Is Year Passionate.

Twenty-Five years ago last Wednes-
day, Rev. Hafermann was installed
as pastor of the German Lutheran
church OF Clara City and has
served as pastor continuously ever
since. 1t was therefore most fitting
that the members Of the church should
celebrate with their beloved pastor
such noteworthy event. although
the celebration came as a complete
surprise to him. During all these
years he has ministered to their spirit
ual wants, baptized and married their
casions and sympathized with them,
In their sorrows and been wise
counselor In time Of stress. Preaching
and teaching during all these years
the pure and unadulterated religion
Of Jesus Christ, he has set q worthy
example to his flock what a model
Christian and follower of the lowly
Nazerene should be. Is it any wonder
that they admire and love him and
isn't it true as Rev. Lechner said in
his address that such men can be
classed as the truly great although
the world may not know them as
famous? =
In these times of war and stress
and when his country is at war with
that Of his fathers, Rev. Hafermann
set fine example of loyalty to the
country Of his adoption. Although
born in Germany, he has taken firm
stand for the country OF his children
and has not only supported the vari-
GUS war activities and bond loans but
has urged his CONGREGATION To do "a

vote in Mondays county seat cleo
ton was: Carson. $50; Leith, $40:
Brisbane. 159; Elgin. 14S; New Leip-
sig, 81; Keil, S. Carson was saved
partly by the fact hat there were
six ~contenders in the field, although
h county e received 20 more
votes than its three nearest rivals,
and only 90 votes less than all its
competitors combined.
Carson was named the county seat
by the first commission of Grant
county, appointed by Governor Hanna
just before the close Of his admin
~istration in 1916. 1t was known at
the time of their appointment, when
the same towns which entered the
conest this year were competing for
the county seat, that the commission
ers named favored Carson. Soon
after the selection of Carson as the
county seat, the Grant county board
began the erection Of a new court
house. which recently was completed
after a spirited legal battle.

"Clean Coal" Order
Applies To Ignite

Bismarck, N. D., June 28.-The bu-
reau of prices of the United States
fuel administration in Washington has
advised State Fuel Administrator
Baker that the "clean coal' order ap-
plies to Ignite mined in North Da-
kota as we'll as to bituminous coal,
and that for the general purposes of
the fuel administration, Ignite is
subject in every case to the same rules
as bituminous coal. AS previously an
nounced therefore, the ten cent re-
duction in the price of bituminous
coal. made as a part of the recent
settlement of the railroad fuel prices
controversy, applies to Ignite mined
in North Dakota, Notwithstanding
that little Ignite is used by the rail-
roads. it having beer figured that a
general saving to the mining indus
tries by the equal distribution of cars
provided for in the settlement will
amount to ten cents per ton. In this
connection, however, DR.. Garfield has
announced that or August 81 next he
will have before him cost reports
showing the effect of the equal distri-
button of cars and, with such infor-
nation at hand, will revise prices in
districts where it is shown that the re-
duction of ter cents has caused hard

London. June 28.-Milk products
are in great demand in England. De-
livery of a seventy-pound cheese to
the home of Mrs. Eileen Johnston,
wife of Major Campbell Johnston, at
tracted so much attention among the
neighbors in Brentwood, a London.
suburb, that a food inspector investi-
gated and Mrs. Johnston was taken to

boarding food.
Mrs. Johnston said the cheese had
been sent her by a Dorsetshire friend
and that it was much larger than she
had anticipated. The cheese had been
cut and distributed among Mrs. John
ston's friends, but as the inspector
found forty-six pounds of sugar and
twenty-three pounds Of macaroni in
the house Mrs. Johnston was fined on
that account.
