Is Going to Build.

There are two kinds Of people who

Ing houses: Those who have built one
house and live in it, and those who are
living in some ones else house. "A
pretty comprehensive statement, but
really, who isn't interested in the mat
ter of building a home? ~
- Jones has a house Of his own, and
he is concerned with the thing he pos.
sesses, says an exchange. Smith, who
owns no house, is concerned with some.
thing he lacks. Jones is homesick only
when he is away from home. Smith
can never be homesick in any place 9th
err than his home. Jones is an owner,
a master, a 1iege lord Of lands and all
that is therein. Smith is a tenant, a
payer of rent, a slave'o tribute. Jones
dwells on the right side of the door.
Smith is %eternally wishing that he did.
It is never too soon to begin planning
that house which some day you are 60
Ing to want to build. 1t is never too
soon, but sometimes too late, to save
the money for a start toward it. The
start is all that is necessary.

"Tag-Y Your Shovel Day"

Yesterday, January 3Oth, was
"Tag. Your Shovel Day." when tags
were tied to all shovels throughout
the United States, urging the saving
of a shovel full of coal a day. We
don't imagine anyone in Cavalier
County is wasting coal, but at the
same time it is a step, and save as
much as WI al The country as a
whole is fifty millions of ton short,
and we must have coal to keep our
houses warm. Save a shovel full a
day. If every householder will use
one kitchen shovel full of coal less
each day, the total saving for the
nation will be Is, 600, 600 tons per
year. If every householder will use
one furnace shovelfull less each day
Is, 600, 600 tons will be saved.
Coal saving is one Of the most urgent
duties during these war.-times.
It is vital to every other war work.
The time to begin saving is to-day.
The. most coal is being used now, by
the railroads are more congested now,
the factories most in need of fuel.
Every ton of coal saved now will help
more than it ever did or ever can
again to help win the a

Langdon's Coal Famine Relieved

Fuel Administrator Thos. Devany
got busy during the week and as a re-
suit a couple of carloads of hard coal
were rushed through to Langdon to re-
lieve the increasing scarcity of hard
coal, which was beginning to assume
the proportions of a coal famine.
The handling of the fuel problem
through executive sources has been
the only thing that has averted the
west from suffering and hardship
during the long cold winter. Lang
don has at times felt the shortage to
an extent, but with a national and
state administrator at the head, and
with a district and local administrator
regulating the supply and demand the
country as a whole appears to be COM
ing through most satisfactorily out of
a situation which at the outset of the
winter appeared to be of most grave
Importance.

TREE PLANTING NEEDS CARE
Appearance of Grounds as Important
as House Plans, interior Decor
atoms or Furniture.

While house plans, interior decora.
lions and furniture play a prominent
part in the life Of the new home build
er, care of the grounds about the house
should likewise be given consideration,
particularly as regards the planting of
trees to trim up the general appear
ance of the house.
In tree planting great care, foresight
and judgment r required, says q
landscape artist. The selection of
young trees, their proper setting apart
and their car after planting make
beautiful grounds possible. In shade
tree planting as in the construction of
a building, the plan for the completed
work should be determined in advance.
for the tree planter must picture to
himself how his work will look a great
number of years later and with him it
rests whether the result is to be one
Of satisfaction or regret.
In making selections one must bear
In mind that the tree must possess GER
tain characteristics to be desirable. In
the first place it must be hardy, capa-
BILE of withstanding unfavorable condi.

drought, smoke, gas, heat and dust, cas-
lily transplanted and propagated. 1t

and be symmetrical in growth. They
must to a great degree be immune from
Insect pests, retain their foliage in
good condition through the summer un-
til late fall and be clean in their hab-

must also be Of medium growth and

oping good-sized shade trees as soon as
possible after planting is admitted, and
it is unfortunate that the trees grow
