MACHINE GUN Better
THAN INFANTRY, SAYS
FORMER FORUM EDITOR.

Lieut.. James z. Finfrock, former
city editor OF The Fargo Forum,
writing his former co-workers from
Camp Dodge. says that he has charge
Of a machine gun company, and likes
1t much better than the infantry as
there is less irudgery than Is con-
nected with the latter arm Of service.
Lieutenant Finfrock says, however,
that commanding a machine gun
company does not mean less work, as
there is enough to keep an oficer
busy until II o'clock at night. He
sends greetings to all Fargo friends.

One apparent violation in the price
asked q Cass county dealer by a

Administrator Blakemore. nnd an
is being made by the
local administrator with She view of
whether it was a mis-
take or an attempt at graft. An
nut was invoiced to this
particular dealer, whose name Is
by the administrator, at
1896 on the dock at Duluth, when
the coal was advertised at $7.65. The
dealer informed Administrator Blake
more that he will sell the coal on
the basis of the invoice received, but
will keep track of the sales and IL
the mistake is with the jobber and
the amount is righted. a rebate will
be given the purchasers.
Anthracite Shipments Light.
The hard coal situation in Fargo
Is somewhat relieved, although sew
eral points in the district, compris-
ing the counties of Steele. Trail and
Cass, have been low on anthracite
with the result that the federal adj
last week rushed ship
ments into certain towns. Admin
strator Blakemore stated this morn
ing that he had received no word
relative to the hard coal situation at
Hunter which wired the admin
strator for immediate relief The
matter was turned over to the fed

Duties of Fuel Administra-
ton Committee Are
! Made Clear

That the spread in the price of
hard coal from the mine to the Head
of the Lakes docks is much less than
the spread in price on soft coal, Is
indicated by an investigation that
has been made Of the situation.
According to the Cass fuel admin
istrator, A, b. Blakemore, the prices
on anthracite are not unduly high
when the apparent shortage is taken
into consideration, but the prices on
bituminous are extremely high with
the supply seemingly plentiful. ac-
cording to estimates made in the coal
trade journals.
Anthracite Nut $11.25.
In explaining these conditions.
Blakemore stated that the price fixed
on anthracite nut coal under the
Presidents order Is $3.50 at the mine
with an allowance to the jobbers Of
80 cents profit on 2,240 pounds. which
makes the cost at primary lake port
Buffalo, 1856 on 1000 pounds. The
cost of transportation of hard coal is
"a cents more than that on bitumin-
Gus grades. Allowing $3.50 to cover
all transportation charges, loading
and unloading, which added to $4!55
makes the cost at the head Of the
lakes sos. The price as quoted by
the jobbers to the local dealers is
from 50 to 20 cents higher. making
the cost to the local dealer $7.55 to

statistics issued by the North Dako-
Ia State board OF health.
Pneumonia Reaps Harvest.
Following closely on the heels OF
the grim reaper is pneumonia which
claimed 20 persons during the quar-
ter. Cancer was responsible for SIS
deaths, and accidental violence so.
Typhoid, which North Dakota
cities and villages have been lighting,
claimed z. This is one of the inter-
esting features of the report for it
shows what the cities and villages
are doing to combat this disease
which for the corresponding three
months in 1915 claimed IL persons.
North Dakota cities have been
priding themselves on their pure

water showing the least turbidity is
rushed to the state laboratories, at
the University Of North Dakota for

Deaths Total 1000.
Deaths during the quarter totaled
1000 compared with 81 for the three
months in 1917. The greatest NOR
tality rate was under one year, there
being 1873 compared with 1S9 a year

SIS a year ago.
The state public health labora-
tories were opened In 1907 and dur
ing that year 1926 examinations of
all kinds were made with appropria-
tons for this work amounting to ST.

is shown in the report just issued

14,415 examinations were made with
an appropriation of $4,000 and for
the last three months, or during the
quarter covered by the report, 5,1l9
examinations were conducted and
the appropriation amounted to $12,-
