BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE HAVE LESSONS ~ TN ECONOMIES Committee of National Defense Council Wiil Teach Business * Men How to Save A commercial economy committee whose aim will be to teach merchants to reducé ‘waste in nierchandising was an outcome of the meeting of the executive board of the North Dakota national defense council held here on Tuesday. This committee will show the merchants where they may cut the expense of delivering through union delivery service and fewer daily de- liveries; where they can reduce the cost of merchandise by uniting in the purchase of carload lots, and how in other ways they may do their share to cut the high cost of living. The com- mittee is not yet complete. and its personnel will be announced later. 300 Telegraphers Wanted. A call for 300 telegraphers, regis- tered men of military age who have not yet been drafted, was sent out by Dr. H. R. Rush of the chair of ro- mance languages at the university, and who has succeeded Dr. F. L. Me- Vey as head of the committee on edu- cation of the national defense council. Uncle Sam needs 50,000 telegraphers, wiremen, linemen, telephone men, switchboard operators and_ electri- cians. If those among the North Da- kota registrants who follow these lines of work will get in touch with Dr. H. R. Brush at the university he will tell them how they may perfect them- selves for service in the national arm through study at the agricultural co lege und the university, for which the government has made provision. To Provide Speakers. Dr. Brush has prepared a catalogue of speakers who will be available for patriotic addresses on any oceasion, and he requests that committees ar- ranging loyally programs call upon him at the university. Coal Strike Discussed. The coal strike which has been in progress in the Burlington fields, near Minot, was reported by Dorr Hf. Car- roll, chairman of the legal committee of the council, and it was unanimously avreed that the council should do all in its power to bring this dispute to an amicable adjustment. Financing Cared For. "yhe executive committee yesterday erproved the plan of financing worked out by. Dr. V. H. Stiekney and the sec- and which through personal ret nole: Di s will supply the $250 monthly required to meet oflice expenses. Th notes will be taken up through an appropriation which Governor Fra- zier will ask from the next legisla- ture. NEW YORK.PIERS TIED * UP BY LONGSHOREMEN New York, N. Y.. Sept. 19.—Piers of several trans-Atlantic lines in New York harbor are affected today by a ke of longshoremen. PRICES MORE STEADY ||GAMP |S.

The Congressional commit- tee having charge of tae internal revenue tax on icommedities have reco mended taat no tax be imposed on sugar. cofiee. tea or cocoa, This meaus no tax wniil congress ‘meets in Decenber and it now looks as if these foods will not be taxed. : Low and medium grades of coffee ‘are higher wholesale, but the best grades are the same in price. In a few days we will be able to announce price conditions with more cer- tainty than now. But do not look for radical fluct- uations. Another car of fruit just received. Boxes, crates and baskets everywhere. But this will last. only a few days. No change in prices except on crabap- ples and Cantaloupes. Crabs are $2.35 per box and we think the last for this year’s market. The supply is very short. Cant- aloupes 5c to 15¢ each. (The retailers are work- ing hard to give the con- sumer a fair price for their purchages but they, Bis- marck grocery men. have been ub against a proposi- tion that the people knew but little about and a very unpleasant one.) We are preparing to buy in car load lots when pos- ible'and then give the gurehaser the benefit of the saving in price.

Young tells the North Dakota railway commission, comes from Julius C, Barnes. “The government doesn't e to have any wheat consigned to it, but if con- signed to tha comnission a deduction one per cent will be made, so the ipper will not benefit any by con- ning direct to the government grain corporation,” writes the congressman, MAY NAME NEW HEAD | Announcement as to McVey’s Successor Expected Friday | Some definite announcement as the new president of the Univer: of North Dakota may be expected a joint meeting of the state board of: regents and the faculty committee at Grand Forks on Friday, Secretary Charles Brewer the regents: aj nounced today. to at oft :} Commanders to Familiarize Selves ed- politicians, we affirm that ay *, sas jis right and that Belgium has the ¢, With Conditions Before {right to its independence.” ‘zation of the military authorities.
