IA|RM'H TRUCKS {; 10
HELP MAKE GOOD
DAKOTA R DIS
Eighty-Six Fine Vehicles As.
signed to This State by U. S.
War Department

Eighty-six new trucks, q of three
tons capacity and the remainder OF
two tons, have been assigned by the
war department for highway work in
North Dakota upon application of the
state Highway commission. Chief En-
gineer w. H. Robinson some time ago
received notice from the War depart
ment that probably 10000 trucks, new
and used, would be made available for
highway work through the termination
Of the war, for which they had been
contracted. North Dakota's share Of
this whole number would be about
800 The trucks already assigned
are fresh from the factory and in per-
feet condition. They will be used prin-
Scipally in the maintenance of state
and federal roads, in hauling gravel
and and other materials.
Through the same source the high
way department is entitled to such
engineering and office equipment as
it may be able to use and also to a
couple of steam shOvels. So far, how
ever, the war department has but one
steam shovel available, and North
Dakota may not be so fortunate as to
land this prize In addition the gov
ernment has number of Is and 20
ton Holt tractors of the caterpillar
type some of which the highway de-
partment could use to good effect in
highway construction and mainte.

Attention, June
Brides and Grooms!

Furniture, being one of the very first
investments of every young couple,
should be chosen with care or o
choice will be ''%repented at leisure"
The first thing to consider about the
furniture for your new home is that you
are going to live with 1t for a long
time, Also because of the amount Of
the investment required your selection
should be made with care.
There is too much involved In fur
nishing a home for one not to use the
utmost care in choosing not only the
furniture itself, but the dealer from
whom you buy. Why not make your
choice at this store? You want quality,
you want value and often liberal terms
Of payment spread over a great many
months, and that's exactly what we
have to offer. Come, look through our
stock. You will not be urged to buy.

 FOR STEALING FORD.

FLAGSTAFF, Oct. 25.-Two auto thieves were brought to the county jail here on Wednesday, after being bound over to the superior court by Justice of the Peace Button, of Williams, who fixed bail at $500 each.
 One man said his name was John Martin, though he signed "O'Brien" to a postcard. The other was Har- old Mix, recently discharged from the Canadian army.
 The men stole Joe Cottellendy's Ford. Joe is a Santa Fe section foreman and lives at Supai. The Ford was used by his children at tending school at Williams.

He says he saw one of them here a few days ago. The men offered to pay rent on the car and all damages, if released.
