or against the adoption, the work of
those most interested is shown on the
face of the returns. Those opposed
were busy to certain extent but were
unable to rally sufficient forces to
bring about a defeat.
One of the things which contributed
largely to the adoption of the plan,
was the talk of Mayor Halvorson, of
Minot, at the court house on Friday
evening. There was fairly good
attendance at this meeting. While
Mayor Halvorson set forth few addi-
tional points than those which had
already been published, he neverthe-
less did it in a convincing way. He
cited many cases in favor of the COM
mission plan, and stated that facts
and figures proved that the city of
Minot has been getting along better
since the adoption Of the commission
plan.
The next step in connection with the
new order of things will be the issuing
of "Letters Patent" by the state, au-
thorizing the city to operate under
the commission plan as prescribed by
the North Dakota statutes.
The coming spring election will be
held under this law, at which time a
president and four commissioners will
be elected at large to manage the
affairs of the city.

MENDING EGGS

The following is taken from the cur
rent issue of Farm and Fireside:
During the Matching season last
spring ] had placed a setting of fine
eggs. A few days before the chicks
were due, two eggs were accidentally
cracked and began to bleed, showing
that the chicks were fully developed
and alive. I took the eggs from the
nest very carefully, melted a little
paraffin, and when it was slightly cool
l pour ed it over the broken places of
the eggshell, being careful not to
cover any more surface than was nee
essary.
"Both the eggs produced fine,
healthy chicks that were raised to
maturity"

WILL FURNISH
MOTOR JUICE
GASOLINE AS BY-PRODUCT OF
Ignite A Splendid POSI-
BILITY

Gasoline will probably be the most
important Ignite coal by-product, ac-
cording to the analyses made by Dean
Babcock of the school of Mines at
Grand Forks.
From 10000 to 1000 cubic feet of
gas can be produced from ton OF dry
lignte coal. Gasoline is now being
made on a commercial basis from ma
tural gas, and the composition of lig-
mite gas and the natural gas is much
the same.
Another by-product is tar, as ton
of Ignite will yield between 20 ano
80 pounds of tar, and it is rich in
lubricating and wood preserving pro-
perties. There also is amonia sui
phate, which has high market value
as a fertilizer and can be used for
several manufacturing purposes.

Taft, smiling, congratulated Wilson;
