When the war broke out there
were probably 100000 Jews in the
war stricken countries in the eastern
theater OF war. Today there is APP

slowly starving to death. The rest
of the Jewish population has been
literally swept out by the destruction
OF the Russian and German armies,
the Rumanian pograms and the de-
vastations of the diseases brought
on by improper food and lack Of

help us save them. All we ask for
them Is enough money TO buy sup

SUIT LAUNCHED
AGAINST -FOUR
GRAIN CONCERNS

Bismarck, N. d. oct, %. Charging
illegal combination, the state of
North Dakota has entered suit
against the Great Western Grain Co.,
the Powers Grain Co. the occident
Elevator Co, and the Monarch EIe-
vator Co., foreign corporations en-
gagged i'll business in North Dakota
and at Minneapolis and Duluth. The
complaint alleges that all of the de-
PENDANTS "unreasonably and arbit-
rarily" fix their, prices according to
q daily list issued by the Grain Bull
letin of Minneapolis, which the state
alleges is controlled by the Minnea-
polls Chamber of Commerce. The
complaint alleges that through this
practice $40 10000 has been extorted
from the farmers of the state at
large, and damages are claimed from
the companies specifically named as
defendants in the sum Of 100000.
The complaint sets forth that Oct
ober 16 there was a spread of 19k
cents per bushel in the price paid for
wheat between Mandan and Duluth;
Fl cents on barley, 81 to SO cents on
fax, and 20 cents for rye. The freight
rate on the first cereal grains is 12
cents a bushel On flax the tariff is
21A cents per busheI.
The state. contends that this
agreement and conspiracy restricts
trade and gives the defendants and
other elevators an unjust, illegal and
extortionate compensation for hand
ling grain that is 100 per cent more
than is reasonable" and it asks that
the defendants be enjoined from con.
Quoting such illegal pool and, de-
mands that it account to the courts
for the business done pursuant to
such understanding during the
months of August, September and
October, so that the amount of dam
ages suffered through such alleged IL
legal practices may be determined.
The suit was filed by Attorney
General LANCER.

The Jews of Fargo will make an
appeal to the citizens Wednesday TO
provide funds for the starving Jews
I-of Europe. 1t is the first time in
the history Of the Jewish people that
they have made an appeal TO the gen.

year the Jews of America raised
SlO, 900 900 to be sent to the suffer-
ing people of their race in the war
stricken countries. The condition
this year is even worse and 1t Is to
save many lives from death from
starvation that the appeal is being
made.
Fargo's share of the fund to be
raised is $500 and Of this sum 49,.
900 has already been raised, the great
part of it among the Jewish people
of the city. w. II. Barnett has been
named chairman of the workers

mittes this morning. The captains
and committee members in charge

1--WE are sure that Fargo will sub
scribe the full amount" said Harry
Lashkowitz, a member Of the. exec
utive committee today. "a large
part of the $4,000 which the commit
tee already has in hand is the gift
of Jewish people Of the city, many of
the residents of lower Front street
having already contributed generous
Iy considering their circumstances
to the fund for the help OF the mem
bers of their race. We feel sure that
this great need that exists will ap-
peal to the people of the city and that
the sum we need will be realized"

SUIT is THREATENED

Cass county is threatening to be-
1 gin action against the parents or
guardians of several feeble minded
children being cared for at the state
institute at Grafton. Under the law
the parents or guardians are liable
for the keep of such children just
as they are for the care of any 9TH
er children. In several instances
payments by persons in position to
support such children have not been
made, and the Cass county commits
sioners have decided to begin suits
in the event that immediate pay
ments are not made.

Longer Lessons
Face Students

The work OF students of the Fargo
high school and the Fargo public
schools, who are now enjoying q. va
cation as a result Of the Spanish in
fluenza epidemic, probably will be
speeded up to make up the time lost
by the enforced vacation.
No statement was forthcoming
from Arthur Deamer, superintendent
of schools, who declared today that
the matter had not yet been given
consideration.
Indications are that when the
schools reopen. three weeks work
will have to be made UP. and it is
not unlikely that longer lessons will
be the order. An extension of the
school term Is not probable, as teacn-
ers are employed under contract. and
an extension would call for an in
creased outlay for their salaries. The
teachers are being paid at the pres
emit time,
