Visitor to State During Summer of 1922 to View Resources and Feel Possibilities i : MANY TOWNS ARE BUSY “Invite a friend to North Dakota in 1922.” ~ This is the slogan urged for North Dakotans interested in the growth of the state through land settlement and immigration by Dr. J..H. Worst, state commissioner of immigration. This is the plan urged by Dr. Worst: If each resident of the state, particularly farmers, will invite some friend from “back east” to visit North Dakota during the summer the visi- tors will have an opportunity not only to enjoy a vacation trip but to see the accomplishments and view the possibilities of the state. North Da- kota can send these thousands of visi- tors back home ardent boosters for the state. Many communities of the state are taking up the problem of land settle- ment with vigor, according to reports to Dr. Worst. Development associa- tions at New Rockford, Harvey, Mi- not (Northwestern North Dakota as- sociation), Oliver’ County Develov- ment association, Leeds Community | club, Finley club, Bismarck Immigra- tion association, Powers Lake Devel- opment association, Cass County De- velopment association. The, greatest effort just now is be-| ing made in northwestern North Da- kota under the leadership cf the Minot Association of Commerce, Dr. Worst said. The effort embraces 10 counties. Ten thousand dollars is to be spent in the work. For Bismarck, Dr. Worst urges _in- creased activity for the Bismarck Im-; migration association formed by! realty men; for other cities and coun- ties in the slope district 'the organiza-| tion of an association. “They must not do as they did at Williston,” Dr. Worst said; “organize and then quit after a month because there were no direct results. Harvey has the right idea—they are starting in on a five-year campaign.” There are special homeseekers’ rates offered to North Dakota this| year. There ought to be thousands of people visiting the state, Dr. Worst; said. The Minot association plans to/| send two men into states to the south with moving pictures and to follow this effort with a “dirt farmer” who will mix with the farmers and talk North Dakota. The many inquiries received-by Dr. Worst: from: states to the: south and east indicate great interest now is be- nee manifested: in North Dakota, he said, « KIWANIS CLUBS OBSERVE WEEK Send Speakers to Clubs During “United States-Canada” ; Week Fargo, N.

RESIGNATION QF EMPLOYES IS REQUESTED Hint Given to Four Employes of Board of Administration, It Is Understood CAHILL TO FILE SUIT To Bring Mandamus Action— Capitol Restaurant Will be Closed April 15 2 a : Reorganization of the staff of the state board of administration will fol- low ‘soon, with control of the board having passed into the hands of ‘the Independents. It wag learned that four employes of the board’ have been handed the suggestion that the new board probably will not. desire to con- tinue their services, and that they {should begin looking for other places. It is: understood that the suggestion, was conveyed: that:the majority of the. board desired to. give the employes time in which to obtain other positions, and that while no demand for their resignations has been made formally they have been given to understand that if their resignations are handed in, effective April 15, they will be ac- cepted. Among those slated for early resig- nations are Ole Lund, auditor, and E. E. Rimbach, purchasing agent. Lund was mentioned some time ago as a possible ‘Nonpartisan league candidate for Congressman from the ‘Second dis- trict. Two others are understood to be slated for an early dismissal, in- cluding ‘Alfred Dale, assistant audi- tor. , Radical changes in the working force of the board of administration are not expected to be made with dis- patch, but places of men most active as Nonpartisan league workers are expected to be let go. It is not improbable that some of the positions made vacant will not be filled. The value of the audit work done in thae board of administration office has been a matter of difference of opinion among state officials ‘for a considerable time. There also is a de- sire upon the part of the new majority of the board to economize as much as possible, it is stated. Nonpartisan league control of the ‘board passed with the appointment of R. B. Murphy as member in the place of J. 1. Cahill. J. A. Kitchen, Commis, sioner df Agriculture and: Labor, and Minnie J. Niélson, state! superintend- ent, are ex-officio members. Geo. A. Totten has resigned, effective April 30, so that after that date there will be four Independents on the board. J. I. Cahill, who continued to sit up- on the board after Murphy qualified, is expected to allow Mr. Murphy to act and to take the matter to court. Mr. Cahill said today that within a few days he probably would file an action in district court to mandamus the state auditor or auditing board to al- low his salary for the month of March. The auditing board allowed it for 14 days in March. ‘One of the orders issued by the new majority is for the closing of the can- itol restaurant on April 15. The res- taurant, run by Mrs. Edward Charle- bois, probably will not be reopened this spring. It served a useful “pur- pose during the winter when em- ployes found it difficult to make a trip downtown during the noon hour for lunch. Mrs. Charlebois recently announced her candidacy for the po- sition of sheriff of Burleigh county. VOTE COLLEGE NAME CHANGE Fargo, April 5—By a vote of 437 to 12, students of the North Dakota Agri- cultural college voted to change the name of the institution to North Da- kota State college, it is announced in the last issue of The Spectrum, stu- dent publication at the college, which has been taking a roll of student sen-j timent.

Asserting that in- numerable inquiries had come to the department asking if funds might not be made available to those “arm sec- tions where crop conditions imposed financial embarrassment on the farm- ers, the secretary said: “The farmers of the country, espe- cially the west, might readily borrow money from their local banks if those institutions would rediscount some of the good agricultural paper now in their possession with the war finance corporation here in Washington. If the banks would resort to thjs proce- dure they would be able to meet de- mands. made upon them by farmers who actually need help and who can not be assisted. under the seed appro- priation act.” HEAD CRUSHED WITH AN AXE Concordia, Kan.

Under the present grading system grain might have excess moisture or ‘it might have an excessive amount of! foreign material, and there would be} no way for the distant buyer to know} that fact. “Only about 2 to 4 per cent of the wheat marketed in the spring wheat territory carries excess moisture and| only about 4 to 6 per cent of the spring! wheat carries.an excess amount of for- eign material other than dockage, yet grain bought under that suspicion usu- ally suffers a heavy penalty in‘lowered} price, ; “The buyer, now has no way of knowing whether the wheat he is buy- ing has an excess of either moisture/ or foreign material and he buys under | the suspicion that it might be so af- fected, and he therefore buyS as low SAY VAST SUMS WILL BE SPENT IN | LIGNITE PRODUCTION IN NO.

Plant In Mandan, Within two weeks the first plant of production, Mr. Jager said, and in July, August and September, other plants at New Salem, Glen Ullin and ‘Richardton will be opened. With_an initial expenditure of be- tween $250,000 to $500,000 its backers expact to increase the value of the new. industry to $50,000,000 within yhe next few years. “Perfume and artificial eau de| cologne from coal tar and a thousand different kinds of antiseptic from bogs of North Dakota sounds romantic but when operation of the first plant gets under way it will be a fact,” Mr.! Jager said. “Eight thousand miles of lignite mines dormant except for some experiments in the last seven years will tbe used to produce such essen- tials as lignite briquettes, gas that may be converted into electricity, a| substitute for gasoline, lubricating oil, dyes, benzine, benzol, paraffine, ammonia, perfume, carbolic acid and various other chemicals. b 1 ‘ Order Machinery i Plans for the development on a vast scale were made at a recent confér- ence here attended by Mr. Burns, Rev. | Hoenerbach, Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Jager.

COMMITTEE OF CONGRESS TRYS 10 END STRIKE iLabor Committee Seeks Confer- ence Between Coal Miners And Operators NO U. S. INTERVENTION Daugherty Says That Govern- ment Will Not Act Until Coal Supply Endangered WON'T JOIN CONFERENCE Toledo, 0., April 5—The Ohio Collieries Company, largest indi- vidual coal operating concern in Ohio, will not. be represented in the proposed joint conference of miners and operators in Washing. ton, on April 10. BOMBS EXPLODED. Beckley, W. Va., April 5.—Bombs. were exploded in front of the houses of Benny Chickenfeller and James Spade in the little mining village of Kilseyth late last night. State police arrested two suspects. Chickenfeller and Spade are miners who refused to join the strikers, By the Associated Press Interest in the coal strike centered today in the efforts of the house labor comntittee at Washington to bring about a conference of operators with miners looking to a settlement of the walk-out which hag affected more than a half million coal miners. Assured by John L. Louis, president of the miners, that the latter would negotiate with “any representative group of operators in the central competitive field even though not all could be induced to deal again with the union, Chairman Nolan of the committee invited representative operators of that field to meet in Washington’ Monday with union leaders. Meanwhtile the committee ig today hearing witnesses in its in- vestigation of the coal industry. President Lewis was in New York to speed up negotiation between operators and miners representatives which may bring an end to the strike in the anthracite fields where hundred and fifty-five thousand men are idle. The miners’ scale committee an- nounced, however, that negotiations of separate contracts was against the international union’s policy. Union miners in the bituminows fields are out'100 percent, leaders say, but the support given them by their don-unign brethren is still vague. Miners claim -the strike is. gaining strength in the non-union districts. Operators insist they are operating normally. Anthracite operators have promised to correct violations of the strike order whereby mine bosses re- place union maintenance men in the maintenance of the mine. The government will take no action until the public is menaced by. the coal shortage, Attorney-General Daugherty said in announcing his determination that “men have a right to quit work and men have a right to employ other men.” The strike, has resulted in only minor disorders. SCALE COMMITTEE MEETS, ‘St, Louis, April 5—The scale com- mittee of the three Illinois coal oper- ators’ association will meet in Chi- cago tomorrow at 10 A, M. to decide whether they will meet union repre- sentatives as requested by the house labor committee, it was announced here today.
