November.

When winds are clean and hills are
cold,
And there's no dust upon the sky,
Each tip and stem pricks straight
and thin,
No bird flies high;
Each rock and tree is sharp and
clear,
And far-off things seem standing
near;
No sound, no motion low or high,
Save the wide winds that flow from
out the long blue reaches of
the sky.
Winter it is, but still no snow;
Cold it is, but Oh! so bright.
All the world seems strong and
good,
The heart so light!
There is no scent of sappy things,
Yet the sun glints and the blood
sings.
Nothing to crawl, nothing to fly,
Save the strong winds that sweep
and wash the sharp blue sap.

Lille Touch Of Home.

The Government is looking after
the military side of the life of the
boys in khaki and is making it all
increditably short time one of the
largest and finest armies in the
world. 1t is for the people at home
to see that the morale of this army
is the highest of any in the world
Just a little touch of home is need
ed to keep our men courageous,
then victorious.
1t is for this purpose that the
state of North Dakota is asked to
raise at once the sum of $125,OOO
as part of the $35, 100000 which
will be raised in America for the
Y. NJ. C.. A. War Fund. This
money is to provide some of the
comforts needed by the boys at
home and abroad. 1t provides i
place where the soldiers may 90

ment writing, materials, something
to eat, help and religious inspira-
ton 1t matters not what his creed
may be, Mohammedan, Herbew,
Christian-Or no creed at all, all
are ministered to, and all are bet
ter soldiers for it.
Thousand of our boys are already
somewhere in Europe. In few
months many thousands more will
be there. The Y. NJ. G.. A. goes
with these boys right into the fir
ing line. 1t may be that the money
North Dakotan subscribes today
will provide a cup of hot coffee or
chocolate that will brace a Dakota
boy as he goes lover the top" to
victory on some dawn not far
distant. 1t is such help that all
American mother would give her
boy to make him do his best if she
were near enough. But since she
can't be, the Y. NJ. G.. A. will do
it for her.
North Dakota is proud of the
boys who have gone to the colors.
The result of the campaign will tell
some thing of how much she loves
them!

Hunter 10 AppoIntsd

A. |. Hunter, President of the
First National Bank of Grand
Forks, has been appointed a memb-
er of the North Dakota Banker s
Association Committee to meet
with the State official and confer
with them regarding the supply of
seed grain for farmers in the west.
ern part of the state. The confer.
ence will be held in Bismarck on
Saturday, November "a.
The North Dakota Banker s
Association has been considering
some means of financing the seed
grain proposition next spring, and
the conference will determine up
ON some feasible plan. 1t is said
that farmers in the west will need
large quantities of seed oats, bar.
ley and flax next spring.
Mr.. Hunter some time ago sug-
gested that township boards of
county Commissioners issue grain
bonds, so that the banks would be
able to finance the farmers with
little difficulty.
The seed situation in the west
has caused great deal of disturb
ance and excitement among farm
ers because of the fear that seed
grain would be impossible to Sc
cure: This trouble has been great
ly abated and now business men
bankers are bending every effort
to procure financial assistance for
the farmers who lost heavily on the
1917 crop.

Hairless Hons.

Grand Forks, n. D.-Hairless
hogs, this is the term used in
speaking of pigs which die for the
want of hair. Word comes to the
North Dakota Development Leag-
lie Press Bureau at Grand Forks
recently that 100000 young pigs
die in Montana annaully on this
account. In some localities pigs are
the only animals affected while in
others, the pigs may be normal and
the lambs are affected. Hairless
ness is disease of definite localit-
les, occurring to a great extent in
Montana, but rarely in North Oak.
This malady is subject to curl,
GUS variations. A ranger one year
may lose practically all his pigs
and the next year, with the same
breeding stock and conditions, lose
none. Pigs born in March and AID.
ril are more frequently affected
than those born in May or June.
Fall pigs are usually normal even
in affected districts.
1t was found on investigation
that the majority of the hairless
pigs had golfers and enlarged Thy.
roid glands. This is supposed to
have caused the hairless condition
and it was suggested that one sided
rations for the brood sows caused
the golfers. Iodine supplies the
breeding sows during the period
of CESSATION has proved an effec-
tive prevention Of goiter in the
new born pigs and Montana
Pig expert advocates the feeding
of iodine to pregnant domestic an
finals in the sections of the North.
west where goiter in young animals
is common.

No Loailng on tho Job.

What would be done with the
driver of an ammunition wagon
who was supposed to be carrying
ammunition to the American Sol
diers on the battle front who quit
the job to go fishings
What would be done with the
man whose business it was to get
food to the boys in the trenches
who quit because he thought he
had done enough for that day, and
who let the soldiers go without
their support
What would be done with the
army doctor who quit ministering
the wounded because he didn t
think of the war anyway.
That which would be done 70
each of these men would be good
and plenty. And it would be done
with the full approval of nearly all
of us.
Then how about the man who
neglects or refuses to do his part
toward getting the ammunition to
the man who is to take it to the
front; the food to the man who is
to carry it to the trenches; the
dressing and bandages to the SUR
geon i'll order that he may perform
operations and save Life? Is there,
any difference? The soldier at the
front is there to do his part. The
man Just behind him is there to do
his. And the rest of us, rank by
rank, are here in order tina: we
may max j: possible for all those
men to perform their work. There
must be no loafing on the job.

lniantlls Paralysis Committee
3OpoYto.

A year ago Mayor Mitchell, of
New York, appointed a special
committee to aid the city Depart
ment of Health in all investiga.
ton Of poliomielitis. The commit.
tee was made up among others of
Mayor Mitchell as chairman, DR..
Simon Flexner; DR.. Haven Emer-
son, Health Commissioner of New
York City. The committee studies
5,496 cases, and has summarized
its findings as follows:
l. Infantile paralysis is com
municated by personal contact.
2. Slight and non-paraletic cases
are the most frequent sources of
infection, as these cases arouse less
suspicion and others come in con-
tact with them.
3. The disease usually develop
es from three to ten days after ex-
posture.
4. Previous good health does
not give immunity from attack.
The points which the committee
emphasize in their report and
which they considered of the most
practical Importance to parents,
are these:
1. Children who are ill should
be kept away from others until it
is definitely certain that the ill
child has not a communicable d.
sease.
2. If ones own child develops
suspicious symptoms, the child
should be kept away from others
till it is known that it has not a
communicable disease.

Five Filthy Fingers.

Did you ever make diary of
your fingers? Did you ever set
down in cold black and white the
things your fingers touch every
day and did you ever consider the
number of times daily that your un
washed fingers seek your mouth?
When surgeons discovered that
it was their own infected fingers
which carried germs into wounds
they set about trying to discover a
means whereby their hands could
be rendered surgically clean, i. e.,
free from germs. The whole realm
Of chemistry was ransacked for
agents which would disinfect hands
and the scrubbings and immeri-
sions to which they subjected their
hands are even yet a tender men,
DRY to the surgeons of that period.
But all of these efforts proved USE
less and at last in despair surg
cons took to wearing rubber
gloves which could be boiled, thus
bringing to each patient, as it were
fresh pair of sterile hands. In
other words, try as you will you
can't by any known method make
your hands absolutely clean.
The great agent in the spread
of those diseases whose causative
organism is present in the secre.
tons of the mouth and nose, is the
human hand; and if saliva was
bright green we would be amazed
at the color of our fingers. AS a
matter of fact most of us carry
our fingers to our mouth and nose
many times daily, there to implant
the germs of disease which other
careless people have spread about
there to collect a fresh cargo of in
fectious material to scatter fol
somebody else.
