mass of broken and split board and
damned quite across the narrow pas

GOOD WAY TO G

There can be no better way for the
Grand Forks resident to begin the
New Year. than by making such con-
tribution as his sympathy will prompt
and his means permit towards the re-
lief of the starving children in central
Europe.
More than ten million children in
a vast territory which was impover-
ished by the war r destitute, and
more than three million are now actu-
ally starving. Relief must be given
them soon or it will be too late.
Because of the crying need and the
urgency of the situation, the organi-
zation of relief work was placed in the
hands of the mar who has proven
himself the most successful organizer
of such work in the world, Herbert
Hoover. Aided by the g%ratuitous as
s%istance Of thousands of others, Mr..
Hoover mas set in motion a work
which will result in saving the lives
of a large proportion of these chill
dren. How many are to be saved, and
III Ao" AOA6, ucpCAtOS eAlllEely upon
the voluntary contributions which are
made t. the fund which is now being
created. b..
The work has been undertaken in
Grand Forks by a voluntary commit
tee Of philosophical citizens, and the
influence of all the churches and fra
ternities and similar organizations is
being directed to the same end. We
have made our contributions, and very
liberal ones, to the prosecution of the
war and the various relief measres
conducted during the war. We can
not now stand by and witness the
starvation of millions of little children
whose condition is directly due to the
war without raising a hand to help
them. 10
The Herald has undertaken to do
what It can to give publicity to this
work. 1t invites and urges liberal
contributions to the fund, and urges
that they be made quickly. Let the
New Year be begun by participation
in this, the most appealing relief work
that has yet been undertaken.

ESTABLISHING A REPUTATION.

Those who have assumed the re-
sponsibility of arranging for the ap-
preaching appearance in Grand Forks
of Nine. Pavlowa and her company
are naturally gratified at the interest
which Las been exhibited thus far in
the artistic entertainment which is
assured. To sponAor a production of
such magnitude involves financial risk
of no small magnitude, and those
who assume such risk like to feel that
they will not be required to pay dear
ly for misjudging the state Of the
community.
The prospect of good attendance is
also gratifying from the standpoint Of
those who will attend. Artists are
stimulated to their best efforts by the
evidence of welcome and appreciation,
and a good house always helps those
who fill it to enjoy the entertainment
presented.
The community itself also has an in
terest in a production Of this class.
The only way in which a small city
situated Is ours is can hope to enjoy
the best in music, drama and the kim
dred arts is through maintaining a
reputation for the liberal patronage of
the hisa class attractions which are
offered. The daily expenses of a
great company such as that of Paw
Iowa are very large, and no manage
ment can afford to taxi the risk Of
opening with such a production in a
town Of doubtful reputation. That
Grand Forks has been favored with
a number of very high class attrac-
tons in the recent past is due to the
fact that the city has come to be
recognized as the center Of a very ap-
preciative community extending well
throughout the northern section of the
state. It has een learned that this
community demands coed things in
the stage art, and is liberal with its
support Of them. The prospective
patronage Of the Pavlowa entertain-
ment, by far the greatest Of it's kind
in the world, is an indication that the
reputation which the city has made ia
to be maintained.
