Few people. we believe, appreciate
what they owe TO the home merchant.
# they did. the hundreds Of dollars
which 90 out OF this community TO the
big mail order houses would remain
here and help build up the town.
Let US consider a few facts. When
you are up against it. it is the home
merchant who carries your account
until you are able TO pay; when YOU
need money for the churches hosp, n-s
or charity. it is the home merchant WHO
helps you out. The h,rne merchant
pays heavy taxes to support the schools
and keep up the streets aud roads a-5
other public institutions. Tie is your
friends in time OF need and the money
you spend with him stays right hers in
town and helps to make i. prosper
The next time you are tempted by
the fine pictures il the mail order
eatalogs remember that you can buy
better right here at home
You need not ask yourself wheth-r
the mail order houses would give YOU
credit when you have sickness in tisc
house or are out OF work. You know
they would not You need not ask
yourself whether the mail order houses
are doing anything for your town You
know that every dollar they take out
of town is preventing it from going
ahead just that much
Every time you send money out OF
town for goods you aae directly in
juring yourself. Buy from your home

President Harrison Of the Southern
Railway System has issued q statement
calling attention to the fact that one
Of the ways IN which d very substantial
saving OF our meat resources may be
made is through reducing the number
Of animals killed On the railroad tracks
On the railroads Of the United States
many thousands Of cattle and hogs are
killed every year. and. as those killed
in this way are nat used for food. this
loss results IN correspoudingiy large
decrease in our available meat supply.
The responsibility for this loss rests
primarily On the owner Of the animals
who allow them 10 stray on the rail-
road right Of way says Nj Harrison
When they are killed the law places
the responsibility on the railroad and
the owner suffers 10 direct pecuniary
loss. There is. however. in addition
to the serious reduction in the meat
supply OF the country, q further econ
onaic loss through the payment by the
railroad OF money, which is urgently
needed at this time for increasing the
transportation facilities OF the country.
the lack Of which for the movement oc
his products TO maket may cause q loss
to the farmer greater than the amount
he received for the animal killed on the
railroad. The extent OF this loss nay
be indicated by the fact that the South
ern Railway System alone paid out in
u months ended June 50. 1917,
more than $500 GOO for animals killed
on the right OF way. This sum, even
at the present high prices OF equip
ment would be sufficient 10 buy more
than 100 standard box cars that would
handle al a single load more than 3.oo9
tons OF rfeight. and the constant use
OF these many additional cars would
tend 10 the relief OF the present var
time congestnon OF traffic. Is It not the
patriotic duty Of every farmer 70 keep
his live stock away from the railroad
tracks2

-Four Main Arteries OF Air
Navigation Mapped Out
By Aero Club Of America

New York. Nov. 12.-Plans for
establishing four transcontinentaI
airways as the main arteries Of air
navigation in the United States, have
been approved by the executive
committee of the Aero Club of Amer
lea. 1t was announced by the club
here last night. The clubs commit
tee on landing places, of which
cad Admiral Robert e. Peary is
chairman, has been instructed to
make all possible speed in charting
the routes and selecting landing
places.
Under the clubs plan, the anyways
will be named Woodrow Wilson,"
the Wright Brothers." the Lang
ley" and the "Chanute and Bell"
~ The first will be charted from New
York to San Francisco, touching
Cleveland, Chicago and other i'm
portant cities. The second would
start from Washington, running
through Virginia. North Carolina, the
state in which the Wright brothers
made their historic first Sight, down
~ Texas, with station at San An

for the first time in history under

conditions approximating warfare;
then through New Mexico and Arr
IONA to San Diego, Cal.
The Langley airway, although
definite plans have not yet been
made, would run from washington to
Los Angeles.
The Chanute and Bell air way,
named in honor of Octave Chanute
and Alexander. Graham Bell, would
run from Boston to Seattle. touching
Albany, Buffalo, Detroit, Minneapo-
lis, Bismarck, N. D., Great Falls,
Mont. and other cities.
North and south Always, under
the clubs plans will be charted from
Bangor, Me-, to Key West, Fla, and
from Puget Sound to San Diego,
Cal, while an airway to be called
the gulf will be extended from
Key West to the mouth of the Ric
Grande, touching every important
city on the Gulf of Mexico.
These main airways in time would
be crossed by hundreds Of smaller
charted routes, so that the country,
as air navigation develops will be-
come a vast network of routes laid
out with as much precision and care

as the thousands OF charted sea
routes. krt
The early putting of this nlan into
effect" the clubs announcement
said, would give practice in iying
to thousands of men upon whom the
army and navy could draw as fast as
they need them"

COAL RECEIPTS

Three cars of anthracite were re-

shipment to reach Fargo in four
days.
Five cars of bituminous and two
cars Of Ignite were also reported by
the Northern Pacific agent.
There is very little hard coal in
Fargo" said Administrator Blake
more. THE shipments received over
the Northern Pacific Saturday are
the first hard coal receipts in
four days. Soft coal shipments seem
to be arriving regularly. The soft
coal situation has been greatly cas-

MAKING NAVY BIGGER.

The draft and the building up of the
merchant marine so as to insure sup
plies for our Allies and for our troops
fighting in France are the two out
standing features of Uncle Sans war
activity just now. We know that
Somewhere off the English coast"
our destroyers are hunting U-boats,
but that is about all we hear of the
navy. 1t will come as a surprise to
most people to learn that Uncle Sam
is as busy as he can be in his various
navy yards, not alone building and
repairing ships, but creating facili-
ties for. building almost whole new
fleet. The Official Bulletin from
Washington tells US that shipbuilding
facilities in the United States navy
yards are being expanded SO that
eventually 16 war vessels may be on
the ways at one time, while fully 80
may be in course Of construction.
This does not include submarines or
submarine chasers. With the ship
ways now being built or projected,
the United States navy will be able
to have in course of construction on
in addition to submarines and chas-
CA0. AAcIS are llOW uHuEr COuSITuC-
ton In government yards three bat
tleships. four destroyers and many
other VESSELS.
In connection with the above. it is
interesting to speculate on the pres
emit size of the British and German
naviess 1t is said by some people
who claim to have good sources OF
knowledge that the navies, of both of
these countries have doubled in size
since the outbreak of the war. In
addition to this, some entirely new
types of ships have been evolved,
notably the great mystery ships Of the
British navy, of which nothing more
is known except that they have been
named the Hush No. 1" and the
Hush No. ~
