MAKING
May BECOME Big
STATE INDUSTRY

A great deal of attention has been
given of late years to the clay in
dustry of America, as it is one of the
most extensive and valuable repre-
%sentativcs of it's mineral resources.
On account of the large deposits of
valuable clay in western North Da-
kota, and especially the Missouri
Slope, this industry is one of special
Importance to the state. The School
of Mines at the University of North
Dakota has as one of it's functions the
development of the clay of
the state, and in the performing of
this function it is rendering a valu-
able service to the state.
The highest development of the
clay industry requires technical train
ing and considerable attention is
being given to such training in the
School of Mines. Two technical
courses are offered and four which
deal principally with the manufacture
of clay products. Other practical
curse in clays and clay working are
open to special students. These
courses are of particular interest to
those who wish to learn something Of
the science and handicraft of the clay
worker and the potter.
The character of the work is of
unusual excellence. The work is linn
tied not to the production of pottery
alone, but to research work on clays
of every kind from the common brick
clays and sewer pipe clays up to and
including the highest grade of art
pottery. 1t is the opinion of art
most critical experts who have ex-
amined it that the Missouri Slope pot
terry is not excelled in quality by any
commercial ware made in this III
try, with perhaps one or two possible
exceptions. Each year great progress
is made in the production Of greater
superiority and quality and in a wider
range of products.
This research work which is being
done very thoroughly is demonstrate
ing beyond all doubt the remarkable
character and quality of some Of the
immense clay deposits in the western
part Of the state, which are as yet al
most unknown and totally undevel-
oped. Undoubtedly this work will
lead in due time to the establishment
of a variety of industries connected
with the manufacture of the wide
range of clay products, which will
certainly prove of great economic
value to North Dakota.

WAR PRICES BRING
SUFFERING TO POOR

With flour soaring in price and
bread following upon its train, with
coal, potatoes, milk and eggs, furni-
ture, shoes, cotton goods and other
commodities rising every day, the
problem Of living becomes increasing
ly serious.
By s%kimping and planning and
economizing, the thrifty poor, who
have a small but steady income, may
be able, with difficulty, to make ends
meet, but to those who through sick
ness or accident are deprived of a
steady income, the rapid rise in the
cost of living ONE as a harbinger Of
privation, cold, hunger and sickness.
Realizing the serious predicament
of people of this class Envoy and Mrs.
George Dawson, the local officers in
charge of the Salvation Army, are
making a strenuous effort to assist
them during the coming winter and
feel sure that the citizens of Dickin-
son will cooperate with them in this
work Of mercy.

COAL DEPOSITS
INEXHAUSTIBLE

DR.. A. G. Leonard, director of the
State Geological Survey and profess
sor Of Geology at the State Univer-
sity, spent two months this summer
in Stark and Dunn counties continu-
ing the work on the coal survey for
the State Geological Society, locating
the different seams, determining their
thickness and extent, and mapping
the result of his observations. He
was also on the lookout for interest,"
ing geological discoveries of glacial
deposits and old stream valleys.
The thickest found this sum-
mer was 16 feet and was traced for
some distance along a tributary of the
Knife River, known as Spring Creek.
1t was traced for more than Is miles.
1t is being mined near Dunn Center.
Another seam in the northern part Of
Dunn county is from ten to twelve
feet thick and extends for nearly 80
miles along the Little Missouri.
There are 16 seams of Ignite coal in
that county 10 feet or more in thick
ness, and many more of four feet or
thicker, which are of minable depth.
The aggregate thickness of work
able coal beds in North Dakota is
about 146 feet. The coal supply is
almost in%exhaustible. According to
the reports Of the government geolo-
gists and the state survey, North Da-
kota has the greatest coal tonnage Of
any state in the Union.
People in the western part of the
state are dependent on this Ignite
for fuel, and it is doubtful if this part
Of the state could have been settled
so rapidly but for this bountiful sup
ply. This coal is a splendid briquet-
ting coal. 1t is very cheap, easily OBJ
tanned and makes excellent fuel.
Should commercial potteries be es:
when converted into gas would make
the most excellent fuel possible.

MRS. PRIOR DIES
AT NEW ENGLAND HOME

Rev. J. G. Dickey of this city left
for New England on Thursday to
conduct the funeral services of Mrs.
A. E. Prior, wife of Rev. Prior, Con-
gregational minister at New Eng
land.
Mrs. Prior had been more or less
an invalid for the last year, suffering
with cancer. In September she
sought the aid of expert doctors in
the Rochester hospital, who, however,
gave her case up and she returned to
languish away at her home, under the
most loving and thoughtful care. She
passed away on Tuesday of this week.
The Prior family ame to New
England in August, this year, from
the eastern part Of the state.
Deceased leaves to mourn for her
besides her husband, a grown daugh-
ter and three other children, the
youngest aged eight years.
This makes the second death in the
Congregational parsonage at New
England within the past year, the
other being Rev. Bliss not quite a
year ago.

Fargo. M. l.. Ayers was less fortu-
nate and was accepted as juror in the
famous Casselton bank case. w. R.
Everett, another Dickinsonitc sum-
moned forthwith" to Fargo last
Wednesday night, was excused at the
last minute on account Of his office as
U. S. commissioner. Judge Amidon
states that important business affairs
will not be considered by him in the
excusing of any jurymc:n from duty
at this term of federal court. Attor-
ney NJ. A. Hildreth, U. S. prosecutor,
and his assistant, Judge John Carm-
ody, state that they have court work
to last we'll into December.
Stark county people have a double
interest in the Kettel trial. The Ma
tional Bank of Casselton which was
closed early last December and opened
again in March, now has as it's execu-
tive head J. A. Krick, formerly cash
Ter of the Richardton State Bank. R.
cashier, are brothers, and were indict-
ed by a y. S. grand jury for mis-
appropriation of funds. They are
both married, and MI. Carrcl, brother
in-law of w. F. Kettel, former and
present assistant cashier CT the Cas-
selton bank, was the first witness
called for the government.
1t may also be Of interest to Press
readers to know that no depositor
lost a penny in the First National
Bank Of Casselton trouble, and when
the bank re-opened in March not a
single depositor withdrew his or her
account. Six stockholders and direc-
tors of the wrecked bank came for
ward with $4,000 each, or a total of
$1S0,000, which put the institution on
a firm financial basis again.

milk PRICE Arguments
WILL BE MADE TODAY
Producers to Open Battle for Increase
at Official Hearing.

The first step in the controversy to in
crease the price of milk in Washington.
will be taken this morning, when pro-
ducers from Maryland and Virginia will
appear before officials of the Agricultural
Department to present their CLAIMS. De-
velopments in the last two weeks have
led government officials to conclude that
a national agitation by farmers Is pos
sible and that an advance all over the
country is likely.
As a consequence, w. J, Spillman, of
the office. of farm management. and B. H.
Rawie. chief OF the dairy division, will
make a thorough investigation of the sit
uation. Letters from every section of the
country have been received by the Agri-
cultural Department in the past year. it
is said, requesting information as to the
cause of small profits which have been
derived by milk producers.
Mr.. Spillman said yesterday that he
would appoint an expert to investigate
conditions. This investigation, Mr.. Spill
man said, probably would be begun in the
fall.
In the meantime, the Washington deal
ers are reticent as to their position in
the matter. They take the stand that
the producers began the fight and that
they must await a decision before ex-
pressing views.

This. in brief. is the story of Jo-
