WARWICK ON THE BOOM,

The little town of Warwick, in this
county, has taken on new lease of
life and with some new business inn

Receive Special Training.

The tendency is for boys to proceed d.
rect from the elementary classes to the
professional schools. They become doc
tors, lawyers and druggists, with only
the barest equipment of general knowl-
edge. Such men. declares the eminent
literateur, become skilled artisans in
their different professions and nothing
more. They have no taste in literature
or in the arts. This system is part OF
the product of the times. 1t is undemo-
cratic to have classical distinction and
general culture. The masses love the

sympathy with the intellectual aristoc-

PARIS. April @.-The practical spirit
that Is abroad Is having more and more
effect on education. In the current
Revue des Deux Mondes,'' NJ. Emile
Faguet Of the academy mourns the pres
ent position Of secondary education at
the Sorbonne. which, he says is threat
ened on the one hand by primary edu-
cation and on the other by higher or
professional education.
Education for education's sake is IN
a bad way, because 1t leads to no prac-
teal issue. Science and letters, unap-
piled to some professional course. merely
glut the market with unskilled learning.
1t Is notorious that the bachelor is
helpless victim in the struggle for life.
His academic training fits him only for
semi-starvation.

PROGRESS IN USE OF Ignite
Comparisons Show Healthy Increase il
the Use of North Dakota Ignite
Coal.

Substantial progress was made in the
utilization of the lignites of North Da
kota in 1909, as is shown by an in
crease in production from S2O,742 short
tons, valued at $522,l16, in 1908, to
4l2,205 short tons, valued at $632, 1874
in 1909, gain Of 91,463 tons or 2s.5
per cent in quantity, and of $l10,06s, or
81 per cent in value.
Extensive beds of Ignite underlie
the greater part of the western half of
the state, and though in caloric value
it is not high grade fuel, requiring
special furnaces and large CRATE areas
when used for steam raising and leav-
ing much to be desired when used for
domestic heating and cooking, it has
been found particularly well adapted
idly in this state. A number of brick
manufacturers at Dickinson, Scranton
and Kenmare have stated that Ignite
is especially desirable for this purpose
because Of its smokelessncss and SCOT
lessness in combustion and its relative
low cost as compared with other fuels.
One ton Of Ignite has been found
equivalent to one cord of ordinary
brickyard wood. The time required for
burning Kill nof brick with Ignite is
from eight days to two weeks, accord
ing to the dryness of the bricks when
set in the kiln and according to the
quality Of brick required. Some of the
brick manufacturers mine the Ignite
used by them.
With the development of other manu-
featuring industries in the state the
utilization of Ignite for the generation
of power through the gas producer, will
increase. The investigations conducted
by the United States Geological Sur
vey at the St. Louis exposition have
shown that Ignite is an excellent gas
producing fuel. 1t yields gas of high
er quality, though less in quantity, than
either anthracite or bituminous. coal,
and when so used in the generation of
power equals in efficiency the best BIZ
luminous coal under boilers.
The number of men employed in the
Ignite mines Of North Dakota increas
ed from 631 in 1908 to 972 in 1909, and
the average production per man de
creased from sos to 424 tons, the an
parent decrease in efficiency being due
in the main to the number of men EN-
ployed in new development work. There
were sixteen machines employed fol
underwriting in 1909, an increase from
eleven in 1908. The machine minet
tonnage increased from 104,SS in 1905
to 1896 in 1909.
According to T. R. Atkinson, thu
state mine inspector, there were only
two accidents in the Ignite mines Of
North Dakota nj 1909 and neither Of
these was fatal.

A SEARCH AFTER GIRL
DEVILS LAKE POLICE ASKED y = TO.
SEARCH FOR THE MISSING
HE1REss.

That the search for Miss Dorothy H.
G. Arnold, the missing New York city
society belle will be far reaching in
its extent, is evident from the com:
munication received this week by the
Devils Lake police.
Chief Barnes received word from the
police department of the metropolis,
asking that the local police assist in
the world wide hunt for the missing
Miss Arnold. The police of New York
have no special reason to believe that
the society belle would likely be in this
vicinity, but are not leaving any stone
unturned to locate the young lady.
All the papers in the country have
been flooded with news, pictures and
descriptions of Miss Arnold. The local
police received in the communication
three striking pictures of the young
lady. The first one of the group show
ed Miss Arnold dressed in summer at
tire, with a dainty little white linen
embroidered hat on. The second like
ness portrayed the profile and the third
was full length picture Of the missing
young lady dressed in winter garments,
cloak and hat. All Of the pictures show
Miss Arnold to be beautiful young
lady, possessing much charm.
