III Demand
Eight Women In This City Said to
Have Been Ordered u Report for
Active Duty soon-Mat Be Re-
Ntained Hero TIL End OF Epidemic

1t Is reported authoritatively 3that
eight nurse Of Grand Forks have
been ordered to hold themselves ready
for a call into active Red Cross serv-
ice. after tomorrow, November 1. In
connection with this call has arisen
the suggestion that the present health
conditions here necessitate the serv-
ices Of these nurses. in the local field.
and some action may be taken to keep
them here for a time. +,
The shortage Of nurses here, at the
present time. has been more or less Of
q handicap in meeting the demands
made on the nursing forces Of the
town by the influenza epidemic
Should eight trained nurses be taken
away, just now, it has been said that
It would materially affect the local
nursing staff. and it has been sug-
gested that local doctors may make
an effort to retain the services of
these nurses, until the epidemic sub
sides. Authorities say there is no
question but what the nurses are
needed for service in the army hospi-
tails of this country and abroad, but
the civilian population which has been
hard hit by the influenza epidemic
also claims a share of attention from
the nurses of the country

Chas. w. Williams
Of Arvilla is Shot
Through the Neck
Wounded On August 80. But Three
Letters Written BY Him Since That
Date Have Been Received, Saying
He Wants to Go Back to Trench.

In today's casualty list appears the
name Of Charles w. Williams of Ar
villa as one of the American soldiers
who have been severely wounded while
fighting in France.
Owen Williams, father of the soldier,
said this afternoon that on September
1, S and 25 Charles had written letters
telling the folks at home that he had
been shot through the neck on August
80, and that he was in a hospital ex-
pecting to be able to go back to fight,
ing in the trenches soon-in fact, he
wrote, that he wanted badly to get
back to the active life of a fighter.
Judging from this information,
Owen Williams does not think that
his son has been very severely wound
ed unless the notification which came
from the war department concerns
wounds received later than September
Is. In his letter of the later date
Charles Williams said he was getting

NO PNEUMONIA
DEATHS TODAY
Brighter Weather Said to
Make Situation Look
More Hopeful.

No new developments on the local
influenza and pneumonia situation
were noted today. Atmospheric
changes occurred overnight, and
physicians estimated that the colder
weather which has set in, may have
a beneficial influence on conditions
here.
There. were no deaths reported in
the city and none at the university.
and it was pointed out that while
there are still many serious cases of
pneumonia throughout the commu-
nifty, there seems little danger of new
cases developing if the weather con-
ditions will continue to improve.
Grand Forks citizens were inter-
ested in observing that the closing or
der which has been in effect in Fargo
for several weeks. was revoked yes
terday, taking effect today and that
hereafter theaters, churches and pub
lie gatherings will be ~.unhampered.
Schools in hat city will not reopen
until the middle Of next week.
DIR. Henry O'Keefe, city health Of
ficer, said that he had reported seven
cases of influenza, yesterday to the
state board Of health. There was.
however, nothing to indicate that the
cases had developed within the last
few days. for reports are often eve
al days old before they are forward
ed to the city ealth officer.

The splendid work in school gardens

The appeal for photograph records
to be sen to training camps in this

Extension Work
OF University
Lyceum Courses Arranged for Var.
,ious Communities Throughout the
State Have Been Cancelled Because
OF Epidemic.

George M. Wilson. director of the
university extension division, said
this morning that cancellation Of ly-
ceum courses placed by the university
extension division had been received
from towns all over the state up. to
and including November IL. Reports
received from over the state would
indicate that the influenza situation
is not yet under control generally.
Clarence Burgderfer. we'll known
lecturer, was caught in the state at
the start Of the epidemic and up to
the present time has had to cancel
twenty-eight speaking engagements.
He is still at Minot awaiting the lift
ing OF the quarantine. The Mozart
Quartette and the Columbian ladies'
Trio are other courses that it has
been necessary for. the extension to
cancel throughout the state. It is
hoped that it may be able to have
these companies come to the state
later, but as yet no definite announces
ment can be made, Mr.. Wilson said
today. "

ating a tremendous advance in the

The high price being paid for milk
makes a COW that is heavy produc-

the animal.
Two years ago, COWS were selling

dollars, with some going below that.
A mark of s100 was unknown.
Demand for horses has increased
