RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION
WORK HIT HARD BY WAR
New Rockford Leans That All Build
inc and Construction Activities to
Be Deferred This Year.

New Rockford, N. D., Feb. 22.-In-
formation has reached here that the
Great Northern Railway company
will defer all building and construc-
ton activities unit the end Of the
war.
Company Officials say that it is al
most impossible to secure steel and
other construction material in any
thing like a. reasonable time. There
is also the question Of labor, and
most important of all inability to sell
securities and obtain money for this
construction, especially at a time
when construction costs are prohtb-
tive.
1t is said that while the nation is
at war it will tax the energies of the
railroad and all the large industries
to take care of the transportation
needs OF the country. The costs ut
this time woud be prohibitive both
for labor and material even though
the material were accessible, which
Of COURSE 1T is not.
Consid cradle construction work
was expected to be done in this Sec
tion of the state this spring and on
the great Northern branch lines. The
Great Northern has had under con-
for some time the compile
ton of its line west from New Rock
ford to a connection with the COM
pany's present line out Of Great
Falls.

MYSTERIOUS BUYERS.

ANY time Liberty Bonds sag a few
fractions of point, they run into
buying orders and rally.
Some persons Of big means are
consistently picking up Liberty
bonds on all declines.
There must be a constant selling
pressure from the millions who have
purchased the bonds. A very large
percentage Of the original buyers de-
sire TO get their money out for some
reason or other. Some are forced to
sell Some bought in a burst OF
patriotism and find their patriotism
isn't of the lasting kind. There is
a constant stream Of bonds flowing
into the market in small lots, and
they are being steadily absorbed.
Liberty bonds should not be view
ga az q speculation, although they
are bound to prove a good specula-
ton in the end. They should be
viewed as permanent investment.
Put them away and forget about
them. except twice each year when
YOU draw the interest.
If the bonds are a good investment
for these mysterious buyers, they are
b good investment for gous
