NORTH DAKOTA
LIGNTTEAVERTED
COAL SHORTAGE
Rescued State From Con-
ditions Now Confront
ing the East
BURNETT TELLS
OF BIG FIELDS
Bids for Location of Bri-
quetting Plant For
Dickinson

THE reason that the people Of the
Btate Of North Dakota do not realize
the seriousness Of the coal shortage
in the east was explained by ATTY.
wv +. Burnett OF Dickinson, who
speaking before the Equity meeting
at the auditorium late Friday after
noon, stated that the Ignite beds Of
North Dakota and the big output
for this year rescued the state from
conditions that the east is now
experiencing.
Attorney Burnett is one Of a dele
cation of Dickinson people who came
to Fargo to attend the Tri-State
Graingrowers' convention and to ac-
uuaint the people of the state with
the great possibilities Of Ignite in
the western part Of North Dakota.
Rumors have been current that a
private corporation is being formed
and that some Of the members Of the
Equity Cooperative exchange are
greatly interested in the venture,
which is to manufacture Ignite
briquettes. Attorney Burnett and
the members OF his delegation came
no Fargo to tell the Equity members

OPPOSE ATTEMPTS TO
BREAK SCHOOL SYSTEM
National Child Labor Committee
Asks Support in North Dakota of
Federal Child Labor Law,

The national child labor commit
tee which for 1S years has fought
for the welfare and development of
American children. is sending litera-
ture to the libraries in North Dakota
on, What Shall We Do For the Chill
dren in Time OF War?
fragrant violations of child labor
are reported from North Dakota, in
some instances, children ofs school
age being forced to remain out of
school to perform burdens OF a man
The national child labor commit
tee urges people of the state to op-
pose all attempts to break down the
school system either by relaxing en-
forcement of compulsory education
laws, or by cutting down school
funds.
1t is stated that the education
situation in England has become so
serious that even in the midst of the
war she is considering a bill to es-
tablish a compulsory 14-year school
limit without exemptions.
The national child welfare COM
mittee asks the enforcement Of the
federal child labor law which went
into effect Sept. /, 1917.
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1918-01-19


and those interested in this move
ment that the people OF Stark coun-
ty win do anything reasonable 70
get The location Of such a plant in
that city.
Attorney Burnett asserted that the
ignite deposits around Dickinson
amount to 100000 tons under each
section of land in a circle drawn rs
miles around the city Of Dickinson
He stated that the johnson Briquet-
ting plant at Scranton, N. d., had
proved bigger success than
the promoters expected. He said
that the Ignite underlying each acre
OF land In the T5-mile radius OF
Dickinson could be sold for / cent a
ton and the value Of that acre OF
land would amount to more than
the highest price asked for an acre
Of land in the Red river valley.
NJ. P. johnson of Tolley, n. D., a
member of the state board OF rail-
road commissioners and prominent
in Equity circles of the state, follow
ed the remarks Of Attorney Burnett
with statements to the effect that the
average farmer and the business man
of the state do not realize the great
possibilities of Ignite in the state
and it can only be drawn before
their eyes now when they read OF
such conditions in the eastern cities,
where by the order of the President
all factories east Of the Mississippi
river, including the states Of Mime
sofa and Louisiana must close.
He stated that he had heard or
the briuuetting machine and the
manufacturing of finished products
from rough coal and Stag, and be-
lieved that the proposition which
Attorney Burnett placed before the
EQUITY men was worthy or the at
tention of the Equity members.

CHIROPODISTS ASK new
MEDICAL CORPS FEATURE
Appointment of Men From Their
Profession to Aid Soldiers Will
Be Asked of Congress.

The appointment OF chiropodists
to the United States army with the
rank of second lieutenant, to be un-
der the direction of the surgeon gen.
eral Of the national army. is asked
in petitions which DIR. G. w. Geary
Of Fargo has placed in his office for
signatures.
The chiropodists will shortly pre-
sent to both houses Of congress a
bill which calls for the establishment
Of a special corps in the medical de-
partment Of the army for the care
and the treatment of the feet Of the
soldiers. The law at the present time
relating to the affairs of the medical
corps does not provide for officers
below the grade of first lieutenant
and legislation therefore has become
necessary.
A committee Of orthopedic sur
geons belonging to the medical re-
serve corps to whom the matter was
referred by the surgeon general
state that there is actual need for
this service, and the pedriatrists of
the land are prepared to supply that
need. 1t is said that soldiers who
are foot sufferers are inefficient and
efficiency being the order OF the day,
it seems but proper that the soldiers
Of this country should have this
service to the best advantage.
The committee finds that for CEN
turtles the foot has been a negligible
factor in the instruction given at
medical schools and in consequence
the medical man in the army or out
Of it is unequIpped to care for what
are known as minor foot LESSONS,
which are likely to terminate in
graver body ills. Pediatry is point
ed to as a science, Its practice has
been legalized in twenty different
states in the union, and shortly there
will be a law controlling the prac-
tice of this collateral branch of
medicine wherever civilized people
dwell.
The National Association Of Chi
the passage of law appointing pc
diatrists to the army will constitute
a great boon to the boys in khaki,
for those people in civil life who are
incapacitated by foot ills can SYM
pathize with the soldier whose trou-
bles are greater and more frequent
than those of the average layman.
A pack of sixty pounds on his back,
strenuous marches become a night
mare to him whose feet are not
sound and are not kept sound.
At a joint conference of the legis-
Iative and army service committees
held on Dec. 16 in New York, it was
decided to place the matter directly
before congress in the form OF a bill.
DR.. Geary is member Of the ma
tional association.

SENATOR WATSON .OENOUNCES THE
 OVERMAN BILL
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. lS.- Provisions of the OSernan Dill gir- irg President Wilson wide powers to reorganize the war branches of the government were denounced as "un- constitutional and autocratic" by Senator Watson today in the course of a speech in support of the senate craft ot the administration railroad bill.
 The Overman bill,' declared Sen. Watson. ''confers upon the presiden, rnheard of powers, but the most rep rehensible feature of that measure, in my judgment, is the one that pro- vides that this autocratic authority shall continue for one year after the termination of the war. Why this provision? Why seek in that measure, as in ire railroad bill, to perpetuate power asked to prosecute the war in- to the days when there shall be nc war? These are war powers. They are asked for war purposes. They are not constitutional; they are mol in harmony with the spirit of our in- stitutions: they are irreconcilably op- posed tc every theory of our govern ment, they are un-American on any other hypothesis
