HAVE POST ON FUEL BOARD Poplar State Executive Accepts Important New Position With Baker WILL DISTRIBUTE COAL Former Secretary of Control Board to Handle Bituminous and Anthracite Ernest G. Wanner, founder of the North Dakota home guard association and who retires September 1 from the secretaryship of the state board of control after having given’ North Da- kota more than five years’ efficient service, has accepted an important post with Capt. I. P. Baker in the federal fuel administration for North Dakota. The new duties upon which Capt. Wanner will enter September 1 will embrace supervision of the dis- tribution of all bituminous and anthra- cite coal consumed in North Dakota during the ensuing winter. It will de- volve upon Capt. Wanner to see that commuinties which depend upon im- ported fuel are kept warm during the winter, and the task is an exacting and vital one. Probadly no man in North Dakota has a better general knowledge of the state than Capt. Wanne~. His long connection with the state board ot control has made his thoroughly fa- miliar with every mile of territory in North Dakota, and his duties with the board have-been along lines similar to those to which he will devote his at- tention with the United States fuel administration. Capt. Wanner is a veteran of the Spanish-American war, in which he fought with the glorious old Fighting First which is now giving so good an account of itself in France. Although still a compratively young man, he has for more than a quarter. of a century been active in the commercial and public life of the state, and his friends feel that Capt. Baker is to be con- gratulated upon a very fortunate se- lection. BUY W. $.

London, tng., Aug. 28.—With the gradual flight of Turks and Germans trom Palestine, law and order are again being restored, and inhapitants of the occupied territory are pegin- ning to realize what good government is like. isngland has issued a decree reestab- lishing civil courts in Palestine and assigning a court of appeals in Jeru- salem. ‘Two additional courts of the first instance will sit at Jerusalem and Jaffa with special courts in the other dfstricts. It is the plan of the government to have the staff of the courts consist as fa ras possivle of native inhabi- tants ,assisted by British officers po- sessing legal experience and knowl- edge of Arabic. The salaries of these local officials have been increased, doing away with any temptation of bribery, the cource of evil in the Turkish administration. uocal law will be administered un- altered, except for speciel military operations, when military decrees will of necessity take precedence. The work of religious courts will not be interfered with and Moslem re- ligious courts will be allowed to do their work in their own ¢stricts. Palestine, which now has a popula- tion somewhat less than 650,000, can support by agriculture an additional population of 300,000 under present conditions and a second addition of 300,000, after irrigation dams and other construction works have been built. Other improvements w!.ich Pales- tine sorely needs are better roads and more of them. Some few light nar- row gauge railways might also be con- structed, and better ports provided. Haifa is at present the only fairly good one. Jaffa, the next best, might however, be rendered more secure. BUY W. S. TABLE CLOTH MAKES (By Newspaper Enterprise Ass'n.)

The board of control has set Sep- temcer 6 as the date upon which bids for automobile license tags will be re- ceived. Last year North Dakota paid 17 1-2 cents per duplicate set for these tags. June 14 manufacturers offered to contract for next year’s supply at 21.5 cents. This tender was withdrawn when the au‘omobile registration de- partment was litigated into supreme court in the assault madevon the con- stitutionality of the act by the cities of Fargo. Grand Forks and Bismarck. South Dakota is now paying 28.5 for its ‘tags, and Secretary of State Hall is inclined to doubt that North Dako- ta can obtain any more favorable price. The state probably will use 80,- 000 sets of tags. The\board of cntrol will put up the money, depending up- on the next session of the legislature to reimburse it for this expenditure and to correct the defects in the mo- tor vehicle registration act which omit a constitutional provision for the purchase of supplies and the employ- ment of necessary clerical help.

The change, it was said at the conference, will do away with much of the Gomplaint on grain grades, and ~ will. mean. better grades for North Dakota farmers and grain dealers, ‘The railway commission has taken the matter under advisement, and has the assurance that the. bureau of markets of the department of agriculture will co-operate in every possible, manner. The change is one that must be made by congress. , Co-operation Is Offered “The bureau -of markets will co- operate , with your railroad commi: sion, ‘and will méet with it at any place and at any time that it de- cides, for the establishment of a North Dakota department of federal inspection,” said G. L. Livingstone, chairman of the Washington commit- tee. “It is important that every state have a good inspection department, and we would like to see an inspec- tion department in North Dakota that would be a model for the country.” Minnesota Grading Uniair The grading by “Minnesota state inspectors at the Minneapolis ter- minal was unfair to the North Dakota shipper, and that their grades were always: ‘upheld upon appeal to the Minnesota grade board of appeal, oc- casioning a loss when the grain had been bought for a higher grade, was the substance of complaints made ‘by several elevator managers. ; “Who is to stand the loss?” quired C.B.

McGovern, chief grain inspector for North Dakota, “when the elevator manager,,will fix\fhe grades to his own grain: ‘The grain buyer in North Dakota “is more Competent to do this than any.other living man.” -The matter of making, appeals to the federal inspector in Minneapolis was discussed briefly, it being point- ed out that appeals on grades should be taken direct to him within 48 hours after’the grain has been in- spected.
