Oysters Blamed for
Cause of Epidemic

Scientists at the state health de-
partment here are turning the cold,
hard gaze upon the innocent little
oyster-or at least upon some oys-
tiers.
A recent epidemic in Chicago was
traced to the oyster supply, accord
ing to information received by State
Health Director A. A. Whittemore.
Since then the national health auth
critics have scurried about and in
spected the oyster beds and have is
sued list of wholesale oyster COM
panies whose product meets the
health requirements.
Lack of funds prevents him from
circularizing oyster dealers with the
list of such companies, DR.. White
more said, although this is being
done in some states. His office,
however, will answer any query re-
garding any particular Wholesale
company whose product is sold in this
state.

Humphreys Says
Canadian Fruit
y Crop Is Bumper

George Humphreys, Bismarck city
commissioner, is back in Bismarck
after a fivc-weeks visit in Hamilton,
Ontario, Canada, reporting that the
'Ontario fruit crop this year is "big-
ger than ever"
Grain crops in Canada are gen.
orally good, he said, but the major
crop in the Ontario district just
across the boundary from Buffalo,
N. Y, is fruit and vegetables.
Humphreys said he saw more
fruit this summer than he had ever
seen at one time before.
American fruit raisers have a
business advantage over their Ca
madam competitors, Humphreys said,
because the American crop ripens
about three weeks before the Canadi-
an, and the raisers in the United
States ship their products into Can
ada before their crop is ready.
Pears, apples, peaches, and all
families of vegetables are raised in
great quantities in the Hamilton
section.
Humphreys and his family, who
visited relatives in Canada, have
been in the city for few days.

Burleigh Farmers
May Buy Purebred
Cows and Heifers

Farmers in Burleigh county who
desire to purchase pure-bred Gnern-
sey and Holstein cows or heifers arc
requested to get in touch with the
county agent, A. R. Miesen said in
Bismarck today.
Miesen has recently returned
from the northern part of the state
where he has found two carloads of
the purebred stock for sale. Farm
ers in the district have siRnified
their intention Of purchasing part
of the shipment, but there are a few
animals left for farmers who may
need them.
The purchase Of purbred dairy
cattle by Burleigh county farmers
Is just another indication Of a step
toward diversification in the dis
trict, Miesen said.

Many Wild Ducks;
Farmers Complain

Wild ducks are going to be "ex-

cording to the state game and fish
commissioner for this state.
Every mail brings complaints from
farmers that the ducks are destroy

enjoy duck-hunting should have little

STATE HEATH
WORK ENLARGED
New Course of Study Adopted
fer North Dakota Rural
Schools

Students in rural North Dakota
schools will be given q new course In
health education this year through
the cooperation Of the North Dakota
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, superintendent and instruc-
tors at the various schools and
teachers colleges and the state de-
partment of public instruction.
Instructors from Valley City,
jamestown. and Williston cooperated
with Anna D. Burr, Bismarck, form
err school superintendent Of Bottineau
county, and Mrs. E. A. Wilson and
Beulah Churchill, both members Of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union ct Bismarck in planning the
course.
An educational program accom-
plished largely through emphasis on
the child's physical attributes should
include at least four activities, the
committee on health education said.
The activities may be separated to
some extent in outline but cannot be
separated in action. They were listed
as follows:
/. Examination Of school children
for physical defects, with follow-up
work and remedial measures.
2. Control Of growth processes
by exercise or relaxation, and Of So
cial qualities by play or athletics
throughout . course in physical
training.
3. Provision for hygienic and san
itary school surroundings and a
healthful environment at home and in
the community in so far as the school
influences permit.
4. The teaching of hygiene or
health, including personal home and
school habits and community or
group consciousness, and RESPONSE
bility for health control.
The course is planned primarily to
give the teacher of the one-room
school material for a constructive
health program through exercises,
open window drills and schoolroom
and playground games and activities,
the committee said. It is sufficiently
elastic to provide for a more COM
plete course where time and equip
ment are available.
The work is divided into three
natural periods-autumn, winter and
spring, with activities suited to the
conditions Of each. Several projects
of each type are worked out in detail,
including story plays, initiative exer-
cises, individual athletic programs,
marching and games.

economic production and efficient
marketing. He carries to the farmer
information which enables him to
produce at lower cost and he as
sists in the organization Of coopera-
tive marketing associations where
they have a reasonable chance to sue
coed.
1.-The County Agent recognizes the
problem of SURPRISES. He advocates
shifting from wheat worth only ~
to 2 cents per pound, due to over.
production in the United States, to
buttcrfat and wool which are now
being imported and are worth IS ia
30 cents per pound.
"In other words, he urges the
farmer to balance his operations SO
that he will make the most profitable
use of his labor and capital."

Oats were firm and quiet, largely
In sympathy with corn. Barley fu-
lures were draggy and lower. Rye
rallied with wheat. Flaxseed was
strong on the government estimate.
Cash wheat offerings were large
and the market was easy in spots,
but choice dry high portein springs

Winter wheat offerings were light

under conspiracy indictments in the

Grand Jury Probes Police
Already special grand jury has
begun to comb the police department
to sift the part played by some Of
its officers in the affairs of Primary
Day. It is investigating, too, the
part played by certain notorious
gangsters, racketeers and gunner,
known to have been heavy contribu-
tors to campaign funds.
Matters generally regarded as be-
ing far afield from the primary day
outbursts, but which the special
grand jury already has found to have
pertinent bearing. are. being made
the subject Of scrutiny.
A suite Of offices in a downtown
office building, marked by legend
which would scarcely connote the
happenings behind the doors, has
been the scene of the workings of
the grand jury and the Investigators.
Certain characters Of Chicago's
underworld, for reasons best known
to themselves-revenge, avarice, re-
taliation, Observation-Disclosures
have put the investigators in posses
sion Of valuable information.
This is to be no political white
wash. The indictments already re-
turned demonstrate that, as well as
the character and personnel of the
Investigators.
There are places in Chicago where
the workings Of the special grand
jury form the subject of earnest
speculation and comment. No one
knows where the lightning will
strike next.
The once-powerful Thompson
Grove political machine which con-
tributed to the opprobrium Chicago
has borne among the great cities of
the world is passing.
