» * ENGNEERING FR TAKES LONG LEASE ON LOCAL BUILDING Lignite Combustion Engineer- ing Company Moves Into - Main Avenue Property Announcement that he has leased the building at 304 Main St. and will occupy the main floor and base- ment as an office and factory was made Saturday by C. C. Larsen, presi- Gent of the Lignite Combustion En- gineering company. The property is owned by Mrs. Jennie McKenzie, widow of an early- day judge of the Burleigh county court now living in Minneapolis. Above the first floor are a number of apartments which Mr. Larsen will sen’s firm for office space and as a shipping room while the basement will be used for manufacturing, sembling and fabricating the nume: ous products made by the firm, chief among which are stokers and coal burning equipment. Included in the Plant equipment is a complete lay- out for welding pipes, boilers, blow: ers and similar items. In the event it becomes necessary, Larsen said, there is considerable room for extension of the building at the back. The move into new quarters was made advisable, Larsen said, because of the necessity of grouping all de- partments of his business under one roof, although a warehouse on the Northern Pacific right of way will be retained for the storage of heavy materials. Is Pioneer in Field A pioneer in the development of equipment for residence as well a5 commercial use of lignite coal, the Lignite Combustion Engineering com- pany has taken rapid strides forward in recent years because of the in- creasing popularity of a stoker d signated and patented by Mr. Lar- sen. The product of years of study, it has proved economical in many in- stallations and the demand for it is}i,. growing, Larsen said. It is this development which has/30. caused him to go into manufacturing, giving employment to an average of five men throughout the year. Dur- ing the summer, when new Loared plant installations are being made, the number employed runs as high ‘as 60 on all phases of the work. In addition to this business, the company deals in or is agent for all kinds of power plant equipment such as boilers, pumps, blowers, pipe, valves and heat regulating and controlling devices. In addition, it is state dis- tributor for Reynolds Metallation, an insulating material which retains heat or cold by reflecting it from a highly polished aluminum surface. In addition to designing stokers for use with lignite coal, the company also has devised special grates for this purpose. It is the only company in North Dakota specializing in this field and, as a result, has installed most of the heating and power equipment at state institutions in recent years. Several other devices also are being] N made here for use on coal burning equipment in homes, this field being @ separate branch of the business. Larsen, who has spent most of his adult life in solving engineering prob- Jems relating to the use of lignite coal, sees a great future ahead for this North Dakota industry, assert- more popul comes available for burning it pro- perly.

Martell said a plan would be work- would be credited against the county and not immediately collected, per- mitting the projects to continue. | Church Notices FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Fourth 8t. and Ave. L, Jackson, Minister February the 24th, 1935. m.—The Church School.

PROPOSED MILK TAX STRICKEN FROM ACT Bill Aimed at Distributors’ Pro- fits Will Be Redrawn, Rep. Schnell Says A house bill which would have tax- ed milk three cents a quart and cream, five cents, will be redrawn and the tax eliminated, Representa: tives Ray Schnell of Dickinson and Geo, H. Saumur of Grand Forks, au- thors of the measure, said Saturday After receiving unfavorable com- ment on the from both producers and eatsibatorss at a Meeting Friday night of a sub-com- mittee on agriculture, Rep. Schnell said he would remove this provision from the bill. He stated his purpose in introducing the bill was to attempt to obtain some central regulation over production and distribution of milk, and to obtain a “fairer share” of the profits for the farmers “instead of the distributors.” Farmers in his district, Schnell _|said, are. not receiving a sufficient amount for milk sold to distributors. {Schnell said he may propose a tax on condensed milk sold in cans. A delegation from Minot which ap- peared in opposition to the tax, told Schnell “the entire state should not suffer because of a local fight.” They were Miss Haugland, ducer and also secretary of the Minot Milkman’s association, and Chris W. Linnertz, Minot protons -& and O. K. Spires, Burlington producer. ‘They told the sub-committee that Minot producers had organized and the farmers were receiving $2.50 a hundred pounds for 4 per cent milk, “land advised “other ‘eaaaial to form similar New York, Feb. 23.—()—Frank » the 67-year-old sand- wich-sign man who gained fame and a better job by finding bonds worth $42,000 and returning them. to the owner, went on a rampage early Saturday in the hotel where he lives, “Iam God,” he shouted. “I can kill anyone who looks at me.” While police and a doctor were attempting to restrain the sign carrier, M. J. Grycwacz, 40, walk- ed into the room and complained Of feeling ill. “I am God,” Greges shouted again, glaring at the newcomer. “I can kill anybody.” Grycwacz dropped dead. Greges already had sent one man to a hospital with a push down a flight of stairs. ‘The man who had given Bowery bums their greatest inspiration of the winter was taken to a Police station and there, with the body of Grycwacz lying only a few feet away, was held down by po- leemen until he could be removed to the psycopathic ward of Belle- ‘vue hospital. “I am God,” he shouted as a crowd gathered. “Nothing is too good for me. The hat I wear is worth $15. I have on $10 shoes. Nothing is too good for me. I am God. I can kill anybody who looks at me.” “People stare at me,” he ex- plained. “Ever since I found the money in Wall Street they stare at me all the time. “That's why I killed him. “I killed three today, but I had @ bad day. I usually kill from 10 to 15.” Greges was earning a dollar a day advertising a passport photo studio when he stepped from his sandwich boards and picked a wallet from the muddy gutter. In it were the bonds. He immed- fately notified police. That was on February 5. Belden and company, the brok- erage firm which had lost the bonds, outfitted him in new clothes, gave him $100 and a bet- ter job. The surety company gave him a reward and a weekly bonus. Every mail increased his wealth with checks from admirers all over the nation. =2'PROPOSE CHANGE IN SCHOOL FINANCING House Bills Would Throw More of Burden on State, Less on Local Districts ‘Three house bills which would re- vamp the system of financing of edu- cation in North Dakota, intended by its sponsors to throw the burden more on the state than school dis- tricts, were recommended Saturday i2d the house committee on educa- ion. One of the proposed measures, House Bill No. 255, would re-establish the state equalization fund for com- mon schools of the state and provide for distribution of aid on the basis of need in payment of high school tui- tion and direct aid to school districts on a teacher-unit basis. The aid would come from the proposed sales tax or from any other taxes or income Provided by the legislature for pur- poses of education. Another bill, House Bill No. 227, would reduce the maximum taxes to be levied by school districts, not to exceed a levy of nine mills on a dol- lar of the net assessed valuation ex- cept for school districts giving two years of standard high school work when the levy limit would be 11 mills, or districts giving four years of high school work where a 13-mill limit is Provided. School districts maintain- ing @ consolidated school could levy up to 11 mills. The proposed act also would pro- vide an additional levy for a school building fund and in certain instances where absolutely essential, to main- tain a third class rural school, the levy could total as high as $50 for each student enrolled during the pre- vious year. The third house bill is No. 226, which would permit counties to levy an additional four and one-half mills to be distributed among the school districts on an enrollment basis. According to Arthur E. Thompson, superintendent of public instruction, the new system would place North Da- kota on an advanced basis from the standpoint of the educational set-up, which has been approved by promi- rent educational authorities in the country, he said. Only one other state so far has a set-up such as pro- | proposed in this state. Tourney to Decide Girls’ Cage Title Denhoff, N.

Phone 561 ‘The American Government To- day’ Explains Uncle Sam's Aid to Farmer The American farmer is an impor- tant person—Uncle Sam so considers him—and in evidence thereof ren- ders the farmer a greater variety of services than any other member of his family, says Frederic J. Haskin in his new book, “The American Gov- ernment Today.” In_ 1839 congress appropriated $1,000 for collecting and distributing seeds, prosecuting agricultural inves- tigations, and procuring agricultural statistics, Less than a century later the appropriation was in excess of $250,000,000. And these figures have nothing to do with the hundreds of millions ex- pended on the farmer in the various activities of the farm relief program. Haskin also points out that wheu agriculture was given its first trifling allotment of funds the patent officc administered its affairs—why, no one seems to know—and it was not until 23 years later that the department of agriculture was established. “The American Government To- day” is on sale at the business office of The Bismarck Tribune, or orders may be sent by mail and the book will come to you postpaid.
