and years at it's present rate of con-
sumption. That estimate may be dis
counted very literally and still there
will remain an enormous supply OF
valuable fuel which is not more than
about 200 miles distant from the most
eastern counties of the state.
The fuel problem of the northwest
is, however, by no means solved by
the mere presence of this coal. The
coal is there, but there are difficulties
attending it's use which have hitherto
made it impossible to sell native lig-
mite in competition with eastern coal
except within a very short distance of
the mine. Ignite is low in it's heat
content. Freshly mined it contains
"a large percentage of water. The
transportation cost per heat unit,
therefore, is high. If the water is
allowed to evaporate, thus reducing
transportation cost, the coal Stacks
and crumbles almost to dust. Because
of the presence of a high percentage
Of volatile gases, this Stacking process
is continued during combustion. The
result is the clogging of drafts while
the fire is left undisturbed, and the
escape of unburned coal through the
CRATES when it is shaken.
All of these conditions have con-
tributed to limit the use of Ignite to
a small field near the point of origin.
The researches of Dean Babcock of
the University School of Mines have
resulted in the application of meth
DDS which overcome most of these diff
ficulties. In the briquetting plant
which he has devised Ignite is dried,
powdered, heated until the more vola-
tile gases are driven off by means of
the addition of a suitable binder and
compression under heat it is formed
into briquettes which compare favor
ably in heating and burning qualities
with good grades of anthracite.
The experience this year ought to
direct public attention forcibly to this
subject. Hereafter we are likely to
understand somewhat clearly that the
fuel problem is not confined to the
price of coal, but that it is intimately
related to the supply. In North Da-
kota we have supply which, for the
purposes of many generations, is un-
limited. The utilization of this local
supply will solve the fuel problem
for us; it will keep within the state,
for the promotion of local enterprises,
millions of dollars of capital which
now 60 east; and it will result in the
manufacture of the numerous by-pro-
ducts incidental to the briquetting of
coal and from the utilization for the
generation of electric current of the
gases which are liberated during the
process Grand Forks Herald.

"SEARSR0EBUCK" Wife
RETURNS TO CHICAGO
Hill Special Matrimonial Venture APP
parently Did Not Turn Out Well
for Ward County Bachelor.

According to reports, the Hill Mat
rimonial Agency which used it's influ-
ence to furnish lonely North Dakota
bachelors with Chicago wives, has re-
ceived a severe jolt, according to re-
ports.
Shortly after the Hill special last
winter, which carried hundreds of
well-to-do bachelors to the national
stock show, letters came pouring in by
the thousands from forlorn maidens
who intimated that they were in a re-
ceptive mood to consider matters of a
matrimonial nature. Chicago papers
had printed pictures Of some of the
most likely prospects,, with their adj
dresses, and scores of young women
inserted advertisements in the COL
umns of the Chicago papers, in hopes
of catching husbands. A good look
ing young woman from Chicago en-
shared thrifty husband living in the
western part of Ward county and
wrote letters back to the Chicago pa
pers telling about the wonders of a
life on North Dakota farm, with the
chickens and the pigs, with the big
husky husband, the comfortable home,
and the garden, the wonderful sun
rise, etc., and advised her friends to
get busy and come out to make life
happier for the forlorn North Dakota
bachelors as we'll as for themselves.
The Independent has been informed
that the glamour after few weeks
has apparently worn off, and that the
young woman has taken the train
back to her old home. Friend husband
is said to face divorce proceedings
and tits said that he had to place
$500 mortgage on his farm to get
Friend Wife to sign a release. The
home product appears to be the bet
ter after all. It doesn't pay to pat
ronize Sears Roebuck, even to secure
a wife,

1t will be strange if fuel conditions

LEMONS BRING OUT
THE HIDDEN BEAUTY
Make this lotion for very little
cost and just see
for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness
and the hidden beauty? But lemon
Juice alone is acid, therefore irritat-
ing, and should be mixed with orch
ard white this way. Strain through
a fine cloth the juice of two fresh
lemons into bottle containing about
three ounces of orchard white, then
shake we'll and you have a whole
quarter pint of skin and complexion
lotion at about the cost one usually
pays for a small jar of ordinary cold
cream. Be sure to strain the lemon
juice so no pulp gets into the bottle,
then this lotion will remain pure and
fresh for months. When applied daily
to the face, neck, arms and hands it
should help to bleach, clear, smooth
en- and beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very lit
tie cost and the grocer has the lem.

day of next week to do honor to men
selected for the army from Robson

every county in the State to do hon
or to these men who are called to
serve the country in posts OF danger
in this world crisis, called to bea1
arms in a high and holy cause against
powers that menace the liberties OF
peoples the world over.
Let the people Of Robson gather
in force and assure these men that
they are held in high honor and that
while they are fighting at the front
those whose lot it is to remain al
home will help in every way in their
power in the great struggle to make
the world a safe place for liberty,

MOVEMENTS OF FOOD STUFFS
To be Diverted to Gulf and South At
lantic Ports TO Relieve Congestion
of Railroads and Ports In East

of Railroads and Ports in East
Washington Dispatch, Aug. 20.
Diversion to Gulf and South At
lantic ports of virtually all move
ments of fodstuffs destined for ex-
port to Europe is planned as a gov
eminent War measure to relieve con-
gestlon OF railroads and ports in the
East.
The plan will be worked cut by the
shipping board in cooperation with
shippers, ship owners and port au-
thorities. The shipping board will
name soon a general traffic direc-
tor who will be put in charge Of the
program.
The shipping board hopes to have
the plan working by winter. Offic-
lals who have given the subject
thought declare the proposal will add
rs to 30 per cent to the efficiency
OF American railway systems and will
CO away with the present congestion
OF freight in Northeastern ports.
I The chief advantage claimed for
the arrangement suggested is that
export food, largely a Western and
| Middle Western product, will get q
shorter haul and that munitions ard
other manufactured products, turned
| out largely in the East, will not b.
delayed in shipment while awaiting
their turn with raw products.
Five ports in the South will be
made the chief loading points. The,
are Galveston, Port Arthur, New Or
leans. Savannah and Charleston.
Under the traffic director thu
shipping board will name three shin
ping directors, one for trans-Atlanti,
trade, another for South America,
trade, and a third for the Pacific.
