county Nonpartisans, as had been gen.
orally expected, and in spite OF the
prediction of Chairman S. J. Nagel
Of the Morton County Republican cen
trail committee, to the contrary, NOM
mated Rep. F. w. Mees of Glen Ullin
for the state senatorship from the

PROFIT MARGIN
IN COAL LEFT
More Than IS Per Cent of the
Mines May Sell Coal at
Lower Prices

Washington. d. c., March 12.-Re
ductions in coal prices announced by
the tuel administration will not result
in any material loss of production in
the opinion of officials who approved
the changes. Fair profit has been as
sured to more than 95 per cent OF
the mines in each case, they say the
remaining small number are expected
to readjust their operating costs to
permit them to continue business with
out loss. =, - ,-.. .,
Two reasons have been found by
the fuel administration for the high
operating costs which place a few
mines outside the prices fixed. One Is
peculiar physical situations, which
make the mining more expensive, and
the other is unwise expenses, such as
high salaries, heavy royalties or care
less management Many of the mines
are expected to put changes into ef-
feet which will not only enable them
to mine coal at the government prices,
but will be OF benefit when peace is
restored and government regulation
ends. Should any of the mines close
down, the Increased production from
the mines of low operating costs Is
expected to more than compensate

humber OF registrants in class in
stead of population. For the purposes
OF computation, 100000 men will be
considered as composing the second
draft, although no, such number will
be called to the colors at any one
time Men in deferred classifications,
the provost marshal general announc.
ed, would be called in small numbers
as we'll as men in class for the pur-
pose of utilizing special technical qua
lifications.
The provost marshal general makes
the definite statement, however, that
there will be no sudden withdrawal of
great numbers OF men from industry
and agriculture during the coming
summer, but that they will be drawn
in relatively small groups spread
throughout the year. TO give the ex-
act numbers, he says, will be to give
the enemy military information.
Expected in April
While General Crowder sets no time
in his statement 1t has been stated
previously that supplies and equip
ment for the men of the second draft
would become available in April, and
action on the desired legislation is ex-
pected before that time. The first
calls are expected soon afterward.
