Believe BriQuetted
Ignite Will Solve
the Coal Problem

Minot, N. D., Sept. 27.-The briquet-
ting of Ignite coal, regarded by Dean
E. J. Babcock of the North Dakota
School of Mines as the solution of the
problem of how to put the North Da-
kota coal on the market, will be plac-
ed on a commercial basis in Min0t
within a short time. The Northern
Ignite Briquetting company has been
organized and 1t is constructing 4
plant in this city, the first in the state.
Successful utilization of North Da-
kota's vast deposits Of Ignite coal
will open big avenue Of development
to the state, particularly to the west
ern districts where the coal deposits
lie. These are greater in extent than
any similar deposit on the American
continent.
For some time the state has been
engaged in a study of the Ignite prob.
lem, establishing an experimental sta
ton at Hebron, where the work was
handled under the direction of Dean
Babcock. He has worked out a sys4
tenn of briquetting that has proved
successful in the demonstration plant,
and which it is believed can be adopt.
ed by commercial interests and be
made successful.
In the Minot plant there is now in
course of construction complete bril-
quoting outfit will be installed. The
mines from which the coal will be Sc
cured are located several miles from
the city, but railroad connection has
been established so that the hauling
cost is greatly reduced. Dean Bah
cock believes that Ignite coal bril-
quettes can be placed on the market
at a cost of about cents less than an
thracite coal. He contends, too, that
its heating powers are far superior,
in proportion to cost.
Work on the local plant is being
rushed with the hope of placing the
briquetting coal on the market at an
early date. The main factory has
three floors, with total floor space
of about 5000 feet. A bin for the stor-
age of briquettes will hold $4,000 Gu.
bic feet of the finished product. The
plants capacity will be nine tons an
hour, and the coal is handled autOma-
tically at all stages, and the factory
will operate continuously.

Child Needs Light
On life'S ORIGIN

Barinerd, Mimi, Sept. 26.-"Mothers
who scold and slap their children and
tell them they are naughty and wick
ed and fools, when they ask about the
origin of life are criminals" Prof. T.
w. Shannon, lecturer on Social Hy-
giene, said before the State Fedora

teacher or pure mothe~ which hurts
it is the half truths got in bad envi
ronment. We may find some truth
even in a ten cent novel, but we are

their downfall not to choice, but to

CORN ACREAGE INCREASES

North Dakota Farmers Have Large
Quantity Of Aeclimated Seed.
Fargo, N. D., Sept. 25.-North Da-
kota has greater acreage Of corn and
larger yields than ever before in its
history. There is greater interest
in corn culture than before, and. above
all, the state has an unlimited supply
of acclimated seed corn of the very
highest quality aud maturity The con.
tests of the Better Farming associa-
ton have created much enthusiasm.
The contestants report yields varying
from 40 to 10 bushels an acre and the
growth of corn from the South Dakota
line to the international boundary
Seed selections have been made by
many farmers and in many cases a
sufficient supply for two-year period
has been saved because of the high
quality and the possibility of poor
grade next season. One of the strik-
ing features of the matter is that at
least IS per cent of the corn grown
under the contests has matured. The
situation is decidedly encouraging for
those interested in corn culture in this
state.

North Dakota Fdgin
Lures Boy from Home

Minot, Sept. ga grief stricken
father and mother are searching to-
day for Ray Miller, 10.
According to Mr.. Mills, the boy
was induced to leave Havrei by a no.
torious crook and in company with
the older man and two or,three boy
companions, left Harve Wednesday
night, headed east. l-.
At Glasgow, he wrote to his mother
asking her to send him a pay check
for $21 which he had coming from the
Great Northern railroad. He told her
to address the money to him at Minot.
His father came directly to Minot
on receipt of the letter and engaged
the police here in an effort to find
the boy. In. company of two police
men, every nook and corner of the
city were searched fruitlessly and
later an extended trip through the
jungles was made in an effort to To-
cate the boy After the failure of this
move, the police accompanied by the
father, visited every hotel in the city
and examined the registers in the
hope of finding some trace of the boy.
The only clue stumbled on was at the
"Tin Roof boarding house, where
the name of Harry" Miller was found
inscribed on the register, the hand
writing scrubbed badly and the last
name being signed identically as the
boy was in the habit of making his
signature. The police believe tina,
the boy undoubtedly was at this place
over night but no trace of him could
be found, the hotel people being un-
able to tell where he might be. :.
Close watch is being made on the
postoffice today, in the hopes that
young Miller will call there for the
expected money.
He was dressed in blue coat, light
hat and trousers and tan shoes, was
thirteen years old but looked couple
of yetrs older and Wac thick set and
rugged His face was slightly mark
ed with few pipmles.
The older man with whom the boy
left the city, is known by Mr.. Miller
to be notorious crook and wanted
by the sheriff in his county. If the
boy is caught it is hoped by the local
police. that the older man can be ap-
pretended and held for the Montana
authorities.
He could be arrested for taking a :
