Some authorities declare that bronze
paint reduces the heating effects of a
radiator about ~one-fourth as COM

it was found that in comparing the
heating effects of radiators not paint

and those painted with lead paint,
japan and enamel had about the same
heating effect but the radiators COW

by the Grand Forks p%ostofice.
The chief regis ,rar said today that
it is impossible AMI infeasfEle to try

duty of alien enemies to familiarize
themselves with the regulations, and
to remember the dates on which they
will be required to appear for regis

Even German residents in the city
appear to- have no idea of how many
of their ~compatriots live here, but
it is not thought that the number is
very large. Estimates run all the way
from fifty to two hundred. :
The number Of natives Of Germany.
Of course, is considerably larger, but
the majority of Germans who have
lived here a long time, are American
citizens. and, consequently not re-
CURED to register as alien enemies.

movement, has sent out an appeal to
all dealers to put forth every pos

the conservation of wheat which is
at his time one of the most impor-
tant objects toward which effort is

Mr.. Whitmarsh makes a number of
exceedingly practical suggestions with
reference to the matter in which the
ues red object may be attained. He
believes it desirable that there should
be on hand at distributing centers a
sufficient quantity Of wheat -four in or

this practical product. but dealers are
urged to encourage, as far as they
