ported as severely wounded in bat
tie. According to a recent letter
from the wounded man:
We were 'mopping up German
trenches and ran across some stub
born Boche machine gunners in a
dugout. In driving them out I was
hit in the thigh with revolver bull
let. The bullet missed the bone and
was inbedded in the flesh so that
1t had to be extracted. 1t was the
result of the extracting process that
laid me up so long. l was classed as
walking wounded'-able to get
around and help myself-so was
sent to hospital far in rear of lines
where only about IS similar cases
were cared for, an aviation camp
hospital.
There are no deaths among North
Dakota men reported in today's
casualty lists, although five men
from this state are included in the
lists.
The names of Privates Gilmore L.

fargo is SAVING
so LIVES A YEAR
With INTENSIVE
HEALTHCANP Align :.
So Says Board Secretary,
Advising Greater State
Aid For Work

Intensive health work in Fargo and
Grand Forks has reduced the actual
number Of deaths in these two cities
below the total number in each city
five years ago. despite the fact that
both cities have greater popula-
ton, according to The Pennant, Of
fetal publication Of the North Da-
kota Anti Tuberculosis association.
To Fargo, intensive health work
has been the means of saving so
lives a year; to Grand Forks, it has
meant a saving of 40 lives a year,
according to the publication, which
bases its statement on the vital sta
tistiCs Of the two cities.
The Pennant quotes DR.. c.. J. Nc
Gurren of Devils Lake, as chairman
Of the public health committee of
the North Dakota Medical associa-
ton as authority for the decreased
death rate in North Dakota's two
largest cities. He fixes the death
rate in Fargo at 11.2 per 1000 popu-
lation. and of Grand Forks 1915 per
1000 population, showing a decrease
of Il per- cent and % per cent re-
spectively from the 1912 rates.
The reduction of death rate Of
Fargo in the last five years means
a saving in that city Of so lives a
y
McGurren's report. I'm Grand Forks
the saving amounts to 40 lives a
Year AS a matter of fact, notwith-
standing the increase in population,
there were fewer deaths in Grand
Forks in the year 1917 than there
were in 1912. In the latter year
there were 1913 deaths. and in 1917,
only lat.
What has been done in the way
of reducing the death rate in the
two largest cities of the state can
be done in all of them, and, consid-
ering the present Importance Of con-
serving the manpower of the nation,
your committee would recommend
that the state public health authori-
ties report to the state council of
defense that in all cities having a
death rate Of over Is per 1000 popu-
lation per annum, inquiry be made
as to the cause Of the excessive NOR
tality.
I'm no way can more effective aid
and comfort be given to the enemy
than by the reckless destruction Of
human life. especially of the younger
generation, who have to take the
place of those who cheerfully offer
themselves as sacrifices that our
lives and liberties may be protected.
"In view of the fact that co-ordi-
nation in health activities in the
state is necessary for the establish
ment Of an efficient public health

AS Good a Crop as Northwest Has.
EUer Produced, NoU Harvested" Is
Report Of Federal Reserve Agent

The monthly report of crop and
business conditions in the Ninth
Federal Reserve district, by John H.
Rich, federal reserve agent, follows
in part;
AS good a grain crop as the
northwestern states have ever pro-
duced has been Safely harvested,
and the way is now clear for the
gathering Of a record corn crop.
Throughout the eastern half of the
district, the corn harvest promises
to be very large. The quality is high
and August weather. although 1t
brought a great deal of rain, was, as
A whole, favorable to the prompt
maturity Of this important cereal.
Some reports have already been
received from seed samples of
Argentine, Northwestern dent ana
Miner varieties of corn distributed
for test purposes by the Federal
Reserve bank in the spring. Pre-
liminary reports give reason to be-
lieye that. the Argentine variety may
have a permanent usefulness in
these states. One test plot showed
corn that was fully matured and
harvested on August IL, or fully 80
days ahead OF the earliest killing
frost on record in the eastern half
of the district. Other samples are
reported as fully matured and ready
to cut during the latter half Of the
month. ~
THE earliest killing frost since
1898 occurred on September 10, 1902.
In the fall Of 1888 there were kill
ing frosts at st. Vincent and Moor
head on September 8, with a light
frost the same date in st. Paul and
Minneapolis.
THE satisfactory progress Of the
corn crop is more than usually inn
portant. 1t has removed any danger
Of further seed shortage next
spring. Farmers are already talk
ing steps to select matured ears and
put them in safe storage. The sub
stantial supply of good seed which is
now available will probably result
in a large acreage in corn next year.
The current crop is unusual, not
only for it's uniformly good quality,
but for the satisfactory acreage that
will be harvested in the face Of the
