Will SPEAK ON
CHILD WELFARE
Mrs. Mary B. Thompson tc
Deliver Address Here
Friday Evening.

Mrs. Mary Breckenridge Thompson
Of the federal children's bureau will
come to Grand Forks Friday to de-
liver an address in the interests of
the child welfare department Of the
woman's committee of the Council of
National Defense in it's children's year

ster, Northwood, Gilby and all other

cations to the meeting.

(the B~reckinridges of Kentucky
noted for oratory, and for some time
she has ben using her talent for pub
lie speaking in the cause of children.
She has addressed meetings in all Sec

CHANGES MADE
F0RALL0TMENTS
New Methods Adopted For
Handling Soldiers
Funds.

Changes which went into effect on
July l relative to. the method of
handling soldiers allotments and al
lowances, have caused considerable
misunderstanding among the persons
who are accustomed to receive these
allowances. By this change, by which
the delivery Of government allow
ances will be speeded up, delay in the
delivery Of checks has occurred dur
ing h reorganization of the system,
according to the Soldiers and Sailors
Civilian Relief committee Of this city.
Two classes Of allowances and al
lotments are recognized by the gov
eminent; the one by which every en-
listed mar is compelled to make an
allotment to his wife and children of
SIS. which is supplemented by an al
lowance by the government; the sec
ond class by which a man may make
a voluntary allotment of IS to other
relatives If he is giving the COM
pulsory allotment to his wife and chill
dren, and SIS, if he has no wife and
children, which is also supplemented
by government allowance.
Beginning with July first, the bu-
reau Of war risk insurance, which
formerly took care of the entire
business, will now handle only the
allotments which carry a family al
lOWance, namely, allotments OF SIS or
$40, n the smaller allotments will
be handled by the department in
which the man Is enlisted.
The excess allotments, hat is, the
extra IS allotments and the allot-
ments to persons not entitled to gov
eminent allowances, must be made,
since July l, to the proper. officer in
charge of the enlisted mans accounts
and it will be paid through one of the
following Offices: Office Of the quar-
termaster general, wal department;
navy allotment officer, navy depart
ment; paymaster U. S. marine corps
headquarters, and captain command
ant, u. S. guard.

WILL HAVE NO
CELEBRATION
SEPTEMBER II
Suggestion of Parade and
Speeches Does not Meet
With Approval.

It is the opinion of many Of the
business men of Grand Forks that a
celebration sue as was held in this
city on June 5, 1917, would not be in
order for September -, 1918. Such a
celebration would consist of a parade
in Central park where the afternoon
would be devoted to speeches and
music.
The reasons az given by most of
those interviewed regarding their
opinion of the celebration was, this is
the busiest time of the season when
the threshing, which is of vital i'm
portance, is we'll under way and the
scarcity of men to carry on the
threshing is so great hat the work is
being accomplished very slowly; the
from their work unless the cause is
of vital importance. 1t is not because
they do not feel the spirit which
prompted the suggestion, but solely
because of conditions at the present
time.
Many Of the registrars are making
arrangements whereby it will be pos
sible for those engaged in threshing
work to register without being taken
from their work. in some cases allow
ing the men to register ahead Of time;
in other cases the places of registra-
ton will remain open until q late hour
on the evening of September -. so
that the men may register after their
days work is completed.
1t was the opinion OF several of the
men interviewed this morning that a
parade and speeches or similar fea-
lures would interfere with the regis
tration and for this reason alone these
men were decidedly opposed to the
plan.
The published suggestion Of the
governor to "let every flag fly" met
with hearty endorsement of all, with
the added remark that every home
and business place in the city should
see that a flag is displayed.
Grand Forks is not at all lacking in
patriotic spirit, this has been demon
strated on many occasions within the
past few months and it can never be
said of this city that it is deficient in
this respect. At the present time ctti-
zens are volunteering their cars and
their assistance, to the local draft
board in helping with arrangements
to make the registration a success ir
this city n county, and in numerous
other ways the public here exhibits
patriotic spirit which appears to be ir
no need of the stimulation afforded b,
a celebration on a large scale.

COVERING FRUIT WITH GOLD
Festival Custom In Southern India
Has Long Been Recognized Fea-
ture Of Native Life.

One Of the interesting uses to which
brass and gold leaf are applied In
southern India Is for gliding lines.
the decorated fruit, according to To-
cal custom, being exchanged by ma
lives on festival occasions in token
Of esteem. The origin Of this practice
Ii apparently unknown, but 1t dates
from q distant period and is a recog-
nized feature of Indian life. The ex-
change Of lines takes place on New
Years days, Of which several are OBJ
served in India. Besides the English
anniversary observed by the natives.
the Mohammedans and the Tamil and
Telugu branches Of the Hindus have
special New Years days. A native
calling on New Years day on a per-
son to whom he or she desires to
show esteem, presents the host with
a lime. In the case of the well-to-do
the lime Is always ornamented with
brass Or gold leaf. The custom some
times extends also to the ordinary
"tamash" or social reunion. Thus, q
good deal Of brass leaf Is used for
gilded lines and the bazaar trade In
this line throughout southern India

worn generally by Mohammedans In
southern India on their holidays and
for decorations on the dresses Of

UNMARRIED BY TIMES PASSING
Rice seeds Hidden for Ten Centuries
In japanese Temple terminate and
Produce Good Crop.

|. At the Zensui temple In Iwane Wiz
lages japan, q very ancient wooden idol
OF Vaisravana was opened about four
years ago. and some rice that had re-
posed therein fully ten centuries was
removed and planted. The seeds ger
minated, and the rice grown therefrom
appears to be similar In all respects
to that of the present day. The yield
was large, and the crop for the pres
ent year from this seed Is expected
to be excellent.
valsravana is the god of treasure.
When the statue was repaired the
wOrkmen exhumed bag of coarse fax
en- textile, which proved to contain the
rice seeds, with a piece Of paper bear
ing the following inscription In Chi

COULD ANYTHING BE SIMPLER
Yet Probably Many Who Have Sud-
denly Dlsmounted From Mule
Never Saw Things That Way.

A young soldier was watching the
efforts of his fellow privates to ride a
refractory mule. Not one Of them
could stay on its back for two Sec
onds.
At last the looker-on approached and
drawled:
II say. let me show you how it's
DONE"
"Come on, then" said the soldiers.
The youth sided up to the mule,
swung himself on the animals back,
wrapped his legs beneath its body
and took a firm hold on the reins. The
mule made a slight effort to dislodge
him, but the man stuck. Another
slightly more strenuous effort by the
mule also failed. Then, laying his ears
back, and taking a deep breath. the
mule shot his heels into the air at an
angle of IS degrees, and the young
man was propelled to the ground.
He slowly arose to his feet. screwed
his face into a smile and said:
"Now, that's the way, boys! When
you see he's goin' to pitch you OF, just

BUSY GREEK PEASANT GIRL
Care Of Sheep and Goats, and House.
hold Duties, Leave Her Little
TINY for 0aIlying.

To the Greek peasant girl is COM
mitted the care of her fathers flock,
which she must lead every day to the
pasture and fold at night. The vosk0-
poula, or shepherdess, is one of the
most prominent characters in rural
folk song, and many a charming idyl
has been composed In her honor. +.
But she has little time for sylvan dali
lying, for the sheep and goats must be
MIXED, and the milk must be convert
ed into cheese and yiaourti, delicious
and wholesome sour curd, which Is In
great demand In the towns. When the
sheep have been shorn, the wool Is
bleached and spun, and then knitted
and woven into garments for the fam
lily or into cloth for sale. The cotton
or fax grown ON the farm must also
be gathered In their seasons, and pre-
pared for use. The cotton pods are
put through a small hand machine
called the mangano, which turns two
rollers different ways, and separates
the fiber from the seed. The instru-
ment next used Is the toxevein. large
bow made from a curved piece Of
wood five or more feet long, the two
ends of which are connected by stout
string. The cotton is placed loosely
on the string. which is made to vibrate
by being struck with q stick, produc-
Ing not unmusical sound. This proc
ess detaches the particles Of cotton.
and 1t is now ready to use as wad-
ding for the large quilts, which. with
a sheet tackled to the under side. form
all the winter bed covering used BY
the lower orders Of natives Of every
race. The mattresses are also usually
stuffed with cotton, and the palliasses
with the husks Of Indian corn.
