War Savings Stamp sales today
passed fifty million dollar mark and
sales have been running at the rate
of more than two million a day. The
steadily growing volume Of savings
placed at the service of the nation by
millions of citizens is splendid evil
dence of your effective work. "Busi-
ness as usual" is a wholly wrong the
DRY in war time. 1t is only by teach
ing the people to save inc not to com
pete for labor and materials with the
government that we can put the whole
strength of the nation into this war.
This is not only our most important:
contribution to the war but it is sure.
way to raise the required money. In
the next few weeks we and our entire
organization of nearly two hundred
thousand workers must make it our
common purpose and resolve to spread
this gospel SO that there will be a

Today by Hardware
Dealers at Convention
Here.

The morning session of the North
Dakota Retail Hardware. association
convention, in the council chambers
of the city hall, was"taken up partly
with a continuation Of III discussion
Of :sRetail Trade Survey" a topic on
which M. D.. Hussie of Omaha, ,Neb.,
addressed the convention, yesterday.

the retail dealers, generally.

spector, presenting in a concise form
the federal income tax law, which
went into effect January / of this
year, explaining thoroughly the scope
Of this law, something of which but
comparatively few people have had
a clear understanding.
Alex. Carr Speaks.
Preceding Mr.. Weddell's address,
Alexander Carr. editor of the Com
smunity Life magazine, published at
Jamestown, N. D., who is touring the
country in the interests of the North
Dakota Retail Merchants association,
and conducting a vigorous campaign
against, mail-order house buying, de-
uvered an instructive address on that
topic. ~
Mr.. Carr declared that "the menace
to the retail trade OF this state is the
mail order houses" and urged the
necessity for advertising. by. the. re-
tail dealers. in their local papers,
something he said to which their best
attention should be given.
Merchants" he continued, who
do not conduct a systematic advertis-
ing campaign the year round. to Off
set the menace of the mail order
houses, are losing money"
Advertise everything o carry"
he said. mot. only in one ad-but a
few articles each week or day. Don't
be- Stacker in the advertising game"
The retail merchants, were urged by.
Mr.. Carr to use every influence. to
prevent the repeal of the new zone
second-class. postage law which goes
into effect in June. which will have a
tendency to shut out the great deluge
of mail order advertising which is
/! pouring into every home.
At a luncheon given in h Com
mercial club rooms. this afternoon,
MIR. Carr spoke along the same lines.
The feature of the afternoon session
Of the convention which began at 1880

city that only the best man available
would be good enough for Grand
Forks. The name of the city was to
be put upon the map, musically, and
for that reason it was necessary to
proceed carefully and thoroughly.
Whenever there was a possibility that
an applicant might be considered ac-
ceptable, additional Investigations
were carried on and finally by a proc
ess of elimination, the committee
narrowed the list of candidates down
to a very few. BY a further process
all were eliminated with the excep-
tion of Prof. Paul. who was then
asked to come to this city for a con-
ference with the committee.
Mr.. Paul arrived last week and will

CONTINUE TO DEVELOP
BUT NO DEATHS
HAVE OCCURRED

No official information as to the
status of the influenza epidemic is
here being so overwhelmed with
available being so overwhelmed with
work that they have been unable to
make any report. 1t is presumed
that about the same ratio of new
cases as for some days past--from
70 to 25-has been maintained. There
have been no deaths since the out
break of the disease except that Of
one child and one colored man, but
there are several cases where the pa
tents are very i'll. In general, there
lore, it may be said that there is no
material change in the situation.
1t has been decided to keep the
schools closed another week, and
presumably the same rule will apply
to all other gatherings,
The scarcity OF physicians and
nurses is the greatest handicap in
fighting the disease. Two of the lead
ing practitioners are out of the State,
and the war has claimed several Of
our doctors. Hence those who re-
main are worked to death trying to
cope with the trying and serious CON
alton.
Calls for volunteer nurses are meet
ing a noble response, some Ct the
most prominent society young ladies
working with admirable pluck and
bravery to bring relief to the suffer
ers. We are asked to caution all
those who come in contact with pa
tients to secure influenza masks
which are being prepared by Red
Cross workers, and which can be
procured by applying to Mrs. Guy
