There has been a little undue ex-
element regarding the "fu" situation
in the city and some people we feel
have been feeling alarmed because
there have been few new cases. The
Times Record editor had a personal
interview with Health Officer Pray
yesterday in which he assured US that
there was no immediate cause for
alarm. The board of health is keeping
close tab on the situation and we be-
lieve if the people would cut this hys-
terra and calm down the situation can
and is being handled in splendid
shape. There have been a few deaths
recently to be sure, and there will
probably be bad cases of the disease
possibly all winter. There are a few
extra new cases reported but the
spread of the disease so far as the
city is concerned is kept we'll in hand.
There are some critical cases that
have been hanging on for some time.
Some of these are improving while
others have passed away, but ma
jority Of the fatal cases have been
from people who have been brought in
from the country districts. We have
had some fatal cases, in the city to be
sure-and it would be strange if we
did not, considering the nature of the
disease and the population we have,
bat we have not had anything like the
morality other cities have had. We
are Informed that government Stats
tics show that only thirty per cent of
the people are subject to contract the
disease and the board of health has
made thorough canvass of every
house in the town and found out just
exactly how the matter stands here.
After this examination the board
feels that there is no cause for alarm.
TIE situation is improving, we have
had our thirty per cent according to
population and the board is going on
the theory that the government ex-
perts know what they are doing. The
1imes-Record believes that the people
themselves are more to blame than
ANYBODY else. Families who have the
disease 90 around among the public
with reckless abandon not caring
whether anyone else gets it or not. II
people with this trouble in the family
would have sense enough to remain at
home and not go around spreading
the disease there would be less Of It.
We have confidence in the local beard
of health who have handled this mat
ter in fine shape, and we are not in
favor Of shutting up things until the
board Of health deems it necessary and
up to this time they do not think it
is: When it is necessary the board
will get action. In the meantime
keep your head and leave it to the au-
thorities. The trouble is that if the
board closes up the town then some
body kr,Ss. If they take the ban on
then these same people kick. It is
mighty bard to please everybody.
Cheer up it might be whole lot worse
while on the other hand it is getting
better.

FORMER STUDENTS
IN FRANCE WRITE

Through the kindness of Miss Mar
garet C. Burns, until recently critic
teacher in the training school, now
supervisor at Hazleton, Pa, the Bud
get has received extracts from letters
written by two recent students at the
Normal school, now with the American
Expeditionary Forces.
Lester Hartnett, "a, writes, Back

heavy drive on the Huns, l wandered
into a French-American Y. M. C. A..
building, where l heard singing. l at
once thought of my Alma Mater. How

can boys here that it seems like home,
in way. Hope to visit V. C. N. in
the future. How are dramatics :?
Who is the misleading man now?
want to hear all the news about the
school,"
Lieut.. Clarence Carlson writes that
he has travelled extensively in France,
mostly by foot and freight, and that
he was located very close to the 164th
but did not have opportunity to see
any of the boys. At the time of writ
ing he said he; was very close to the
front, and could have thrown stone
into Germany. He hoped to be in the
trenches soon.
Miss Burns also writes that hel
brother, Lieut.. Myron BurnS, was
we'll and feared that Germany might
lquit the war before she was sufficient
| y punished.
"All the boys from Valley City are
doing nicely" writes Gunni Christian
son, Hdq. 1874 U. S. Inf, A. E. F
France, in letter received by tn,
registrar recently. Mr.. Christensen
will be remembered as the "Ty Cobb

TONS OF SUPPLIES
FOR EACH SOLDIER

A great deal of interesting and
hitherto unavailable information re-
garding Americas industrial activities
behind the lines in France, with many
realistic glimpses of the fighting front
such as none but Photographic experts
in the service Of the Government
could secure, are shown in "Ameri-
cas- Answer" the second official war
picture which. will be exhibited at
Normal auditorium in Monday eve
ming, Nov. 25th.
Americans generally have had very
little conception of the tremendous
amount of auxiliary work involved in
the participation of the United States
in the World War. Outside of official
circles few have realized that for ev-
cry man on the fighting front from
three to four men are required in the
rear lines to keep them at the top
notch OF efficiency and that at the law
est estimate each American soldier on
foreign duty requires at least four
tons Of supplies year. This means
the ultimate number OF. ships, the
need Of great docks to handle men and
supplies, the Use of thousands Of
American built trucks, the shipping
Of huge quantities Of provisions, gaso-
line, artillery, ammunition and other
supplies by rail or lorry to the front
and other activities.
Just how all these demands upon
the war and navy departments have
been met is visualized in "America's
Answer" in a way that is not only
stimulatingly instructive, but also en-
PERTAINING to an unusual degree.
Americas Answer" is the second big
feature war picture issued by the d.
vision of Films, COMMITTEES on Pub
ic Information, of which George
Creel is chairman. It is being distri-
buted by the World Film CORPORATION.

The North Dakota Independent Tel
ephone Company is going to make ap-
pication to the state board to get per-
mission to raise their rates in this
state, giving as the excuse the high
cost of materials and increase IN
wares due to the war. These argu-
ments might be all right while the
var was on but now that the war is
over it seems to US that the price OF
materials and the excessive war costs
ought to be coming down. The time to
ask for the raise on those grounds we
think has gone by.

1t is disclosed in the senate inves-
tisaGoa that the big brewers of the
country spent vast sums of money to
defeat the dry amendments in vari-
GUS states. This is not to be wonder
ed at. 1t would not very well be ex-
pected that the brewers would chip in
to bring about prohibition to the
ruination of their own business. The
business of the brewer is to sell as
much booze as he can and to create
all the misery and want the selling
Of tho booze will bring about. He
does not care whether children starve
or 60 bare footed so long as he can
sell the stuff at enormous profits and
cram the "greenbacks" secured from
the sale of the stuff into his jeans
However, the country is bound to &c
dry in the very near juture and the
brewer with his millions of dollars
death and starvation fund will soor
be out Of business.

Three years ago the TruxtoB Ath-
letic Club came rapidly to the front.
They were members Of the Washing
ton Amateur League and winners Of
the title in that circuit.
Last year after having won with
ease the pennant in the Capital City
League the TFuxtons were called on
to help save the Rosedale League
(then WashinEtons premier organi-
zation) from collapse. The lads were
taken in merely to fill in, and II was
a great surprise to every one when
they got right down to business, and
gave the Rosedales a much harder
fight for the coveted flag than they
had experienced in the rush up the
psnnant ladder in the first half Of
the schedule.
This year the Truxtons have fig
Ured in nine contests, winning the
FIRST six without much trouble only
to be turned back in their last three
starts by their Inability TO muster
their full strength At the start Of
the season the youthful organization
put forth an aggregation Of ball toss
ers which would have undoubtedly
proved to be one Of the hardest hit
ting teams in the vicinity.
The record follows:

Truxton VS.. Brentwood, g..
TruTton VS.. Federals, SO.
Truxton VS.. Camp Maigs, 1872.
