What Is money worth as compared to a boy’s Iitet “i This sentiment was expressed to- day by an- active supporter of the campaign‘to put a swimming, pool in Bismarck. ~- ; ‘ The Elks’ committee in charge of the affair radiated confidence and de- termination today. The boys’ com- mittee which sold bags of cement Sat- urday in the city reported about $2,- 000 for the fund. They made small sales all through the city. The money the boys brought in was not what inspired the committee.with enthusiasm—it was the report that ‘they found a_ general’ sentiment through te city, among ‘people of all ages, all classes, in favor of the move- ment. “The thing is going over,” declared a member of the committee today. “Work on that pool is going to be started in ten days.” 2h Everybody te Help On Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week every citizen is going to ‘be asked to lend his financial aid to ‘the movement. The Elks are prepared to provide the greatest single contri- bution. A letter was handed-to L. K. Thomp- son, a member of the committee, with a check from a voluntary contributor. The letter read: * “Enclosed find a young check. \Knowing you crave exercise, any time you feel the. need of labor buy a sack of cement and-help the swimming pool. If you can work out more than this Jet me know.” he men behind the movement are prepared to answer the many specu- lations. regarding the pool. : : Site Excellent. First of all, they say positively that competent engineers have investigated the site in Custer park, the drainage, water supply, and all other problems connected. It is an ideal Site, they say. It will drain easily. The pool can be built cheaper at this spot than at any other in the city. Second, the cost of maintenance is negligible. A letter from a man re- “garding the Grand Forks pool said: -“T might say that last year the small charge we made fgr locker rent, bathing suits and towels exceeded the expense of operating the pool by. over $100.” “The charge was only. for per- sons over 16 years of age: A full descriptidn of the success of “the Grand Forks pool will ‘be outlined in The Tribune tomorrow.

W. is expressed by the resolutions of the committee on resolutions but I was so impressed with what, to me, was a joyful; home- coming that b must individually as well as the executive officer, express my sincefe thanks to all of good old Bismarck. I had a personal pride and interest in our session here because I wanted to ‘show off’ Bismarck, my old home, and I wanted to show Bis- marck the kind of men I am associated with. I am proud of Bismarck and I am proud of my associates. Bismarck more than came up to my expectations in its cordial: welcome. Every hotel and business man séemed to be glad that we ~ere here and on the Jook- out for ways and means to entertain. The Commercial club and Town Criers helped us in many ways. The Masonic’ bodies rendered us a great service by granting the use of the temple for ong evening. The city commission re- ceived us cordially and helped in the success of our session. The Bismarck ‘Tribune has the grateful praises of our representatives and myself for the many courtesies extended and the excellent manner in which it reported the coming and the proceedings o! our session. I know that this kindness was all due to the good, wholesome hospitality of the people of Bismarck but incidentally Bismarck has won the-good will and praise of men from all corners of the states of North Da- kota, Montana, Idaho, and California. You must know that after spending twenty years of my life in Bisamrck I had a particular interest in this gathering of ours and now that. it is over and our boys have gone home with the praise of our city on their lips I am happy and glad that I can say that I lived in Bismarck.

Burdick, state president of the North Dakota Farm Bureau Federation and member of the board. of directofs of the United States Grain Growers, Inc., declared on his return from Chicago that he found it necessary in the Chi- cago conference to speak plainly about the. situation in North Dakota. “There were so many knocks at North Dakota by members of our own committee, who wereignorant of con- ditions there, and simply took their views from unfriendiy newspapers,” said Mr. Burdick, “that at last I esked for permission to speak for 15 min- ites, and have my remarks incorpor- ated in the minutes.

LIGNITE {Senators Urge That Appropria- 's tion. be Utilized by - Government |BRIQUETTING PROJECT Early Beginning of Scientific ~ Tests on New Scale is Expected Washington, , May 23.—Experiments in briquetting the lignite coal produced in North and South Dakota will begin shortly at an experiment station.to be established by the. department of the interior at Scranton, N. D., An appro- priation of $100,000 was made for this purpose four years ago but the step taken at New Salem, N. D., last year to make the experiments did not- go through. Niaal Senators P. J. McCumber and E. F. Ladd of North Dakota, and Thomas Sterling and Peter Norbeck of South Dakota, called upon Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall and urged him to begin experiments to determine whether the North Dakota lignite could be briquetted and placed on the mmaret| at a reasonable cost. They urged this. because of the high price of coal in the Dakotas and the urgent need for some practical way of ‘utilizing the of lignite in the north- west. apa sabes ae | ‘All the reports'of the geological sur- vey heretofore have been to the effect that lignite can be used economically in the manufacture of, producer gas. The same quality of coal is being| briquetted in Europe and used in the industries and in the home at a com- paratively small cost to the consumer. It is contended by representatives of the two states that with bituminous and anthracite coal at-present prices it will be commercially feasible to utilize the northwestern lignites” The main difficulty in the experiments made up to this time has been the elimination of water and finding a suc- cessful, binder for the dried powdered ‘coal. a Should the experiments be success- ful the people of North Dakota and South Dakota will be relieved of the great, expenses of buying coal pro- duced in the east and which carries a heavy freight rate to the place of con- sumption. t ODD FELLOW Poles Start up Factories and Foundries While Germans Gather to Fight Paris, May 28.—(By the Asso- clated Press.)—The allied high commission in Upper Silesia has sent delegations to Intervene with both the Germans and Poles and endeavor to obtain the cessation of all military operations in that territory, according to French of- ficlal dispatches today. The del- egations are composed of French, British and Italian representa- tives. London, May 23.—The British gov- ernment has decided to send troops to Silesia at an early date, is was an- nounced today. , > The decision to send the troops re- sulted from an exchange of views be- tween Great Britain and France, and the British force will be sent to re- inforce the allied sentiment in Upper Silesfa in the near future. It is understood that not less than four batallions will go. CONDITIONS REMAIN. London, May 23.—(¢By the Associa ed Press.)—The correspondent of the London Times in Oppeln reporting German “irregulars” ‘military opera- tions in Upper Silesia declare thit Germany has been concentrating forces and making) preparations for a fortnight. Indications, the dispatch said, point to a determined effort to recover possession of Upper Silesia from the Poles. The movement is regarded by tha correspondent as far more serious than a mere reaction of the German Population against,the. insurgents. He asgerted that the inter-allied commis- sion was unable to prevent the out- break of fighting and is not just as powerless to intervene. Apparently the Germans have reg- ular army reserves at their disposal. Poles Strengthen. The Polish insurgents, according to the-dispatch, have been steadily con- solidating their positions and ext2nd- ing their control over the industrial distritts of Silesia. They are reported to have succeed- ed in starting work again in mines. foundries and factories and now are squeezing the allied authorities. out of tbe towns they still occupy in order to complete ‘their hold on the, rail- ways betwen Kattowitz and Gleiwitz. Cut Off Food Supply. Every sort of pressure is being em- Ployed to compel the surrender of these two important towns. No food is being allowed to enter them but as this has not proved effective the water and electricity supply of Kattowits were cut off yesterday. Inhabitants of Beuthen and Kattowitz have approach:- ed their local district controllers ac- cording to the dispatch, and have ask: ed them to make terms with the in- surgents, declaring they were tired of waiting for the allies to do something and were without. confidence in the inter-allied commission's power to re- store order.
