VACANT Lors.-AND sPUDs.

A couple of weeks ago notice was Civ.
en- by the Rev. Father Van Nicer that
anyone wanting to plant potatoes on the
grounds about the Catholic church in
this city could get the use Of the land
free. During the same week this Office
received letter from Auditor Felson in
which he also advocated the use Of the
many vacant lots in the different cities
and villages of the county for similar
purposes.
1t goes without argument how much
better it would be for all concerned ii
all vacant lots instead of being allowed
to grow up to nnsightly. and sometimes
unhealthy, weeds, that these eyesores
should be put into cultivation. It is
also evident that the economic value is
we'll worth the effort. When potatoes
arrive to the hitherto unheard of prices
that now prevail, people begin to think
about home garden that never thought
of such thing before.
The actual manual labor to cultivate
one or two town lots IN potatoes alone,
Is very little. This writer last season
raised all the summer potatoes needed
in large family after the middle of
July and in the fall put away twenty
seven bushels in the cellar for winter
use. This yield was from space about
as large as two city lots and was not a
large yield per acre.
OF course small vegetables take lit
tie more work in proportion. But while
the work on the potato patch was done
at odd spells measured by minutes or
hours, we would estimate that all ii 9
labor would not aggregate more than a
week of steady work in ten hour days.
The only horse power used was in plow-
ing and narrowing and about two hours
with one horse cultivator. Thus at
present market prices the above labor
produced probably about seventy five
dollars worth of spuds, not to say any
thing of some very valuable health COM
pensation.
Now, if this talk makes you think you
would like to cultivate vacant lot near
your own home, just go and pick out the
lot, il you know the owner ask his per.
mission and you are sure to get it; or if
you do not know the owner just send a
postal card with the description mum
Der of lot and block to W. w. Felson.
County Auditor, Cavalier, N. D, and he
will probably be able to give you the
name and address of the owner-and he
will be pleased to do it for he said so in
the letter that he wrote US.

SOME WAR-ORDER FACTS.

Here is an instance of what war orders
have done for the United States: Dur.
ing the 15 years period, 1900.14, inclu-
sive. our total exports to Russia (Euro.
pean and Asiatic) fell short of 100000
|OOO.s During the two calendar years of
the war, 1915 and 1916, our total ex-
ports to Russia were s838 808, 10000.
These are our own figures. The
Russian figures of imports from the
United States are greater than ours due
to,the fact that some goods leaving here

to the country..ove which they pass in
transit to Russia. But even our Figures
are "vocal'.

Brunswick And 1916.

The year 1916 was indeed a good
one for Brunswick Despite at its
threshold practically the entire civil
i2ed world was engaged in death
struggle in the bitterest conflict in
history entailing loss of the better
part of her foreign commerce Bruins
wick has moved with steady step for
ward and onward in her march to-
ward commercial supremacy as one
Of the South's great seaports.
When the new year was ushered i'll
the familiar and pleasing blast of the
IYaryan whistle announced to the peo-
PIE OF Brunswick who had patiently
watched the developments growing
eut of it's legal difficulties that again
employment would be given TO a host
Of men whose money would find its
way into every artery of tradt and
commerce OF this city. And the Var
yam plant has done well notwith-
standing the fact that at times its
/ path may have not been altogether
an easy one.

THE LAUNCHING OF THE
GLYNN.

The dream Of vast percentage Of
the people of this city will be real
lied today. when the good schoone
Glynn embraces the placid waters o.
Oglethorpe Bay. For many years
there has been a profound and well
founded belief in the hearts Of many
Brunswfckians that this port ought
to be a great shipbiulding city. Her
manifold advantages; her nearness
to the raw material, her matchless
harbor with its splendid facilities for
building ships, have combined to CON
vince her own people that the day
would dawn, when Brunswick would
take her place beside Bath, Maine,
and Quincy, Mass. in the matter Of
building ships
In the past many spasmodic at
terhpts have been made at building
vessels of various kinds in Brunswick
and some progress had been made
along that line, but they have been
cases where individual effort alone
has been made and until recently no
organized movement was attempted.
!rhe building Of the Glynn by Bruins
wick people, with Brunswick capital
is due solely to the indefafTgable
energy Of Capt. j. II. Leo, that spen-
did Brunswickian. who for years has
nursed the desire to demonstrate
that the industry can and will sue
coed here. He organized the com
pany and himself ship builder, has
superintendent the work of construct
ing the vessel Once the work was
well under way, the enterprise at
tracted the attention of outside capt.
tai and within short time. a new
and mammoth plant was located here
only to be followed shortly by an
other. while the fourth industry of
the kind Is now knocking at the gate!
Thus It develops that the efforts OF
Capt. Leo and his associates have |
blazed the way for making Brunswick !
the largest shipbullding port on the
South Atlantic coast. The launching
of the Glynn today marks an epoch in |
the industrial life of this splendid |
little city; It means that We are to be
come indeed the site of great and |
growing industry and it promises to |
revolutionize the entire business and |
industrial conditions of this city.
The demand for tonnage was never
greater than 1t Is at the moment, |
thousands of ships of all kinds ald !
have been sent to the bot
tom by the belligerents of Europe |
and there Is a need for new ones to
care for the growing commerce of the
nation. SO the graceful act of the
Glynn this morning, let us hope. will
only be the beginning of really grea
for Brunswick and Georgia.
In the meantime, our hat is off 20

one of the finest institutions in the
city has done splendid work makine
large additions to its already large

, Co., and the Brunswick Creosoting
Co, have added materially to the
| cities large payroll. The Mallory
Steamship Co., is expected shortly to
put on a passenger service between
this port and New York. thus re-
establishing a passenger line which
in the past has meant so much to
Brunswick's travelling population.
Then Brunswick's banks have not
failed to keep pace with the rapid
progress of the community and It's
banking needs, each institution show
ing by its statement large increases
in deposits and volume of business
handled, the combined deposits of
the three banking institutions ag-
gregating approximately $4,000. 900.
Neither has the volume OF export and
import business suffered materially
during the year and while the exact
figures are not yet available it is
safe TO predict that they viii com
pare favorahly with those of any sea-
port OF like size on the Atlantic
coast.
The merchants report the best bus
mess ever done in the history of the
city and there Is every reason to
expect gradual and healthy in
crease.
From a standpoint of health and
morals we have much to be thankful
for. At no time during the year have
We been subjected To any OF the ills
from which other less favored COM
munities have suffered. The moral
atmosphere is perhaps as good as any
in the country.
