She went tiptoeing down the
hall to her room. When deeply
moved Nora Lee walked on her
toes and talked in soft murmur
to herself. She said, amazed and
feeling a fire rushing to her neck:
"He doesn't know-he doesn't

She became indignant when hot

She was unlocking the door of

know why she wished to hide her
self in there. But she sat on the
bed and buried her face in the

Of the feeling that she were being

When she returned to the open
door someone stood on the

her teacher at the high school.
Her face had an air of suspense,
as though he were, with the great

He said, hurriedly: you're not

and reSre esentatives of the Red Cross

1t was explained that Burleigh
county, the city and schools now
spend about $4,000 annually for
Health Board and possibly the Snep-
art-Towner act administration, would
match this amount, giving yearly
budget of about $4,000. The full
time health board to be employed
would include health officer, two
nurses and money would be provided
for administrative expenses.
The purpose of the organization
would be to prevent disease, through
aid and education. DR.. Covington
said that half the deaths in the coun-
ty resulted from disease which could
have been prevented. He estimat ed,
from an economic standpoint, that
each life was worth $1,7OO annually
to the community. If but one per-
cent of the deaths could be avoided
through this activity, he said, the
county would gain financially.
The city, county and schools would
pool the money now spent on health
work, to be spent under the proposed
arrangement, the total amount to re-
main about the same. 1t is proposed
to try out this plan in two or three
counties in the state, Burleigh being
the first to which DR.. Covington has

AUTO LICENSE
RECEIPTS UP
Almost Three Times as Much
To Date as Last Year

They're getting their motor cars
out early in North Dakota this year.
Receipts up to March 21 in the state
motor vehicle registration bureau
reached O7,965.7O as compared to
$11O,765.65 up to the same day last
year. A total of 46,2O6 cars had been
registered, of which 17,1O3 were clp ss-
ed as "non-Fords."
A special effort was made by Motor
Vehicle Register John Tucker to get
licenses out early this year, the work
starting promptly on the first day of
January. With an office force of
three less than at the same time last
year, the work of handling the great
volume of mail is up to date, Mr..
Tucker said. Those applications that
are held up are retained chiefly for
additional information.
AS a result Of the big volume of
business Mr.. Tucker plans to send
out state inspectors earlier than
usual to round up those still display
ing 1923 license tags.

WEEKLY PAPERS
ARE DECLINING

st. Paul, March 24.-Weekly news.
papers of the country are on the to-
boggan slide, according to H. c. Ho-
falling, secretary of the National Edi
torial association, ST. Paul.
In the last SEVEN years, 2,7O5 week
ly newspapers have closed, he said
This is an average of 1856 year.
North Dakota stood high on the
list with the loss of three daily news
papers and 53 weekly newspapers.
AS the cost of doing business adj
vances, the number of newspapers
surviving each year grows less and
less,' he said. Perhaps it is a good
thing only the fittest survive. Thus
the country has better news papers. -
