HIGH SCHOOL
AID RECEIVED
Warrants Are Sent About
Eight Months Sooner
Than Usual.

Warrants for high school aid for
the year 191s-1919 for Grand Forks
county were received today by treas
urers of the various districts in the
county. The warrants arrived this
year about eight months sooner than
usual as they would not usually be
available until the following March.
These warrants are sent out direct
from Bismarck and no record of the
amount received by the county is OBJ
tainable here.
In letter accompanying the war
rants, Miss Minnie Nelson. superin-
tendent of public instruction, stated
that the appropriation for high school
aid has not been increased for six
years and as more schools have con-
stantly been coming in on the list, it
has not been possible for some time to
receive the full amount of aid.
The amount Of aid this year is a
trifle more than year ago and re-
ceiving it several months sooner than
usual will help a great deal.

CITY PROTECTS
BANK OF RIVER
Rip Rap Being Deposited at
End of Waterworks
Intake Dam.

Measures are being taken by the
city of Grand Forks to prevent the
cutting away of the. Minnesota Point
bank of the Red Lake river at the in
take dam of the city pumping station.
The high water which has been pre-
valent in the Red Lake river has
eroded the bank to a considerable ex-
tent at the end of the dam. To meet
this difficulty rip-rap stone is being
deposited at the threatened point in
large quantities.
The same difficulty was experienced
at the north end of the dam last year,
and it was only after strenuous efforts
that the dam was saved.
This year however the work is be-
ing undertaken before the situation
grows so serious. and there is no dan
ger of any serious trouble, c. S. Giles,
city engineer, said today.

MARRIAGE BANNS
ARE ADVOCATED BY 4.
MINN. PROFESSOR

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 26.-Gen-
eral publication Of marriage banns
ten days before the ceremony, is ad-
vocated by DR.. "A. J. Todd. professor
nesota, in the bulletin Of the Asso-
ciated Charities.
81, counsel a decent delay in con-
tracing marriage" said DR.. Todd. II
want people to get accustomed to each
other before they marry. l would like
to have a law requiring at least ten
days to expire between the application
for q marriage license and the issuing
OF it. In other words. am in favor
custom of publishing the banns."
State Recognizes Common Law Rites.
The bulletin is devoted to a discus
sion of the marriage and divorce prob
lem. The resume shows that in Min
nesota common law marriages are
recognized; that the marriageable age
Of males is 1s and females Is years;
that no provisions are made for ad-
vance notices. and that :. the state
makes no provision for registration
Of marriages.
Much of the discussion on marriage
laws was prompted by a case recently
coming to the attention of the agents
of the Associated Charities Of Minne-
apolis In that instance a 13-year
girl was married, although three So
cial agencies were working to prevent
it.
The girl. under charge Of the juven-
lie court. was taken in charge by the
mother and the mother contended
the girl was more than 16 years old,
thus obtaining a marriage license for
her and marrying her to man. The
inference is drawn that if the appli-
cation had been published, the social
agencies could have prevented what
they term an ill-advised marriage.
Common law marriages are valid
in 26 states, invalid in II and OF
doubtful status in six. Notice of in
tention to marry is required in only
eight states Registration Of mar.
riages is not required in 20 states.
