annually. At the present prices
this coal would cost four times
as much as the generators Of Ma

Germany Is Alarmed
At Increasing
Divorces

BERLIN, Oct. 29.-Germany's
press is in a blue funk lest
married relations in the new
republic be "Americanized." Di-
vorce is on the increase, and
German newspapers fear Renos
will spring up all over the
country.
Last year Berlin alone had
1000 divorces. Germany still
falls far short of the American
1922 record of $4,000 divorces
to 100000 marriages, but the
divorce rate is growing, and
ready letter writer's are telling
the newspapers what must be,
done to preserve the home and
family.
Loveless marriages, especially
marriages which are entered
into for purely financial reasons,
are held by most newspaper
contributors to be responsible
for the growing dockets in the
divorce courts.

STUDENTS0WE
DUTY T0STATE
NEST0S SAYS
In Return For Education
Community Has Right to
Demand Service To 1t
SPEAKS AT MANDAN

Mandan, North Dakota, June L.
Every student who graduates from
public school bears the duty of
contributing to the upbuilding of his
community, Governor R. A. Ncstos
told graduates Of Mandan high school
at the graduation exercises here this
afternoon.
"The parents have given you every
care. The state and the community
nave at great expense provided every
1aclllty for your preparation for
llfe,' Governor NestOs told the grad
yates. They have a right to demand
OF you that as you go out from here,
whether into colleges and profession
al schools for further training, or
whether you go directly from this in
stitution into ife's activities, that
you shall assume positions of leader
ship in the various communities
where you become citizens"
1t is not to be expected that each
will reach the same position in life,
the Governor said, hut held all could
contribute something to the commun-
ity's betterment.
I'VE do not all have the same
gifts, the same talents" he said.
Some of us can do one thing we'll,
some another, and all that is requir-
ed OF us, as indicated in the parable,
is that each of US use the talents
with which he' has been endorsed, IN
the most profitable way. In prepar-
ing for such leadership, it is of the
M onto -
whether such preparation is adequate
and designed to meet the require
ments of the work to be undertaken,
and that on such occasions as this
you make thorough inventory"
Examples of success over obstacles
were cited by the Governor. He re-
ferred to Roosevelt's battle for
health in North Dakota, to a college
president who at II years of age was
given up as an inturable consump-
tive and regained health by resolute-
ly setting out to do so. He urged
upon the students the selection of
good books and said that 1.-The great
est of these books is the Bible and
no mans reading or education is
complete that does not include an
accurate and intimate knowledge of
this wonderful treasure house."
ABILITY to sympathize, love, appre-
ciate the beautiful and applaud the
noble is rich endowment, but the
possessor is but mollycoddle or an
emotional derelict on life's seas, un-
less these sentiments are moulded
into the words and deeds of helpful-
ness and wholesome appreciation by
the magic touch of the 4 WILL" the
Governor said.
I'VE may have strength of body
and mind, knowledge, appreciation of
beauty in art and nature, ambition,
the power of money, position or So
cial standing, and yet it will avail
US nothing in making life a real sue
cess unless dominating the whole sit
uation there is the ringing, purpose,
full, determined, forward moving :!

50 PER CENT

In increase of so per cent in the

over 1922 is estimated on the basis
of shipments from August 5, 1922 to
April /, 1928. The amount of lig-

roads during this period equals the

from August S, 1922, to April 1, 1928,

latest demands of Great Britain in
the Anglo-Russian dispute which are
reported to include insistance upon
withdrawal of the Russian represen-
tatives from Persia and Afghanistan
where they have been accused Of an

Ignite Produced in North Dakota.
Much Is Shipped.

OF the l,057,S23 tons produced in
1922 the statement shows that 1885,,
$50 tons were delivered locally to
consumers, 36,327 tons were used by
the mines themselves, leaving S62,-
848 tons actually shipped over the
railroads, or 100000 tons less than
have been shipped during the 35
weeks of this years covered by Mr..
Smart's compilation. The public
utilities have installed modern CRATES
and stoker apparatus at several cities
in the state making their plants able
to produce electricity more cheaply
per unit with Ignite than with other
Goals, resulting in consumption of
Ignite during the summer months of
about 1000 tons per week.
Based upon the average efficiency
Of ton of Ignite being sixty per
cent of bituminous Goals the increas-
ed consumption of Ignite in North
Dakota during the 35 weeks displaced
242, 900 tons Of bituminous Goals, and
Mr.. Smart shows that on this basis
Ignite constituted 66.7 per cent of
the fuel used in North Dakota dur
ing that period. Eastern coal short
age, strikes; and increased prices of
those Goals resulted in many people
using Ignite this past winter, who
never before had used it, found it a
clean and economical fuel, dispell-
ing long standing prejudice which
had resulted from use of poor grades
of Ignite found near the surface.
Mr.. Smart estimated the years pro-
duction to reach LIP millions Of
tons, and much more rapid growth
of the industry another year.
Mr.. Smart estimates that the in
creased use Of Ignite during the 36
weeks resulted in a financial saving,
Of over $1,0OO.O0O to the people OF
the state, ,zat the same time furnish,
