dren's Code. By this Code respon-
sibility was placed upon the State
Board Of Control to promote the
endorsements of all laws for the
protection of defective, illegiti-
mate, dependent, neglected and
delinquent children, to cooperate
to this end with Juvenile courts
and all reputable child helping and
child caring agencies of public
or private character, and to take
the initiative in all matters involv-
ing the interests of such children
where adequate provision therefor
has not been made. Further, it is
the duty of the Board to safe
guard the interests of the ilegiti-
mate child and take steps to estab-
fish his paternity and secure for
him the care, support and educa-
ton that he would be entitled to
if born of lawful marriage. The
Board is empowered to license and
supervise maternity hospitals, chill
dren's institutions, children's
boarding homes and to act as the
guardian of children committed to
it by the courts. 1t is required to
investigate all homes where chill
dren are placed for permanent
care or adoption.
In the ten years since January
LIST, 1918, there has come to the
attention of the Board 1889 cas-
es of iHegitimate children, 3,074
placements, 1917 petitions for
adoptions, 5,770 miscellaneous cas-
es of which 800 are cases of
guardianship 3,697 commitments
of predetermined persons and 908
inquiries. AT the present time
the Children's Bureau is working
on 11,340 active cases. Annually
it has licensed approximately 200
maternity hospitals, 20 children's
institutions, Is child placing agen-
cies and since 1923, annually, it
has passed upon the fitness of APP
proximately 1000 boarding homes.
This work is carried on for the
Board of Control by its Children's
Bureau. However, in order to Sc
cure local cooperation and sup
port, the law provided, as herein
before stated, for the appointment
of county child welfare boards.
There are now eighty-one counties
with child welfare boards in the
State. The Board in Stearns coun-

and it was necesslta1ed on account
of the desire to Durn this low7grade
fuel at combustion efficiencies cor

Because of the ...rchanical prob

being ordered at this time. If the
locomotive proves serviceable, and
railroad operating officials say they
believe it will, sufficient additional
engines of this design will be pur-
chased by the Northern Pacific to

ty was organized in 1918. During
the ten years these laws have been
in effect, the county child welfare
boards have demonstrated their
value and usefulness in the field of
child welfare. While the State
can set up standards, supervise and
assist in the enforcement of law in
the county, yet the actual solution
of problems in the county must, in
the last analysis, be solved by the
community through its county child
welfare board in cooperation with
the county attorney, the probate
Judge, county commissioners and
other public officials.

The Black Cats are go-getters.
At a meeting held about two
weeks ago this live wire organlza-
ton of 80 of Sank Centres young
men decided to take the initiative
in raising funds for the purchase
of suitable uniforms for Sank
Centres Boys Band who are max
ing splendid progress under the
direction of P. W. Hanson.
A Valentine Dancing party on
the evening of February 8, at the
Sank Centre Armory, was the We
hicle selected to ta.se funds for
the purpose.
The Black Cats hoped to raise
a nice nest eggTfor this fund at
the Valentine dance which was to
be the first of a series. There are
46 members of the band, but so
caps, capes and duck trousers will
be purchased. The cost will be
about $3.50.
When the committee began to
circulate among the business men
they found them anxious to help
the good cause along. At this
writing, Wednesday afternoon, a
total of S505 has been subscribed
by $50 citizens. The Herald is
publishing herewith the names of
those who have contributed. There
are many others yet to be seen. 1t
is now hoped to raise enough
money at the dance to net the $3.50
after the expenses of the dance
have been paid. The balance of
the list will be published later. The
list follows.

Northern Pacific Places
Order for Target Engine
Nearly One-Half City Block Long
will Weigh Over 100000
Pounds

| The Northern Pacific Railway
Company today placed an order
for construction of the largest
steam locomotive ever built in
America.
F. E. Williamson, vice presi-
dent in charge of operation, in
making the announcement, gave
these details of the specifications
/ The locomotive will have a
length of 121 feet, nearly one-half
as long as an ordinary city block.
It's total weight. including tend
err, will be 1,082,5G0 pounds, or
Sal tons.
It will have a fire box 20 feet, 2
inches long by 9 feet, 6 inches
wide.
Its tender will hold 26 tons Of
coal and 10000 gallons, or rs
tons of water.
The enormous weight of this col
ossum will be carried on 20 pairs
of wheels, 8 pairs of which will be,
driving wheels.
The Northern Pacific last year
placed in service 80 haul it's North
Coast Limited through the noun
tain country, IL of the largest
steam passenger locomotives ever
brought into the northwest. These
locomotives are 104 feet in length.
The new engine will be II feet
longer.
The new locomotive Just ordered
is to be used between Mandan, N.
D.. and Glendive, Mont, where
ruling grades of 1 percent predon-
mate. On account Of these steep
grades it has been impossible to
handle with one locomotive east out
of Glendive and west out of Man.
dan, the tonnage that can be hand
led into those terminals with one
of the Mikado type locomotives
now assigned to that territory:
1t is now necessary to reduce the
tonnage in both directions through
this territory, and assignment of
this large locomotive will enable
the railway company to move the
same tonnage through this area as
is delivered to it from either end.
The tractive power Of the Mix
ado type is 63,460 pounds, while
the tractive effort of the new To-
connective will be $4,000 pounds.
The trailer will De equipped
with a booster which will exert
tractive effort of 13,400 pounds,
making the total for the locomo-
tive 150,400 pounds. .
The locomotive, which introduces
many new construction problems,
has been designed entirely by
Northern Pacific engineers. The
principal problem is the ability of
a mechanical stroker properly to
distribute coal over a fire-box
which is larger than any hereto
fore built.
"This locomotive will be largest
and most powerful steam locomo-
tive ever constructed" Mr.. Will
hanson said" In addition to the
enormous size OF this unit of pow
er, perhaps the Irust interesting
feature is the fire-box, which has
been designed to uurr, semi-bitum-
nous coal mixed at the Northern
Pacific's open strip mines at Col
strip, Mont. In order to handle
the large quantity Of fuel requir-
ed for operating a locomotive of
these proportions it has been nee
essary to provide fire-box with
width of ia inches and length
of 266 inches, with CRATE IA
inches by 230 inches, giving a
CRATE area of 1873 square feet. This

was also current that price advances

That world requirements Of wheat
