GRAND FORKS HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST
DEATH CLAIMS
ir-jrn ifW *i'
SINCE MIDNIGHT
Epidemically Appearing Dis
ease Still Prevalent"
Jn City.
Since midnight, last night three chil
dren in this city have died of the dis
ease commonly known as "summer
complaint." So far, the victims of
this disease within the past fortnight
ntrtnber six, and, judging from reports
today, there is'no' material change in
the situation since early this week.
Robert Jenson, 5-year-old son Of
Mr. and Mrs. Melvin R. Jenson, 707
Boulevard' avenue, died at midnight
last night after having suffered from
an attack of "summer complaint" for
a little more than a week, most of
which time he had been unconscious.
The funeral will take place from
the home Sunday afternoon at 2
o'clock, Rev. H. B. Thorgrimsen of
ficiating.-
Two Babies Die Within An Honr.
The 20-months-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. John Bergdahl, 702 Fourth ave
nue, died this morning about 4 o'clock,
after having suffered from "summer^
complaint" for a period of about ten
days, three of which he was uncon
scious. Hardly an hour later, at about
5 o'clock, the 13-months-old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. John Lundhagen, 111
Seward, avenue, succumbed to the
same disease. The remains were ship
ped to Fergus Falls, Minn., this noon,
accompanied by the parents.
When asked for 'an opinion about
the prevalence of this dread infantile
disease, City Health Officer Henry
O'Keefe said today that after discus
sing it with a number 'of local phy*
sicians, he came to the conclusion
th^t there was nothing abnormal in
the appearance of diarrhea at this
time. "Even the number of cases re
ported is just about normal," Dr.
O'Keefe said, "and there is no need
for fear as long as parents are careful
and call piedical aid when the first
symptoms of any disorder appear.
"The disease is chiefly due to cli
matic conditions, but there is no
danger of infection whatsoever in
view of the fact that diarrhea is not
a contagious
disease."<p></p>DEMONSTRATION
WILL BE HELD
Canning Methods of County
Teams to be Seen To
morrow.
Much interest is being manifested
in the canning demonstration which
will be held at Larimore tomorrow.
Louise Fitzgerald of the state agri
cultural college at Fargo, will bfe
present as the judge of the products
and methods. The demonstration will
be held in Larimore because that city,
situated as it is, can be most con
veniently reached from all parts of
the county.
The boys' or girls' team to which is
awarded first honor, will represent
Grand Forks county at a state meet
ing of winning teams in Fargo during
the early part of September, where
the various successful teams of all
counties will compete. The winner at
the Fargo demonstration will repre
sent the state at a meeting of the
champion teams of nine states, which
will be held.at Sioux City, Iowa.
Many of theentries at the Larimore
demonstration tomorrow are among
those which wpre not shown at the
Grand Forks fair because of unfavor
able weather.
AUTOMOBILE ON FIRE
Gasoline May Have Come in Contact
With Electrical Connection.
The automobile owned by W. P.
Davies was damaged considerably this
morning by fire caused, probably, by
gasoline coming in contact with an
electrical connection.
The gasoline tank had just been
filled at one of the filling stations and
some of the gasoline was spilled over
the engine. As soon as the machine
was started, fire started and in an in
stant the machine was in flames. The
car was quickly run into the street
and attempts to put the blaze out
failed. The fire department was
called and the fire extinguished, but
not-until the gasoline tank had ex
ploded, causing considerable damage.
The windshield was broken, the
tank shattered, the upholstering de
stroyed and several minor parts dam
aged, but not beyond repair.

'Assure Grand Forks county retail

will be supplied for canning. Job

ers are assured of enough sugar to
take care of all the needs of the state
and there will be sufficient to care for
all fruit and vegetables."
Information along these lines was
also wired to Mrs. R. A. Sprague,
county food administrator, who said
that the new arrangement was effec
tive at once.

Mrs. Sprague said that the regula
tions require special permits for
sugar which is to be used for can
ning purposes. Strictly speaking,
these permits should be obtained
following application to Dr. Lada at
Fargo, bul in order to save time a:nd
to facilitate canning, arrangements
have been made fey which house-1
wives may get their permits in this
city if they will apply for them to
Mrs. Sprague, who will be' at her
residence, 312 1-2 Kittson avenue, ev
ery noon from 12:80 to 1:30 and at
her office in the city hall from 2 to
4 o'clock. Mrs. Sprague then for
wards applications and copies of per
mits to the federal state adminis
trator's office.
Some misunderstanding has been
prevalent with reference to the for
mer method of obtaining sugar for
canning purposes it had been un
derstood that it was possible to "sign
for" one hundred pounds, and a num
ber of housewives have availed them
selves of this plan, tome of them se
curing narts of the special canning
sugar allowance thus made. Now
they have been at a loss as to how
to interpret the regulations in regard
to the balance of the sugar for which
they had signed, and when Mrs.
Sprague's attention today was called
to this dilemma she said that the
former arrangement was null and
void, but that practically the same
amount of sugar could be secured
on the strength of the special canning
sugar permits about to b.e issued.
"Under all circumstances," Mrs.
Sprague said, "there is no use of
worrying about the situation. We
have enough sugar for canning fruits
and vegetables, but we have not.
enough for waste the just distribu
tion is being attended to as system
atically as we can do it, anjd every
housewife who nebds sugar for her
canning, certainly can get it as soon
as a permit is issued to her."
City Expenses Increased
Bujlget Amounts to Approximately
$180,000 for Next Fiscal Period.
At a meeting of the city council as
a committee of the whole, held last
evening for the purpose of preparing
the annual appropriation- budget, it
was decided that approximately $180,
000 will be allowed for city expenses
for next year. This decision is sub
ject to the approval of the council
wfiich meets next Tuesday. The ap
propriation for last year was $164,000.
The added amount of the appropri
ation for this year will be partly due
to the increase of salaries for city
employes. Firemen and police were
each raised $10 per month, making
their salaries $90 and $95, respec
tively. Other employes were also
given raises of from $5 to $10.
In various other departments it has
been necessary to ask for larger ap
propriations than on the previous
budget.
COLLEGE TO OPEN SOON
At present it is expected that the
opening will be on September 15, al
though it is doubtful whether there
will be any formal opening at that
time as all of the remodeling may not
be finished then.
The school will be known as the
College of St. James and will 'have
a regular four-year course, although
studies for the last year will not be
given the first term.
An addition has been made to the
old building, and the private- dor
mitory rooms are being redecorated
and refloored. The college in gen
eral is being made to look like a new
institution.
Merchants Held Meeting
Many Important Blatters Came Up
for Discussion.
The Merchants' association held a
meeting in the Columbia hotel last
evening for the purpose of laying
plans tor the fall work of the organ
ization. About 60 merchants were
present and arrangements were made
for another meeting to be held in'
about two weeks..
The question of securing stabling
facilities for farmers' horses during
the winter months was given much
discussion and it is probable' that
definite action will be taken in the
near future, because many merchants
are of the opinion that farmers will
not come to the city during the win
ter if their horses are not cared for.
Another question which came in
for 'much discussion .was the credit
situation.
