Elevator and Lumber
Yard Burn at Stirulrl

Fire broke out yesterday afternoon
In the large new farmers elevator at
Stirum, and it burned to the ground.
Adjoining were the Thompson yards,
containing about 175,O00 feet Of lum-
ber, which were burned. The hard
ware store of the lumber yard was
saved.
The fire is supposed to have started
from hot box. Five thousand BUSH
els of wheat were burned in the ele-
vator as well as other grain. The ell
evator itself was worth about $4,000.
A cry for help was sent to the towns
adjoining. Cogswell responded, reach
ing there with its fire engine about ten
o'clock last night. By hard work the
balance of the town, which lay in path
of the flames, was saved.
The elevator and lumber yard were
insured, but the amounts could not be
given this morning.

SOIL SURVEY OF

Sargent county is to have an invoice
of it's soil resources. A map showing
the type of soil on every farm is to lie
made by the North Dakota Agricultur-
al Experiment Station and the Bureau
of Soils of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Arrangements
for having this work done were made
by the county commissioners.
Each soil, type will be represented
by distinguishing color and report
describing the various soils will ac-
company the map. Plans based on all
field observations, experiments and
Investigations will be given for the
cropping and management of the var
ious soils. The fertility, water hold
ing capacity, drainage and ease of cul-
tivation will be important considera-
tions in classifying and mapping soils
Of the county.
The men engaged in this work will
be glad to help any of the farmers of
the county with soil questions that are
called to their attention. They will
have headquarters at several towns in
the county during the progress of the
work and can take up such questions
while they are in the respective COM
munities.
The work will begin about June first
and continue during the summer
months.

Older Mothers Remembered

X. p. hall was the scene of pleasure
and hospitality Saturday afternoon
when the Royal Neighbors entertained
tbe, elderly mothers of Oakes in their
usual cordial manner.
The hall was very tastefully decor
ated with rugs, plants, birds, parrots,
rocking chairs and beautiful bouquets
of lavendar sweet peas, which blended
nicely with the green foliage of the
ferns. The word Mother in lavendar
and white letters above the fireplace
was much admired. An excellent pro-
gram of songs and recitatons was
given, while several of our pioneer
mothers told stories of their early days
in Dakota which were very interest
ing.
dainty lunch was served by the
ladies', the tables being decorated in
lavendar and white. On behalf of the
mothers, Mrs. Miller thanked the Roy
al Neighbors for the enjoyable after
entertainers.
"There is just one,
And only one,
Whose love shall fail me never.
Just one who lives,
From sun to sun
With constant fond endeavor.
There is just one,
And only one;
On earth there is no other.
In heaven a noble work was done
When God gave man Mother"

Our country prosperous can pay our
war costs, as they come, and have
enough left overlto aid our allies.
Our country unprosperous, with bus
mess halting, money boarded through
fear or false economy, will be hard
pressed to keep food on the table and
clothing on the back.
Keep business going is patriotic
slogan. Keep money in circulation.
Keep employment for everybody. Keep
wages good. Keep on making money
that we may have money to spend for
war sacrifices.
The worst thing that could happen
to the world these days would be a
business depression in our United
States.
War in itself does not cause bust
ness depression.
The billions of dollars of money to
be expended in war preparations will
be put into circulation in our own
country, and this in itself will create
new wealth for use in the world strug.
gle for humanity.
The one thing that might halt bust.
ness now is an unpatriotic psycholog.
ical feeling of panic and a false idea
of patriotic economy.
Patriotic economy means the elimin
alton of waste and extravaganza. II
means the conservation of our food
products, our natural wealth, our en-
ergies, our health, our labor, our very
lives. 1t means putting more efficiency
in everything we do so that each unit
of money, energy and intelligence may
accomplish the utmost.
| Patriotic economy does not near
the lowering of Americas standard Of
living, which would make us less eff
cient physically and mentally, nation
ally and individually, and would kill
the spirit and the will to do the truly
self-sacrif1cing things to be done.
Cities and communities must go OF
with their civic improvements. Roat
building and public works must pro
coed. Railroads must renew theil
equipment. Factories must be kept go
ing to their full capacity. Labor mus
be employed. Homes must be kept up
Merchandise must be produced, dis
tributed, and used.
War duties and war expenditure.
must be in addition to peace dutie.
The Oakes times. [volume] (Oakes, N.D.) 1906-current, 1917-05-17

and peace expenditures. The more We
do the more we can do. The more
money we spend the more we will
have in our pockets to spend. Money
creates money.
In word: the natural sane life of
the country must proceed as though
we were not at war, in order that we
may have the necessary prosperity to
promote the war to quick and sue
cessful conclusion.
| President Wilson sounds the key
note in this sentence: cit is evident
to every thinking man that our indus
tries, on the farm, in the shipyards,
in the mines. in the factories, must be
made more prolific and more efficient" {"
| Our industries can be made more
prolific only if the people buy and use
the merchandise produced by our in
dustries. Manufacturing slackens when
business slackens. Manufacturing
grows in a prolific way when business
grows. And business can grow and
remain healthful only>when the people
buy and keep money in circulation.
Business is going strong, in the east,
the west, the north, the south. The
country is prosperous. Last months
increase in business was very large.
Banks may wait in their operations
until the government bonds are assin-
Hated. People may pause temporarily
in their outfitting to arrange to meet
the new conditions. But the unloosing
of billions of dollars will unloose a
flow of prosperity absolutely necessary
the sustain the worlds burden.
Governments set the pace in their
expenditures.
| Individuals must not lag behind.
: Seven billions of dollars to pay is
only $40 per capita in the United
States. Yet s7,000,o0O,oOO. put into
work at 6 per ,cent-a fair estimate of
the producing power of money-will
create $42O,000,000 of new wealth.
! The income tax we pay will not be
a tax on prosperity but spur to pros
perity. Every dollar the individual
pays out will come back to himAwith
interest in the general prosperity OF
. the people.
Keep business going-for our coun.
try's sake. War cannot be waged and
won without the sinews of war.

INSPECT ROAD IN
NEW YORK STATE
Lincoln Highway Officials EX-
anime New Type of
Construction.

DETROIT. Mich. Sept Henry
b. JOY, president and A. F. Bement.
secretary of the Lincoln Highway
association, have just completed
trip of inspection over the road from
Buffalo TO Albany, New York.
through Canandaigua. Syracuse and
Utica. for the purpose of inspecting
the type of construction now being
made upon this main travelled high
way. The road in question was orig
inalIy constructed of standard water
bound macadam. much of which de
Perforated rapidly and became very
bad. With the Inauguration of the
New York state patrol system, how
ever. the road has been constantly
maintained and oiled and kept in
good condition at an annual cost of
not more than $3.50 per mile each
year.
The work in which the Lincoln
/ highway officials were interested
consists in scarifying the Old maca-
dam surface and placing a three
inch covering surface consisting of
about an inch and "A half OF three
inch crushed stone. covered with as
phaltic emulsion rolled down, TO
which a surface coating of COW
grade of Texas asphalt is added with
a light covering Of broken stone
rolled into the surface asphalt. The
state highway department officials
informed the officers of the Lin
coin highway that il was estimated
that this new type of construction
will not require maintenance for a
period of 10 years. The cost is esti-
mated TO be about the same as an
equal width OF concrete paving.
In the advancement of Lincoln
highway work, concrete has been
advocated by the Lincoln Highway
( association ever since the establish
ment of the transcontinental route,

struction of a great deal of con-

Mr.. JOY did not say whether the

evident that the work inspected by
the Lincoln highway officials made
