! strenuous EFFORT to make up for the
deficiency.
In a recent discussion OF the sub
ject The Minneapolis Journal said
editorially, in part:
Compilations recently made from the
census bulletins OF foreign born popu-
lation in the various states show that
the stream of Scandinavian immigra-
ton into the northwest has so far
decreased in volume that 1t does not
much more than replace the diminu-
ton due to deaths of earlier corners
from the Scandinavian countries.
The number OF those born In Scan
dinayia residing in Minnesota has In
creased in the last decade but a little
oYe 1000, while South Dakota shows
a gain of 8.700. North Dakota shows
the largest gain-more than 10000. In
the same period Michigan, Iowa, Me-
braska and Wisconsin show an actual
loss in the number OF their Scandi-
navian-born people. Illinois shows
gain of over 20, 900. The rapidly set
thing state Of Washington has also
been a favorite with those Of Scandi-
navian birth-whether coming from
other states or from the "old country
the number having Increased 1900.
Here are the detailed figures for the
northwest:

GERM LADEN BUST
CAUSES CATARRH
ELYs CREAM BALM KILLS THE
DEADLY cATARRH GERMS.
NO STOMACH DOSING.

Catarrh, which is bad enough In it,
self, often results in loss OF taste, smell
and hearing, and leads To serious
throat and lung troubles if not
promptly checked. The seat of ca
tarrh is usually In the back Of the
nose, and its natural course is down
ward, into the throat and thence to
he lungs.
Don't take any chances. IL you have
any symptoms of catarrh-stuffed up
feeling ! n the head, nasty discharge
from the nose, sore throat, or dry,
hacking cough, get a fifty cent bottle
of Elyis Cream Balm from your drug
gist, and begin the treatment at once.
This remedy is not a burning OUT
or drying up process. 1t is simply
a cleansing, healing, antiseptic Balm,
taken though the nostrils back into the
head and throat where it instantly
reaches the seat of the trouble. That's
the only way to effectually and per-
manently cure catarrh.
Catarrh makes you offensive to
yourself and friends. Start using
Ely's Cream Balm today, and in a
short time you will be permanently
cured of this nasty, disgusting disease.

THE FILTRATION PLANT.

Turning water from the filtration
plant into the city mains marks a new
era for Fargo. 1t will probably be six
or v weeks before the water that
reaches the faucets viii be fit to drink.
but In a week or more it will be clear
and improve daily.
For years Fargo's weakest point
has been its execrable water supply.
Hundreds of prospective investors and
hcmeseekers have been driven away
By a glance at the putrid coffee-colored
ooze that ran through the water pipes
for several months each year.
Within a short time the water will
be pure and paIatable and as clear
an In spring water. 1t win not only
be attractive to the eye, but heaIthful
70 drink. Residents Of Fargo win no
longer have to secure a bottle of spring
water to rinse of with after a mud
bath.
The possible improvement for Fargo
could mean more than the completion
OF the filtration system.

JUNE 10, 1919.
ssx FLAG DAY

Tomorrow is Flag day. It's OBJ
servance should be general. Every
patriotic citizen should fly the stars
and stripes. There is moro or less
confusion regarding the American
nag, but historians generally concede
the honor OF it's original design be-
longs to washington.
Betsey Ross, 8 seamstress Of Phila-
deIphia, to whom Washington first
went with his plans and designs, sug-
gesteG that the stars be changed from
six to five points. This led to the
traditional story that she had designed
the original flag. Later this was dis
proven N the true facts shown.
There have been numerous changes
to the flag since its official
adoption June IA. 1777, through the
addition of stars. No change was
made. however, until 1918. Since then
on the Fourth of July following the
admission of states additional stars
hsve-been added.
There are a number of patriotic
organizations that help to celebrate
Flag day Among them, and probably
the most prominent, is the Benevolent
and Protective Order Of Elks. In Phil
adelphia in 1907 the national organi-
cation took official action on the OBJ
servance Of the day, A ritual observ-
ence was adopted the following year,
and every Elk in the country is sup
posed to observe the day. The B. p.
D. E. is a patriotic organization in
which the stars and stripes have an
important part.
Fargo Elks will hold a special
meeting Friday night at which Flag
day will be appropriately observed.

UNITED

The United Norwegian Luther
nj concluded their national meet
ing in Fargo last night. It has been one
OF the most important conventions
ever held in this city, and it is the
second time the members have held
a meeting outside Minneapolis. The
gathering has drawn prominent
churchmen and laymen here from all
over the United States. The session
a been doubly important because of
the remarkable progress made in the
proposed union of all branches of the
Norwegian Lutheran church. The
presence of the bishop from Norway
was also an unusual feature.
Fargo people have endeavored to
make the visitors welcome. Local
people are certainly glad to have had
them here.
From q business standpoint the CON
vention has also been important be-
cause the class Of people attending are
all well to do and have ample funds,
which they + not afraid to spend.
The success with which Fargo has
met IN caring for this great organiza-
tion has inspired the people of this
city with an ambition to entertain
more national conventions. 1t has
also impressed on Fargoans the imper-
alive necessity of having a permanent
auditorium Of suficient capacity to
accommodate all meetings of this ma
ture.

The increase in Minnesota was
largely Swedish, while that in North
Dakota was mostly Norwegian. 1t
will be noted that two-thirds OF the
total increase for the three states has
gone to North Dakota, where settle
ment has naturally proceeded more
rapidly than in the more thickly set
tied states.
There are now in the United
States 1,250,000 persons Of Scan
dinavian birth. This does not in
clude, of course, those whose parents
were born in Scandinavia. The three
Scandinavian countries have a total
population of H. 0 900 or 12, 000, 900,
so that they have contributed to this
country about a tenth of their people.
