RECORD BROKEN
IN P0ST0FFICE
IN YEAR 1920
Receipts Mount to Total of $137,-
coo, or $1,000 Above
1919
TO MOVE UP A GRADE

Bismarck postoffice did greater
business in 1920 than in any prevl-
Gus year.
As a result Of the new record the
postoffice will advance one grade
next July and some Of the officials
will benefit in increased salaries:
Total business in 1920 amounted to
s137,1s6.17 as compared to $130,463.-
rs in 1919 and about $1O6,OOO.00 in
1918. The increase in 1920 really is
greater than is shown by the com
parison of receipts because during
the first two quarters of 1919 there
was three-cent postage.
Comparison by quarters follows:
1919, first quarter, $33,549.S0; second
quarter, $34,54417; third quarter
$28,7S5.5S; fourth quarter, $33,5S4'2l; !;
total, $13O,463.76. 1920, first quarter,
$39,499.50; second quarter, $32,5lS:'
20: third Quarter, $32,242.2O; fourth
quarter, $32,92S.1S; total, $137,1S6.17.
There was decrease in the Decem-
ber business Of 1920 over 1919 from
S16,232.42 to $1O,449.95.
The War Savings stamp business
at the postoffice during the year was
very small, it is stated by postoffice
officials, many more being cashed
than sold.

ENGINEERS TO
MEET IN CITY
IN FEBRUARY
State Meeting Set for Feb. 10.11
Interest in Engineers

Prof. F.. +. Chandler, secretary OF
the North Dakota Society Of Engi-
neers, announces that this society
holds its annual meeting in joint ses-
sion with the state chapter Of the
American Association Of Engineers In
Bismarck on February 10 and II. The
North Dakota society had planned to
hold its meeting in jamestown but
upon invitation of the A. A. E. and
because the legislature is in session,
the matter Of changing 70 Bismarck
was voted on by letter ballot favora-
bly,.
Arrangements are being made and
program and entertainment prepared
by the resident directors and the Bis
marck A. A. E. club.
The North Dakota Society OF Engi-
neers in existence since 1911 is a
technical society and numbers 79
members. The A. A. r. state chap
ter is "a non-technical society for
technical men" and though organized
but 10 months ago has at this time
a membership of 100. The two socie-
ties comprise practically all Of the
professional engineers in North Da-
kota.
Judging from the interest shown
by the states engineers and because
of the engineers license bill to be in
troduced in the legislature and due
to other legislative activities Of both
these societies, it is expected that the
February joint meeting will result in
the biggest gathering of engineers
ever held in North Dakota.
The State Association of Architects
will also have been invited to be
present, and participate in the pro-
ceedings.

U. s. NAVY
TO .SURPASS
THE BRITISH
Daniels Lays Data of Building
Program Before Com
.@~% ntittee

Washington, Jan. 12.-Secretary
Daniels today laid before the house
naval affairs committee what he de-
scribed as approximately complete
data on the relative sea power of the
three principal naval powers, request
ed by the committee in connection
with the consideration on disarma-
ment.
Should the United States call upon
the nations of the world for "a full,
free and fair discussion of disarma-
ment the favorable response would be
prompt and inevitable" the house
naval committee was told today by
General Tasker H. Bliss, former Amer
ican representative on the supreme
war council at Paris.
"Tke,nation that would come to such
conference and refuse to agree to
any proposition looking to disarma-
ment, or at least reduction of its
military establishment" said General
Bliss, could be written down as the
next Germany and the United States
could make it's plans accordingly"
Tables submitted by the secretary
show that while the present effective
fighting strength of the British navy
includes 53S shipe Of 1,588,442 tons
as compared to 800 ships Of 779,193,-
900 for the American navy completion
of the authorized building program
Of this country in 1925 will give it a
tonnage superior in the ratio Of 1.35
to /, with approximately an equal
number of ships.
In major ships and gun power the
American navy at the completion of
its present program will have an ac-
tual superiority over the British fleet:
Secretary Daniels said, but that it
would be considerably weaker in
point of light cruisers and other aux
iliary craft.
General Bliss preceded before the
committee Secretary Daniels who ap-
peared again to give the committee
detailed information regarding the rel
ative naval strength of the great
powers. The former chief of staff Of
the army said his association of the
high officials of the great powers had
confirmed his belief that all the great
nations of the world were ready to
talk disarmament seriously.

TARIFF DUTY
PROPOSED TO
AID FARMERS
Livestock Industry in Annual
Session Urges This
Relief
SHEEP INDUSTRY HIT
Sound System of Rural Credits
Greatest Need Declares
Speaker

| Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. ia tariff
duty on farm products at the ealliest
possible date, increased credits and
early adoption of legislation now
pending in congress and providing
for the appointment of COMMITTEES
to serve the livestock industry were
urged as necessary step for the re-
habilitation of the growing industry
by J. B. Kendrick, of Sheridan, Wyo.
in an address before the annual con-
vention of the American National
Livestock association here today.
Kendrick is president Of the asso-
citation. Kendrick sketched the trou-
BILE of the industry beginning with
the drouth conditions in the, south
west for two or three years, an in
crease in meat imports in 1920, a de-
crease in meat exports in the same
period and the "absence Of market
for wool at any price"
Increased Costs.
Increased labor costs "the doub-
ling up of taxes" and increased
freight rates "at the very time when
declining prices on many products OF
the farm made shipment of the pro-
ducts prohibitive" were assigned by
Kendrick as further cause for the.
present unfavorable condition of the
industry.
He estimated that Increased freight
yardage and commission charges
amounted to from SO to 100 percent
during the last year.
AN extreme case in connection
with this situation" he said, "was
shown in shipment of sheep from
Wyoming in December 1920, in which
the cost Of movement was so great
that the net amount received was
slightly over 81 cents head"
kendrick declared nothing would
give greater impetus to the produc-
ton of livestock at this time than a
change in our laws which would pro-
vide a sound rational system of f.
nancing that would extend to small
producers loans in limited amounts.
