever before, and we are not counting
any OF the other products of the state
except wheat" he said. IF we should
be so fortunate as to increase the
yield just one bushel to the acre it
would mean just s6,500,0OO more for
the state. It seems to me that money
expended by the state in this way is
money well expended and would in
the end bring forth the very best of
results"
Other heads of educational institu-
tions in the state are headed Bismarck
way and several of them will pass

morrow.

J. V. Godfrey of Moorhead, Mimi, a
prominent contractor and cement ran,
died Jan. 20, at his home, after a
brief illness of something less than g
week Pleuro-pneumonia was the
cause of death, and the suddenness
with which he was stricken adds to the
already great sorrow of his relatives
and many friends. Mr.. Godfrey was
well known in the northwest, a promi-
nent Mason, and among other associa-
ton officers held by him. he was vice
president of the Northwestern Cement
Products association. He was well
known to attendants at the conven-
tions, and had an important paper at
the last convention held in Chicago
about year ago. ~
