The state board Of health has as
yet taken no action on the resolution
covering the reporting Of venereal dis

The action taken by the local board
is attracting wide interest. The fact
that these diseases have taken an APP
palling hold on the health of the peo-
pie. is a factor that has precipitated a
great deal Of discussion. The "Medi-

such cases in this country as reaching
the amazing total of 10000 900 an

Turner's name was not brought for

will pay MI. Turner 5000 a month for
his services.
As stated in the Times yesterday
the matter is not closed as yet, due to
the fact that the selection must be
passed upon by the architects for the
court house. 1t is very likely, how
ever. that the architects will depend
upon the good judgment Of the county

A CITY'S GROWTH

Helps the Surrounding Country
A city occupies a very important sphere in iHr citation
to the adjoining farming community.
The larger and better a city grows the better are the
market facilities that it affords.
Growth of cities, also, always means increase in land
values throughout the sections served.
The city of Grand Forks cannot possibly grow and de-
velop without helping in the growth and development
of the surrounding country.
The success of Grand Forks is identical with your suc-
cess, Mi. Farmer.
