Grand Forks. N. D., Dec. 20.-North
Dakota Ignite is going to the front.
Practically every mine in the western
part OF the state is running day and
night with a full force in an attempt
to meet the demand because OF the
high price and scarcity OF eastern
grades OF coal. Ignite operators re-
port that they are unable to MI all
the orders because OF the scarcity OF
help. Although Ignite contains a
larger percentage OF moisture when
first mined than eastern coal, it has
precisely as large a number of heat
calories as the other coal.

Friday S Basketball
Will Be Year S Best

The high school basketball games
for Friday night at the Armory, when
Minot and Leal serve as the opposing
forces at a big double bill, are arous-
ing much interest in Valley City bas-
ketball circles, and there is little
doubt but that record crowd will be
in attendance.
Minot is an unknown quantity this
year, but because of the fact that Val
ley high was eliminated from state
championship by Minot only in the
finals of the 1916 state tournament,
makes this game of unusual interest
to anyone following the basketball
dope of the season. The boys have
lost only one game out of six played
this season and will fight from start
to finish to maintain their percentage.
The preliminary game between Leal
high school and V. c. Reserves is also
going to be a real game. Leal has a
fast team this year, having defeated
Kensal, Courtenay, Wimbledon, and
Uxbridge. According to dope the Re-
serves will have to go on high speed
to keep up with the Leal boys.
The games are called for o'clock
sharp and one admission pays for
what will probably be the best session
of the season.
