The Bismarck quota of | the $5,000,000 fund has been set at! $1,985. The North Dakota quota is $26,000. Only the interest on the fund will be used for the relief work, now aided by the Red Cross and the Knights of Columbus. Prominent Bismarck men and wo- men who conducted the Liberty and Victory loan drives during the war “will aid the service mon in raising | the local quota. Short speeches will be made at} the meetings of the Kiwanis, Rotary, | Lions clubs, and the Masonic and| Elks lodges next’ week. Bismarck | ministers. will make announcements of the campaign from their pulpits | on Sunday. The general committee in charge of the Bismarck drive is as follows: H. P. Goddard, chairman, H. J. Duemeland, Mrs. F. L, Conklin, Mrs. F. L. Shuman, Robert Webb, H. S. Dobler, Dr..W. E. Cole, E. H. Russ, and L, P. Warrcn. Teams will be selected next week to have charge of the actual work of | raising the money. The teams will! make a canvas of the entire city on! Thursday, Friday and Saturday and every resident of the city will be asked to contribute to the fund. + M, H. Sprague, state chairman of “the North Dakota campaign, made the following appeal in a letter to- day to the people of Bismarck to aid . in the campaign: “When the boys marched away to war in the thrilling days of 1917- 1919 a wave of gratitude towards them swept the country. The people oi this community and of the entire nation felt and said that everything possible should be done to express their appreciation of the services and sacrifices of the men who were shouldering rifle and pack. They as- sured them, definitely and solemnly, that the nation would remember ; them and what they were doing. “A way to give concrete expression to that feeling and those promises is now presented. Thousands of those boys who marched jauntily away to war are stretched, pain- + racked wrecks of the men they were, up on hospital beds. They need help. Orphaned and dependent chil- dren of veterans need help also. “Their need gives opportunity to redeem the pledges which the nation made to its defenders when they were rising so splendidly to the country’s need. The country recog-! nizes its obligation to them. It is welcoming the opportunity to dis- charge it. This is evidenced by the generous response being made every- where to the $5,000,000 fund which The American Legion is now raising for work for these mounting cas- ualties’ of war. | “The Legion will use the income from this fund exclusively for the rehabilitation work which it is and |ti has been doing for the disabled and for its work for war orphans. The fund has been set up as a trust in perpetuity. Every possible sa! guard has been thrown around it. In this way, it is assured that this work will be carried on properly so long as a disabled veteran or an or- phan needs it. ‘The Legion is the logical agent to carry. out the public’s obligation | to these men and children. By its work for them, it has demonstratea! unusual capacity and effectiveness in that field, “A committee of nationally promi- nent persons is sponsoring the en- dowment fund. President Coolidge, members of his cabinet, leaders in industry, finan labor, art, id every field of national life are m bers of the committee. That is suffi- cient guarantee to the public that the need in genuine, that the Legion is the proper agent to meet the situa- tion and that the fund will sur! a Blgnly: useful purpose in the nation’s i There should be and I know there will be adequate response to the appeal for the fund in Bismarck.” {H.

CROPS THREE WEEKS AHEAD IN NORTHWEST: ted Press) ‘Present Prospect For Great Grain, Yields Could Not Be More Promising The condition of grain crops in the Northwest states, North Dakota, Minnesota, ‘South Dakota and Mon- tana, is extremely satisfactory, ac- cording to reports reaching here to- day. Exceptional spring weather has continued and outside of a few local districts, seeding and other farm work have gone ahead without in- terruption. There are a few spots in South Dakota where rains are needed, while in Northwestern North Dakota the ground has been too wet. These conditions, however, are only local. The crops are now from two to three weeks earlier than an average year. With favorable growing wea- ther, they should be in condition to withstand the usual hot winds of July. The seeding of wheat is prac- tically completed and coarse grain will be finished within a short time. In the Southern districts farm- ers have started corn planting. With favorable weather, it will be general next week. There is apparently a sufficient amount of good seed for all requirements. A slight decrease in the durum acreage is reported in some sections of North Dakota, but in South Da- kota durum will probably show an increase, There have been good rains during the past week which have put ie ground in shape for new brea This land will be used for flax. While it is too early to estimate the flax acreage, indications point to an in- crease over last ‘season. With the exception of wheat, the state of Montana has the best crop conditions in a number of years. There has been. plenty of moisture, which is so. necessary in that territory. Present prospects for the North- western crops could hardly be more promising, the reports indicate. R. R.

D., May 1.—A. Leonard, professor of geology at the state university here and state geologist, today told the North Da- kota academy of Science that the quantity of lignite in North Dakota is so great “that the supply may be considered as practically inexhaust- ible.” The deposits are confined to the western half of the state where the workable beds’ are included within an area of approximately 28,000 square miles, he said. The address, which was illustrated with maps and slides, follows: No less than 100 coal beds over four feet thick are known to be pres- ent in western North Dakota. Twen- ty two of these are in Slope, Bill- ings, and Golden Valley counties. They range in thickness: from 4 to 35 feet, and the aggregate thickness of these 22 coal beds is 192 feet. In McKenzie county there are 15 to 20 coal beds over 4 feet thick, and in Dunn county 14 are known to be present. From three to five work- able lignite beds are known to occur in each of the other coal producing counties. The lignite beds vary in’ thickness from a fraction of an inch to 35 feet and over. Beds six, eight and ten feet thick are common, half a dozen are known which have a thickness of 20 feet and there are at least two with a thickness of 35 feet. Many of the individual beds cover large areas. One which is well ex- posed in the Badlands of Billings and McKenzie counties has been traced a distance of 45 miles and doubtless has-2n area of 1,500: to 1,800 square miles. Another lignite bed is known to extend no ley . than 50 miles along the Missouri ad Lit. tle Missouri rivers, and its area is probably not less than 2,000 square ;miles. Many of the coal beds, par- ticularly the thinner ones, are less persistent and the area covered by them is comparatively small. There is thus a great variation in the ex- tent of the lignite beds as well as in their thickness. North Dakota is fortunate in con- taining such vast deposits of lignite coal. Single beds whose extent and thickness have been determined are known to contain billions of tons. It is possible to estimate approximate- ly the quantity of lignite in the state. Assuming the aggregate thickness of workable coal beds within 300 or 400 feet of the surface is 16 feet, and this is a very conser- vative ‘estimate, and that this thick- ness underlies the entire area of 28,000 square miles, the quantity of lignite in North Dakota is 516,000,- 000,000 tons. Among all the different astron- omical phenomena, the one which 1s of most interest to the ordinary per- son and has the most influence on his daily life is the rising and sect- ting of the sun, E. F. Chandler, of the state university, told scientists at the ‘state academy of science. Provided with certain tables, a nautical almanac or astronomical table showing declination of the sun, and a knowledge of latitude, a per: son “by a simple problem in trigon- ometry” can compute thé hour of sunrise and sunset, the scientist said. But “few are provided with such tables” and hardly one of the col- lege graduates who studied spherical trigonometry has sufficient use for the knowledge to be able t& figure this time independently, Dr. Chand- | ™é ler said. Patent medicine almanacs with their schedules of times for sunrise and sunset in “eastern, northern, and southern” divisions, bring “ab- pert results in North Dakota,” he Mr. Chandler said that a table had been prepared by his department, from which sunrise and sunset time could be figured by the layman, These tables. show the time of the rise and set of the sun at the north- ern and southern edges of the state where the latitudes are three degrees different. He explained to the scien- tists how these calgulations could be made in a simple manner from the charts obtainable at the university. 1924 Pool of ne ‘Wheat Growers Closed sed Thursday The As ‘Kesociate 4 nd Forks Ne De May tthe 1424 pool of the North Dakota Wheat} Assaciation closed night and beginning: today all wheat’ Spenires will rie Tu Bente 1926 pool, according to it, sec Move than thiee-fouths of the whedt! in the 1924 pool has hee sold, ac- cording to Mr. Scott, who declared that the average price received had been good, but that no figures c1 ibe. wise ‘until the annual veer rs Major R.
