KEEP COOL AND KEEP WELL

The following may be little
out of date, so far as this locality
is concernd, but its ideas are so
we'll put that we think it worth
copying. Many people nowadays
live an artificial life, and that is
one reason why they arc not able
to stand the rigors of cold weather
for instance, over heated houses,
and the wearing of furs and heavy
clothing WHILE az WORK be-
fore snow comes.
'.At its worst. any epidemic takes
but relatively small toll of the
population, and as a rule the ma
jority of people are resistant to the
assaults of the worst disease
germs, including influenza, if thev
but take ordinary care of them
selves. This is important. What
ever medical science may advise as
to prevention, or as to treatment,
one simple fact that outweiehs
everything else is that if every
individual will but follow the
normal life he has led, eat land
drink those things that are suited
to his system, things that he has
always eaten with resulting good
health, rest and sleep as usual, and
avoid overfatigue while carrying
on his work. also as usual, he will
escape the pestilence.
''There is no excuse for any
panic. Above all. the individual
should remember that the first and
last rule to follow in this state of
things is to keep cool and keep
we'll. For the man who will keep
copl will keep we'll. and the man
who keeps cool and has all his fac
ulties about him will keep cool.
''This is no time for official or
individual or collective hysteria.

He Wants it For.

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 81. A. Nc
Govern, state mill and elevator asso-
citation manager, has filed with the
state auditor a voucher requisition for
$4,000 of the state mill and elevator
fund. which Mi. McGovern asks paid
over in a lump sum-. His voucher,
lated October 8, reads:
Under Section 9 of s. Is. 20, en-
acted by the 18th legislative assembly,
am presenting this voucher for
$4,000"
State Auditor Kositzky. who has
been criticizing some of Mr.. Nc
Governs expense items, has informed
the mill and elevator manager that
state funds can constitutionally be
paid out only upon itemized vouchers,
and he has refused to draw the war
rant OF $4,000 until Mr.. McGovern
explains what he expects to do with it.
The only purpose for which, such
a large sum could be used would" be
the purchase of the experimental mill
at Drake" said Mr.. Kositzky. 1.-THE
state, as I understand 1t, is paying but
$4,000 for this mill, and the citizens
of Drake have already subscribed for

Utility Company At
Minot Would Annul
Contract With City

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. s.--The state
railway commission is called upon by
the Northern State4 Power Co. to de-
termine whether the state has any
right, under the new public utility act
Of the last assembly, to interfere with
a contract between a public utility
company and a municipal corporation.
In May, 1915, the Northern States co.
entered into a five years contract with
the city of Minot to supply service at
certain rates. Last December the
company gave notice Of a ten per cent
increase effective in January to be
followed by another ten per CEN boost
in July. The city appealed to the
courts to enforce it's contract, and the
lease was carried by the Northern
States Power Co., an Illinois corpora
ton, into the United States district
court, where Judge G. +. Anidon held
the contract of 1915 effective until
May, 1920, knocked out both in
creases, and restored the rates upon
which the contract of May, 1915, was
based. The Northern States appeals
from this decision to the public utili-
ties commission, which is the rail
board. The cas- was argued on be-
half Of Minot by City Attorney G. F.
Wooledge. The commission expects
to announce it's decision this week.

County Auditors Say
Tax Man Is Too Slow

auditors the state over are complain
ing to the state auditor'S Office that
changes in the assessed valuations Of
their respective counties, as made by
the state board Of equalization, have
not been certified out to them, al
though their annual assessments are
almost a month overdue. Under the
old system, when this detail was
handled by the state auditors office,
the valuations as adjusted by the state
board of equalization were certified
out in August. This duty was assign
ed to the state tax commission by the
last assembly, and the membership of
this commission was reduced from
three to one. This is considered one
of the reasons for the present delay,
and there is much adverse comment
on the part of the county auditors.

WHISPERING w


By DIR. BerthoId A. Baer;s
Whispering roses, murmuring vioets, praiseng chry-
s%anthmums, and many-chiming fall fowers-what won
derful symphony, if flowers could only talk?
Did you ever realize that whenever you enter a room
where there are flowers, your eyes are at once attracted
by them? You fail to notice the faded furniture, if such
be there, OF the rich tapestry, should such prevail. The
greeting of a single flower brings sunshine to your heart,
brings the loveight of good fellowship to your eye.
GAS music creates forgetfulness, as love drives away
hatred, so do flowers open the heart of all who are heavy
laden as we'll as Of those who are glad. Look around;
fresh flowers everywhere, said MI. Walker. Don't you
love them p
II certainly do" said I.
And there I stood in the most beautiful Floral Store
in the Northwest, known as K MINOT
located at Minot, N. D.. They were
shipping flowers to all points of North Dakota and
Montana, and also had an order going to Canada.
If flowers could only talk what wonderful tales they
would probably tell of tears OF joy and tears of sorrow,
of hearts made glad and burdens lightened. The next
time you want flowers for any occasion just write, tele-
graph or Flowerphone one thousand, Minot, and they
will give you
