case that a stomach will contain two

DR.. JONES
LAST ON
COURSE
Well Known Woman Will
Speak at Grand Theatre
Sunday Evening.

The last number on the Grand Free
Lecture course for this season will be
given next Sunday evening. and prom
ises to be one of the most interesting
numbers OF the series. On this occa-
sion DR.. Effie McCollum Jones, Of
Iowa, will speak on the subject, Poll
teal Equality and Women's Respon-
sibility. ...
DR.. Jones is one Of the most elo-
quent and convincing speakers on the
lecture platform. She has filed many
positions of honor and trust, among
Of Lombard college Of Galesburg, Ill.
from which institution she received
the honorary degree Of doctor of di-
Vinity. Less than a half dozen women
in the country have been so hoEored.
1t was while DR.. Jones was a stud
ent at Lombard that she met, as a
classmate, B. Wallace Jones, and they
were married as soon as they were
graduated.
Those who know DIR. Jones best,
think Of her. not as q lecturer, but as
a home woman, the mother of two
beautiful daughters and the charm
ing hostess in a home where dis
tinguished persons have been enter
tanned.
Those at the head of the Grand
Free Lecture course are much elated
at being able to secure DIR. Jones for
an address, and they promise the
patrons Of these lectures something
well worth while-something educa-
tional, progressive, and OF a sound
and practical nature.

TO AGAIN
COLLECT
RENTALS
After Long Period, Fargo
Citizens Must Once More
Pay for Water.

1.-THE city has returned to the people
of Fargo about $4,000 since Septem-
Der 10, last, by rebating water rents,
greatly reducing the surplus IN the
water fund of the city," said Robert
B. Blakemore, commissioner of water
and sewer, today.
Since that date the water works
plant of the city has been running at
a loss of about 800 a day in order to
return this money to the people,
Mr.. Blakemore wishes the attention
of the people of the city called to the
fact that their water rents must be
paid before April Is in order that
they may get the benefit of the rebate
which is given when payments are
made before the fifteenth Of the
month. This rebate amounts to 33 1-3
per cent, bringing the charge for wat
er down to cents per thousand gal
Ions.
The last previous water rental COL
lected by the city was last June. For
a nine month period, the city water
users have not been required to make
a new payment.
During the three months, from June
1 to September /, water was given
away free. From September 1 to
April /, the water rental paid in June
of last year was made to cover the
cost Of water-and now, after a va
cation of almost year, the city water
users must begin paying again.
