in fixing a minimum price for wheat.
North Dakota's difficulties lie on
it's eastern frontier said Dr. Stick
ney. Conc Of our problems will be to
educate our eastern counties and per-
haps adjoining states, as well, to APP
preciate the value OF Ignite. Central
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, however, I'M !
ports it's coal from the eastern and
middle western fields. There is no
question as to the ability of our lig.
mite mines to supply the entire state
with a cheap, satisfactory fuel. / am
advised that an advance of so cents
the ton is contemplated This would
seem to be justified by the advance
in freight rates and the much higher
cost of labor Even with this adj
vance, Ignite coal at 1925 to 1915
the ton would be by far the most eff
ficient and economical fuel we could
burn"

sources of North Dakota, whose store
of this fuel has been estimated by

the capital, after an inspection of the

find that the almost complete loss of

pro blem, as no provision for the pur
chase of provisions which the hospi-
tai gardens heretofore always have
raised in abundance was made in the
boards budget last winter, and the
state has little or nothing left in it's
emergency fund to draw upon. In
other years the hospital has raised
enough potatoes to supply it's own
needs and number of the other insti-
tutions. The proba Utilities are that
the hospital will be forced to buy po-

Williams County Horse eOwnsrs
Appeal From Decision Of
Fisk in Favor of Board

The supreme court is asked to pass
on the constitutionality of the North
Dakota law providing for the destruc-
ton of horses found affected with
dourine. A. NJ. Neer and Andrew
Johnson, well known farmers of Will
liams county, have appealed from
decision of Judge Frank Fisk in dis
trict court holding that the livestock
sanitary board has authority to or
der the destruction of infected horses
Neer and Johnson petitioned Fisk for
an injunction restraining the board
from destroying two of their horses,
which, the board claimed, were infect
ed Fisk ruled that, while there
might be doubt as to the infection of
the horses, this was matter zor the
livestock board to determine, and
that the law vesting the board with
its authority was sound. Tens of
thousands have been lost in the de-
struction of horses under this act.

PRISON TWINE TURNED
BACK TO EARLY BUYERS
NOW MUCH IN DEMAND

Grain growers in sections of the
state where crops are turning out far
better. than anticipated are profiting
from cancellations of less fortunate
neighbors who early in the spring or,
dered large quantities Of Irvine from
the state prison plant and later re,
turned it. The prison now is closing
out all OF this rejected Irvine at the
original price of 10 cents the pound,
giving late buyers the benefit Of a
price lower than the cost of the raw
material. The plant manufactures
only about third Of the Irvine used
in North Dakota, andt always sells
about 2 cents under the market.

Rural School Notes.

We had planned to hold the county
eighth grade graduating exercises in
the various townships, so that all
graduates and parents might be pres
ent. A series of picnics were to have
been held this week for this purpose,
but it has been found necessary to
hold the regular county exercises as
| usual. The farmers are so busy and
such a large number of the teachers
have left their districts, that it is i'm
possible to insure an attendance that
would warrant the expenditure neces-
sary for such a series Of meetings. We
have therefore, arranged to hold the
exercises at the Cresco high school
Saturday, June 9th.
We are glad to announce that class
of sixty will be graduated this year.
This is the largest class that it has
been my privilege to graduate and
am proud, indeed, of the quality as
well as the quantity. But when I
think of the class of thirty-six rural
students, the presentation of whose d.
plomas I witnessed little over a
week ago, at the Orange Township
Consolidated school in Black Hawk
County, wonder how many Howard
County boys and girls would have been
graduated this year had they been
given an equal opportunity. Who
could but be jealous of such a fine
class as they stood on the stage in
the large auditorium of their own
school building, probably the finest
class of rural eighth grade students
that have ever received diplomas in
the state? Many of these boys and
girls had dropped out of school and
never would have completed the
eighth grade had it not been that this
consolidated school was opened for
them. Some of them had been out of
school for three or four years but
practically all of the class will be
back next year, members of the fresh
man class of the high school. It is
a privilege that I covet for the boys
and girls Of Howard county.
Prof. Chas. H. Meyerholz of the
Teachers College at Cedar Falls will
give the graduating address. Prof.
did some. good work in
this county in the spring of 1914, and
we know that in recalling him we are
making no mistake.
You are cordially invited to at
tend these exercises, a program of
which will be found in another part
Of this issue.
