Interest Apparently centers
Around Present Years
.. Sheep Project.

The boys and girls Of Grand Forks
county deserve great credit for the
splendid results obtained in their eff
forts to aid in the war movements.
Aside from the wonderful gardens
found throughout the entire county,
interest seems to center around q
sheep project commenced during the
school year. &%
A prominent and wealthy farmer in
the county through the Farm Bureau
kindly loaned the boys and girls in
the county 5000 with which the
children began a prosperous sheep in
dustry, which If promoted will mean
a great deal to the state. s.
About 500 gardens kept up by the
children Of the county were found.
Many Of them would be c%reditable to
even expert gardeners. Aside from
caring for the garden a garden
story ds being kept and at the end
OF, the year exhibits from the various
gardens will be found at the annual
school exhibit al the court house.
Chickens and pigs are being cared
for by amateurs who are fast prov
ing that they may also be Of value.
n canning will perhaps e as
much to the children as any other
project attempted. This years exhib-
Its. were said to be the best line of
canned goods an exhibition. The chill
dren have spent many hours at pre-
done entirely by the cold pack meth
cd and which will be shown, at the
annual exhibit.
Instructors as we'll as the children
deserve great credit for the work be-

Their Efforts, Letter
Says.

A lot Of useful articles can be made
for the Red Cross by school boys, ac-
cording to a letter received by M.
Beatrice Johnstone. county superin-
tendent Of schools, from w. W. Mitch
ell. Minneapolis. division supervisor
of boys work, who suggests that
school boy manual work for the Red
Cross be systenatized here. In writ
ing, Mr.. Mitchell quotes the following
excerpt of a letter from the national
director Of boys work, at Washing
ton!
The American Red Cross has pro-
posed to h surgeon general. U. g.. A.,
to furnish to the medical corps Of the

school workshops viz: chests for table
ware, chests for cooking utensils.
chests for the laboratory. ambulance
boxes, plain bread boards. folding
bread boards, wood veneer splints,

and carried through by the National
Committee on Boys Work Of the Jun
Tor Membership and has now the full
approval of both the surgeon general.
U. 8. A., and the general manager,
American Red Cross"
Mr.. Mitchell then says:
School officials should be led to
appreciate the confidence and re-
sponsibility placed in their schools in
being given u share in the vital work
Of supplying to the army a part Of Its
equipment and therefore should real
l3e the necessity Of each delivering irs
quota of completed articles on time,
in entire conformity with directions
and specifications and oil Of a high
grade Of workmanship.
THE allotment in division has
to be completed by the 18th o. No

SIS HARVEST
HANDS NEEDED
IMMEDIATELY
Counties North Of Here Are
Just Beginning
Harvest.

The United States employment bu-
reau in. this city could use 325 men
at the present time before all of their
applications on hand would be filled,
it was said today. Nearly As men are
furnished with harvest jobs every day
and the urgent demand for more men
always exceeds the number sem out
the previous day: The greater mum.
Der of the applications for men at
the present time is coming from
farmers in the counties north of here
where it is possible that there may
be a serious shortage of labor as they
are just beginning harvest operations
in earnest. The officials at the en-
ployment bureau are of the opinion
that this may be avoided by the mi
grafton. of men from the southern
counties of the state where it is ex-
pected that threshing operations are
nearly finished and in this way the
labor demand Of those Of the north
could be met. '
r. W.. Smith of this city has re-
ceived an appointment through the
state advisory board and has entered
upon his new duties this morning to
do scout duty for the local employ
ment bureau. His duties consist of
canvassing the city to get men for
harvest work. and will be a great help
to the department.
A number of men from this city did
work or nearby farms last night as
shock troops. The troop was made
up of a number Of working men from
the Northern Packing plant, several
from the Northern State bank. and
several from Blacks Purity Sweet

LIGHTNING
H.. STARTS FIRE
Runs Down Electric Wires
Burning Them and 1gnit-
ing Paper.

Last night between $3.50 and 10
o'clock lightning struck near the
building of the w. j. Strutz garage
and confectionery store, SIS DeMers
avenue. The lightning entered the
building through the electric wires
burning u all the fuses and putting
out all the lights in the building.
The lightning ignited the wire con
.nected with the matted milk mixer
which was on the soda bar: the burn
ing wire hit the paper cover on the
bar and for a moment there vas quite
a little blaze which was soon extin-
guished without the aid of the fire de-
partment.
People who were in the building at
the time of the crash state that it
sounded as though the roof and wall
of the building were falling down.
Mrs. Strutz who was standing near
the milk mixer at the time was so
close to the machine that her right
side was numb for several hours. No
great damage was done in the build
ing.
1t is supposed hat the crash which
struck near the Strutz building was
the one which also slightly s%plintered
the flag pole in front of the Great
Northern depot. 4
About the same time all the electric
lights in the city hall went out.

Letters from the boys "over there,
have been pouring into the Grand
Forks postoffice, telling the folks at
home Of their experiences at the
front. The boys are eager to tell of
their first taste of fighting. and 40
soon as they return from the first
line they write home and the post
offices are flooded with the letters
bearing the conspicuous stamp of
the fieldt censor. Grand Forks has
had her share Of war mail. although
Assistant Postmaster Dunlop says
that there has been no rush at any
one time. Requests are also coming
for articles to be sent from home
and as a consequence boxes and
parcels have poured into the office.
These packages cannot be sent over
seas without a written order from
the boys, signed by a colonel or
major, and b folks at home eagerly
await these orders SO that they can
send the boys comforts and goodies.

Them Poison. She Says.

h. .- - ". " -
Two ows belonging to. M. Ruben
of 819 Second avenue, died yesterday
due to poisoning, according to a re-
port made by Mrs. Ruben today. 1t is
SUSPECTED that the poisoning was done
deliberately by a neighbor. Mrs. Ru-
ben said. as the result of some dis
agreement over the ownership Of the
cows. 1t is thought that an acid was
given to the cows. A veterinary was
called. but it was impossible to save
the animals. The Ease was reported
to the local police and Investigations
are being made. Mrs. Ruben said
that the cows were very valuable ami
mails and their death incurred a con-
siderable loss to their owner.

HOW MANY ARE TRULY HAPPY
Eminent New York Physician Places
the Number at About One
in Hundred.

The other night we CHANGED to ask
an eminent physician OF New York
city his opinion as to the number of
people who were truly happy. His
rather dogmatic reply was:
"About one in q hundred"
And this was not the opinion of
pessimist, but of a most radical op-
timist.
We wonder if this opinion is shared
by others. It does not mean, OF
course, that ninety-nine people out Of
a hundred are deeply unhappy. That
would be absurd. But there is no
doubt that a great many people are
quite unhappy q good deal of the time,
perhaps not half the time. but enough
rather to cloud their lives.
We should like to know the opinion
of physicians generally. More and
more people go TO the doctors to tell
them their troubles. The physician
Of today takes the place Of the con-
fessional of yesterday.
Then, too, there is the new applica-
ton of psychology to the field Of medi-
cfne-the so-cal1ed psycho-analysis,
which is so rapidly taking It's place as
an important part, literally, of the
medical pharmacopoeia. This new sci
ence has given a wonderful insight
into our sub-conscfous selves and re-
veals how far that sub-conscious self
really dominates our lives and deter
mines the amount of happiness which
we really get out Of this confused
Welter Of existence.

HOW OLD is LONDON TowN7
Notwithstanding Antiquity Of British
Metropolis Many Great Build
inGs Are Modern.

It is surprising, when we think Of
the age of London. and think OF the
tower which William the Conqueror
built; OF the ancient abbey; OF the Nor
man church; of St Bartholomew how
many Of London's most prominent
buildings are less than hundred years
old, and how many OF them are quite
recent structures, observes a writer
in London Tit-Bits.
OF all the buildings which flank
Whitehall only the Horse Guards, the
Banquet hall and the Old Admiralty
existed hundred years ago. The gov
eminent Offices are all new.
Within living memory the house of
parliament, the Thames embankment
and all its fanking buildings, ST.
Thomas hospital, the National gallery,
South Kensington museum, the Tate
gallery, the law courts, ali the big ho-
tells and even the present Mansion
house have been built, whilst nearly
all the banks and great piles Of COM
mercial offices in the city are new,
although the thoroughfares In which
they stand are very old. =
A hundred years ago there was no
High Holborn, no Shaftesbury avenue,
no Charing Cross road, no Regent
street-or, at most, 1t was just in the
making-and no Trafalgar square.
Kingsway and Aldwych are streets OF
yesterday.
Moreover, such great centers OF pop
ulation as Putney and Islington and
Hampstead and Edmonton were little
outlying villages quite disconnected
with London, whilst West Ham and
Willesden had no existence except as
names, and places like Shepherds
Bush and NORWOOD Scrubs might
have been in the backwocds of Aus
tralia or Canada for all the impor.
lance they represented. A century
ago, too, the railroad stations which
number about 1000 had no existence
whatever.
