FHbtnos Loyalty to H. S.
UnquestiOned Declares Missionary

There is no question OF the loyalty
Of the natives Of the Philippine Is
lands to the United States in this
war, declared Miss Olivia Johnson, a
missionary from Iloilo, Visayan Is
land, who is spending several days
in Fargo, speaking at the different
Baptist churches in the interests of
her work. In the 20 years that the
United States have had a part in
the government Of these islands they
have accomplished truly remarkab BILE
results in comparison to what other
countries had done in the years that
the islands were under their con-
troll. The Filipino is deeply appre-
ciative Of this and Is now ready to
stand behind the United States in
everything. He is as anxious to find
out the latest war reports as the ma
tive American, and whatever is in
his power to do to help win the war,
will be done willingly and gladly.
Perhaps in no other foreign coun-
try have the missionaries and other
agencies for the development Of the
country and the people, met with
such hearty cooperation by the ma
tives, as they have in the Philip
pines, continued Miss johnson. They
are highly intelligent and recognized
that these people we're bringing to
them what they had wanted for so
long time. The government and
mission schools are now overcrowd-
ed, and children have to be turned
away from these institutions, be-
cause they have no facilities for
caring for them. The Filipino is
rapidly accepting the standards of
civilized living, and with the ex-
ception Of a few tribes, all the old

The station, at which Miss John
son is located, supplies one Of the
largest tribes on the islands. A
hospital, in which there are two
American doctors, two American
nurses and 80 native nurses, a boys
school and girls school in which
there are II American teachers with
number Of native assistants are
maintained there.
The work of these schools Is to fit
the natives for teaching work. in
order that they may go out to the
remote islands where white teachers
cannot go, and spread the educa-
tional work.
Miss Johnson, who is a Minnea-
polls girl, is now enjoying her first
furlough since taking up her work
in the islands five years ago and
she has secured special permission
from the mission board, to remain in
the United States for period. of
two years. Miss Johnson will enter
the Minnesota university this fall to
take a special course in educational
work, that she may be better fitted
to carry on her work at the school.
On Saturday, Miss Johnson will so
to Grand Forks, where she will give
a series Of addresses and will then

and to encourage the enrolment OF

There was a large number Of young

morning inquiring about the work and
it is expected that the greater part

Entitled To 1900 Tons Or
Basis OF Present Deliv-
cries At Docks

Leading cities Of eastern North
Dakota have received only about {
per cent Of their share OF the 1918
allotment OF anthracite. though
about 80 per cent Of the whole sea =
sons coal supply for the entire ter
ritory supplied through the Head OF
the Lakes dock companies has been
received and distributed from theBe
Fargo. with a normal anthra-
cite consumption Of $4,000 tons
a year. which would be reduced
to l4,400 tons under the federal
fuel administration regulation
which gives North Dakota 80 per
cent as much coal as 1t had last
year, has to date received only
about 400 tons Of hard coal. On
the basis Of a third OF all coal
handled through the ports, Far
go should have received approx
imately $500 tons Of coal.
These facts were announced today
by J. P. Hardy, secretary Of the
Fargo Commercial club, in making
public letter address to /. P. Baker,
federal fuel administrator for North
Dakota, asking that he issue a blan-
ket order to the dock companies, re-
curing the proport!onate distribu-
ton Of anthracite to all communities
in North Dakota, giving to each
community its proportion of coal as
1t is shipped out Of the Head of the

Dear sir: In accordance with no
tees heretofore sent out, the follow
ing clubs sent representatives to the
namely: Grand Forks. Wahpeton,
Jamestown, Valley City and Fargo.
Each city, except Wahpeton, sent two
delegates, so that there were nine
representatives at the meeting.
AS a result Of the conference. I was
requested to write you stating that IL
was the unanimous opinion Of those
present at the meeting that every
community in the state Of North Da-
kota will absolutely need 80 per cent
of the quantity OF anthracite that
they consumed the winter Of 1916
1917.
1t was, also, the unanimous request
of those present that / should state to
you that they consider the situation
serious. inasmuch as the communities
in question have received so far an
average OF 8 per cent Of the anthra-
cite needs Of the community.
! am requested, therefore, to urge
on you to take Immediate steps to the
end that the dock companies be In
structed to fill orders in each COM
munity in the state to the so per cent
limit. The meeting felt that this
should be done at once owing to the
