ITALIANS SEEK
Coal AND OIL
By G. CIANFARRA.

by I. ClANF Anna.
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
ROME, July 10 (By Mail) Prof.
Mario Cermenati, former undersecre-
tary of agriculture, president of the
Italian geological institute, talking of
that part of Premier Giolitti's pro-
gram concerning the exploration of
the subsoil of the peninsula for the
discovery of the raw materials the ma
ton needs, said this search is Italy's
last effort to emancipate herself from
the dependency on foreign nations for
coal, Oil and other minerals. He be-
lieved the chances are that she will
find good deal of what she needs.
"The research made during the war
by our mining experts and biologists
have led to the discovery of a num-
Der of precious and rare minerals,
the presence of which in our under
ground nobody had ever suspected"
said Prof. Cermenati Take for in
stance, radium. We knew nothing
about minerals containing radium,
and today special committee is on
the eve of informing the world about
the quantity of radium Italy can in the
near future furnish.
AS to coal, Premier Giolitti proba-
bly, not being an expert, used the
wrong word when he said our scien-
lists are convinced there is anthracite,
What he meant was litanthrace, of
which there are several mines in oper-
alton in Sardinia and Piedmont. Up
to date, however, no trace has been
found of coal, but many of my col
leagues believe that it will be found
In marwed quantity and good quality
in Tuscany near Jano and Monte Pr
sano, and in Liguria, not far from Sa-
vona. To ascertain whether it exists
or not the ground must be bored to
depth of from 1900 to 1900 feet, at
cost of five or six million, but it must
be done, and the sooner the better
II coal is not found, there is always
hope of finding something equally as
valuable.

FIGHTING SHIPS OF
THE LONG AGO.
(By United Press.l

CHICAGO, July 30.-A strange fleet
of famous fighting ships is the object
of much curiosity in the heart of the
manufacturing district here. Located
in the Chicago river some distance in
from Lake Michigan, these ships are
visited by hundreds and the spot has
come to be known as the graveyard
of ships.
A submarine. formerly the U-97,
sank seven allied ships and many 9th
ers by mines. The U197 was mine
layer. The U97 was surrendered at
Scapa Flow and was allotted to the
United States. She toured the great
lakes during the victory loan drive.
Nearby is the Essex, which was used
to break up the slave traffic on the
African coast. Another is the Yantic,
which was built for President Lin
coin, and later remodeled as a naval
corvette.
The Hawk, formedly a yacht which
was sold by the late Senator Mark
Hanna to the government when war
between this country and Spain broke
out, is another object of interest. She
captured the Spanish liner, Alfonso
XIII, of Havana, and brought her prize
to port
The Eastland, which tipped over at
her pier here in 1915 and caused the
death of S12 people, is here as a gun.
boat and under the name Wilmette.
The Wilmette is used as a tanning
ship.

County agents of southern Mime
sofa have been called to arms against
the perennial SOW thistle, which
threatens to over-run the state. Hun
dreds of copies Of circular No. 1,
identifying this pernicious weed,
have been mailed to the agents at
the suggestion of the director Of ag-
ricultural extension at University

entire fields, at the same time look
ing for more worlds to conquer. 1T
has already done great damage in the
northwest section of the state, and
authentic specimens have been found
in central and southern counties.
Circular No. 1 describes the habits of

will be the first brigade encampment
Of the Minnesota National guard and
the first national encampment for

tions Stimulating those in actual war
fare"

Thirteen Children to School

Thirteen and happy! They started
to Kindergarten on Tuesday, and
celebrated the event by cutting out
whole flocks of woody white lambs,
whose bland gentle faces gave no
hint of the fact, that their creators
had, by a too generous snip of the
scissors, amputated the feet of some
of their number. The thirteen who
started their scholastic careers on
April s, were Dick Walsh, Carolie
Cole, John Smelling, Dayle Stewart,
Dick Hunter, Margaret Riedner,
Howard Laschansky, Bert Betters,
Rosalie Markley, Gladys McCabe,
Margaret Neerhagen, Leonard Birch,

of the high school, and is taught by
the girls of the department, with Miss
Carrie Slindee in charge.

The Rest Not Told

Last week we stated that the Cho-
kio Cooperative Creamery paid SIT
for butterfat in February, but let
ter from Mr.. e. S. Davidson informs
us that this was not true, or only
half true. The Chokio Creamery
pays twice a month instead of once
a month like most cooperatives, and
did pay SIT for the first half of
February, but during the last half
paid $.81 for No. 1 cream and $.7S
for No. 2 cream. "The butter maker
has to grade the cream in order to
make the highest quality butter -
says, Mr.. Davidson, "and the patron
that takes sweet cream gets No. 1
price, which is an inducement for the
patrons to take better care of their
cream"

in the Sunday evening service of the
English Lutheran church when the
choir presented the sacred cantata
'The Conquering King" by Alfred
Judson. The production is full of
melody and beauty and the choir
showed real appreciation of it's
worth. The practices which have
been going on for some weeks were
evident in the work as was also the
careful and Intelligent training of
Mrs. Alfred Bredesen the director
Altho but few of the chorus have
trained voices several solos and duets
were creditably given and the en-
semble work was excellent. Mrs.
Betters at the piano proved valu-
able assistant to the director. AL
together, the choir has provided a
pleasant evening for the large aud
ience which was in attendance and
has received valuable training< for its
individual members, and for the choir
as a whole. Members of the chorus
were as follows: Sopranos, Mrs. AL
fred Bredesen, Miss Dora Flatner,
Miss Edna Hanson, Miss Marion Han
son, Miss Florence Johnson, Miss
Ruth Ulvestad; altos: Miss Irene
Flatner, Miss Vivian Flatner, Miss
Cora Ryhn, Miss Martha Ulvestad,
Miss Stella Watzke; tenors: Nels
Olson, Peter Peterson; basses: Albert
Anderson, Ludwig Bagstad, Arvid
Rudburg, S. A. Siverts.
After the concert members of the
choir were entertained by Mrs. M. J.
Ryhn and Mrs. E. G. Gilbert at the
Gilbert home. Short talks were given
by Rev. Bredesen and Bert Betters,
readings by Miss Isabella Dodds and
Miss Cora Rhyn, and an impromptu
debate staged on: Resolved, that
poor housekeeping is worse than
tobacco" The affirmative was up
held by Rev. Bredesen, Peter Peter
son and Bert Betters, and the mega
tive by Mrs. Bredesen, Miss Dodds
and Miss Ryhn. The judges, Phil
johnson, Arvid Rudburg, and Miss
Dora Flatner, decided in favor of the
affirmative. =
Suffering from mental fatigue, as
a result of prolonged contemplation
of the subject Of the debate, the
guests were offered refreshment by
the hostesses, as the last number" OF
the evenings program.
