Zero Weather and North
Wind Conspire, to Make
People Uncomfortable.

Midwinter is with us, and Grand
Forks is shivering again. This morn
ing the mercury descended toa point
about 90 degrees below zero'which OF
course, is nothing to the thoroughly
acclimated Grand Forksian: but even
he thought it felt rather colder than
twenty below, and the explanation.
that very forcibly presented itself was
that a stiff north wind attained a
velocity which was. to say the least,
not very comforting.
the busiest day, the main thorough
fares of the city were practically de-
serted, people preferring to remain
indoors whenever possible. To en-
brace the stove and to hug the 'radiat-
or. was. a favorite pastime in nanyaof
the .city's homes today.
The railroads reported several %trafv
fic disturbances, but telegraph and
telephone lines appeared Ito be unaf-
fected by the cold and the storm.
Huge snow drifts had gathered
during the night along the streets of
the city, and it was found very diff
cult for the average citizen to ma
neuver safely through the. streets. AS
a rule, the center of streets was pre-
ferred to the sidewalks which were
entirely covered by drifts of high
piled snow.
Several instances Of frost bitten
cheeks and ears were reported, but in
most ases the sufferers. hastened to
parts. @~@@'<i4!A s>fH7 1.!I'@ ustAt5i
To say that it will all be over very
soon. would be to voice a premature
optimistic desire. There is no hope of
the cold abating materially for sew
eral days to come.

At the bank it was said this after

The IDEAL draft board today matted,
missionaries to registrants in this
county whose order numbers run
from 1851 to 1.4O0. At the ate
which is being followed nov, and
which was established from the very
beginning, the board expects to be
through sending q~uestionpaires out
about January 10. q
The completion of'this phase of the
task is not all that has to be done:
The classification of registrants will
follow. in fact, has already beer
started, and it Is not possible at this
time to estimate accurately how soon
that part of the vast, work can be
finished.
The legal advisory board, extending
aid to registrants who do not feel
competent to fl! out their question:
naires, is represented in the farmers
room in tho county court house ev-'
cry day by four OF five local attor-'
neys. 1t appears that they hav., been.
doing excellent work and that they
have overcome most Of the prelimin-
airy difficulties. At the outset MANY
new n intricate questions present.
cd themselves. but as the work pro-
crossed, j. was. found that some Of
these difficulties were repeated time
and again which made it easier for
the legal advisors to give the aid de-
sired.
This morning Thee. B.. Elton and
Tracy r. Bangs were in the farmers
room. and during the afternoon hours
r. w. Cooley. and j. E.. Wjnema,i
were ready to answer questions and
give. advice. Tomorrow morning. f..
j.. She'll and George A. Bangs will
be on duty. and in the afternoon
Sveihbjoern Johnson, w. L. Wilder
and Harry Schwam will relieve hem.
Medical Board Organized.
At a meeting of the medical. advis-
ory board. held in, the Commercial
club rooms, the organization was per-
fected to handle the examining end
of the draft under the new classical
ton.
DIR. G.. NJ. Williamson was elected
president Of the board, and DR.. AL
fred Dean,was named secretary. 9th
err members of the board are Dr. A..
Il. Bratrud, DR.. H. j. Freisen, Dr., w.
H. Witherstine, DR.. Woutat and DR..

Time Will Come, Resident
Suggests When They
Will be Valuable.

It, has been noticed that grea.
number of letters are. being writer
to Grand Forks city and county from
young men who are serving Uncle
Sam in training camps Of in France
and Belgium, and that some of these
letters have been published because
they give highly interesting views OF
military and naval life under the
Stars and Stripes.
For this reason a citizen who does
not wish to have his nam divulgel
at the present time, suggested today
that an effort be made Ito gather
these letters Systematically and pre-
serve them in onle special archive.

most of the soldiers letters contain
very little in the nature of intimate.
and personal remarks, and that nearly
all Of them consequently can be- read
