Plan Establishing Definite Retail
Prices for fuel in Michigan

Controlling the prices to. be charged
for coal in Michigan, or rather the
gross margin of profit allowed, cover
ing both hard and soft coal, is the
latest move of the Fuel Administra-
ton. The same seems to cover every
point that may arise in the matter Of
charges for coal on the part of retail
dealers, including the details of de-
livery under different conditions. It
also makes it necessary that dealers
/ keep proper records that shall be ex-
amined by the u. S. Fuel Administra-
tion. Consumers Of hard coal, be-
fore being able to buy anthracite,
must make a statement concerning
their needs, and when it is approved
they will be allowed two-thirds sup
ply for the year ending March 81,
1919.
The orders and forms in full appear
in the following:
By authority delegated to and vest
ed in the Federal Fuel Administrator
for Michigan, it is hereby ordered and
directed that, until further notice, the
following regulations and method of
arriving at the retail prices Of anthra-
cite and bituminous coal shall apply
within the State of Michigan.
The maximum retail price shall be
determined by adding to the cost Of
coal at the mine, the freight to desti-
nation with war tax added, to which
shall be added the gross margins as
hereinafter named.

game "for keeps" Giving back will
go somewhat against the grain.

In the middle of March, 1918. the
general manager of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation told the Senate
Committee on Commerce. that the
United States has come to the point
where every effort must be put forth
to speed up ship construction. "Has
come," indeed!
Russia was long time accepting
that peace without victory" sugges-
tion, but she finally did it.
The price of coal was reduced April
nrst. This is not joke. The sum-
mer joke will be an increase in the
price OF ice-due to the war.
Making choice of necessity" verv
fifty describes the manner in which
Secretary of War Baker has adopted
many of the policies the Senate Com
mittee on Military affairs wanted
adopted and which he at first refused
to adopt. He heard from the people.

WHAT'S DOING IN WASHINGTON

Washington, April Especial cor
respondence )-Representative Albert
johnson of the State of Washington
is endeavoring to get the Navy De-
partment to adopt the system recent
ly inaugurated in the Army of not
flying the parents of enlisted men
when they are taken seriously ill.
Mr.. johnson has had some distressing
cases brought to his attention by con-
stituents, where boys were reported
dead to their parents without any
previous notice whatever that they
were sick. The Navy Department has
been found by Congressman quick to
give information concerning a mem
ber of it's enlisted force upon request,
but Mr.. Johnson seeks to have the
Department take the initiative in cas-
es such as have been called to his
notice.

Since the organization of the Non
partisan League, and the Consumers
United Stores Co., Townley and his
band Of hungry organizers have held
full sway in this county, and while
they have had speakers galore in this
county, only one side of the whole
proposition has been shown up, for the
easo that there has been no one to
speak on the other side Of the ques-
ton and not one speech has really
been made against the Townley pro-
paganda. We believe that the other
side should be heard, and We believe
that the farmers of the county are
ready and willing to listen to both
sides, and for this reason we wish to
issue a challenge to any person in
Ramsey county, who is willing to
come forward and debate the Townley
side Of the question. The question to
be debated will be; Resolved that the
Non-partisan League and the Con-
sumers United Stores Co., under their
present management are a detriment
to North Dakota"
If there is any man in Ramsey
county who cares to meet us on the
platform in such a debate, all he will
have to do is to accept this challenge
and name his date, and we will secure
a hall and do,the advertising free, ano
we will arrange the preliminaries with
the parties SC accepting.

CANDO EDITOR BOOSTS
LOCAL UNDERTAKEN

In the last issue Of the Cando
Record, Editor Nelson praises the
work of E. w. Gilbertson as under
taker in charge Of the last sad rites
yer the body of Helen Shively. In
part he has the following to say:
"The mortuary part of the Helen
Shively funeral here last week was
conducted by that well known citizen
of Devils Lake, Hon. E. w. Gilbertson
whose undertaking parlors Il that
city are a model Of excellence. Mr..
Gilbertson's conduct on his part in the
sad affair proved that he is q skilled
undertaken and has the temperament
and training to make his part of the
service beautiful. He gave the people
a new view of the dignity and ethics
of ministering to the dead,which will
be long remembered and appreciated
by relatives and friends of the deceas-
ed" sSE'
This compliment is merited to say
the least. The ability of Mr.. Gilbert
son and his assistants is known all
over this section Of the state, and it is
not uncommon for them to assume
conduct of funerals fifty to sixty miles
from this city, and. he has been as far
out os eighty-fve miles. This does
not seem a great distance to North
Dakota people but when one stops to
consider that a like territory would be
proximately the distance from Mil
waukee to Chicago, it then assumes its
proper aspect.
! Not only have they the best casket
rooms in this section of the state. but
one of the finest in the United States.
They were also the first to put on an
auto hearse, which they did three
years ago, and at the present time are
negotiating for the latest design of
funeral a which: they will have here
by mid-sumemr.
