McNeal c. James Called
toKentucky University
( Normal Budret)

Professor McNeal C. James, agri-
culture agent for Barnes county, and
for several years head of the depart
ment of agriculture in the State Nor
NAL school, at Valley City, will leave
on February 10 for Lexington, Ken
lucky, where has has been elected as
head of the department Of agriculture
in the state university situated at that
place.
The announcement comes as sur
prise to the many friends of Professor
and Mrs. James, and was equally so to
them. No thought had been given
to such a possibility and no steps
taken toward it. The arrival of a
telegram a few days since, announc-
ing the fact to Mr.. James, was the
first intimation the professor had
that the institution was considering
him. 49, -
While the friends of the family
will regret exceedingly to see them
leave Valley City, yet the new posi-
ton comes as decided promotion,
and wider recognition of Mr.. James
ability as leader in his chosen pro-
fession.
Coming direct from the famous
John Swaney consolidated school, of
Putnam county, Illinois, Mr.. James
entered the employ of the State Nor
NAL school here eight years ago and
has been a prominent factor in the
development Of the states agricultur-
al education and activities ever since.
Three years ago he was appointed
to the position of Barnes county ag-
ricultural agent, with headquarters
at Valley City, and resigned his work
at the school for the purpose of en-
tering this larger field.
The present change is but a further
proof of the high place Mr.. James
occupies in his profession, and tho
North Dakota regrets to lose him, it
rejoices in his opportunity for en-
larged service.
Within the past few months the
University of Kentucky has called
from North Dakota President Frank
1 McVey, of the university; Mr..
Thomas Cooper, director of the North
Dakota Experiment station, and Pro-
fessor James of Barnes county. -

Boat Every Day Is Plan
Of Auti-Submariners

Washington, Feb. 1.-Production
plans for the navy's new ant;-submar-
Inc craft contemplate the delivery of
finished boat every day when the
cycle of production is complete. The
arst vessel has already been started
in the fabricating shops of the Ford
Motor company plant at Detroit.
Construction will 60 by stages. To
turn out a boat day after the lapse
of several months requires that a boat
a day be started. Materials that 60
into construction are fed into one end
of the plant as rapidly as it is plan.
ned to produce the completed product
at the other. The whole number of
boats contracted for will be under
production simultaneously at one
stage.
The design was worked out to re,
duce to minimum the necessity of
shaping plates. Thereare many fiat
surfaces to the vessel on that account
bent and curved plates having been
avoided wherever possible.
The power will be furnished by
geared turbines and since stability
and reliability was sought rather
than freak performances, no effort
was made to go beyond a safe and
conservative speed estimate.
TIE boats will all be fabricated at
the Ford plant, progressing by stages
until they are launched at Detroit
to be brought to the sea via the canal
system and inland waterways. They
will measure 200 feet and displace
about 500 tons, which insures easy
passage to the sea.
The number of boats ordered has
not been revealed, but only a sub
stant;al order would justify thepre
parations for production which must
be made.
