JEWS OFFER HELP
IN A GREAT WORK

Interest in the great work of the
Jews-establishing a haven of refuge
in Palestine for the oppressed of the
race Of all commissioned accelerated
at the on Second avenue
last night. when Max Shulnan of Chi
cago, grand master of the knights Of
Zion. told Of the progress that is be-
ing made and urged the assistance of
the Grand Forks Jewish community.
An order of the knights of Zion ex-
listed in Grand Forks. but it had not
been as active as desired. 1t was for
Mr.. Shulman to infuse new life into
the body with his eloquent appeal for
assistance and his earnest request that
the Jews take up the work Of the
society as they have eve done be-
fore. Mr.. Shulman, a lawyer, Is a
convincing speaker and the fact that
many Of those present at the meeting
last night came forward and proffered
their help in the movement is evil
dence that his visit to Grand Forks
was timely. Mr.. Shulman will return
to Grand Forks on Sunday. when
every Jew in the city hopes that they
will again have the opportunity of
hearing n of his inspiring talks
which cannot fail to make the work
Of the Jews more clearly understood
Last nights meeting was attended
by practically every Jew in the city
and their enthusiasm was marked.

HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
IN

Hugh Mc1lraith, city salesman
for the Park. Grant and Morris
Co., had a decidedly narrow es-
cape yesterday afternoon when
his automobile missed being hit
by the Great Northern switch en-
gine by a very few feet.
McIlraith was coming down
University avenue toward town
and was about to o the tracks
on that avenue. Part of the
ing there is in good shape and
part bad so he cut over to the
left to cross on the smooth part.
Just at that instant the switch
engine and three cars darted
across the street, coming directly
toward the machine. McIlraith
clarnped his foot on the brake.
threw out the clutch and kept the
a curving to the left, landing
in the ditch with his machine be-
fore he came to a full stop. The
engineer in the meanwhile
stopped the goat" and came
back to where McIlraith. was try
ing to back onto the road, con-
graduating the local salesman
for his presence Of mind.
McIlraith insists that the en-
SiNe was HUI q Ociis HOT
was there any intimation to any
passerby that a train was about
to cross the track at that place.
The train crew on the other hand
insisted that the bell was ringing
and there was quite a wordy al
tercation over the right and
wrong Of the matter.
However the situation was yes
terday. 1t Is a known fact that tho
University avenue crossing Is q
decidedly dangerous place. There
are buildings. rows of trees and a
curve there, all combining to
make a dangerous spot. and train
crews and automobilists. ~ well
10 pedestrians should make a spe-
cial effort to stop. look and listen
when they approach the locality
OF yesterdAy's near accident.

The democratic meeting, held in an
other part of the court house was
harmonious SO far as the preliminary
work is concerned. The work of or
ganizing was carried through without
a hitch and the members OF the party
at the meeting all expressed the SEN
timent hat they had a better chance
of success in the county this fall than
ever before, due to the dissatisfaction
with the national republican admins
tration and to the fact that a large

probably no division will attract as
wide interest as the live stock show in

North Dakota, according to letters re-

come news that many thoroughbred
cattle fanciers from other states will

never in the history. Of North Dakota
fairs has there been a live stock show
that will compare in size or import
ance to the one which will this year
be seen in Grand Forks.
Adam Seitz Of Waukesha, Wis, will
be m of the biggest exhibitors. He
will exhibit for the first time in this
part Of the country his herd of SPLEEN
did Ayrshire cattle. These cattle are
especially adapted to a country such
as North Dakota. They are a Scotch
dairy breed and have been of much
interest to the farmers wherever they
have been shown.
p. A. Zollman Of Alexandria, S. D.,
will also have a fine lot of cattle here
this yea The famous Hill herd of
"Red Poles will also be in the show.
representing the big Hill farm in
