When a picture comes to the local

particularly in the case of THE -Four

EPIDEMIC GAINS:
CASES ARE Mild
City Health Officer : Says
There is No Cause For
Alarm

Though there are a great many
cases of grippe in Grand Forks at
the present time, and the epidemic has
gained considerable during the last
day or two, DR.. e. c. Haagenson, city
health officer, stated this afternoon
that there is no cause for alarm and
that practically all of the cases are in
a light form.
Only a few cases of pneumonia
have developed from the ailmept. DR..
Haagenson states. and where the pa
tient is properly cared for the attack
usually is very light. The cases that
econ serious, according to the city
health officer, are those where the
patient had a cold previous to be-
coming ill of the epidemic disease.
and where the patient gets out too
soon after being ILL.,, Extreme care
should be taken to be fully recovered
from the attack befores venturing out.
DR.. H~aagenson points out.
In the main. the cases here are
plain grippe; DR.. H~aagenson states.
though there are some cases that
assume a little more severe form and
are characterized as influenza.
Many Cases at "U."
Between $50 and. zoo cases have
been reported at the state university,
but practically all of them are in a
light form, it is said. This number
of cases applies to the students ac-
tually residing on or near the campus
A good many of these cases have
been characterized as little more than
bad colds. n but few Of the cases
are considered serious, it was said
this afternoon.
The man who is employed by his
wife's father doesn't worry about los
ing his job.

Conflict and Victory
BY II. FRANK COCHRAN

No one but knows the struggle
His heart and soul have had
To keep from doing evil
Or keep from being bad,
For every heart. no matter
How calm the face may he
Has had terrific battles
No mortal eye could see.
No one but knows the turmoil
That RACES In the breast.
That wrings the heart with anguish
And keeps the soul distressed.
For every heart has sorrow,
No other heart can share,
No matter how the face beams
The heart has heavy care
Although the soul has conflicts
And though the heart has care
Oft times the cares that vex US
Bring blessings very rare.
'Tis rain as well as sunshine
That make the flowers grew,
And oft from life's fierce struggles
Sweet benedictions flow.
No one who reaches glory.

EXPLAINING KNOTS ON TREES
They Mark Spots Where the Branches
Have Left the Parent Stem
or Trunk.

Trees are formed Of three parts
the roots, the parent stem or trunk,
and the branches. When the trees
are cut up into lumber. the first Of
these parts Is useless. and generally
is left in the ground to be salyaged
later for other purposes.
The branches OF the tree are also
comparatively useless, but the trunk
produces a number Of valuable planks
in proportion to its diameter.
In spite of the fact that the branches
have been topped off, they leave theii
mark upon the parent stem in the
shape of hard, round or oval spots,
which we call KNOTS, Each Of these
knots shows where the limb Of the
tree was growing, because the limb
had its beginning in the heart Of the
trunk, drawing its sUstenance directly
from the central source Of supply.
The hardness of knots is due TO the
fact that more strength is required
at the base of the limb than farther
out.

Why 4 "Jumper2"

The word was originally a Jump,
and is first met in 1915, as Jacket
or loose coat reaching TO the thighs.
The dainty feminine garment Of to-
day owes its parentage to the shape
less garment of coarse sacking some
times worn by coal beavers or dock
laborersl For this was the original
lump" essentially a male garment
Of the most primitive type. Indeed.
one Polar expedition records that it
found the EskimOs wearing these
Jumps" or loose jackets.
In the seventeen hundreds Jumps"
became feminine, in the form of a
kind OF loose stays, chiefly worn as a
sort of undress.
Then, in The eighteen hundreds, the
admiralty took notice Of the word
as a Jumper" It is officially men
toned as one OF the new rigs" Of

From this curious ancestry has
evolved the jumper Of rhe girls Of to-
