Farmers Profit
By Cooperation

Pierre, Aug. 24.-The farmers as
sociation of Brown county say that
they want to work out their own sal
vation' in a way which they will know
something financial themselves, and
to show what they mean by this say
that last year North Dakota supplied
the poison for poisoning grasshop-
pers, and it was spread at cost of
rs cents an acre. This year with
poison higher the local associations
in this state just across the line
from where the poison was spread at
state expense last year, paid higher
price for the arsenic but got the bait
scattered on their fields at cost OF
a little over 23 cents an acre. Thus
by using cooperation which was
watched by those interested, and get
ting the work done as cheaply as
possible, through individual instead
of public effort.

J.. S. CLERKS CO
ON PENSION LIST
SOME GET CHECKS SEPT 1
OTHERS LATER.

Washington, Aug. 24.-VMore than
1000 old clerks, men and women,
passed out of government service Fri
day under the new retirement law.
No more dismal occasion in the an
nails of the federal service is remem-
bered by the oldest employe. Many
of the superannuated clerks, particu-
larly the women, frankly wept as the
other employees in the various bu-
reaus and other departments gath
cred around them at the noon hour
to say goodbye.
Bureau chiefs tried to inject lit
tie cheer into the situation, but a
dreary rain that persisted all day
and utter detection within, seriously
hampered their efforts. Celebrations
were held but they fell flat i'm every
bureau.
Although more than 1000 en-
ployes are to be retired. only 1,423
of these will receive a pension check
September /.
The others will have to wait fol-
several days or perhaps weeks before
they receive their pensions because
of delay in the departments in send
ing in their certificates.
Employees who are retired will re
ceiye varying amounts according te
their pay and length of service bu
they will average about $3.50 a year
it has been estimated. This viii
mean that the government will pa,
out in pensions about $2,64S,000 tc
their retired employees.

PRODUCTION Of
SOFT COAL HIGH
MINERS TURN OUT II, ,72S, 200
NET TONS FOR WEEK OF
AUGUST IA.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Production
peak during the week ending Aug
ust IA, when the miners turned out
11,72S,000 net tons.
The geological survey, in making
this announcement today, made pub
lie figures showing production of BIZ
luminous coal since last January /
to total 324,S77,000 tons, which is
48,250,000 tons greater than the
1919 production at the same date.
The increased production for the
week of August IA was ascribed in
part to the accumulation of empty
coal cars during the strike of day
men in the Illinois and Indiana fields.
Reports to the survey early last week
indicated loadings slightly less than
the preceding week and the suspen-
sion of operations i'm the Indiana
field probably will account for still
further decrease in production.
Shipments to New England, fol
which a priority order recently was
issued, are not coming up to expec-
tations, the surveys reports indicate
Rail shipments for New England also
declined, but still are As per cent
above last years average.
Priority of shipment to the lakes
for the northwest is having its effect
dumpings at Lake Erie ports for the
week of Aug IA being 994,425 me-
tons. All except 421,000 tons were
for trans-shipment to the northwest
