Bold Thief Selects Daytime.

! Some bold thief selected Thursday
afternoon as time for committing
some robberies. Due to the fact that
most of the residents had been drawn
to the business portion of the city to
see the Billy Clifford parade, the
time selected was most opportune.
Mr.. Geo. r. Grant, before leaving
his home, closed all of the windows
except one facing College street,
thinking that surely no one would
have the temerity to attempt to get
into his house from this side. He
was mistaken. for that WAS the win

selected fine new overcoat belong
ing to Mr.. Grant. He also found
some silver money that had been left
in the house.
Mrs. John King, neighbor of
Mr.. Grants, closed every window
except the one on her front veranda.
This was the one thru which the thief
entered. After entering the thief
collected several diamond rings. a
diamond brooch. twenty-five dollars
in gold and several valuable trinkets.
When Mrs. Gene Wright returned
to her home, she attempted to thrust
the key into the lock and found that
another key had been broken off in
the lock. 1t is presumed that the
Wright's house, but in his hurried
condition broke the key in the at

The boldness with which the rob-
berries We're committed leads one to
suspect that the criminal is one of
no ordinary type. That. in each
case, he selected the right window
shows that he had planned the burg
laries with care. 1t requires no or
dinary degree of boldness to walk
up to mans window in broad open
daylight. open the window. walk in,
and after a careful selection of the
contents of the house, walk out again.
1t is reported that small negro
boy saw the thief as he was at work
at Mr.. Grants residence. II is to
be hoped that he can give suf
ficiently authentic description to the
authorities to enable them to appre-
hend the criminal.

time and on the same street. The
home of Mrs. Is. c. Adams on Margin

been apprehended and made their
confessions. They are; Bruss Sad

and citizens of that town. The two

LUCIANO, Aug. 1s.-Italian news
paper correspondents in Athens re-
port that King Alexander of Greece
has broken completely with his par
ents, and has not even been exchang-
ing letters with them since they
were deported by the allies.
The young ruler is said to hate his
pro-German father, the dethroned
King Constantine, and also TO have
little love for his mother. the second
youngest sister of the German en-
peror Everything German is re-
pulsive TO him and he believes that
the German empire and Austria
Hungary should be divided among
the entente powers.
In an interview which he granted
10 an italian journalist recently in
the presence of Prime Minister Neni-
zelos. the young monarch said:
Greece has now definitely entered
the war and viii fight on the side Of
the allies until Germany is destroyed.
1 am convinced there viii be no Ger
man empire when peace finally
comes. The Germans must not be
permitted TO remain a nation. The
world viii only be safe if they are
subjugated and ruled by the peoples
fighting against them.
Sentimental reasons and the talk
OF the rights Of nations should not
prevent the destruction of the politi-
cal existence of this hateful race. II
is absolutely necessary that the bar
barians be compelled to pay for the
damage caused by them. and that
can only he done if they are made to
work for the allies for at least a cen
fury. The overthrow of the Hohen-
zollerns is not sufficient, because
Germany as a republic would still be
a danger to universal peace"
According 10 the Milan Secolo. the
youthful king intends TO visit Lon
don shortly, and it IS expected that
his engagement TO an English prin-
cess Will then be announced.

DROUTH IN THE
VALLEY BROKEN
Rain Fell in Torrents South
east of Fargo Early
Today

Rain fell in torrents at points be-
tween GAINESVILLE and the Canadian
boundary along the Great Northern
line at midnight Sunday, according to
reports reaching here this morning.
The storm was CARRIED in brilliant
electrical display. Hail fell for sew
eral minutes in the vicinity Of Barnes
vile, but did little damage, grain not
being far enough advanced to suffer.
With the exception of but one light
shower, the country in the southeast
ern part Of the Red river valley was
experiencing the worst drouth in years.
Men in touch with farm work stated
that grain had already begun to joint
at a height of about five inches In
several places wheat had started to
head out with just a few kernels to the
head.
Another week of the drouth would
have been grievous to crop conditions
in that part of the valley. Pastures
were short of feed and potato veins in
some places between GAINESVILLE and
Fargo were whitening for want OF suf-,
ficient moisture. Rains which had WIS., Z
listed Fargo and points west of this
city failed to even develop into show
ers east of here.
This mornings early downpour soak
ed the fields. The McEvers farm, near
Sabin, one of the best potato tracts in
the Red river valley, reported potatoes
just peeping through the earth Sunday.
A most remarkable growth, following
the rain, was reported this morning.
In some of the fields where the spuds
were planted early, potatoes are in
bloom. Everywhere in the famous
Early Ohio district was a cry for rain
and that unless it came soon the crops
would be "shot." ~H
Saturday evenings downpour which
brought spontaneous welcome from
the business men and the farmers OF
Cass county, was only local. 1t eK-
tended just short distance southeast
of Moorhead. Rain fell for nearly 30
minutes in torrents on the Fargo
streets, being the heaviest shower to
date. -

STATE NURSES
ENROLLING FOR
WARTIME SERVICE
North Dakota Association in
Line with Appeal to
Qualified Women

A call has come from Washington
for more nurses to enroll as Red Cross
nurses. While there are more than
5000 nurses In the Red Cross in the
United States, many of these are
holding responsible positions such as
superintendent of hospitals or are
public health nurses, and it would be
unwise for them to give up their posi-
tions. Many Red Cross nurses are
being sent to Europe. With gather
ing of a large body Of men this fall
many more will be needed.
To become a Red Cross nurse one
must be registered under the laws Of
the state and a member of an asso-
citation affiliated with the American
Nurses association. This is required
so as to obtain nurses Of good stand
ing. The three Nurses associations in
this state affiliated with the Ameri-
can Nurses association are the North
Dakota State Nurses association, the
Grand Forks County Nurses associa-
ton, and the st. Johns Hospital
Alumnae association. Application
blanks are obtained from the st.
Johns hospital for their alumnae as
ISOLATION and are only for their grad
yates. Miss Minnie Txaynor, SOC
North sixth street, Grand Forks, N.
D., is corresponding secretary of the
North Dakota State Nurses associa-
ton, and will send blanks to any
nurse wishing one.
A telegram has just been received
from Miss Anna Goodrich, president
of the American Nurses association,
asking the state association to urge
enrolment. A special meeting of the
executive board win be called not
later than July to consider applica-
tions. This is for young nurses just
graduating and for those who have
neglected to join before.

OLD LOOKS?
(BY DR.. '. M. PIERcE.)

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look
older than they should. They age
faster and the appearance of gray hair
or baldhead in early years is, indeed,
often a sign of uric acid. The face
appears lean and haggard, lines and
wrinkles appearing in young men or
women.
The best way to combat this pren1as
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest. Drink copiously of pure water
between meals. Obtain at any drug
store a small package of Anuric which
Is to be taken before meals, in order to
expel the uric acid from the system. The
painful effects of baclxache, ltimbago,
rheumatism, govt, due to uric acid in
the blood should quickly disappear after
treatment with Anuric.
