GALL FOR FOOD.

North Dakota can best serve the
nation in this crisis by energetic, in
tensitied farming. The acreage should
be increased as much as Is feasible
with the labor and machinery at
hand. II men could be sworn into
the federal service and be assigned
to North Dakota farms for the next
six months, they could do more good
In preparing the soil for u bumper
crop than if they were to devote
themselves to military training.
Bread bullets will win the war.
North Dakota is one of the chief arse.
nails for this kind of ammunition.
The serious handicap is the labor
situation. Enlistment of large bodies
of men will seriously affect the labor
market. If North Dakota can get
men, It will increase it's yield Of food
stuffs, all things else being equal and
suspicious.
Those in control of the state Du-
reau of agriculture and labor have an
opportunity to help the nation 10y
concentrating all effort upon mobiliz-
Ing large numbers Of men when and
where they arc most needed. Com.
mercial clubs and banks should unite
to foster this movement for increas.
ed acreage.

No other nations ever had such a
chance. II we stand upright like
men and do the thing that is laid up
on us, we snail open up a new era IN
the history of this old world, make
it for the first time fit to live in and
shake from it the last old links that
fasten it up to darkness and feudal-

without wars!
Then let go, with everything we

AN OLD LANDMARK WILL
PASS WITH ERECTION Of
LOGAN BLOCK ON \. THIRD

One of the city's oldest business
landmarks will pass with the erec-
ton of the new Logan building on
Third, work on which probably will
commence about, the middle Of May.
The little frame structure occupied
by the Logan grocery was erected in
1878, when Bismarck was but six
years old, by the late M. P. Stat
terry. For 80 years this building has
been occupied by the Logans, father
and sons. Austin Logan, the first &C.
cupant, was so anxious to begin bust
ness that the structure was thrown
together in three days. One of the
few buildings in Bismarck Of more
ancient vintage is the Slattery struc-
ture on the corner adjoining the 10
gan place.
Roy Logan, the present owner,
plans to build a modern business
house with fifty feet frontage on
Third, two stOre-rooms below and a
number of Office suites in the second
story. The building will be of brick
and stone, fireproof, and In keeping

GET BUSY, CONSUMERS!

In war time, the consumer
ought to do all he can to help him
self, as a producer. The movement
for city back yard gardens is fine,
and the consumer can further heir
himself and his nation by prodd!ns
his municipal government until there
is no such thing as idle arabic city
real estate. All vacant lots should
be Pingreed, as Detroit's potato may
or would say. Potatoes, beans, corn
and onions can be grown on 90 per
cent Of the vacant lots in any city.
Feeding people in wal times is sure
ly as legitimate a work of municipal
management as arresting them or
Keeping them in terror Of law. and
the municipal government that won't
move in such work should see some
closely fireworks touched off by con
sumers.
