Building Blocks from clinkers.

A local enterprise in Brest, France,
suspended during the war, has recon
mended the production of building
blocks of sand, lime and cement with
a base of crushed coal clinkers. The
clinker building blocks are particularly
used in pavements, walls, floors of
cellars, warehouses, stables. garages
rough buildings and small dwellings
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-10-11

The blocks have the advantage over
brick for building material in that they
are cheaper and facilitate quick con
struction. They take plaster on the
interior and stuceo on the exterior
where it is desirable on buildings. I he
outstanding advantage OF the cliuker
block is its capacity to withstand the
great humidity of the climate of
France where brick walls drip water
on the interior of houses.--Commerce

Certain-teed viii protect your property
against fires due to sparks dropping on
the roof from passing engines. 1t also
helps to prevent fires spreading from

Where fires have started in other parts
of the building, Certain-teed Roofs tend
to smother them and thereby prevent
serious damage to other property.
This type of protection is appreciated by

Why2

Have you ever heard a rea-
son why any business man
should be against the farmers
program?
Have you ever heard a sin
gle I. v. A. speaker even at
tempt to give a reason. why
every merchant in North d.
kota should not be heartily in
favor of the industrial pro-
gram in this state?
Have you ever read in any
I. V. A. paper any reason why
the laws enacted by the
League farmers would not
prove of immense benefit to
every resident Of the state?
No, you have not, and never
will, because there are none.
The people who fight the farm
ers always go off on a side
track. They say the program
is alright, the farmers are al
right, but-but-but the thing
that is wrong is something
hazy-something out of sight.
Yes, it is out Of sight-it's

cago - the grain gamblers,

state If they continue to fight the farmers. Here is
what A. c. Townley has said and will continue to say
in his addresses before election in substance:
why do you merchants fight the farmers? You
drink their milk and suck their eggs, so why do you
fight them? You are free to vote as you please. If you
wish to vote against the farmers you can of course
do so-you. have that right. So also has the farmer
the right to spend his money with whom he pleases.
IF you merchants continue to fight the farmers, and
if you should. succeed in defeating the farmers can
didates November End, then, just as you have the
right to vote as you please, so has the farmer a right
to spend his money as he pleases and the farmers will
be organized, organized as they were never organized
before, and they will spend their money with their
friends, no matter how many towns they have to pass
thru to find friendly merchant"
3: it is criminal for the farmers to spend their
WNMONEY with their OWN FRIENDS, when did
itbecome SO? And by warping this statement into the
lying statement that Townley said he would drive all
the merchants out of the state, then the I. ". A..

PKES assumes that the merchants are not the
friends of the farmers.
Just another of the Gang Press lies in the frantic
effort to stir up hatred. What Townley said is true.
The /. v. A. Press and President Mann of the Retail
Merchants Association both lie.
And this will not be the end. The l. v. AS between
now and election day will continue to lie-lie vicious
ly. You could not believe them on oath. They have
no regard for the truth. They are out to win. They
have thrown slime at the people of the whole state,
and now, because their bosses chose to rob the farm
ers right and left on wheat prices, making both farm
ers and business men face bankruptcy, these mental
1epers and moral degenerates will continue to falsify
wickedly in sheer desperation to bolster up a rotten
cause.
They cannot win by telling the truth-they are

ATTENTION FORD OWNERS.

The durability and dependability of
the Ford car is the most wonderful
achievement in automobile engineer
ing.
Theodore Roosevelt said that' Henry
Fora was the "Nlan who made II
cheap car good and good car cheap"
He makes it cheap because of his
wonderful organization and produc,
ton; he makes it good because Of
the use of Vanadium steel and the
application of the correct principals
of mechanics.
Every time you place or allow to
be put your car any but genuine
Ford parts made by the Ford Motor
Company you are destroying the
efficiency and durability of your car
and placing your life in jeopardy.
If your mechanic hasn't genuine
parts see that he gets them.

ATTENTION VETERANS.

The annual meeting of Browne
Harman Camp, United Confederate
Veterans, will be held ut Tazewell,
Va, June 3, (Thursday). 1920, (undcr
the program of the United Daught-
ers of the Confcderacy.)
The election of officers, payment
of dues and other matters of impor-
tance are to be considered. Owing TO
the depletion of our ranks by death,
the increase cost of stationery, print
ing and other incidental expenses, it
is important that dues of members
of the Camp should be paid, if we
desire to preserve the organization
and hold our position in the Grand
Camp.
has passed since the Confederate
war, your character, honor and 10y
atty as confederate soldier, has
been seriously questioned by Presi-
dent Wilson-who has just awakened
from lcthargic dream, and found
you repcnting and ashamed of having
fought against the union of States
in 1861. A man who from every COM
sideratino should have been your
friend and defender. Instead Of at
tempting, in his memorial address in
France, over the dead allies and the
American boys, to discredit you and
the South.
I deem it an imperative duty of
every true confederate veteran, to
defend his character and that of his
fallen comrades, even if duty compels
him to cross swords with the man or
men, who have the temerity to mis-
represent you and hold you up in n
false light to future generations.
Which I shall attempt to defend at
our convention in an unimpassioncd
way-as the seriousness of the mat
ter will admit. The camp will meet
promptly at 10 a. m.
Sincerely your Comrade.
