CONVENTION
DATE SET.
N. M. D. A. CONVENTION TO BE
HELD IN JANUARY
SURE.


The date Of the annual conven-
ton of the Northern Minnesota Dew
elopment Association has been def
nitely set for January 1916, 1919,
it having been decided by the Elk
ecutive Committee to put the
convention over from the original
date, November 1921 to this time.
This action was taken after con-
sultation with the State Board of
Health and to avoid any possibility
of its being interfered with by the
epidemic of influenza now prevailing
in Minnesota.
The Secretary, Fred T. Lincoln of
Brainerd, has been fortunate in Sc
curing Mr.. Roger M. Andrews of
Menominee, Michigan in addition to
the regular program, recently pub
ished. Mr.. Andrews will discuss,
"Sheep for Northern Minnesota"
and is recognized as one of the best
posted men in the country on the
subject. He is the publisher Of the
Clover-Land magazine, devoted to
the agricultural interests Of the Up
per Peninsula df Michigan. He has
been very successful in encouraging
farmers and others to import sheep
into his section Of the country and
will give first hand information on
the subject. In view Of the fact that
this has been one of the important
features of the Northern Minnesota
Development Association conventions
for the last three years, it is felt
that the organization has been very
fortunate in securing one who is rec
ognized as authority on the subject
to speak at the coming convention.
Mr.. Andrews, in letter to Secretary
Lincoln, referring to the possibilities
for the sheep industry in this section
writes:
"He must be dull indeed who can
not see the opportunities lying here
for the use and development of that
great and fertile grass belt which has
been so well named Clover-Land.
Geographically it begins in the fif-
teen counties Of the Upper Peninsula
of Michigan and extends westward
across Northern Wisconsin and far
into the green fields of Minnesota.
This description Of the Clover Land
belt is not the opinion Of a local en-
thusiast, but is the conclusion which
has been arrived at officially by the
experts of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, after an ex-
haustive examination of the land in
question, and which is confirmed by
the leading cattle men and sheep men
in the country"
Settlers and others interested
in the development of North
ern Minnesota should not fail to at
tend the coming convention of the
Northern Minnesota Development
Association, if for only this one big
feature alone, as it is believed it will
do much to encourage sheep grow
ing in this section of the state and
afford practical information from a
leader in this industry in territory
almost identical with ours in quality
and quantity Of forage afforded and
with the same drawbacks, if any exist
to contend with.

RECOMMEND
VACCINATION.
OPINION OF A NOTED MAN ON
VACCINATION.

Drs. Burns & Christensen of Two
Harbors have sent out letters to the
people along the line of the Duluth
& Iron Range which reads as follows:
November 9th, 1918.
The following is an opinion of DR..
W. A. Evans, Of Chicago, formerly
Chicago Health Commissioner and
head of the Pathological Department
at the College of Physicians and Sur
geons. He is the Health Expert of
the Chicago Tribune, "The Worlds
Greatest Newspaper. He is one of
the leading members of the Influenza
Commission for the State of Illinois
and there is probably nobody in the
United States in better position to
speak in regard to this matter Of the
preventative vaccine. He says in
the Chicago Tribune, November 9Th
'.If the people will be vaccinated,
the probability seems that the disease
will decline more rapidly than it 9th
erwise would do, and it may be less
prevalent a month from now than it
otherwise would be. Vaccinated
people should be free from danger of
having the disease if they have not
had it, and those having had it would
be free from danger Of recurrence.
The Rosenow vaccine contains pro-
tective elements against pneumonia.
Experience among diamond miners
in South Africa has proven the eff
cacy Of vaccination against pneu-
monia. The vaccinated persons seem
to be immune for about eight months.
In so far as these experiences can
be applied to the situation, they indi-
cate that the people vaccinated with
the Rosenow vaccine will be less sus-
ceptible to pneumonia during this
winter. The evidence. of the eff
cheney of the treatment is this: On
October goth, about half of the pop
ulation Of town Of 10000, had been
vaccinated at least in part. There
have been seven deaths from infiuen-
"a and less than 200 cases Of the dis
ease. All the cases were among the
un-vaccinated people. In a nearby
town with 400 inhabitants, there
have been 200 cases and Is deaths.
In the Asylum, three cases developed.
Everybody was vaccinated and the
disease did not spread. In st. Mary's

the love of God, born of sacrifice,

eice Of divinity. For in the sight OF
God she has become one Of the saints
Of the ages. In the thought Of men,

our nation, she has become Mother
Of this Republic.

rho president announced on Tues

above 3.25c for their product by the

their main raw materials
In the same connection some of the
largest of the self contained steel
companies expressed a willingness 70
sell ingots Or slabs to the smaller
plate producers at special prices so
that the latter might continue to roll
plates and make q, fair profit.
Scant consideration was given to
tlle request or the steel 1nanufac-
turers that in the interest of the whole
trade, including consumers, the prices
liked be given a life of six months or
more. The War Industries board
frankly favors lower prices, and it is
understood that only the wretched
showings Of January and February
saved the schedule from general re-
tuction at this time.
The old material trade, which has
been in a turbulent state since gov
eminent control began, is further up
set by the reduction so easily put
through at last weeks conference. in
which scrap dealers were unrepre-
scented. The proposal so long and
strongly urged that buyers of scrap
be allowed to pay dealers 3 IL per
cent. commission seems to have been
jostled aside by the main issues.
The Washington meeting only
added to the quietness that has been
noted in the market throughout the
month. The uncertainty as to the
amount of steel war demands will
leave for general consumption has
changed into uncertainty as to the
amount of ordinary business that will
remain to make demands upon the
steel mills.

The plan of operation is contained in

Fire prevention is the principal
object of this branch of service, but
in the course of inspection matters

encountered and are subjects which
public welfare requires shall be noted
and reported to departments having
proper authority to remedy.

districts the chief consid Grafton will

The inspection captain is required
| to keep a record Of all inspections and
| conditions found, in books and on
forms as provided.
Building inspection for fire haz-

owes himself and family as we'll as his
associates. If men allow improper and
unsafe conditions to exist through
needless performance Of this duty
they may jeopardize their own lives,
