peak pace Of 1928 miles an hour.
The Union Pacific's lightweight
aero-dynamic train, racing from Los
Angeles to New York in 56 hours and

locomotive running time and $500 off
the customary fuel cost for spanning
the continent.

soon can eat breakfast In California
and have his dinner in New York
City the evening Of the same day.
Passenger ease, convenience and
safety, as well as speed, are stressed
by airline operators as new travel
inducements-club-like comfort in
deepest quiet at speed of 200 miles
an hour and "sleep like a kitten" in
coy berths on new sleeper airplanes.
In the new model transport planes
the muffling Of engine noise, the
reduction of propeller noise and the
sound -proofing of cabin walls with
insulating material make for quiet
ness that is in marked contrast with
the din on the old airliners where
cotton for the ears was travel nec-
essity.
Fire Risk Eliminated
Studies Of airplane exhaust mani
folds have resulted in methods OF
carrying the gases clear of passenger
compartments. The bureau of air
commerce reports that improved In

D. c. PAYS HIGH
FOOD PRICES

Washington is paying higher
prices for it's food than most other
cities in the country.
This disclosure came today from
the Consumers Council of the
Agricultural Adjustment Admin
iStration, as a result Of study OF
the prices of 35 foods in 81 cities
on February 13.
For % Of the grocery items,
this city is charged more than
the average for the nation.
In only IL cases, six of which
represent canned goods, is the
Capital getting a break"
A typical example is found In
carrots, which cost more here than
in any other locality except Butte,
Mont.
In these two cities the price
was 7.6 cents a bunch on Febru-
ary 13, while the countrywide
average was So cents. Los An
geleS paid only 1.9 cents for the
same article.
On the whole, the foods for
which stores here charge more
than those elsewhere are dairy
products, meats, fruits and fresh
vegetables.
Canned goods, however, seem to
cost less here, as in the case Of
canned peas, priced at ISL cents
for a No. 2 can in washington,
and 16.1 cents as a countrywide
average

OF traffic congestion in Washing

Will Have Emergency
Crop Loan Office Here

Although no definite date has been
set. farmers soon will be able to make
applications for emergency crop loans
at the county agents office in the
World War Memorial building here.
according to J. A. Kramer. field SUI
pervisor for Burleigh, Sheridan and
Kidder counties.
Applications for loans in any amount
from $25 to $50 may be accepted by
the emergency crop loan office pro-
vided the farmer does not have suffi-
cient security to obtain q loan else
where, Kramer said. The maximum
loan to any one person Is $3.50.
Farmers applying for $50 or more
must first make application for the
loan to the Mandan Production Credit
association, recently organised to
serve farmers In Burleigh, Morton
Mercer, Oliver and part Of Mclean
counties. Rejection OF the applica-
ton by the association will be con-
sidered sufficient evidence that other
credit Is not available and the appli-
cant may then make application t.
the emergency crop loan office.
To secure loan, farmer must oh.
tain 3 statement from the county
production council that he does not
intend to increase his acreage o.

TAX PAYMENTS FALL
FAR BELOW YEAR Ago
Burleigh County Teachers Face
Prospect Of Accepting Reg
istered Warrants

Tax collections In Burleigh county
are $97. 1868 short Of what they were
a year ago, according to records in the
county treasurer's office. As q result
a serious financial situation confronts
the county, which also reflects on the
school districts. including the city Of
Bismarck. Unless some way Of fl
nancing the school districts IS forth
coming it may mean that teachers
will have to accept registered war
rants for payment Of salaries.
In Bismarck teachers were paid hall
their salaries for the last month,
though they will receive the balance
within a few days. according to
George Register. member Of the board
Of education. Last January and Feb
ruary the Bismarck district was COM
PEELED to take the same action, he
said.
In 1893 the total amount Of current
tax collections for February was
$268, 689.45 which, with $4.789.40 col
lected In taxes delinquent for prior
years. made total Of $273. 1883.
This year the total collections fol
February were $150, 5l6.26, with de-
linquent taxes from prior years Of
SIG, 766.24, or q total Of $l76,282.5O.
The county began registering war
rants on June 80, 1888 and to date has
registered ATS warrants, aggregating
$l26, 1868. They have called 800 for
payment amounting to SO, 1900
leaving q balance Of ST. $4,000 out
standing. The treasurer expects t1
issue a call for 500 additional war
rants within a few days, the amount
of which has not been determined.
