To look for wonderful letter from q " onderful person whom we've probab- ly never met, and whose name we don't even know-whom we are not sure ever existed, to look for letter that a person like that might write-and to find instead on ones breakfast tray a Suvenir Postal Card from Cousin Mary saying that the weather is perfect down in Florida and that Cousin John has planted all the winter vegetables ia the garden-it's better that Cousin Mary isn't with us to see our look of disappointment as we glance at the clock and figure out that the Postman will return at o'clock that afternoon and probably bring our important mail then!
 We hear much of the claim of the spok en word-but even sweeter than that is the allurement of the same sen timent in black and white-the writ ten message TO us, FOR us, sealed out of sight of the cold, gray world, and sent speeding to find us wherever we may be,
 There is an interminable charm about letters-any letters!

 If it would help the average young woman of today I would let her see some specimens of Miss Prunella's and Miss Sabinas correspondence always done on the most exquisitey tinted paper, sweet scented and as dainty as themselves and sealed with wax as carefully as if they were to cross the ocean, instead of going to some part of the good old United States.
 Are you smiling at my two old ladies?
 Perhaps it is old-fashioned to do anything so simple and obvious yet life is made up of small acts of grace that gradually melt into one perfect whole-the well-bred lady of the old school and by nothing is lady judged more keenly than by her-correspond- enee,
 It was because yesteryear 1t was the custom to write oftener and longer let ters than we take the time to do now, that somebody acquired the habit of looking for the Postman.

PULM0T0R IS
DEMONSTRATE
Physicians, Firemen and Pa
trolmen Take Keen In
terest in Device.

Before an audience. composed OF
physicians, police officers. tiremen and
others interested, a demonstration Of
the Red River Power company's pull
motor was given last night. Much in
terest was displayed in the workings
Of the life saving device. and the
demonstration proved a big success.
The pulmotor has been provided for
the local branch OF the H. NJ. Byllespy
company, and Is for the free use of
the public in case Of emergency. 1t
is used particularly in cases Of
asphyxiation. drowning or poisoning.
The machine operates in such manner
as to re-establish the breathing pro-
cess, forcing pure oxygen into the
lungs.
Manager Brown explained that
twelve employees Of the company have
formed themselves into teams to use
the pulmotor, and that the outfit will
be available at any time Of the night
or day.
The demonstration last night clear
ly showed the workings of the device.
A patient is laid on his back. with a
folded garment under his shoulders.
so as to throw the head back. To en-
able the air to gain free access to the
lungs, the tongue is gripped with
forceps, and drawn forward and held
in that position. The mask is then
buckled down in such manner as to
hold the tongue against the chin. while
the operator presses against the wind
pipe to close the oesophagus. thus
preventing the air from going into the
stomach. With this preparation. the
machine is ready for operation.

new HIGH SCHOOL
BUILDING PLANNED
Board of Education Takes
Preliminary Steps at
Regular Meeting.

Preliminary plans for the construc-
ton Of q new high school building in
Grand Forks were gotten under way
last night, when the board of educa-
ton named a committee to make a
thorough investigation of the PROPOSE
ton. The plan is to erect a new
building in three or four years, If the
demand becomes imperative, as now
seems likely.
The building and grounds commit
tee, together with j. F. Bacon, were
commissioned to handle the matter.
With its present enrolment of over
4o0, superintendent j. Nelson Kelly
reported last night that the best in.
terests of the schools made better and
more extensive facilities absolutely
necessary. He said that steps taken
at this time would put the board in a
position to handle the building aues-
tlon. when IT became necessary to put
up the new structure.
The question of whether Miss Irene

GRADE Of GRAIN
LOWERED BY RAIN
Some of Product Brought to
City very Tough-Con-
dition is General.

A large amount of grain which has
been threshed this week and brought
to Grand Forks is tough and of low
grade. according to P. J. Kavanaugh,
manager of the Diamond mill. who
says that the wet weather has worked
havoc with the wheat. a great amount
of which will not grade we'll.
T%hreshing has been generally re-
sumed in the county. but the grain
brought to the city indicates that the
farmers took up work just a little too
early. After the grain has dried more.
the grade will improve considerably,
it is predicted, although it will not be
as good as 1t would have been If the
Wet weather had not been experienced.
1t has also been shown that the grain
been damaged a great deal by
sprouting.
Reports from other sections of the
state indicate that the same conditions
prevail. Several carloads Of grain
were shipped here yesterday from. the
Crazy district, which graded so low
that 1t could not be used here for maxi
ing -four. 1t was shipped from here
to Minneapolis.
Despite the fact that the grain is not
in the best Of condition. the farmers
are taking no chances and have their
threshinC outfits in full swing.
