Conserving Interest

There are now many people in
this country who have purchased
Liberty bonds and a movement is
on foot all over the nation to induce
bond holders of every kind to invest
their bond interest coupons in war
savings stamps and in this way
make the interest earn interest. No
better way of increasing interest
rates could be devised, aud already
the suggestion has been acted upon
by holders of the first Liberty bonds
and doubtless thousands of the SUBJ
Scribers to the second and third
loans will follow suit. Why not2
BY so doing the investor not only
helps himself, but helps his govern,
ment. The amount of bond interest
to each individual is small, but the
aggregate for the country is enor-
nous, and if the idea is generally
carried out a tremendous help will
be given the government at little OF
no inconvience to the investor, while
the latter will profit almost two fold
by the transaction.

About Names.

The State furnished John Dry
and Frank Dryer to the Navy Re-
cruiting Station at St. Louis on the
same day recently, and it appeared
that the prohibitiOnists were going
to have perfect score, but at the
last minute, St Louis city, fighting
against odds, furnished a recruit
named August Biermann.
Names at the Recruiting Station
get into some queer jumbles. Not
long ago Arthur Warmann's appli-
cation was followed by one signed
by John Gum, This was not so
unusual but when the next two
men were named Guy Flood and
William Shore, and when Shore
blocked Flood from getting applica-
ton in first, the recruiting officers
decided that perhaps there was
something in names after all. All
four of the men passed the exami
nation and were enrolled.
Jewel Fly, of Aurora. Mo-, was
enlisted as a second class seaman.
Why don't you try for the air
service" one of the officers asked
Fly.

I've never flown anything but
kites and I've never sailed anything
but toy boats, but in case of acct

Road Dragging.

Ninety-two per cent of all the
public roads in Missouri are dirt
roads. When properly graded these
roads can best be maintained by
using road drags. Here are some,
simple rules for the proper dragging
of earth roads:
Drag At The Right Time. The
right time to drag a road is as soon
as possible after every rain. when
tn soil is mellow and pulverizes
r eadily. Do not drag when the soil
sticks to the drag or do not wait
u Dtil the soil is too dry before you
drag.
Drag Early In The Spring as soon
as the frost is out of the ground.
Dragging a muddy stretch of road
will aid in drying it out. since the
wind and sun will have freer access
to the thin layer of saturated soil
which the drag spreads out over
the surface of the road.
Drag Before 1t Freezes A road
dragged before it freezes in the
fall, will freeze smooth and usually
re main in this condition for some
time. The general condition of the
road in the spring after winter
dragging will be remarkably good.
Drag A Gravel Road When Wet.
A gravel road should be dragged. as
a rule, soon after a rain when the
soil is wet but not too saturated. 1t
will be found that the gravel can
be worked better whenin a wet
condition.
Drag Between Shoulders. When
a road is badly cut up over the en-.
tire surface, two complete round
trips should he made with the drag.
The first trip should be made along
the edge of the shoulder. The sec.
ond trip should be made inside and
slightly overlapping the first. This
will take up any excess material
left by the first round and will aid
in building up The crown.
Ride The Drag. Under ordinary
conditions the driver should ride
his drag. He will soon be able to
adju t his position so as to produce
the desired effect, By standing on
the forward edge, the drag may be
made to cut deeper and vice versa
A long hitch causes a downward
pull and thus increases the depth Of
the cut while short hitch tends to
lift up on the front blade and de.
crease the depth of the cut.
Garry Pick and Shovel. The
driver should always carry a pick
and shovel on his drag, He will
find these very useful in opening
water courses. filling mud holes and
chuck holes, repairing washed places
and digging up rocks.
Drag Often Do not try to build
a road with the drag. Its use is to
m aintain the surface of the road
which is already constructed in a
smooth condition The best results
are obtained by repeated drag.
ging
Use Of A Light Drag. One mis-.
take made in building drag is to
use timbers in the construction of
the blades which have too wide a
face A drag in this fashion will
pass over the irregularities in the
road instead of smoOthening them
out.
Successful Road Dragging Re-
qulres Experience. Dragging road
is business that is best learned in
the school of practical experience.
Every man engaged in dragging
must be become an enthusiastic
and observant student of the road
to be drap9ed if he desires to pro-

NO BAN ON. USE
OF COAL DURING
LAST THIRTY DAYS

Neither the United States fuel adj

miniStratOr for North Dakota ever is
sued any order that coal be not used
for domestic heating during October"
said Capt. l. P. Baker today, in refer
ring TO a letter said to have been sent
out, in the name Of the National Retail
Merchants association, asking con-
sumers to refrain from using coal in
furnaces or stoves until November l..
so far as North Dakota is concern
ed" continued Capt. Baker, such an
order would. of course, be altogether
out of the question. Fortunately, we
had very mild October-we have
asked consumers to economic in the
consumption Of coal in every way
possible and | believe VIZ have had
very general and quite effectual CO.
operation. 1t is never the policy Of
the fuel administration, however, to
urge any economies not compatible
with health and Reasonable comfort.
Unfortunate ly,Nthe recent epidemic of
Influenza has resulted in an increased
consumption on one hand and a de-
creased production on the other. Prac
tically every coal mining section Of
the state has been seriously hit by
the Spanish influenza, and several
hundred days labor has been lost.
In unite II this condition, however,
retail coal deliveries are being made
on a satisfactory basis, and l believe
l am safe in saying that North, Da-
kota has never approached a winter
iwth so much coal, bought and paid
for, stored away in its easements.
at is recognized that during the
coming winter every reasonable eff
fort must be made to conserve fuel
if the available supply is to meet the
needs. While the fuel administration
strongly urges conservation and be-
speaks the cooperation of the public,
it does not insist upon unreasonable
requirements or that its request for
conservation be complied with when
compliance would result in sickness
or injury to health Or actual physical
discomfort

PEACE PROBLEMS
WILL BE LEFT TO
NATION LEAGUE?

Paris, Dec. 28.-In conference
circles the opinion prevails that
several different questions which
will come before the allies during
the peace conference may be left
over for arbitration after an agree
ment has been reached as to a
league of nations
One of these questions may be
the future status of Luxembourg.
One party there desires the re
establishment of the grand .duchy.
Another favOrs the proclamation
of a republic A third advocates
annexation to France, while still
another prefers annexation to Bel
GUM. The same course may be
followed concerning differences be
tween the Italians and JugO-Slavs
as to a division of territory on the
eastern shore of the Adriatic.
A question which attracts atten-
tion is the future of Serbia ~here
there is a conflict of several Euro
pean influences Cardinal Bourne,
archbishop of Westminster, went to
Serbia recently. and before leaving
Rome had a long interview with
Pope Benedict An Anglican bish-
Op also has visited Serbia, it is re-
ported.
