MANY FARMERS
ARE CLAIMING
EXEMPTIONS
Agricultural Grounds Claim
Made By More than $50
Registrants.

Bismarck, N. d., Aug. 14.-North
Dakota claimants for exemption on
agricultural ground to the number OF
ESQ or more had filed claims with the
yesterday afternoon. Many Of these
claims came from counties which
have certified no lists of accepted
registrants to the state board, and
Chairman Luther e. Birdzell last
evening issued a statement to regis
trants advising them that they are
not expediting action upon their
claims by filing in advance Of the
time specified, which is five days aft
er their names is certified to the state
board from the local body.
Under section A Of the regular
tons, such claims may be filed with
the district board on or before the
fifth day after the mailing Of the no.
tees by the local board to the person
called. Advise all persons known to
contemplate such claim to withhold
the same until the local board notifies
them that their names nav been GER
titled to the district board,'' requested
Chairman Birdzell in a message last
night to local boards.

TO facilitate action blythe district
board" advised the chairman, "all
claims submitted to it must be sub
stantiated by affidavit of claimant and
at least n d~isinterested householder,
not a. relative of the person called
who is personally cognizant Of facts
bearing upon the claim. Afidayits in
support of claim may be filed within
i've days after filing claim with dis
trict board. 1t is not sufficient that
such affidavits state, merely the con-
clusion that the continuance Of the
person called in a. certain industrial ar
agricultural occupation is necessary,
but all the facts from which such
conclusion may or may not be drawn
must be set forth For instance,
where it is stated that the servicesfof
a son are needed In the operation Of
q farm, the af1davits must show the
ages n occupations Of all the other
members of the family, and the physi-
cal condition of the father, the Size of
the farm operated, and the exact
character and extent OF the agricul-
tural work being maintained thereon.

The board at its meeting yesterday
formulated no other rules, nor did 1t
do more than arrange by counties the

ion that a result Of the conference
Will be.a recommendation to Presi-
dent Wilson that there be named an
Individual or a committee to regulate
the prices OF coal, and that there be
established a maximum price to the
retail trade by action similar to that
taken in fixing a minimum price for
wheat. -
North sDakota's difficulties lie on
its eastern frontier" said Dr.. Stick
ney. Zone Of our problems will be
to educate U eastern counties and
perhaps adjoining states as well to
appreciate the value Of Ignite. Cen
trail and western North Dakota long
have recognized it as an efficient fuel.
The little bituminous coal which we
use in this section comes. from the
west. The Red River Valley, how
ever, imports its coal from the east
ern and middle-western. fields. There
Is no question as to the ability Of our
Ignite mines to supply the entire
state with a cheap, satisfactory fuel.
I am advised that an advance Of so
cents the ton is contemplated. This
would seem to be justified by the ad-
vance in freight rates and the much
higher cost Of labor, Even with this
advance, Ignite coal at 1925 to 1915
the ton would be far the most efn-
Gent and economical fuel we could
burn" 80
