Local folks who are planning
Fourth Of July celebrations may be
interested in knowing what the
chances are for rain on 1ndepend-
ence day. Lee O. Yoder, observer at
the United States weather bureau sta
ton in Moorhead, has looked up the
records for both the third and fourth
Of July for the past 40 years, to see
Just what the chances are for dry
or wet Fourth. These records show
that rain has fallen on July 3, 10
tinies, and on July 4, 10 times; on
both days, seven times, and on one day
OF the other Il times. These figures
include all amounts from enough to
barely wet the grass to the heaviest
thunder storm. But a rainfall OF less
than .25 inch does not matter much es-
pecially if it comes during the night
The records show that rainfall OF
.25 inch or over has occurred three
times between z p. m. on July 3 and
| z a. m. on the Fourth, four times be-
tween a. M. and p. m. on the
Fourth, and once between z p. m. and
midnight on the Fourth. It was also
Found that rain fell on June ~, Just
lone week before the Fourth, 20 times
| nine of which were followed by rain
on the Fourth. Considering only
amounts Of .25 in. or more. there were
mine such rains on June ~ and only
once was this followed by heavy ralr
a week later.

The .Minot ball team failed to show
up again today which is the second
day they have disappointed Valley
City. Valley City has played ser
les Of games with Minot and is en-
titled to the courtesy of the return
games. This morning after the train
came in over the 500 from Mlnot and
no ball team stepped of, Manager
Sampson called up the manager OF the
Minot team to find out why they did
not come but could not get the Minot
man to talk to tim and explain why
he did not c.lne down with his team
as agreed. This is mighty poor
craftsmanship on the part OF Mlnot
and in future years is not. going to
l,get that town anything along base

poeter,a centina,nt E.e,

In the fourteenth century doctors fees were yery high. Apart from the sum paid down the patient contracted to allow his medical man an annuity for as long as he iIyed or employed him. He also agreed to provide him with one or more suits Of clothes a year. Here is the advice given by one John Arderne to some beginners in the profession in the fourteenth century,
 Ask a great man 100 marks Of llO with robes and fee of 100 shillings yearly for lie. Of less men let him as et0 without further fees, and lei him never take less than l10 shiilings. for never in my life took I less than 100 shillings."
 When one realizes that the annual Income of poor man at this time was around about Si pounds and that he often managed to save one out of tho four, one grasps the fact that doctors fees were, indeed, very high. After the Wars of the Roses England was so very poor that such fees were out of the question; a surgeon had then to take what he could get. It new became the custom to contract to cure the patient Tor given sum and mo cure, no pay"
 When the new coin. the guinea, was struck in 1884 the younger doctors in- stantly pitched on il as ( settled fee. although the author of the Levamen Infirmi writes as late as 170o that ten shillings Is fair fee to charge for
