rendering the French soldiers.

The American Red Cross has recent
ly started a unique attack upon trench
fever--one of the most formidable
enemies confronting the armies fight
ing in France, and a disease unknown
before the present war-according to
a cablegram received at national
headquarters.
As mosquitoes were suspected to be
the carriers of yellow fever germs
Immediately after the Spanish war
so lice are now the suspected carriers
of trench fever germs, and the plar
of campaign against this disease is
very SIMILAR to that employed against
yellow fever in Cuba.
The American Red Cross has sci
aside the necessary sum for conduct
ing the scientific work in studying
this disease. All the enlisted mer
of the Santiry Corps who heard tht
call for volunteers offered themselves
as subjects for experiment. Sixty
New England men were selected. They
are now quartered at the hospita
which the British army undertook tt
supply as a base for the work.
Trench fever is not fatal in it's eff
fects and cause no permanent disabil,
tiles, but it's effect upon the fighting
power of an army is whitening and, O.
course, the disease involves great dis
comfort to the men while it is in pro
greSS.

appointed and each speaker was al
lowed to hold the floor as long as he

AGRICULTURAL SHORT
COURSE AT SCHOOL
OF FORESTRY

Last week the short course in agri-
culture was given at the State School
Of Agriculture and Forestry. The at
tendance the first part of the week
was small, but the last part Of the
week made up for it. The program
was given practically as published last
week, except that some of the speak
ers were unable to give their address,
es. Mr.. Willard Of Minot appeared
on Thursday evening, and gave a very
interesting talk IN the past history
of Bottineau county, and at the same
time prophesized a bright future for
the county. Thursday morning and
afternoon were taken up with demon
STATIONS on wheat and meat substi-
tutes by Mrs. Agnes Blanche john
son of Park River. Mrs. Johnson's
work was very interesting and bene-
fetal to the good attendance that she
had.
Friday afternoon was given over to
to the Red Cross, and was a big sue
cess. The quantity of articles made
by Bottineau county since March Is
was a great surprise to the people who
have not been in direct touch with
Red Cross work. The class in band
age making gave a demonstration
that showed just what bandages were
being made, and how they were con-
structed.
A number of articles contributed by
the people of Bottineau were sold for
$1O6.55. Many of the articles were
afterwards turned in to be sold at a
later auction.
On Friday evening President Smith
presented diplomas to the first stu
dents to graduate from the three year
strictly forestry course These are
Gilbert Engen Of Finley, N. D., Car
thon Petrie Of Plymouth, Wis, and
Isaac N. Bacon of Bottineau, who is
now in France, with the colors.
After this the three act play "What
Happened to Jones" was given by the
students of the school and this play
was a very great success. Mr.. Beech
er Stair as Jones, presented the char
acter of the quick-witted, talkative
salesman, very effectively. Mr.. Will
liam Hagen, as Ebenezer Goodly was
a very good character, Amelia Lii
lestrand as Helma as the Swedish
servant was all that could be desired
in her part, and Frances Collins as
Elvina Starlight, the old maid sweet
heart of Reverend Anthony Goodly
was a scream. The other students
were also we'll suited to their several
parts, and on the whole the play was
a distinct success, for which Miss
johnson, under whose direction it
was given deserves credit.
