knudson Is Specially Fit for -.
the Office of County Judge

X. c.. Knudson of North Star
township, republican candidate for
the office of county Judge Of Burke
county, is not politician-he is a
worker. Instead Of spending all
his time running about the county
calling on the voters he is busily at
work at his farm producing wheat
with which to feed the world during
the war. He of course is spending
a few days now and then for the
purpose of extending his scope of
acquaintance. Mr.. Knudson will
get practically, all the votes cast in
this part Of the county where he is
known, where his past life is like
an open book, and where he is
known as a hard worker, absolutely
fair in all his dealings, and where
his word is as good as his bond.
In other parts of the county where
he is not so we'll known he has
friends who are doing good work
for him, and there is no question
but that he will poll as many votes
as both of his opponents put togeth-
er at the primaries. One big ad-
vantage Mr.. Knudson has over his
opponents is his knowledge of law.
Outside of the regular practicing at
torneys of the county Mr.. Knsdson

and never misses chance to learn
the new methods that are constant

and election are now assured and
the only question is how big his ma
jority will be. Some Of the voters
even go so far as to predict that he
will beat his opponent three to one.

PRICES OF L|CN|TE
HAVE. BEEN E|xED:

The North Dakota Ignite Deal
ers association held a meeting in
Minot last night, for the purpose
of pushing the mining of Ignite
coal to meet the demands of the
country for more fuel. The Unit
ed States fuel administrator has
fixed the price for Ignite coal at
the mines and under the prices
so fixed the operators decided they
could make necessary preparations
to increase the output of their mines
and thereby assist the fuel admin
istration in avoiding a fuel famine.
The prices chich are allowed the
mine operators at the mines are as
follows:
South of the twelfth standard par
allel:
Run of mine 1925.
Prepared sizes $3.50.
Six inch steam lump $500.
Screenings or, slack $1.25.
North of the twelfth standard
parallel:
Run of mine $2.7O.
Prepared sizes $500.
Six inch steam lump $3.50.
Screenings or slack $3.50.
The last quoted prices apply to
Ignite in northwestern North .Da-
kota.
Consumers are requested to make
every possible effort to put in their
entire years supply during the sum-
mer months so that transportation
and storage will not destroy the ef-
ficiency of the mines in the winter.
