HAULING CROPS TO MARKET

How far must the average farmer

The investigation shows that Il re-
Quires about half a day for the aver
age farmer to make round trip to
market, and about two-thirds of day
on the average for the farmers farth-
est from market to make a similar
trip. That market distances are grow
ing shorter is shown by the fact that
in 1906 it required almost % per cent
more time for the average round trip.
one reason for the improved condi'
tins, 1t is pointed out, is that since
1906 the steam railroad mileage In

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beau-
tiful. glossy. silky hair. do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it If you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then o destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces Of
ordinary liquid arvon apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
BY morning, most If, not all, Of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of 1t.
You will find. too, hat all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. 1t is
inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple
remedy never fails.

A GUARANTEE OF GOOD FAITH

The good faith of any discussion would manifestly
depend upon the consent of the Central Powers immedi-
ately to withdraw their forces everywhere from invaded
territory" sc
This is one of the sharp points with which the note
of inquiry addressed by the president to the German gov.
eminent fairly bristles. Before there can be anything in
the nature of a cessation of hostilities the Central Powers
must withdraw their forces from France, from Belgium,
from Italy, from Russia, from Serbia, from every inch OF
territory outside CT their own properly constituted domin-
ions. And they must do this, not as an act of closing the
war and settling the issues which have been involved in
it, but as a guarantee that they accept in good faith the
conditions of peace which have already been stated, and
that discussions shall not relate to the subject matter of
those principles, but shall merely be to arrange the de-
tails for carrying them into effect. 1t is a large order, bu,
the president makes it very clear that nothing else will
do.
The presidents note is described, not as a reply. but
as an inquiry, addressed to Germany for the purpose of
ascertaining her exact meaning in making the nronosal
for an armisuce. 1t is an inquiry. but in the inquiry there
is also contained a reply, pointed and definite. The note
asks questions. 1t also conveys information. On reading
it Germany will learn that she no longer occupies the DO
sition which she once held, as a nation in good standing
with others. to be treated on a basis of equality with them,
and with her honesty of purpose to be taken for granted.
On the contrary, she stands disgraced and discredi,-d,
with suspicion surrounding her every movement. This
fact the president is at no pains to disguise. Germany is
warned that her acceptance of the essential conditions of
peace must be stated in terms more explicit than she has
yet used, and that even then she will be required to dem
onstrate her good faith by her own acts.
The message is a notification to Germany that she is
not to be considered a party to a conference at which
terms OF peace are to be arranged, but that when she OBJ
tains peace it will be on terms stipulated by the Allies.

THE INFLUENZA WAVE

u Pursuant to orders issued by the authorities, all pub
lie meetings in the city OF Grand Forks will be postponed
until the influenza epidemic which has the country in its
grip has subsidized. Theaters and schools will remain
closed, and every effort will be made to prevent the as
semblins of people in large groups.
The conditions seem fully to warrant this order, ana
1t is the business Of every citizen to see that he or she car
ries out its spirit.
A large part OF the effort Of the authorities will be
rendered fruitless If individuals themselves do not take
proper precautions Public gatherings have been prohib-
tied, and these can be prevented. But there are gather
ings Of a semi-private character which cannot be con-
trolled by officials, and which may be as injurious as
those of the most public character. These come within
the scope of individual control.
The first requisite, as all authorities are agreed, IL
observance Of the ordinary rules Of health. Proper atten-
ton must be paid to matters of food and clothing, exer-
else and fresh air. and to the avoidance of undue expos
ure. These are merely common sense precautions which
every intelligent person will at once understand to be
necessary. As to the rest, it is obvious that avoidance Of
unnecessary mingling with other people is not only a mat
ter of personal prudence, but is q duty which the individ-
ual owes to the public. Let every person attend to his
duties as quietly as possible. remain at home as much as
he can, and see that his children, if he has any, do like
wise. ST r
There is no occasion for excitement or anything ap-
preaching panic. The disease is sweeping across the
country, and it claims many thousands of victims. But
its virulence' has been greatly exaggerated in the public
mind. 1t attacks suddenly, and those affected are apt to
be seriously Frustrated. There is a tendency toward a de-
velopment of pneumonia, which is always a grave thing.
But If one will take the trouble to inspect the dispatches
on the subject he will find that both in the country at
large and in separate localities. the percentage of deaths
has been low. running apparently from two to three per
cent Of the cases. There is, also. hopefulness in the dis
patches from the eastern part of the continent, where the
disease first made it's appearance on this hemisphere.
These dispatches indicate that in the east the crest of the
wave has passed, and it is to be expected that within a
very short time the critical period will be over. In the
meantime, let us use prudence and common sense, call
the doctor at the first appearance Of suspicious condi-
tons, and make his job as easy as we can.

sional elections which are to be held a month hence.

as the election itself would be,

Practice it is a very unusual thing for a parliament to

!, elastic ana an election can be ordered at any time, and
eiecuons are held in Great Britain at much shorter in
tervais than seven years. But in the present case the

the duration Of the parliament, and the ordinary ner,od
has now been exceeded by more than a year.
