H. F. Hanson. depot agent at Nj

further action in the perjury case, al
though Connolly still claims that he

Hebrew Festiva
Comes at This Season.
Set Apart for Repentance

The ancient Hebrew festival Of
Yom Kippur lyon Hakkipurin) or
day Of atonement is being celebrated
by Grand Forks Jews today. The OBJ
servance of this holy day commenced
at s o'clock last night and will con-
tinue until tonight. 1t is the tenth

is n of the five great and solemn
observances which Almighty God
commanded Moses to enjoin upon the
children Of Israel.
The day. as its name indicates, is
especially set apart for prayer. fast
ing and repentance. to make atone
ment to divine Providence for their
sins. transgressions Of the divine law
and imperfections during the year
that has just come to a close.
On the day of atonement is called
to mind the prophecy Of Jonas to
the inhabitants Of the city Of Nineveh,
then conspicuous among the cities Of
the ancient world for it's w%ickedness
and its iniquities, threatening its de-
struction and that Of its Inhabitants,
If. within twenty days they did not
repent Of their crimes. Following the
advice Of the prophet. the city was
saved.
The congregation remains in the
temple all day Saturday and until the
moon shines brightly in the evening
sky. Then. and not until then, is Il
lawful to break fast. .

|REAL ESTATE IS BOOSTED
State Tax Commission Raise East
Grand Forks observation-disclosures
Based on Land Sales.

According to a letter received by
County Auditor Welte from ]. q. Arm
son. secretary Of the state tax COM
mission. the valuation Of real estate in
East Grand Forks has been raised Is
per cent by that body. while the valu-
alton Of farm lands has been raised 60
per cent. The valuations as they have
been turned in from Crookston and
the villages have not been changed.
The changes according to the letter.
are based on land sales in Polk coun-
ty. He also stated that a hearing
would be given to anyone who desired
to be heard. on Thursday. Sept. 26. at
the Office of the commission at the
state capitol in St. Paul. at. $3.50 in
morning. and that If no protest
was mad the county auditor should
proceed to increase the assessed val
uation az per instructions.
1t Is believed that protests will be
made and an agitation has been start
ed to have a meeting Of the farmers
with the object of appointing repre-
sentatibes to look after the matter at
the hearing before the commission.
Last year the valuation Of farm land
was. boosted 20 per cent, and this to
be followed by a raise Of so per cent
this year has aroused the farmers.
who. while willing to admit that the
value of farm. land in the county is
going up, do not believe that 1t is go
ing up at such leaps and bounds.

hut was present at all the official func-
tions.
Besides visiting British colleges the
president went to the leading univer-
stiles In Germany. Denmark and Nor
way. While at Christiana he deliver
ed W lectures before the faculty of
the Norwegian institution and the
people of the city. His subject for
these lectures we're THE Evolution of
America" and Recent Social Tenden-
cies in the United States" The Nor
wegian people were very cordial and
were much impressed with the presi-
dents discourses.
In speaking of his visit in Germany
President McVey said. I found an
amazing materialism o%vertaking and
pushing aside the early views Of Ger
man greatness. Germany in her in
dustrialism is more like the United
States: everywhere are factories. long
freight trains ply over her railroads
and her rivers carry a teeming COM
merce. Germany is prosperous and
with this prosperity has appeared a
new German type Of citizen that Is to
be seen everywhere as a fellow travel

ton for Free Delivery.

Under the recent act Of congress
providing for experimental free de-
livery in villages. Postmaster o. A.

p%ostofice department for the estab-
lishment Of a free mail delivery In

A|GRETTE SALES MAY
Be STOPPEE BY
UNCLE SAM
Government is After Hunters
Who Tear Feathers OF
the Breast of Herons.

Will the sale Of aigrettes be stopped
IN Grand Forks as 1t has been in
Colorado? Many Grand Forks women
are fearing the edict of DIR. T. Palmer,
assistant chief of the United States
biological survey. who has formally
notified the merchants Of Colorado
about he sale of feathers.
The atgrette seen on the hat Of any
woman wearing 1t. Is the cost Of an en-
tire family OF young birds. The fe-
male white heron, from which the
aigrette ts obtained Is In full plum
age n beauty only at nesting time.
For this reason hunters secure the
aigrette only by tearing it from the
breast Of the mother. thus leaving her
nestlings to starve.
Federal officers In Colorado will
nave the assistance Of the state game
and fish departments. and these peo-
pie are under orders to make the i'm
mediate arrest of any merchant SELL
ing the aigrette. The merchants claim
that they should have been notified Of
the p~remeditated action on the part of
DR.. Palmer. as their stock is a big loss
to them.
The Lacy law passed by congress
some time ago and a state law which
says the plumage OF certain birds shall
not be sold are the authorities under
which the officers will act. 1t Is said
that the next field Of the Audubon So
cities will embrace several more Of the
western states, North Dakota and
Montana included.

WORKERS PREPARE
FOR THE COLD MONTHS

Realizing full we'll that winter is
approaching and that the poor will
need some assistance whether the
season be open or unusually cold. the
Salvation Army and the Associated
Charities are blocking out the work
for the year and receiving any dona-
tons that will aid in the campaign
to care for those who need help.
In past winters these two organiza-
tons have done much good in Grand
Forks. Many a family has been as
sisted through the cold spell by them;
the sick have been cared for. the hum
cry fed n little children clothed so
that they could attend the public
schools.
Grand Forks is fortunate in not
having many poor families to care
for. and 1t is believed by the workers
OF the Associated Charities and the
Salvation Army hat winter will find
nearly all Of the poor in better shape
than ever this year. However. dona-
tons of clothing and other necessaries
can be used in charity work in the
city right now.
The Salvation Army is planning an
especially active campaign this win
