In a referendum vote which has just
been completed by the Grand Gorks
County Farm Bureau, the farmer
members of the organization declared
by a vote of rs to that the proposed

TWENTY RECRUITS
SIGN UP FOR co. G

A meeting for the purpose of start.
ing the organization of Company "G'
First North Dakota Infantry was held
in the City Hall Monday evening.
About. twenty young men were
OUT and considerable interest was
evinced in the proposed re-organiza--
ton of she company. A total OF
twenty enlistments were secured Mon
day evening, which is Z fine start to-
ward the complete reorganization, and
it is hoped that within few weeks the
total number of men wanted-eighty:
which will compose eight squads Of
ten men. each, will have been secured.
It is believed by those who are pushing
the reorganization of the company
that several more enlistments could
have been secured had it not been for
a basketball game and several other
entertainments which were being put
on in the city Monday evening.
Although no active solicitors have
been appointed by the committee in
charge Of reorganization, such steps
will be taken soon and then the active
work Of getting recruits for the COM
pany will begin. In this way it is be-
iieved that the total number desired
for the company will be secured in a
short time.
A splendid spirit of cooperation has
been expressed thus far, and several
have partially signified their intention
of joining the company when ap-
priached and asked to do so.

DEATHS IN
STATE IN 3 MONTHS

A large amount of educational work
was done by the North Dakota State
Board of Health during the quarter
ending December 81, 1920, according
to the quarterly statement of the
board which has just been issued. A
total of PIT cases of veneral disease
were reported to the board during that
period, two hundred and two of the
patients were males and Is females.
There were 1,180 deaths in the
state during October, November and
December, as compared with 1918
during the same period in 119. The
greatest number of deaths resulted
from heart disease, oranic, the num-
ber being 120. Pneumonia was next,
taking a toll of 11S lives. Death by
ages during the quarter, showed that
more people die under one year of
age than when they become older. Two
hundred and seventy-eight people died
during the period under the age of
one year, and 131 between the age Of
60 and 70 years, the next greatest
number.
During the month of October, VAL
ley City had Is births and four deaths.
In November, four births and nine
deaths and December Is births and
two deaths.
The most prevalent source of infec-
tion that prevails in Valley City at
present is the common cold. During
the summer months this affliction has
been less in evidence. The familiar
symptoms of sneezing, running noses:
tickling sensations in the throat with
later cough-all accompanied by chilly
sensations and general mean feeling,
are set up by number of causative
agents, some of which are not fully
understood.
There are few rules Of hygiene
that are of unquestionable help in pre-
venting colds; first, do not live in a
dry over-heated room. If you are
moving about do not have the tenn
perature over 65 and under no condi-
tion have it over 70. 1t is also neces-
sary to have adequate ventilation that
will allow for fresh out-of-door air
to be admitted to the rooms. If pos
sible some moisture should be supplied
to the air. Constipation also predis-
poses to colds and should be combatted
by proper hygiene and dietary meas
ures. A daily tub or sponge bath or
a dry rub with coarse towel will help
get the circulation of the skin in such
good condition that it will be able to
resist the action of chill, whether fol-
lowing exposure or due to cooling off
after getting overheated by exercise.
A day or two Of rest early in the
course of cold will do more to hurry
convalescence than medicine without
rest.
If you have repeated colds visit your
physician and have him see if there
is any local cause which can be re-
moved,

Casselton went down to defeat for
the second time this season at the
hands of the local high school basket
ball team last evening by a score Of
80, to s. Inability to keep up with &he
fast team work displayed by the local
team, and inability to break up the
strong defense, making long shots the
only salvation were perhaps the fun
damental causes of Casselton's defeat
althouh they put up a game battle
and fought for victory until the final

was oiled and working to perfection
and gave the fans a classy exhibition
of basketball playing, even though
the score was rather one sided. The
game was fast and characteristic Of
