In most Of the country the
snowflake season this year was
delayed in transit.
Last winter we talked about
the coal shortage; this year
about the health shortage.
Those who get over the influ-
enza are invariably the persons
who were sufficiently scared
about it to go to bed and obtain
adequate medical attention right
away. In this disease foresight
is much better than hindsight.

French cities have added greatly to their
harbor facilities since the war began. These two
facts, taken in conjunction with the restoration
of Aisace and Lorraine and the eagerness of the
French government to add to its merchant feet,
can have but one meaning. The French see an
opportunity to seize the continental commercial
supremacy that was Germany's.
Germany spent forty years building up its
foreign commerce, and it was close second
to Great Britain when the war began. Now its
merchant fleets have been broken up and seized
by the Allies; it's priceless terminals gone;
Its great manufacturing centers will lose their
needed supplies Of iron Perhaps Hamburg VIII
regain the prestige it once held, but perhaps its
glory has departed permanently, and another de-
cade will see 1t replaced by Brcst or Bordeaux or
a Mediterranean port. France has ambitious
plans for the development OF her trade with
Africa. Undoubtedly her shipowners have also
cast longing eyes at the transatlantic trade
which was rapidly passing into the hands Of
Germany when the war broke out. The French
ports have many natural advantages and there
is no reason why they should not replace Ham
burg IL the French vessel owEcrs have the won
derful ships and tho wonderful service that the
German lines were able to offer.

sAskArcHEwAN's EXPERIMENT.

Saskatchewan is spending the necessary time.
money and energy on an experiment that should
be Of the greatest interest and Importance to
North Dakota.
Plans are definitely under way there to utilize
the vast Ignite deposits to supply electric light
and power to the principal cities of the province.
The central power plant will be erected in the
heart of the Ignite fields and the light and
power distributed from there Each city will
bear a proportionate part Of the expense and
guarantee its share of the necessary bond is
sue
Many we'll informed men have asserted for
years that the more economical way to use
North Dakota'g Ignite would be to distribute the
power rather than the fuel itself They have
maintained it would be cheaper to burn the fuel
at the mouth Of the mine, and carry the current
than to transport the fuel.
saskatchewan's experiment should provide the
answer to that question. It is estimated that
the power plant will cost about $1,6ooooo and the
power line something less than $4,000 mile 1t
will be 1870 miles along, and will supply the cities
Of Regina Moose Jaw, Estevan, Wayburu and
other towns.
If Saskatchewan can make a success OF this
experiment there is nothing to prevent Fargo,
Grand Forks, jamestown, Valley City and Bis
marck from drawing their electric power from
great central plant located in the Ignite
fields. It might also solve the problem OF cheap
power for North Dakota cities, and put North
Dakota in a position to compete even with water
power sites for manufacturing industries

TO HARNONIZE
LEAGUE PLANS
(By Associated Press.o


Paris, Dec. 26.-An international
organization has been formed to Sc
cure uniformity Of principles re-
speeding a league OF nations, for
presentation at the peace confer
ence.
An international bureau has been
established with offices in the Boul-
evard st. German for the purpose Of
reaching an accord between the
British. French, American, Italian
and all other national organizations
supporting the league.
1t is expected that three separate
English societies will be consoltdat-
ed under the presidency Of Sir Ed
ward Grey.
Three italian societies, at Rome,
Milan ana Turin. will be similarly
consolidated. a
The initial meeting held last night,
was for the purpose Of arranging
plans for the harmonizing Of view
points into one joint declaration of
principles. A telegram already has
been forwarded to the American and
British societies with the purpose OF
establishing a common agreement.
M. Bourgeois said the differences
at the meeting largely were detailed
and that they would be reconciled
little by little until the influence OF
the sessions would become world
wide as regards a joint declaration
before the peace conference.
1t is understood the representa-
tives of all nations have virtually
agreed on the principles of compul-
sorry arbitration and the limitation
of ornaments and that the chief
differences requiring reconciliation
are the economic penalties to be en-
forced against nations making war
and whether the maintenance Of
peace shall be enforced by military
measures. These latter points are
the main ones on which the interna-
tional organizations now are endeav-
oring to establish a common ground.

Your Health and It's Care
GARAGE rnANGERs.
~ Dr. u. 81. Bishop Jr.

:
Do YOU have pains in the stomach, headache
or paipitation of the heart? Are you cross or
irritable, weak in the knees" and losing your
appetite? Are you losing weight or are you paler
than formerly?
If YOU have any one Of these symptoms and
are an automobilist there is a possibility that
YOU are being slowly poisoned by inhaling gaso-
line engine exhaust fumes. You are also in
danger Of being overcome by the poisonous fumes
and killed almost without warning.
Tests made by the federal bureau of mines
showed that the air in a. small closed garage
was rendered decidedly dangerous by the, re-
lease Of carbon ronoxide gas after little as
fifteen minutes OF operation of motor car en-
CINE This gas is recognized as extremely poi
solous and is the more dangerous that its pres
ence lis not readily recognized, since it is oder
less tasteless and colorless. It's deadly effects

rives soon.
undermine the health and that the victim Of
slow poisoning in a garage may be in ignorance
OF his dangers.
The dangers may be easily eliminated The
Inotorist should open the garage doors and VIM
dows or discharge exhaust gas directly to the
outside and should never run motor in q closed
garage Neither should he attempt to put on
or take of tire chains, fill grease cups or tinker
around the lamps while the motor is in opera
ton
The inhalation Of gasoline fumes has also been
known to cause fainting, but ais yet medical
men do not know much about the chronic syrnp-
toms that may result from inhaling a small
amount at time
The best informed physicians are OF the opinl
ion that there are chronic poisinings from gasd-
line fumes but we do not know much about them
as yet.

WHAT LOUISVILLE DID.

there were 10000 soldiers guests Of the city.
Tnr,jsville decided that a municipal swimming
pooi would yield bigger returns in exercise health
ana amusement for both the soldiers and civil

circular concrete pool was constructed IL Is
$50 feet in diameter and varies in depth from
8 to S feet. Together with very commodious
locker building an administration building, show

$4,000.
This sum is much greater than would DO nee

itself is probably three times the size OF the

meter might suffice. Fargo moreover wouio
have little excavating to do. for there Is natural
