BURNING Ignite COAL TWICE
PATRIOTIC DUTY IN OUR STATE,
SAYS ENGINEER JAY ". BLISS
Every Used Build Up Our Resofcos ard
Saves at Least ThreeFou rtls Ton Of Eastern Coal
for Use Where It's Needed

s"The Ignite industry is coming in
to it's own, fastened by war condt
tions," says State Engineer jay v.
Bliss. thousands have burne2 lig-
mite this year who never did 5ef.rc,
and, having learned how, will con.
tinue its use. The question is not
will the Ignite mining industry be
developed beyond the demands that
will be made on ito but Can it keep
up with the demand?'
"Lignite as source of power is
next to water power From an eco
nomical standpoint, this means much
to the cities of this state 1t means
tina THEY have the opportunity of be-
will when other controlling ',,nditlons
are met. The opportunity exists.
Let me add THAI the use OF Ignite
not only helps build up our resources
in this state, but it is a patriotic duty.
Every ton of Ignite burned means at
least three .fourths of ton OF coal Of
suitable grades saved fer the use OF
the big factories, steamships, for rail
roads and for use across the sea. 1t
means cars released for other pur-
poses. It gives North Dakota, already
blessed with the privilege of doing it's
full share toward helping to win the
war, still another opportunity to
serve.

has almost inexhaustible supplies of

proper packing for shipment, accord
ing to reports to the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. The exact percentage
of rabbits condemned is not known,
but in one shipment recently received
in Washington, D. c., consisting of 80
rabbits. packed in a box, all but 5
were condemned. On the day this
shipment was received rabbits were
selling for 81 each on the Washington
market.
The unusually warm weather that
has prevailed for several weeks, to-
gether with improper packing for
shipment, is held responsible for the
loss of a great portion of this food.
