ting rid of a large number of other
good Wolf Point votes. The big de-
bate already mentioned followed.
But it appears from the records that
the registrar had filled out an appli
cation for Listerud's transfer, but
during the unusually busy times that
attended the work of the clerk and
recorder of this county during the
fall of 1922, and although the sclerk
undoubtedly left no stone unturned
to perform all his duties, the form
ality of forwarding the transfer to
the McCone county clerk was over
looked. Fortunately Attorney Hurd
discovered the transfer application
in the files on exhibit at an effective
moment in his argument to the court
The dramatic effect was considerable
by way of showing that a voter,
through no fault of his own, might
be deprived of his vote if transfers
were held to be essential.
After Railroad Voters
Quite few others, mostly railroad
people, who resided here several
years prior to last falls election and
are now residents of Havre or other
towns along the railroad line have
given the plaintiffs side much con-

called to testify concerning the quail
fications of others. John Solbelg
was one of these, Frank Crusen an
other. Likewise Mrs. E. L. Shipman,
Mrs. J. P. Murphy, Mrs. Grace Hub

ANTHRACITE COAL
FROM MONT. LIGNITE
DISCOVERY OF HIGHEST I'M
PORTANCE ENDORSED BY
TWO GOVERNMENTS

Washington, Sept. 4.-Completion
of apparatus which makes it possible
to manufacture anthracite coal from
comparatively worthless Ignite was
announced Tuesday by the bureau of
mines.
Efforts will be made at once by
officials of the Interior department
it was said, to interest some COM
mercial concern in the invention, that
its benefits may be made available
to the coal consuming public.
The importance of the discovery
may be realized, the bureau said,
when it is known that the United
States possesses 1,051, ,290, 700
tons of easily mined Ignite, of which
964, 900, 100000 tons are located in
North and South Dakota and Mon
tana. This territory annually i'm
ports large tonnages of anthracite
and bituminous coal.
The bureaus experiments were
carried out in cooperation with Off
cials of the Canadian government.
An oven was constructed which was
said to turn the Ignite into fuel hay-
ing practically the same thermal eff
cheney as the Pennsylvania hard coal.
The Canadian government after
seeing the oven in operation decided
to construct a similar unit and give
it a thorough test The Canadian
tests also proved successful and the
Canadian engineers reported to the
of mines at Ottawa that
the oven is practical, commercial
oven, now past the experimental
stage"

IT'S THE SOIL and
YOU CAN'T BEAT IT
LOCAL MARKETS GLUTTED BY
OVERFLOW FROM FARMERS
THRIVING GARDENS

This is the season of the yeal
when an observer may come to q
full appreciation of the productive
ness of the soil or our new country
One who looks about and makes a
few inquiries cannot fail to be sur
prised and gratifed to learn of the
great variety of things grown on the
farms with just fair degree of
effort and care.
The kitchen gardens and truck
patches play an important part in
the LIVING of the people. People
seem more and more inclined to
heed the admonition of agricultural
writers and lecturers to raise their
living instead of buying it. This
season in this section potatoes are
again an excellent crop and are a
big item toward supplying the table
during the winter. Root crops such
as beets, carrots and turnips are fur
hishing abundant yields, and like
wise cabbage, corn and squashes.
Sell Overplus
Many farmers find they have far
more garden truck than they need
for family use N1d are. marketing it
at local stores. Topatoes are a de-
cided success and local dealers called
this week to some extra
fine ones brought in by Herman Pi-
pal of the ,Southside.
Melons are again fine crop the
same as last year., Hank Cusker
brought in a high wagon box filled
with as fine watermelons as anyone
could ask for, some of them weigh

abundant crops of watermelons to

| Harrisburg. Pa.-Governor Pin
chot of Pennsylvania has laid prop
osition before officials Of tie miners
union and the representatives. of an
| thracite coal operators in which he
asks them to compromise the contro-
versy which threatens to shut down

His suggestion called for fiat in

all mine workers; for the abolition
of all other than the eight-hour work
ing day arrangements; for the drop
ping by the union its demand for the
"check- collection of dues, with
the provision that union agents might
be stationed in company offices on
pay day to collect from the men
for '''full recognition of the onion by
the operators" and for acceptance
of the principles Of collective bar

Samuel D. Warriner, chairman of
the operators policy committee, like
wise called in for consultation as
many of his associates as he could
reach.
Comment was withheld by both |
sides. not only because of desire
for time to study the proposals. but
also because of a peremptory request
from the governor that they give
him their first response Friday.
Would Add go Cents per Ton
The governors proposal for wage
was based on the calcula-
ion that 10 per cent would add go .
cents per ton to the cost of mining

le said, with unusual profits during
'ecent months, could absorb 10 cents

House Coverings.

Inquiries for copper roofing to be
used in rebuilding the devastated Jap

Copper and Brass Research associa-
ton. 1t is understood that these in
quiries are from sources representing
the Japanese government. Except for
modern American construction in
Tokyo and Yokohama. all houses were
rooted entirely with large, handmade
clay tile. These made very heavy
roof which, when the earthquake ire
mors first came, caused heavy casual
ties by falling on the fleeing people in
the streets and by their weight
brought about complete collapse Of
many houses which might otherwise
have resisted the earthquake shocks
1t is understood that the Japanese
government has already issued an or
der f0rbidding the use IF heavy roofing
materials and is endeavoring to obtain
roofing OF the lightest possible weight,
which is at the same time fireproof
and earthquake proof.
The attention of their experts has
been drawn TO the possibilities of cop

Length of Dress Will
Not Affect Shoe Mode

1t used to be said that when long
skirts returned boots would come back.
But we are realizing today that the
hem of the skirt has comparatively
nothing to do with the type of shoe
worn, said shoe man. The beauty
and symmetry Of the shoe will gov
ern, no matter what skirt length IS de-
tcrmined.
So the manufacturer tells the shoe
merchant to be calm on any fashion
forecast that has to do with the length
of skirts. The maker of dresses, TO be
sure, has his worries over the length
of skirts. hut for fine footwear the call
always will be for trlmness. harmony
