MANY WARRANTS
+ FOR DELIVERY
Much Money Held by Audi.
tor Awaiting Demand Of
County's Creditors.

County Auditor Hans Anderson today
issued a notice to the effect that all
warrants due from the county. are
now ready for delivery and those to
whom the county is indebted. are re-
quested to call at their earliest con-
~venience.
The majority of the warrants are to
cover the cost of the prosecution of
the recent conspiracy charges brought
against the management of the East
Grand Forks Brewing company. The
debt Of the county totals nearly 49,
900, and the records now in the hands
Of the county officials are only a por-
ton of the total expenditures.
Before the cases have been disposed
of Grand Forks county will have been
put to a cost of many thousands OF
dollars, it is said. AS far as it can be
learned, it is the first time in history
that this county has been called upor
to carry the burden Of debt caused by
the prosecution Of a concern located
in another state.
The warrants due to witnesses an6
others are now ready, and those whe
want their money may obtain 1t a.
any time by calling at the auditors Of
fee.

TOLD OF DEARTH
OF MEDICAL MEN
Calls Of War Reduce Ratio

ly, is Report.

The vital necessity for the greatest
%nrecaution in matters pertaining to
the protection of the public health Is
seen in the recently completed census
of the medical profession or Nortn
ako There are$722 physicians, or
one to every thousand of population.
over 100 of these physicians are IN
the United States medical ofncefs re-
serve corps and about 800 of those
remaining are considered aVaiiaole
for military service.
In other words, IL these 400 men
are withdrawn for military duty
there will be only one physician to
every $500 population. The average
village of from 1900 to 1900 popula-
ton now has from three to five ply
sicianS.
Compared With France.
1t will be remembered, however,
that in France previous to the war
there never was more than one ply
stefan to every 1000 population. Were
this same ratio to be applied to North
Dakota there would be only SS ply
sicians in the state. Most of these
would be found In the larger cities
and towns.
1t is necessary to call attention tc
these facts because few people realize

MANY MEN ARE
EXAMINEDFOR
FIRST QUOTA
Less than so Per Cent Of
Registrars Certified up
n For Service.

Next Tuesday morning, 139 regis
trants from Grand Forks county will
report to the local examination board,
subject to draft for military service
in the draft army, and to be included
in the first quota. 4.s
When the 139 men are examined,
the Grand Forks county board will
have called sos men in the effort to.
obtain the quota of PIG men, plus 10
per cent for emergencies, or 238. men,
Already 666 men have been exam
ined, and from this number the quota
could not be obtained, many being re-
jected for physical disability and the
majority claiming exemption because
of dependents .or4for industrial rea-
sons.
Complete returns from the state ex-
but another list Of men who have been
refused release from military obliga-
lions is expected within a short time.
178 Certified.
AT present, only 176 men have been
certified up for military service. OF
this number, seven were discharged
prepared to proceed to Camp Dodge
for training. Representing 45 per cent
Of the quota, 81 men have already
proceeded to the mobilization camp
and are now in military service; leav-
ing only 72 men. AS SO men COM
prise 40 per cent of. the quota, the
number of. registrants eligible for mil
itary service at the present time Is not
sufficient to make up the next incre-
ment.i
Need IA More.
From the 1873 men to be examined,
it is not expected that more than SO
will qualify for service. The shortage
may be alleviated, however, by the re-
lection OF descriptions now before the
state board. In the very near future.
it is expected that the next contingent
will be ordered to prepare for de-
parture to Camp Dodge, and before
be necessary to obtain at least IA more
certified soldiers.
In the opinion of MEMBERS of the
county board, following the departure
Of the first quota for the training
camps. a call will be issued to all, reg
istrants to report before the board
for examination. This system, local
board members claim, would elimin-
ate much of the work now caused by
the repeated calls. For this county
alone, it is estimated that all day ses-
sion of the examining board would
be necessary before all registrants
had been considered.
Upon completing the examinations
those8who were rejected for physical
disability would be free to venture
forthsin civil life in any project in
which they might be interested with
out fear of being forced to abandon
plans because Of military duties. II
all registrants are examined, the ex-
emption boards could then investigate
each. Individual case more closely and
would not be forced to work overtime
in order to make early returns to 10.
cal boards.

had been issued from the Office of
County Auditor Hans Anderson. near
ly 800 less than the total number is
sued during the 1916 season. With
the arrival of cold weather, it is be-
