Miss Olive Lund returned Saturday
evening from a ten day holiday vaca-
ton, spent with her many young
friends in the vicinity of Deering, N.
D., and resumed her school duties at
Center school Monday morning, Jan.
z, with three new pupils, Norman
Walker and Stewart Reeds two boys,
as their school is now closed until
March LIST, and as the boys are obliged
to do farm work in the spring, they
are taking advantage of their idle
time.
Mrs. Orlando Brown from east of
Minot killed two birds with one stone
Jan. LIST when she gave a New Years
dinner, and it being her husbands
birthday, celebrated two dinners in
one. WELDING and Nelson and their
families attended and had very nice
time, altho they went in their Ford
and had to dig out of several snow
drifts, but nevertheless they arrived
there at 2:14 in time for the second
table and found plenty of good old
North Dakota turkey with plenty of
good cranberry sauce.
Clyde Nelson, while hauling coal
from the Beighle mine one day last
week, turned turtle with a four horse
load Of coal. Mr.. Nelson said he would
not have cared, but he hated to shovel
it up again after night with a Ian
tern, but then again he said that was
even better than lying under the coal
over night with the mercury hanging
around zero.

or three months Of severe winter wea-
Their yet and thousands of our people
are depending on what fuel they can
buy from week to week. So far, the
mines have done exceedingly we'll.
They have paid the miners good
wages and have had all the men they
could work. Transportation facilities
have been excellent. Now comes the
Fuel Administration and sets a new
price on coal at the mine, price low
err than the mine operators say they
can mine it for. Rather than accept
this price, they declare that they will
shut down their mines, in fact several
have already done so, and have asked
Mr.. Garfield to operate them. The
Independent doesn't know anything
about the merits Of this latest con-
troversy We don't know what is a
reasonable price for mining coal, but
our Fuel Administrator ought to have
some way Of finding out to certainty
and then give the mine operators what
is due them. In the meantime we
must have coal and the mines should
not be permitted to close for even a
day.

The Independent sincerely regrets
the death of Franklin Kaufman, for
mer advertising manager of the Mi
not Daily News, whose death occurred
in Minneapolis. The writer remem-
bers we'll when Mr.. Kaufman came to
Minot, as youth some ten years ago,
to take charge of the advertising for
the Minot Daily Optic. We took a
liking to the young man from the
first on account of his modest mein
and his fair business methods. He
showed true fraternal spirit towards
his fellow newspaper workers and
many time went out of his way to
do the writer a favor. Being a big
man himself, he realized that the
world was big enough for US all. He
was living example of a true-blue
unselfish gentleman. During all the
years that we knew Franklin Kauff-
man and worked with him, we never
knew him to do one dishonest, under
handed act. When he became ill some
months ago and was taken east where
it was hoped that he might secure
some relief from specialists, it was
hoped by all his friends, and they
were legion; that he would soon re-
turn to take his place among Minot's
businessmen again. This city is in
debted great deal to Mr.. Kaufman.
He came here when Minot was little
more than village and he lived to
see our city become one of the best in
the Northwest and he had the salts
faction of realizing that he had some
part in that development. He was
public spirited and gave freely Of his
time in doing whatever he might have
been called upon to do. And he was
versatile too. AS an advertising man
he had few equals. AS a cartoonist,
he was able and always displayed
touch of rare humor. He was force
full writer. With all of his ability he
was exceptionally modest. We join
all of Minot in mourning the untimely
death of Franklin Kaufman,

For years, the North Dakota Ignite
mine operators have tried in vain to
compete with the eastern coal mines
in territory outside Of North Dakota
and even in the eastern part of the
state, but the cards evidently had been
stacked by the railway companies, as
sisted by the eastern coal barons. For
instance, the freight rate on ton Of
Ignite coal from northwestern North
Dakota to Minneapolis is $500. and
this would make the coal cost the
dealer $11.2O. When he disposed of it
at profit, it would make Ignite coal
cost more than hard coal. Naturally
the railroads were after the long
hauls. Eastern mine operators have
been known to refuse to ship their
coal to dealers handling North Dakota
Ignite. Is it little wonder that our
Ignite coal industry is no further de-
veloped, hampered as it is? Our lig-
mite mines have done remarkably well
under the circumstances. Now all that
they ask is fair treatment from the
railroads, which they will undoubtedly
get under government management,
and then fair price to be allowed by
the fuel administrator, whatever that
may be.

the Iowa farmers are rolling in
wealth. Oats are bringing 75c, hay is
a good stiff price and there is plenty
of corn and consequently money is
plentiful in the farming districts.

Have you given any thot to the pay
ment of your income tax? Have you
ascertained whether you will have to
pay such a tax or not? The govern
ment needs your money to help carry
on the war and if you are one to con-
tribute portion Of your earnings for
this purpose, do so with a smile. One
might just as we'll be pleasant about
it, for it must be paid anyway and be-
sides there's a nice little penalty at
tached for ones failure to do this.
This income tax is going to make ex-
cellent bookkeepers of US all. Here
after we are going to know just what
we earn, what we spend, how much
we charge on our books, what per-
centage that's collectable, etc. It's
going to make better businessmen of
US all. We may have to adopt new
system Of bookkeeping and insist on
prompt payment of accounts, but that
is as it should be anyway. Uncle Sam
doesn't want any guess work. If you
desire to get all the information on
this subject, visit the governments
special representative who will be at
the federal building in Minot for a
limited time, or attend the special
meeting to be held under the auspices
of the Minot Town Criers Club in the
near future, date to be announced
later when this representative will be
present to explain the matter thoroly.

With enough Ignite coal underlying
our vast coal tracts to last the people
of the United States hundred years,
it begins to look like there might soon
be some real suffering in North Da-
kota for the lack of fuel unless State
Fuel Administrator Baker and the
North Dakota Coal Mine operators
get together. We are apt to have two

The eastern states are in serious
condition for the want Of fuel. The
Philadelphia Ledger tells Of such a
shortage of fuel in the Quaker City
that crowd of 600 people attacked
8 cars of coal upon their arrival in
the city and before the police could
drive the mob away, they had carried
off half of the $50 tons in bags, buck
cts, pushcarts, baby carriages and
wash boilers. An attempt was made
to couple an engine onto the cars
when several women took position
on the track and defed the engineer
to run over them. The hospitals suf-
fered so badly that all major opera
tions had to be dispensed with. So
far we have had no serious shortage
of coal in North Dakota and should
consider ourselves very fortunate that
we have our vast fields Of Ignite.
