GOVERNMENT ORDERS OUT
FOUR N. D. COMPANIES
ouardsmen willing But Not En-
thusiastic Over the
Prospects

Bislparck, n. D.-Four National
gaurd armories are occupied to-
night by expectant, bronzed, vet
eran state troops who, with less
than six weeks respite after their
return from the Mexican boruel',
are again called into their coun-
tly's service for campaign which
may prove even more arduous.
The task of mobilizing natural
ly is progressing slowly. Many
guardsmen enlisted in Bismarck,
Mandan. jamestown and Dickin-
son, came originally from Neigh
boring towns, or since their re-
turn from the border have found
employment elsewhere. To no
tify these men and give them time
to reach the company base is not
matter of few hours, but may
require several days.

During the afternoon mes
sage came from General Barry ut
Chicago. commander of the cent
raj division, for the four cOmpan-
les to report at their Armories
and remain there awaiting furth-
or orders. 1t is presumed that
instructions to jamestown and
Dickinson companies to report at
Fort Lincoln will come during
Tuesday.
Military authorities at state
headquarters regard it probable
that the entire regiment will not
be modified until after congress
meets and acts. In any event, it
is certain that Fort Lincoln will

ROAD MAKING AND WATER

Road making is largely a mat
ter of moisture control. When
soil contains too much water it
becomes mud, when it has too lit
tie moisture, it becomes dust. But
there is certain moisture content
at which soil packs hard. And
this is just about the amount Of
i"nl:turc that soil will reaai!y
ho!d. This can usually be main
tanned in a road that has good
drainage, that is we'll crowned so
that the water will run off when
it rains and that is free from
grass and weeds. These. if al
lowed to grow, will soon draw the
moisture out of the soil and so re
move the binding material.

sA.y WEEK CAMPAIGN OF 1917

We are going to have another
Baby Week, the date set this year
is May l>t to 9th. 1916 was
Baby Year that was settled once
for all when more than two thous
and communities, scattered over
every state in the Union observed
the "Nation-Wid" Baby Week."
In our own state sixty commune
Ties reported to the government
as having taken part in this camp
align. Why did the President of
| the United States give his sane
ton 1" this movement, why are
the government and the General
/ Federation of Woman's Clubs
uniting to work for the welfare of
! the infant and child? 1t is be-
! cause of the great welfare of ba-
i bicS and mothers! More women
tiftcrn to forty-five years of age
die in the United States from con-
dition, incident to maternity than
froa ANY other cause except tub
crcdiusis. The death rate from
/; other prcvcntable diseases have
! been greatly reduced since the
year 1900, but these have appar.-
emily been no reduction i'm the pro

are sacrificed yearly to ignorance

HOW MUCH SWEET
GLOVER TO sow

Six to eight pounds Of scarified
Sweet Glover seed per acre gives
a good stand. If the seed is not
scarified. it is hard to tell just
how much to SOW unless a germ
ination test is made to find out
what proportion Of the seed will
grow. The hard seed may vary
from 5 to IS per cent. 1t will al
so be necessary to SOW more of
the unhulled than of the hulled
seed. 4

SECTION OF CULDESAC
Citizens P0werless to Stop the Flames
Until Three Blocks Had Been
Swept Clean

A special dispatch to the Lewiston
Tribune a y that three blocks of Cul
desac's business section were laid tt
waste Monday morning by a disastrous
fire that ragged with fury for more
than three hours. A defective and In
adquate water supply permitted the
flames to spread, and when the resi-
dents of the town finally put the
flames under control, which was short
1y after 10 o'clock, it a. estimated
that a loss Of $4,000 had been sus-
tanned, with insurance to owe little
more than half.
The fire broke out at 7:15 o'clock
in q lodging house conducted by Mrs.
Margaret Smith, the aus presumably
being a defective flue. Famed by a
light and veering wind the Are spread
both east and west Of the Smith build
ing, which is located on the north side
OF the main thoroughfare, licking up
the frame structures like so much tin
der. The intense heat served to make
the buildings on the north side of the
street easy victims, and with sparks
and burning embers flying through the
air it was not long before both sides
Of the street were ablaze, with the
out in large numbers, being
powerless to halt the destruction.
