State Saves County
$4,000 in Interest

Bismarck, Feb. '5.-The state of
North Dakota saved Burleigh county
T SO 900 in interest on it's 100000 is
sue of seed and feed bonds Tuesday
afternoon, when it bid them it at four
per cent, about two per cent lower
than the next lowest bid.
The bid came as a surprise to rep
resentatives of a half dozen banks
and bond companies who were here
with tenders said to have ranged
about six per cent. The states bid
was the first opened by the county
commissioners and other prospective
bidders kept their tenders in their
pockets.
The money which will be invested in
the Burleigh county bonds, will come
from the state university and school
lands fund~and will represent about
33 per cent of the amount which is ex-
pected to be available by March 1.
"If all contracts are paid up as due
and our land sales go we'll, we will
have about million in this fund by
March L." said State Auditor Kosit-
zky, a member of the board of uni
versity and school lands. "Under
the laws governing this fund, only
one-third may be invested in farm
loans, and the remainder is to be in
vested in bonds. We should have by
March l, therefore $660,000 or more
for the purchase of county seed and
feed bonds"

ject to termination by either party at
the expiration Of one year from the
date of signing.
Re-exportation to the central pow
ers by Norway was virtually prohib
tied No food stuffs could be sent to
the Central Powers except $4,000 tons
of fish and fish products a year, but
such expectation was prohibited OF

Oils Now Licensed;
Under Administrator

Washington, Feb. Government
control of industry was extended to
oil in proclamation by President
Wilson tonight, putting under license
the manufacture and distribution of
all fuel oils. No mention is made of
other oils or oil products, including
gasoline or kerosene, but they, too,
probably will be put under control
soon.
Authority under the proclamation
is to be vested in Mark L. Requa of
California, recently named as chief of
the fuel Administrations oil division.
Licenses must be obtained before Feb
ruary II by all manufacturers and
distributors whose gross sales of fuel,
including gas oil, amount to more
than 10000 barrels a year.
A series of regulations drawn by the
fuel administration establishes in the
east list of preferential consumers
who must be supplied in the order
they are given regardless OF contracts
outstanding.
Transportation is Reason
Difficulties of transportation, it is
declared, both in the presidents proc
lamation and in a statement prepared
by the fuel administration, make H.
censing necessary that essential in
dustries be supplied. Operation of the
control will put the supplies of the
less essential industries where lack
of transportation creates a shortage.
The preferential list is set forth as
follows:
Railroads and bunker fuel; export
deliveries or shipments for the army
or navy; export shipments for the
navies and other war purposes of the
allies; hospitals where oil is now be-
ing used for fuel; public utilities and
domestic now using fuel oil, including
gas oil; shipyards engaged in govern
ment work; navy yards; arsenals !;
plants engaged in the manufacture,
production and storage of food pro.
ducts; army and navy cantonments
where oil now is being used for fuel.
Industrial consumers engaged in the
manufacture of munitions and other
articles under government orders !;
all other classes.
Exempt f,om Monday Order
In issuing the preferential list, the
fuel administration at the same time
exempted all users of oil from the
| operation of the Monday closing or
der as it has been shown that most
of the oil consumers already were
excepted under previous exemptions
This exemption includes not only the
users Of fuel oils, but also consumers
of all petroleum and petroleum pro
ducts
