NORTH DAKOTA MUST UTLlZE IT'S
OWN COAL SUPPLY; EDUCATORS
G0H0ME AND MOBILIZE FOR WORK

North Dakota must utilize its "
o supply during the coming fall
ana winter, and Ignite coal should
pc ordered at once for delivery In the
utunn or as soon as the railroads
OF the state can handle the ship

This was one Of the most important
statements brought out at the extra

De necessary for the schools of the
state to do In serving the best inter-
ests OF the state and the nation in the
present crisis.
Big Task Before State.
The great car shortage caused by
the removal Of freight boats from the
lakes, and the unusual demands for
transportation made on the railroads
by the government makes 1t neces-
sary for North Dakota, as we'll as ev-
cry other state Of the union, to take
carr OF Its own GOAL supply. A repre-
sentative Of the federal bureau of
mines made the situation clear t o the
head OF the school of mines at the
university. There is no danger Of q
Goa! shortage in North Dakota, nor
Is there any need to anticipate great
hardship in the change from the an
thracite or the bituminous Goals to
the Ignite coal which is found in vast
abundance in the western part Of the
state. Ignite coal is found in North
Dakota in quantities sufficient to sup
ply this state for hundreds of years
yet to come, and 1t is Of such q uual-
ity as to be of great value for either
cooking or heating purposes.

There will be some delay also in

homes who will register by mail. The
ofncials Of every state and town, how
ever. have been authorized to issue
cards to such men in their commune

plication to home precincts, the for

Artillery Needed in Europe.
All cavalry units of the National
Guard will be drafted ~dismounted. 1t
is regarded as probable that a number
Of the organizations will be offered an
opportunity to be converted into field
artillery forces. as the gun divisions
must be supplemented without delay.
The National Guard is far below its
proper quota of artillery and even the
regular proportion Of guns per regi-
ment must be increased because Of the
nature Of the fighting in Europe.
