e.Neurope stamps,

On the day the Peace Treaty was
signed, President Wilson said that the
Treaty 'Hberates great peoples who
have never before been able to find
the way to liberty" These great peo-
pies have organized political govern
ments during the period of recon
struction, and these governments are
being called collectively "Neurope'
by collectors. These new nations have
thus far issued more than 700. varie-
ties of stamps, some of which are al
ready worth several hundred dollars
each for the reason that they were in
circulation only a brief time, and be-
cause also only limited quantities of
them were printed pending the ap-
pearance of def1nitive or permanent
labels. Generally speaking, these New
Europe stamps fall within the wal
stamp classification. as the war was

The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1919-09-25
SAYS MOUSE RIVER is OPEN
CESS POOL OF FILTH
Chas. X. Allen, Deputy State Health
Officer, Figures that rs Tons of
Human Excretia are Dumped
into River Each Day.

The Mouse river, which circles the
hills around and winds into the city of
Minot is one Of the natural resources
of the Magic City and it should be
made to pay dividends to the city, add
ing to it's natural beauty and it's pleas
ure, whereas now, it is an open cess
pool of filth, threatening the lives of
the people. The Mouse river sewage
pollution not only endangers the lives
Of this city's populace but the lives of
those on the outskirts of the city and
for many miles along the banks of the
river to the small towns to the south.
Remembering the old rule of law
that a Riparian owner is entitled to
receive from his upstream neighbor
stream-foW undiminished in quanti-
ty or quality, the question presents it.
self: Should the amount Of river pol
luton by Minot sewage now existing
be permitted to continue? This ques-
ton is very vexed one and has been
answered in many ways. There are
extreme partisans on each side of this
question. Our river here in question
is not very large, but the volume of
sewage dumped into it is very large
in comparison.
By sewage is meant the liquid and
solid excreta from animals and human
beings. The manure and excreta from
horses is part of street refuse, al
though large part Of the same gets
into the sewers from the modern horse
and cow stables Of our city. Accord
ing to statistics, an average human
person voids about forty ounces of
liquid and three ounces Of solid ex-
nfo, law - III -
excreta. The estimated population of
the city Of Minot is $4,000 persons and
| will estimate the total excreta from
the people of Minot to be 100000
ounces or 50,166 pounds per day.
Think of this amount of human ex-
creta being dumped into the Mouse
river at point within throwing dis
lance Of the city's beautiful municipal
park, the Riverside Park.
A river should be considered as
draining country rather than wat
ering it, but nevertheless, an up
stream community such as Minot
should not grossly misuse such drain
as the Mouse river as to make it a
nuisance and render it difficult or i'm
possible for the downstream towns
or the farmers along the river to use
the waters for any purpose whatso-
ever.
The farmer living along the Mouse
river below Minot is compelled, by
this sewage pollution, to keep his
dairy cattle away from the river by
reason Of the foul filth sticking to the
TANKS and udders of the cows. This
filth can be carried to the cow sta
bles wherein it becomes source of
contamination for the milk and cream
supply of the city of Minot. The
farmer, bringing in contaminated milk

Minot' Advertising Men at New
Orleans.

The Independent received card
this morning from James R. Falconer,
advertising manager for this publica-
ton, who is attending the convention
Of the Associated Advertising Clubs of
the World at New Orleans. He ar
rived there Sunday and was met by
W. F. Jones, president Of the Town
Criers Club, the other delegate from
the club. The only other North Da-
kotan attending the convention is Mr..
Pollack Of Fargo. Concerning New

or. cream is liable to q fine Of no small
amount, regulated by the Minot city
ordinance. This milk may not be de-
tected until after it's arrival and dis
tribution within the city, thereby
causing an epidemic Of disease spread
ing all along this milk route and
thence to wider circle in the city
before the discovery of the source Of
the spread of the disease. In this
manner complete cycle of infection
may take place increasing with each
revolution of that cycle, by the fol-
lowing means:
1.-The infection of a single person.
2-The infected excreta voided by
that patient, passing into the city
sewage system and to the river.
3-Infected filth sticking to cows
wading in the river and falling into
the milk.
INFECTED milk distributed and
used by Minot's people.
Minot's people being infected,
voiding excreta into the sewers, etc.,
thus completing the cycle Of infection
to the people Of Minot by contamina-
ton with sewage from themselves.
The very place which should add to
the attractiveness of the city detracts
from it. A river which should be
known as one IF the attractions of the
city is now known as source of pol
luton and danger, thing to be avoid
ed. If Minot is to become a modern
city, it must adopt modern means of
protecting the public health of every
citizen, of adding to the attractive
ness of it's public places for the COM
mon benefit Of all citizens. 1t cannot
tolerate such a sinkhole of filth and
source of contagion in it's midst.
The State Of North Dakota provides
in it's political code, Section 3704, of
the state laws, that city can proceed,
by special assessment, with the con-
struction or alterations of sewer work
without a period Of protest as is re-
quired in the construction of other
public works. In event of failure of
the city to rectify public nuisance
or menace to the public health, the
State Board Of Health can proceed
with demands for the construction of
any said work, through the legal chan
nels of the state. This work can be
carried on by special assessment
against the property within the city.
The need Of the proposed sewage
disposal system is evident in the city
of Minot and to safeguard the health
Of the public, it should be carried
through.

HAVE WE LEARNED?

The old conditions of prewar days
are slowly coming back. After July
We can again send a letter for 2
cents, and We are now hearing au-
thoritative reports that soon we can
buy loaf Of bread for cents. Does
this mean that we will save cents
on every loaf of bread we buy and 1
cent on every letter that we mail; or
does it mean that we will spend that
much extra money for luxuries?
One of the benefits hoped for from
the war was the formation, among
the American people, of the habit of
thrift Has that habit been formed,
or did the war end too soon for us
to learn our lesson? We had been
called the most extravagant nation in

THE OPEN COLUMN
What About Baseball!

Editor the Missourian: Is Missouri
going to be without a baseball team
this year? Is the diamond to be de.
serted and overgrown with weeds, anG
the lovers of the national game to be
without their favorite sport?
Baseball is needed to keep up school
spirit near the end of the term. The
Valley has decided that intercollegiate
baseball is to be abandoned this year
But the fan finds it hard to think of
spring passing without some baseball
games.
The expense is the main objection,
it seems. But baseball is not so ex-
pensive as football and track, and
good crowds turn out when a game is
scheduled for Rollins Field. Then,
the team could continue to play dur
ing the summer, as school will be in
session then.
Isn't it worth a try?-R. G.

FOR A BETTER COLUMBIA

"A visiting nurse in every COM
munity" is the slogan of Surgeon-Gen-
eral Blue of the United States Public
Health Service. Columbia has a Wis
iting nurse maintained by the Colum-
bia Charity Organization Society.
But the visiting nurse cannot do her
most efficient work unless there is a
hospital behind her, one to which she
can send patients who cannot be cared
for properly in their homes.
We all want Columbia to lead any
town of its size in the country. We
have mayor who supports the coun-
ty hospital plan. Let's give him our
full support, and the result will be an
up-to-date, efficient, live-saving hos
pital for Boone County.

THE NEW BOOKS
"The Bargain True.

Dale Adds, in smoky chiffon, laces
and turquoise, set in a frame of fow-
ers, music, tapestries of the East, old
china and rare paintings, is an ire
sistible. beautiful and realistic pic
ture. Yet girl of the earth, earthly, is
portrayed.
Reared and trained to observe all
the points of propriety in good So
ciety, Dale comes home from the con-
vent and at once declares herself a
"bolter." Naturally she wants
friends and society, and society and
friends she must have and does have,
though she makes her debut in rath-
er novelistic manner.
She does not have the many friends
she planned, but finds one faithful and
true blue, with whom she holds a
bargain true. Though temptation
comes in its most sinister form, Dale
breaks the shackles, throws them off
and finally responds to the call of
youth.
The story is well and prettily writ
ten. 1t is book that makes persons
feel they have been drawn nearer the
problems of human nature and have
met two strong personalities who have
overcome inherited wrongs and estab-
lished themselves firmly on the foun-
datiOns of right.

warm the soul, as well as those that
comfort the body" said the Rev. Madi-
son A. Hart, pastor of the Christian
Church, in his Sunday morning ser

try's greatest architects recently de-
clared that the modern hospitals were
saving people from disease and killing
them with inconsistencies, because the
institutions lack a home-like atmos-
phere.

THE LEAGUE

against the type and technical con-
struction of battleships which experts
in the employ of the United States
were planning to build, winding up
with the request that the paper
Jump in and show them up"
The editor calmly replied that since
his paper was published about as far
from the sea as it was possible to get,
and since few of his molders of opin-
ion had ever seen battleship, he pre-
ferred to leave the questions of bat
tleships alone for the present and
trust to the judgment of experts.
When these technical experts had
threshed out the problem of battle
ship construction and came to the ad-
ministration with some concrete pro-
gram for battleship construction, then.
