C. Salyer of Washington, D. C., director of the mi- gratory waterfowl restoration, bureau of biological survey, said in Minot Saturday. ied Only difficulties in land acquisition will prevent the Mouse River Valley above Minit from being created into the greatest migratory waterfowl re- fuge in the nation. Salyer made this plain in declaring that “we want a major project near Minot, but we see the possibilities of it being defeated through land ac- quisition failure,” and he emphasiz- ed the fact that the money available for carrying on the work must be 02 ligated by March 15, 1935. ‘Attempts at obtaining for the need- ed land prices in excess of what the biological survey can pay will result in prompt withdrawal of plans for the Mouse river project, which would include a dam and storage basin above the city, and the money will be ex- pended elsewhere, Salyer said. i Out of a dozen major projects Pro- | Posed in the nation, five of them are contemplated for North Dakota, be- cause natural conditions here are ideal for the propogation of ducks and other migratory waterfowl.

C., Oct. 22.—To say world is not nearly so convincing as to state that if all the postal cards pritted here in a year could be stacked the pile would be 200 miles high. If placed end tu end they would extend around the world nearly five times. This great plant repre- sents an expenditure of more than $11,000,000 for construction and equip- ment, and its annual output, based ‘on actual cost of production, amounts ; to about $14.000,000. All of the government departments {9d dialects and emergency agencies are steady customers of the government print- ing office. The post office depart- ment’s yearly printing bill includes about 200,000,000 money order appli- lestions, 0,000,000 —snecial-delivery slips, 10,000,000 change of address cards and other items in propor- tion. The number of money orders required, by the way, is considered | one of the surest barometers of trade conditions. When the demand for money-order blanks rises, it shows that business is prospering. The war department called on the Printing office to deliver 8,000,000 copies of reports and documents for the army in one year. The depart- ment of agriculture had more than Printed, so that the results of its research on such subjects as cows, babies, alfalfa, jJelly-making, model kitchens, and fox- {tur farming might be communicated country keeps the printing office busy | turning out specifications.

The big congressional job is the Congressional Record, so familiar’ to the American public. The Record in its present form goes back to March 5, 1873. From 1774 to 1789 it was called “Journal of Congress;” from 1/89 and until 1824 it was known as “Annals of Congress;” then for a brief period of nine years, until 1833, it was styled “Register of Debates,” only to be displaced by the title “Con- gvessional Globe,” which in turn was. displaced in 1873 by the present less. inclusive but more accurate name “Congressional Record.” Rapid Fire Action In 1873 the Record had 300 sub- scribers. Now 33,000 copies are Printed each day while congress is in have 300 pages the next, all depend- ing upon the copiousness of congres- sional oratory the day before. Copy for the Record begins to reach the government printers at about 7 o'clock in the evening, and the first edition is delivered at the homes or offices of senators and representatives in Washington at 5 o'clock the next morning. When a half-holiday makes Teal speed necessary, the printing office can set a 64-page edition of > ;Of printed matter, and the whole edition comprises about a million and meet the needs of the executive de- | partments for any quantity of printed |matter, whether a simple announce- ;ment printed on a single small sheet, jor a highly scientific work in a num- ber of volumes. All languages and dialects may be represented. The department of labor may have an immigration notice printed in seven languages, and the requirements of the library of congress have to be ;met by printing in about 65 languages Textbook for Printers During the fiscal year, 1934, the re- quests upon the government printing office for printing and binding by congress, the government depart- ments, and the various commissions organized and in a state of reorgan- ization, including the NRA and the other employment and relief agencies, exceeded by approximately 30 cent the peak figures of war times. The largest number of employees— 5315—was on the rolls as of Septem- ber 1, 1934. No longer is paper bought by truck- load or even single car lots, but by tiainloads. In addition to envelopes and other material requirements de- Lvered by truck, 40 cars a day have been delivered by the railroads.

There is one publication which a intimately related to the government Printing office and peculiarly its own. This is its well-known Style Manual, without which the work of typesetting, proofreading, and revis- ing would be difficult, expensive, and confusing. The Style Manual is the thousands of manuscripts of all kinds coming into the office, hundreds of Seeks His Parents Identified as Morris Jensen, al- ' though he denies that is his name, this 21-year-old youth of Barre, Vt, believes he was kidnaped from the home of wealthy parents in Chica. go when he was four years He has instigat “real parents.” say the boy was given them by a woman in Chicago.

For more than a year this board met and discussed policies. It consulted with scientific experts and dictionary, editors. It conducted research in order to be certain of the best usage.

Red Cross Is Active Unit HAS SERVED 17 YEARS Needy Persons Given Help ‘The Burleigh county chapter of the American Red Cross, which is one of the organisations included in the drive, was organized 17 years ago to, meet the emergencies growing out of World war conditions.

The latter has Continued to be the major obligation of the chapter and today there are hundreds of claims on file in the local, office for men from Burleigh and adjoining counties. As long as a need exists for this service, the Red Cross will look after it. In the past year, because of chang- ing government legislation regarding| soldier claims, the service has been, very active. Approximately 100 cases have been reviewed and presented to! the veterans’ administration offices for consideration. All files have been reviewed to determine the rights of widows to claims under the new reg- ulations, Several such claims have been filed.
