Grand Forks county and sity Off
Gals are on the lookout for Leo Ed
krouse, charged with forgery, but he
seems to have shaken the dust of
these parts successfully and probably
is in Canada SIS richer as a result of
his misdeed.
Krouse formerly was in the employ
of the Cottonwood meat market and
had been paid by check. He evidently
took a blank check from the COM
pany's book which had the name Cohn
and Erving printed n then the per
below that. Cohn made out his check
to George Lee. who frequently sold
meat to the shop and then the name
of Lee was endorsed on the back and
his w name under. The check was
signed with l.. Ervine's name.
The Scandinavian American bank of
this city cashed the paper and as a
result will be SIS out unless Krouse
is apprehended and makes good. The
officers have information that he pur-
chased a ticket at the Northern Pa

NORWEGIAN FOLK DANCE
FEATURE Of COMING FAIR

Folk dances of the Norwegians. by
Norwegians themselves and in nation
al costume, will be featured at the
Grand Forks fair. July 80 to August
,, if there are any men or women of
that nationality in the northwest who
are able to dance. and possess the
costumes.
1t will ne as unique a part of the
big fair as any that will be staged
in the event that the Fair officials are
successful in their quest for the talent.
In he northwest there are large
numbers of people who have come di-
rectly from the old country, and it
does not seem reasonable to uppos
that out Of all of these, that there are
not some who can qualify for the
dances. thus making a little extra
money for themselves as we'll as pro-
viding a fair feature that would prove
Il big drawing card.
Interest in folk dances is always
great. and because of the fact that
the northwest is the home of so many
Sc~andinavians, those of the Norweg-
ians would be particularly appropri-
ate, and would be the means of at
tracing many to the city.
The fair officials are nXiou to get
into communication with anvone who
can qualify for the folk dances. and
a deal will be made for the same.
Special arrangements will be made. in
the way OF music, to take care of the
dancers, and splendid stage facilities
will be provided.
They also will be interested in folk
dances of other nationalities. and
would gladly close a deal with any
body who Fan fill the bill.

 Weak Men---Free

 And Vigorous.

l have in my possession a prescrip- ton for nervous debility, lack of viz or, weakened manhood, failing mem ory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes-without any addi- tional help or medicine-that I think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility quickly and suietly should have a copy. So I have determined to send copy of the ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it.
 This prescription comes from phy sician who has made special study of men and I am convinced that it is the surest acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together.
 think I owe it to my fellow man to send them copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated fail ures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what | believe is the quickest acting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCH- ING remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quiet and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: Dr. A. E. Robinson, 4326 Luck building, Detroit, Mich., and I will send you a copy of this splendid recipe in plain, ordinary envelope, free of charge. A great many doctors would charge s to s5 for merely writing out a prescription like this-but I send it entirely free.
