Sham Battle
Was Staged

The young men residents of Hobart
township recently declared war upon
the jackrabbit population of that vi.
cinity.
The offending rabbits had been no.
ticed mobilizing in large numbers
along the river bluffs, and something
had to be done.
Last Sunday was the time selected
for a drive, with the jacks we'll en-.
trenched along the river. and the re-
porters, photographers and spectators
well back out of the danger zone.
Charles Faust, acting as commander
in chief of the attacking party, led the
onslaught, and the old hills probably
never witnessed such bombardment
as ensued. The snow banks were
nightly disturbed by the charges of
buckshot and soft-nosed bullets.
The onslaught had the desired ef-
feet, and it was not long until the rab-
bits had left their trenches and were
in full retreat.
After the drive roundup ensued at
headquarters, where hot coffee and
lunch was served, and an inventory
was taken to get the results of the
campaign.
One dead rabbit mutely testified to
the destructiveness of modern warfare.
Testimony from various members OF
the army showed that one rabbit at a
time had been seen in as many as five
places during the assault on the
trenches. After all, the event was
considered some hunt, and those pres.
ent went home with the firm convic.
ton that it is preparedness that
counts.

Will Spend Over Two
Million on N. D. Roads
(By J. w. Bliss, State Engineer)

(By J. w. Bliss, State Engineer)
Bismarck, Feb. 22.-The problem of
road maintenance begun when the
first improved road was built, and it
will grow in Importance until finally
when the last mile of improved road
has been finished it will be the one big
and only problem in regard to high
ways. AS there are now approximate
ly $4,000 miles of improved earth roads
in North Dakota, it is question that
must be considered. During the last
10 years townships and counties have
been constantly building more and bet
ter roads, which must be properly
maintained or the money spent on
them will be total loss. A township
or county building would not be al
lowed to suffer for want of paint or re-
pairs, as the economy of keeping that
building in repairs suggests itself as
the need becomes apparent, but very
often improved roads, we'll enough
built in the first place perhaps, are
neglected until they could not be rec
ognized as ever having been improved
very often to the point where it will
cost as much to repair them as the
original cost of building.
With good care earth roads may be
considered fairly permanent, and will
meet the traffic needs of the state for
some time to come. They are not par
ticularly difficult to maintain, since
practically speaking the whole prob
lem of the care and maintenance of
earth roads may be solved by the time
ly use Of the road drag or light push
grader. The big difficulty is found in
initiating the work of dragging, get
ting organized and securing the help.
Counties and townships might much
better build a few miles less of roads
during the coming season Of 1916 and
systematically drag those already
built, than to expend their entire re.
sources for the season on new work
and neglecting the previously built
roads. A smaller system of we'll
maintained roads is of greater credit
to township or county than more
extensive system suffering for want Of
care. Also, the smaller system of we'll
maintained roads will be of more act
ual service to more people than will
the wider system that is not so main.
tanned.
There will be spent for the building
and maintaining Of roads and bridges
in the state of North Dakota this COM
ing season of 1916, over two and one.
half million dollars: It is urged that
every township and county board in
the state set aside a percentage Of the
amount available for road dragging.
Road officials of any township or
county that has not already adopted
a plan of systematic road dragging can
be assured that money so spent is
wisely spent indeed, for "a stitch in
time saves nine." Let the motto, then,
for 1916 be Build better roads and
drag all improved roads when they
need. it,"
