Switzerland Refused
N. D. Girl Passport
So She Married There

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 21.-An unusual
experience has come to a graduate OF
the class of 1918 OF Fargo college.
Miss Florence Sell. daughter of Rev.
Herman Sell, prominent as a super
visor of German churches in the
northwest.
In the summer Of 1914, Miss Sell
sailed for Europe with a view to e
tering Berlin university. Soon after,
was was declared and her plans were
interrupted to some extent. Later,
she ent to Switzerland and while
there this country declared war on
Germany.
Miss Sell was anxious to return to
America. but owing to her long resi-
dence in Germany and the fact that
her father had never become natural.
lied. her passport was refused by the
Swiss government. She then attempt
ed to return to Germany, hoping she
might there procure a passport. but
as she still is an American citizen
she was refused aGmittance to that
country.
Miss Sell remained in Switzerland
and that country will now probably
be her permanent home. Word has
been received by her Fargo college
friends h a she Vas recently married
to a young Swiss pastor, with whom
she became acquainted while he was
a student of theology in Berlin.

Old Board of Regents Had
to Pay Their Own
Expenses.

Bismarck, Jan. c1.-In an alleged
TT OF peeve because the supreme court
had declined to give him control Of
the board Of regents. Governor Fra
zier when considering the omnibus
appropriation bill last spring, vetoed
an appropriation Of $1,000 for the
the board. Since hat time the reg
ents have been travelling at their own
expense. the emergency commission
having declined to grant a request Of
the board when Hanna members were
still in control to transfer an unex-
pended appropriation from another
fund and give the regents something
is controlled by Frazier members. and
they will so before the special ses-
sion Of the legislature and request
that they be granted travelling ex-
penses. Immediately following the
organization Of a Frazier board con.
ststing of five Frazier appointees. the
governor voted each member an ap-
preparation for a 2.0oo-mile mileage
book. John Steen a tight on that
sufficient evidence that the Frazier
board was legally constituted. and the
books never were issued. Two men
whom Governor Frazier appointed at
that time. and who would have been
presented with 1000 miles travail at
the states expense. have gain
ed seats on the board Of regents.
Governor Frazier last spring also
vetoed IN appropriation Of $4,000 for
the salary Of the commissioner Of ed
ucation, and $500 for the employment
Of a stenographer to the commission
er. Dr.. f. B. Craighead. shortly after
the expiration of his salary, was
granted an indefinite leave Of absence.
1t is not probable that the Frazier
board will ask him recalled.

{
Twenty Cities Will be In

Fargo, N. D.. Jan. 21.-Twenty of
the principal cities of the state of
North Dakota. will be visited some
time in February by y member of the
committee of six selected by the
United States foo administration to
visit the nations at war and to report
the exact conditions as they were
found by Investigations and conferv
ences. One of these six, who is ex-
today, will make a tour of North Da-
kota and will have two assistants with
him. DIR. E. F. Ladd, head of the food
administration of the federal govern
ment for North Dakota, is at work on
the itinerary. 1t is expected that the
men will spend a week in the state.
The members of the committee to
visit the foreign countries were Rosco

ten MILLION
TONS IGNITE
TO A SECTION
Rurnored Equity Exchange
is Behind Large Ignite
Organization.

Fargo, N. D.. Jan. 21.-The reason
that h people Of the state Of North
Dakota do not realize the seriousness
of the coal shortage in the a was
explained by Attorney w. F. Burnett
Of Dickinson, who speaking before
the Equity meeting here 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.
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 bril-
quotes. Attorney Burnett and the
members Of his delegation came ia
Fargo to tell the Equity members and
those interested in this movement
do anything reasonable to get the
location Of such a plant in that city.
Attorney Burnett asserted that the
ignite deposits around Dickinson
amount to 10000. 900 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 a bigger success than what
the promoters expected. He said that
the Ignite underlying each acre Of
land in the 75-nile radius of Dickin-
son could be sold for n cent a ton
and h value of hat acre of land
would amount to more than the high
est price asked for an acre of land in
the Red River Valley.

Der of the state board of railroad
commissioners and prominent in

the remarks of Attorney Burnett with
statements to the effect that the aver

the state do not realize the great pos

it. can only be drawn before their eyes
now when they read of such condi-
tions in the eastern cities. where by

Bankers Insurance
Company Is Slow In
Making Settlement,

Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. 21.-The
state insurance departme n reports
that it has been unable to obtain any
recent information, as to the status
Of the Rankers' Insurance company OF
Montana. against whom drouth claims
a~ggregating near " million dollars
are held by North Dakota farmers.
Irregularities have developed which
indicate that the company never was
actually authorized to operate in any
state, although it wrote more than
$2.S5o,000 worth of business in North
Dakota. The last report to the state
insurance commissioner here was
that the attorney general Of Mon
tana intended to ask a receiver. for
the Bankers company. Policyhold-
ers at that time were urged to settle
their claims by accepting the amount
paid in premiums to the company and
surrendering their policies.

X7oNKs grow little, Wonks grow big.
Wv They might be horse or they might be
They might be fish, or turtle or rat,
Or most anything for the matter of that
Wouldn't you like, perhaps, to know
What Wonksus are and how they grow?
How some are wild and some are tame
And how the Wonksus got their name?
Wonks are animals fairies keep
o do their work when you re asleep
They mind the baby and cut the hay
And help the fairies in every way.
They do thousand things like that
Wash the windows and shake the mat
Sweep the steps and clean the floor
And scrub and rub till their legs get sore
Fairies make Wonksus, and people can too
But that is secret between me and you;
And most anybody that loves to play
Can make Wonks on rainy day.
Make them Of leaves or blocks of wood,
Or maple seeds and nuts are good,
Or bits of ribbon, with putty and pins
To hold together their bodies and limbs.
Acoms chestnuts will make Wonks
With paper ears and pear stem trunks,
Or horns Of matches and roots for feet
And string for tails make Wonks complete
When it is finished you have TO say,
Work hard, Wonks, for my fairy pay
DO what the fairies want you to,
And here Ill keep home for you."
When the night time comes as it always will
Put your Wonks the window sill,
So he will be there when the fairies come
