Sift the Ashes
SAGE the Coal

Householders are requested to bend
every effort to conserve fuel and, in
particular to sift their ashes. One
man has said that he obtained sui
ficient coal from twelve barrels Of
ashes TO heat his home for a month
during last winter. There is q, wealth.
Of coal in the earth. Many million
more tons than were mined last year
will be taken from it's depths this
year, but beyond certain limits, IN

cilittes Coal must be saved in every
home in the land and every fraction
of every ton of fuel must yield its
full heating, lighting and power value.

measure of devotion in small things
done faithfully and well. Let every.
one do his best to help.

them produce their full amount.
President Weld also lauded the
pioneers of the Red river valley, who
had the courage to brave the hard
ships of the prairies and thus es-
tablished the two great states of
Minnesota and North Dakota, which
will ever remain a perpetual monu-
ment to them.
Henry S. Saunders Of Fargo, was
next on the program and he sang
Aud Lang Syne," and then re-
sponded to an encore. Miss Bertha
Hagen was his accompanist also.
Mrs. Lelores FitZsimons was
among the soloists Of the afternoon
and she sang when The Boys Come

Evening" Miss Hagen was her ac-
companist also.
Judge A. T. Cole in his address
declared that it was wrong to cherish
the idea that because a man is a
German he should be made to
suffer from this war forever. He
wished to impress the fact that it
is not tbe German people nor their
war, but the military autocracy,
which through no fault of theirs
has gained control Of their govern
ment. The speaker likened the
Kaiser to the father who rules his
family with a club, the children obey
from fear not from love. The spirit
Of democracy is arising in Germany
today and America is a powerful
factor in bringing that democracy to
a point where it will rise boldly and
demand the rights that rightfully
belong to them. Judge Cole cited a
conversation ne had with the editor
Of a leading paper in Hamburg, dur
ing the year 1911. This editor said
that just as soon as the kaiser took
too much power into his hands, the
people would rise up and overthrow
him, and not only would he lose his

ZONING SYSTEM TO BE
USED TO FIX RATES

Washington. Oct 2S.-The rail-
road administration announced to-
day il had taken steps TO standardize
class rates in the West and South
through proposals to the Interstate
Commerce Commission Of zoning
system. This would tend to wipe out
many regional differences in class
rates dictated by State commissions
and much discussion before the H.
terstate Commerce Commission is ex.
pected before the standardized sys-
TEN is adopted
The new system would involve
some advances. and some reductions
in rates Similar coming methods Of
figuring class rates already are in
effect east Of the Mississippi and
north Of the Ohio and Potomac Riv-
ers.
According 10 this method rates be-
tween certain principal shipping cen
tiers would be established for each Of
the ten classes of freight shipments
Intermediary points then would be
given certain index numbers, denot-
ing the percentage Of the standard
haul to be charged for on the inter-
mediary points.
Intricate details of the proposed
system of charges now are on file
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, which will arrange hearings
later.
II is not the idea that the proposed
scales should apply INTERNATIONALLY;
that is, between two points, one of
which is IS per cent and the other is
in 100 per cent territory The only
