CHILDREN OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Unable to Attend School, Says Asso.
ciated Charities Nurse in Asking
for More Information.

There are children in Grand Forks
who cannot attend school because they
haven't underwear and clothing to
keep them warm. according to Miss
Louise Packebusch, visiting nurse Of
the Associated Charities.
I'VE want all the clothing and un-
derwear we can get" said Miss Packe-
busch this morning. And we want
children:s garments in particular.
While the city's poor have been cared
for better this year than ever before.
there are some families that are still
in need of assistance, especially in the
clothing line. If persons who have
these things will let me know. it will
help out in the work materially.
Most Of the children who need
warmer things to e are little tots,
but a few are old enough to go to
school. They want to go to school.
but they cannot on these severely cold
days because their clothing Is not
heavy enough to keep them from

when they need assistance most If per-
sons who are comfortably situated will

MUST FIND A PLACE
FOR JUDGES ON
BALLOT
Auditors Will Give Them a
Position Below All Others
NO Laws Repealed

County auditors will be compelled
to place the names of aspirants for the
position Of probate judge on the bal
lots at the June primary election de-
spite the fact that no provision is
made in the new ballot law for that
Office. The previous laws which cre-
ate the Office Of probate Judge and
provide for the election Of a new in
cumbent each two years, was not re-
pealed by the ballot measure, which
establishes the first and second choice
plan. and for that reason the county.
auditors will be compelled to make a
place for the Judges on the ballot.
That is the view of the. situation
ftaken.D BY County Auditor Han8 .Andef-
son Of Grand Forks county, who will
be called upon to provide ways and
means for giving the probate candi-
dates Of this county a place to put
their names.
In the ballot law only the rotation
In which the offices shall be placed on
the blank is fixed, and that probably
will necessitate auditors placing the
probate Judge below all other Offices.
1t has recently been commended that
there was a possibility Of no probate
Judges being elected this year because
of the legislatures oversight. but the
county auditors who have looked into
the proposition hold otherwise.

The child was not affected by the

Mrs. Critics was nearly overcome
with excitement and il said to be in
a nervous condition this afternoon.
Mr.. Critics. proprietor Of the liquor
cure. says that he believes the fire
must have been started by his little
daughter, who he thinks picked up a
match after her mother went down
stairs and started to play with It..
There Is a stove in the room but 1t

Mr.. Critics can think Of no other
cause for the blaze.
The alarm was given to the cen
trail station by some Of the patients
at the liquor cure. The department
had little difficulty in extinguishing
the flames. although the fire was
burning briskly when the men arriv-
ed.
The damage will not be over $500,
according to MI. Critics.
The furnishings destroyed were in
the family apartments Of the pro-

No Grounding i'm North Dakota
So What's the Use of Worrying

Then there would be ten long weeks
of winter instead of six.
But Over here in North Dakota
things are different. This state has
no ground hogs and therefore people
don't lose sleep about the weather.
Dakotans also know the difference be-
tween a skunk and a ground hog and
that helps a lot. especially when one
is out In the woods with nothing that
will carry farther than u bean shooter.
Now today has been bright enough
so that if the ground hog did come
out on the east side he certainly saw
his shadow and has gone back for
some weeks. If that is the case. Min
nesota will have Il prolonged winter.
A few blocks across the river. in
North Dakota, there was ground hog
today and Dakotans have not been
following a skunk all about town to
see whether he saw his shadow OF not.
Now the question arises: II a Min
nesota ground hog crawled back into
his hole today and pulled the hole in
after him. what kind of weather will
they have in North Dakota in the next
six weeks. provided there was no
ground hog to venture forth in that
state?

Yes. it is quite true that there are

According to the best books on the
