vost Marshal r. H. Crowder to the ef-
feet hat no more formal calls for de-
ferred percentages OF the present
draft quota would be sent out before
February Is. makes it possible for
more draft registrants to enlist in the

Der Is.
The navy is greatly in need of APP
prentice n the quota of 500 for
this district being far from filled.
This number must be obtained by
February %. Men enlisted now are
being sent home on furlough, subject
to call, because the training stations
are filled. Pay. $3.50 a month To

RECORDS CAN'T
Be RETURNED
Judge Amidon at Fargo De-
cides That Brewery Rec
ords be Held Temporarily

United States District Judge Charles
F. Amidon, sitting at Fargo. this aft
ernoon entered an order to. show
cause why the books and records of
the East, Grand Forks Brewery COM
pany, now in possession of the federal
authorities, should not be presented
to the Grand Forks district court be-
fore being returned to the, Polk coun-
ty, Minnesota, authorities. :.
: A few days ago Attorneys Bangs &
Robbins, counsel for the defendants
in the brewery cases. were ordered to
show cause why these books should
not be retained by, the federal court.
In view Of the fact that the question
had been discussed and argued time
and again. the attorneys felt that it
would be unnecessary for them TO
present further arguments before the
United States court, and it was pre-
stunned here this afternoon that Judge
Amidon granted the order Of the
North Dakota attorney generals Of
flee for the retention Of the books, in
the absence of opposition on the part
of the defendants.
Neither Nj. Bangs nor MI. Robbins

that his presence there was. partly at
least, in connection with the brewery

PRICE FIXED
FOR Ignite
AT The Mine
Fuel Administration Takes
Steps to Encourage Sale
al. North Dakota Product

The state branch of h United
States fuel administration today is
sued an order fixing the price of lig-
mite coal at the mines, and a state
ment regarding this was made by r.
3. Griffith, chairman of the local dis
trict fuel board.
Mr.. Griffith stated that the pre-
pared sizes of Ignite o at h mines
hereafter would be sold at $3.50 "a
ton; the so-called run of the mine"
Ignite would be sold at $2.25:, steam
Jumps. the large-sized Ignite, will
cost So. and screenings, 1928.
These. of course are not the prices
at which the North Dakota coal will,
dealers, but it is thought that the
fixing Of the price of Ignite at the.
mines may mean a reduction OF be-
tween IS and so per cent in retail
sale. The fuel administration has
not heard Of exorbitant prices being
4 charged by retailers and so has not
deemed it necessary to fix n retail
price, but it is quite probable that a
considerable drop in the price to the
consumer will be registered here.
Not Much Ignite Used.
Local dealers agreed today that
ignite cannot he considered a COM
iIofCldI CO1lIJkOOlIS III lIIS usual SlIS
Of that term; it would therefore be
impractical just at this time to calcu-
late to what extent the action of the
fuel administration would be reflected
in the local retail situation.
Quite apart from that. it was re-
marked that very little Ignite is be
ing sold here. One dealer estimated
this afternoon that only about a half
dozen carloads have come to the city
@,r{o0 tho SR.infn,> con con ca far and
most of that came at the time when
the anthracite situation looked cry
threatening. 1t appears from various
statements made that people generally
have not familiariZed themselves with
the advantages of using Ignite. n
this fact has caused local representa-
tives of the fuel administration to
again point out that Ignite is a very
economical and good fuel which can
be used with good results in practice
ally any kind of stoves or furnaces.
Helping the Nation.
In this connection. District Admin
"It is necessary to emphasize the
fact that more Ignite should be used.
It will be of benefit to the consumers
individually and Furthermore it will
help materially in relieving the ma
tional situation.
From sources in all parts Of the
country come complaints that the fuel
situation presents difficulties which
had never before been experienced.
North Dakota is not in the very worst
situation, but we have no means of
telling how long our supply. either
on hand or in sight. will hold out.
For that reason it becomes a duty to
the state as we'll as to the. nation to
make the fullest possible use of our
w state products.
"NoY it happens that we have i'm
mense Ignite resources on hand. We
certainly should use them. The fact
that people in a general way seem
rather difident about resorting to
Ignite may be accounted for by un.
familiarity with the properties of tina,
particular kind of fuel. We should
be brought up to use Ignite.
THE step which the administration
