Public Health Nurses Report


All of the town schools Of Ward
County, except Sawyer, have been in
spected by the Red Cross Public
Health Nurse during the past three
months. As the. report will show
many interesting results Of the Pub
lice Hhealth work have been found. In
some cases the number Of correc-
tons exceeds the number of defects
found. The corrections mean the de-
fects taken care of up to the present
time.
The people of the towns and the
surrounding territory of each town
become as enthused as the children
with the Health Game and are even so
interested that they will come to the
school and bring the children of pre-.
school age with them for the nurse
to inspect.
Parent meetings have been held in
all the places and have been very
we'll attended, even one which was
held on day of blizzard. In one
town meeting was held in the
church basement, and the nurse was
asked to speak, and a little tot in
school enjoying the nurses stories
and talks on Health when she heard
this, timidly approached the nurse
and said 81 am going to hear you
preach tonight"
One little fellow @vent home from
school and told his mother that the
nurse came into his room and asked
them why she came to the school and
no one knew but him and he had to
tell her. He did too, saying, ITO fu-
migate u.s."

A Times Record reader has handed
US the following article and, as we
believe him to be a careful man who
would not misstate the facts nor draw
unwarranted conclusions, we print it
herewith. The statement starts out
with one of Governor Nestos' state
ments at the recent wheat marketing
conference at Fargo.
The Governor says: ~ saw
short time ago the statistics for
a period Of three years showing
the differences in prices quoted on
the cards mailed out in Minneapo-
lis to the various elevators in the
state, and the prices paid in Min
neapolis at the same time. This
should be looked into by those in
terested in the market problems
of our state.'
Our correspondent then goes on to
say:
To our mind the above has refer
ence to one of the rankest steals, and
is the cause Of more dissatisfaction
than any other thing in the market
ing of grain, and at the present low
price of wheat it means that most of
the elevators in the state are taking
toll from the farmers of about Is
percent for the mere running of the
farmers grain thru their elevators. As
the Elevators are compelled to do bus
mess under a state license, it would
seem that the might be asked to be
decent about it anyway. ''e~'
AS an illustration of how this works
out we give an actual transaction, ia
ken from sales account, all Of the
figures being for the same day and
date:
No. 2 Dark Northern, Min
neapolis price. .$1.375s to $1.57S
No. 2 Dark Northern, N. D.
elevator price ...........$1.15
Difference. .$0.423s
Freight and commission 49,. lax
Profit to elevator. ......... .2oE
AS the spread in Minneapolis mar.
ket on this day was 20 cents, to be
fair we will average the Minneapoli:
price at $1.473s which would still
leave a profit Of 1917 cents. Perhap:
the word profit is rather a mild name
for this transaction.
On the date in question the Russell
Miller Mill was paying S1.31 for thi
same grade at Valley City. AS tn
Governor says this condition has beef
going on for the past three years, AM
as it is entirely within the state, i
would seem that we should seek re
lief at home before going abroad.

write-up of this rust preventative

mers are earnestly invited to get rid
of the rust question by buying this
wheat at S6.75 per bushel - a very
moderate price-we should say not
for the farmers who are struggling
now with 81 cent wheat. The terms
of sale are made very easy (?) for
the farmer-one-third of the order or
