Hard Declares Ignite Must
/ Be Utilized by Northwest As
Solution of It's Fuel Problem

! is impossible in a furnace or stove
which is to any extent occupied by
large solid pieces OF raw Ignite
stone which are only burning on the
outside. Broken TO small size the
coal soon becomes ignited through
out the entire mass and gives several
hundred per cent more heat.
Cracking coal at the mine will
require extensive drying yards which
will amply repay the extra handling
by reduced freight on a popularized
product.
Stove manufacturers haye realized
the great future OF western Ignite
and have largely met Its require
ments for special types of stoves,
CRATES and boilers. In his seven
years in state and federal work in
North Dakota, the writer has investi-
gated the Ignite mine resources,
methods Of marketing, manufacture
and use, and freely volunteers to
give any information generally
available on request.

DEMAND CITY
CHANGE THELAW
Ban on Public Dances After
10P. M. Comes To Atten-
ton of Municipality

To make the pool room and dance
hall order Of the Public Safety COM
mission effective it will be necessary
for the Moorhead city council to
amend the present pool room ordin-
ance. AS there are no public dance
halls that come under the order 1t is
not imperative that an ordinance be
adopted.
An ordinance or amendments to an
existing ordinance requires three
readings before the city council. The
proposed ordinance or amendment
must be introduced at a regular
meeting of the council: ten days must
elapse between the subsequent read
ings. This means that the amend
ment cannot be given its first read
ing before the regular meeting OF
city council to be held Dec. 10; and
the change cannot be made effective
before the first of the year.
Section four Of the present ordin-
ance reads:
1T shall be unlawful for any own
er or keeper of a public pool or bill
lard hall to keep open for the pur-
pose of playing, using or otherwise
operating said pool or billiard tables
on any day between IL O'clock p. m.
and s o'clock a. M"
The order Of the commission, relat-
ing to pool rooms, follows:
From and after the date of this
order all licensed pool halls and pool
rooms, billiard halls and billiard
rooms within the state OF Minnesota
shall be closed and kept closed on
Sundays and shall be closed and kept
closed on each secular day from 10
O'clock p. m, and shall not open prior
to 8 o'clock a. m. of the next secular
day"
That the order applies to every part
Of the state is shown by the follow
ing mandatory clause with which il
ends:
THE council or other governing
body Of each and every municipality
Of the state shall forthwith enact an
appropriate, ordinance or ordinances
embodying the provisions hereof, and
providing suitable penalties for vio-
lations."

EMPIRE FANS
SEE LAST MIX !
UNDER OLDLAW
Legal Control of Boxing In
New York Goes With
Fraley Law
(By Assoclated Press.l

New York, Nov. 2O.-After six years
of boxing under legal control. the
game of gloved fisticuffs has again
been abandoned throughout New York
state. The last bouts under the pro-
visions of the Frawley law were held
Nov. II, and such contests as may be
held in the future will probably be
staged under the so-called club mem
bership plan. An idea of the popu-
larity of boxing, even under the re-
strictions imposed by the law Just re-
pealed, may be gained from the fact
that the gate receipts during the six
years of the ring game amounted to
about $5,00O,000, and the states share
was close to 100000. .
The official returns for 1917 are not
available at this time, but the COM
mission reports for the years between
1911 and 1915 show that $4,502,2S0 was
paid in at the gates of the various
boxing clubs located throughout the
state, and that the revenue derived
under the legislature tax amounted
to $262,263. The estimated receipts
for the present year are placed at
close to 100000, and the tax returns
at about $4,000.
During the period of boxing under
the Frawley law two titles changed
hands as the result of knockouts
scored in the rings of New York city.
AL. Mccoy wrested the middleWeight
title away from George Chip in April,
in one round. Mccoy in turn lost his
title in a sensational bout with Mike
ODowd in the last big bout under the
Frawley law, when he was knocked
out by the st. Paul boxer in the sixth
round of their bout held Nov. Ia, 1917.
The other championship won and lost
was the lightweight title, which
passed from Freddie Welsh to Benny
Leonard earlier in the present year
when the latter scored a clean knock
out of the Welshman in their third
meeting in this city.
other bouts of particular interest
were the Willard-Moran, and the Nc
FarIand-Gibbons matches, which set a
record in recent year gate receipts.
Probably the most exciting boxing
event under the recently defunct law
was the X. o. Brown-Matt Wells bat |
tie. This was the first big contest held
under the Frawley rules, and appar-
emily every follower of boxing for |
miles about New York was eager to
crowd his way into Madison Square |
garden for the initial clash. The re
suit was a near-riot, calls for police |
and legaliZed boxing began
under discouraging auspices. For all |
round excitement and execution the |
Wells-Al. PalZer battle at
the garden was probably the most |
one staged during the en-
tire six years of boxing.

The greatest sport surprise of re-
cent date has been the success and
popularity of football this season
when IL had been thought that the
game was in for a dull time. With
Harvard, Yale and Princeton out of
It, very few believed that anything
could happen>on the gridiron this fall
that would be worth our attention.
But the game has. iourished in
handsomer way than for some seasons
and perhaps it's popularity in the
army and navy camps is one reason
for it. The environments have gather
ed together some of the most brill
liant lineups that were ever assem-
bled and football stars we had never
hoped to cheer again are back in the
game and playing as gorgeously as in
their heydey. The schools that have
determined to struggle through the
season in spite of disadvantages have
been given all credit and in several
cases have turned out teams that have
amazed even the most hopeful. Foot
ball undoubtedly is having one of fits
long may 1t wave. Especially when II
is used to develop and direct our SOL
diers of freedom.
Just because the Washington sena-,
tors have nots been making lots of
they are going to retire from the
American league. Ban Johnson says
that he would deplore anything of the
sort and Pres. Ben Minor, of the
Washington club, says that Ben may
be at his ease and that he will have
no reason to do any deploring. Minor
says that the Senators are on a sound
financial basis and do we suppose that
just because they have dropped a few
nickels they are going to get cold feet
and retire2 No such thing. Several
glacial periods will come and go be-
fore the Washington club drops out
Of the American league, says Mr..
Minor.
Walter Johnson has declared that he
would be having a hard pull TO hang
on in the big show if he were never
able to pitch any better than he does
while playing in Boston. Somehow or
other when Walter goes UP against
terrible time of 1t. He beat the Red
Sox in the final series in Boston this
past season, but ii was the first time
such a thing had happened in three
years.
Ira Thomas. Connie Mack's right
hand man, tells about a bonehead play
he once pulled himself and Ii didn't
happen on the diamond. It appears
that the Athletics were then the
playing an exhibition game in the
south. al dinner had been arranged in
their honor by some OF the towns
leading citizens and all Of the players
were In attendance. Ira was called
upon for a speech and he arose to ex-
plain at some length the common
sense arid wisdom shown By the ball
player who completely lays or the
booze. And after IL was all over 1t
was brought to Ira's attention that
the wet element of the town had been
the players hosts.
The time seems to be approaching
when there will no longer be cham
pions in each division of the fight
game. AS things are at present there
are only three undisputed champs
with clear claims to their titles and
these are Johnny Kilbane, Bonnie
Leonard and Jess Willard AS it be-
comes more and more apparent that
neither Kilbane nor willard will do
much more fighting Il would seem
that the titles OF both Of these class
ea would have to Sc fought for again.
