proud to send in Tor publication.
The women feel that they have
done one of their best years work
Besides other important things, hav-
ing raised the entire amount of their
pledge, which was $4,000 last year,
this being $4,000 more than was rails

Each church should report two
pastors, one for the thousands at
home and the other for the millions
abroad. Jacob Chamberlain.
Love knows no boundaries of race
or cline
HE that saveth his time from
prayer shall lose it; he that loseth
his time in communion with God shall
find it in blessing
"The church of Christ as a whole,
including all denominations, gives
less for the cause of the evangelical
ton of the world than is expended in
idolatrous worship at the shrines OF
a single heather deity in India, the
Goddess of Cruelty. Meanwhile
Christians, after all their enpendi-
ture on comforts and Injuries, lay
up annually nearly one hundred
times the amount they give to for
|eign missions"

Motor Registration Act Of
North Dakota Proves Real
Wealth Producer

Almost 100000 was collected during
the biennial period ending June 30,
1915, from the Registration of motor
vehicles IN North Dakota, Secretary of
State Hall reports. These fees were
on a fat basis of SO per car. and OF the
total amount collected during the two
years, about 20 per cent came in the
last half Of the biennium. The secre-
tary of State has estimated that be-
cause Of Inadequate machinery for
compulsory registration and through
the fact that duplicate tags must be
issued, but only one displayed, at least
$4,000 cars have escaped payment of
this fee during the last year. If. as the
secretary of state has estimated, there
are now in the neighborhood Of $4,000
cars in North Dakota, and IL the next
Legislature adopts a new motor vehicle
registration measure which will be
submitted, fixing the average fee at IS
per annum, North Dakota win have for
good road work a fund OF 100000 in
1917. Out Of this, 1t is urged, the state
can very easily match the $4,000 to
which the state will be entitled under
the Shackleford federal aid act, which
would make available for state high
way work in 1917 a total of $4,000,
or sufficient to build good graded and
macadamized road across the entire
length OF the state.
The precise receipts from automo-
bile registrations the last two years
were $192,536.37, divided as follows:
Last six months, 1914, $9,629.79; year
1915, $79,50411; first six months 1915,
$103,402.47. -

SPEEDING UP
SHIP BUILDING
fBy Associated Press. !

al4Nby AbSOClaLeu TTeSS.J =
London. Dec. 27.-The question OF
expeditfng mercantile shipbuilding is
receiving attention from government
authorities and speeding up order
has gone forth to various shipyards
where the tonnage under construction
Is believed to be very large. Lack Of
men and materials seem to be the
chief drawbacks. and in all probability
skilled men will be brought back from
the front to enable further steel fur
naces to be opened while dilution Of la
Dor and utilization of women workers
viii probably be carried still further.
Besides the large number of orders
on hand. three shipping firms have
each ordered large cargo vessel of
over seven thousand tons. the p. and
o. Company have placed an order for
a big passenger liner and Furness
Witty have ordered seven big cargo
steamers. E1.-.s
In various yards around the coast
ship repairing is being conducted as
rapidly as the moderate amount of
labor will allow. the recent stormy
weather having caused a considerable
increase in the demand for repairs.
Several new steamers are being fitted
out, notably a ten thousand tonner on
the Clyde. a Royal Mail liner at Bel
fast and the twenty Thousand ton Fed
Star Belgenland whereon some two
thousand men are employed
In the Belfast district additional
building berths which have been
started will allow for the construction
OF sixteen large steamers. .s

TO
PROTECT
THE CITY
New Form Will Be Adopted
AS Protection On
Guarantees

Hereafter all contracts for city
work will be accompanied by a bond
which not only provides for the faith
full performance of the work according
to the terms of the contract, but which
will also cover the guarantee of the
work specified in the contract
This matter has been before the
commissioners several times, and the
city attorney was asked to give an
opinion as to whether or not the bonds
used in past contracts held the bonds
men liable for defects of work after
the contract had been finished: The
attorney found that the present form
Of bond did not---that after the work
has been finished and accepted by the
city. the bondsmen were released from
any further liability.
City Attorney w. II. Shure was in
structed to prepare new form of
bond that would cover the guarantee.
The meeting of the board of city
commissioners today was one of the
quietest that has been recorded since
the commission form OF government
went into effect. City Auditor A. r.
Watkins had nothing on the table to
be transacted
J. H. Dahl, commissioner of fire and
police, reported that he had investi-
gated the application of Thomas and
Joseph Polum to establish a pool hall
at 507 N. p. avenue. and recommended
granting a license.

Visit st. Louis in Inves-

At the meeting OF the city commits
sion this morning. City Engineer F. La
Anders, and r. b. Blakemore. commits
sioner OF water and sewer, were in
structed. to make a trip to st. Louis to
investigate two-piece segmental
block for sewer construction. manufac-
tured by the Evans & Howard Fire
Brick Co.
Segmental block will be used in Far
go in the new sewer contracts for the
first time this coming season.
A representative Of the Evans q
Howard company was present at the
meeting and stated that he would like
to pay the expenses Of the city en-
gineer to the Missouri city. The COM
mission thought that as long as this
work is in his department, Mr.. Blake
more should go also, and voted to pay
his expenses.
1t was brought out that there are
seven kinds of segmental block manu-
factured in this country-variations of
two general principles, one-piece block
and two-piece block
Commissioner Alex Stern stated that
as the one contract alone amounts to
100000, he thought 1t would be a good
expenditure to send the officials to in
lvestigate personally.

THE STRAND
How PhotopIays Are coIored,

Following the announcement that
The Sultana, a motion picture in ma
tural colors, with Ruth Roland as the
star, would be presented at the Strand
theatre, many requests have been made
for information as to how colored tilnls
are produced. There are two ways cf
coloring a picture.. One is by colorA6k
photography-that is, in the actuN
taking of the picture the colors are OBJ
tanned; the other is photographing the
scenes in black and white, like the or
dinary motion picture, and then color.
ing them by hand. 4fs
When a film is completed by one OF
the four companies producing features
for Pathe, 1t is sent to the home office
in New York. If the beauty OF the
photography is such that 1t deserves
|coloring. it is then sent to the Paris
studio, where skilled artists color each
scene Of the picture
When it is remembered that there
are sixteen pictures to each foot OF
film, and that each OF these little pic
lures is colored by hand. You can inn
|agine the enormity Of the task neces-
Esary to the Pathecolor process. A Ave-
reel film such as The Sultana. which
rs to be shown at the Strand today and
Thursday requires painting on $4,000
pictures. While this is a big job. the
results justify it, as Pathe- colored
films are startling in their beauty.

The Republican Is published in
Mountain Home as a business pro-
position. A competent printer able
to do his work draws wages of about
$500 day, which wages is fixed
supply and demand If the shop can
not do work enough to pay wages,
paper bills and overhead, it must
quit business or some one must
work for less wages than he could
get elsewhere. And the modern
printer will not work in that man
ner. Time was when the printer was
expected to donate his time and
salable space in his newspaper for
the good of many causes in which he
was supposed to be interested and
to support his family on the dona-
lions of his farmer subscribers. But
We notice that the farmers pay cash
these days. The above because the
Republican has been recently accused
of accepting printing orders from
both Republicans and Democrats.
The accusation was made as though
it were expected to sting. Further

that all of our people can read any
knock he writes of this city, without
