Orient Man Loses Lite
When Residence Burns

Orient Argus-Perhaps the saddest
incident In the history OF Orient oc-
Cured early last Friday morning
when Bert Doris was burned to death
in a fire which destroyed his bachelor
home in the Mrs. Hess home.
The fire was dicovered about n
o'clock by John Manion, who at once
gave the alarm, but when the citizens
arrived on the scene all chance of
rescuing the unfortunate man were
out of the question, had they known
he was in the building, which was not
verified until later.
Bert was taken home Thursday ev-
ening In a more or less helpless con-
dition. and left sitting in n chair, as
he refused to go to bed. How the fire
started will never be known, but II is
thought it was caused by the lamp be-
ing upset.
The was called and the re-
mains we're taken to Faulkton for
burial. Bert came here several years
ago from Kentucky, but authorities
have failed to get in touch with any
relatives as vet.

Proposed Road In Faux
Does Nd Satisfy Towns

Redfleld Press.-The federal aid
projects are in the condition left last
fall. Nothing has sc far been done on
them. The Highway Commission have
advertised for bids for the highway
west In Faux county, running from
Faulkton to the county line directly
west Of Athol. This move on the
part OF the Commission is peculiar
in that It will build a road coming
from nowhere and ending in the same
place. 1t completely ignores the
towns Of Orient, Rockham, Miranda,
Zell, and Isedfel.a rand practically
closes the door TO a federal road
through Chelsea. Cresbard, Norbeck,
Wecota, Carlyle. and other good towns
along the NJ. & st. l.. In the same
county.
There is considerable protest to this
designation of a federal aid road n
1t is understood that supporters or
the southern road will ask for a court
-eyiew Of the procedure.

THE EASTER OBJECTIVE

1t is difficult to believe that some
deny the resurrection, but sometimes
belief is forced upon one. But hat is
net to say that q great many do ac-
tually have no faith in it. People say
a great many things that are not car
dinal to their creed. They deny and
reverse themselves constantly. In
other words they are not consistent.
OF course that is only saying that
people are human. This need not dis
turb anyone, for people even deny
that there is such a thing as death.
There seems to be some disturbance
i'm that since there Is no such thing
as a resurrection without death. But
under the terms of our common un-
d~erstanding and observation death is a
pretty hard thing to successfully deny.
But to give the matter a little argu-
ment why deny resurrection TO man
alone. For anyone can see that all
sentient beings beneath mankind have
a resurrection in some form. Young
in his Night thought say
Shall man alone, for whom all else
reviyes,
No resurrection know? Shall mar
alone,
Imperial man! be sown In barren
ground,
Less privileged than grain, on which
he feeds?
Besides this we remember that per-
sons in the early history of the church
denied to Christ his resurrection just
by the way Of denying that he died or
the cross. But this year we especially
connect his coming to life with hii
death because the Jewish
passover comedies with Easter. AND
that very seldom occurs.
But to carry the matter on a little
further there has never arisen q greal
! religious leader that didsnot proclaim
another life as part OF his doctrine
Zoroaster did II in his teaching OF thu
conflict between light and darkness
Buddah did it in his doctrine Of Mir
yana.
The way OF mans resurrection II

him from all the rest of creation-his
moral nature-the solution of life is in
condemning his sin as something un-
natural. The way of salvation is the
natural thing and that way is in a
of his mortality in death only to re-
embody him in Immortality.
The only hope Of a resurrection IS
in q present living. Live now or net
at all. That should be the great in
spiration to living in Christ; living
the life OF faith in him. For the way
of faith is the Wa of resurrection.
The only way OF this salvation is In
the faith that is in Christ Jesus. For
faith is of God and Christ Is of God
Christ and faith are the two impor-
tant things that are given US In re
ligion.
You cannot jump right out of a Ifs
OF death i'm this existence into one o,
life in the next. The resurrection
must be lived and perfected little ,
little now and from right now on h.
and in eternity. The scripture sa
This is life eternal, to know thee tn

he hath sent. Resurrection Is in J.
ing unto God.

Motor Drivers Part in
Maintaining Good Roads

Drivers can do almost as much SCR
the maintenance of good roads as high.
way engineers. Did you ever notice
in going up a hill. particularly n
paved with ~asUhaltiC concrete. that
the surface on the right hand side OF
the road Is wavy and rough, while that
on the left-hand side is smooth? The
reason is this: The extra traction re-
Quired TO climb the hill wear and
tears the surface. while there Is little
or no traction down hill.
Another thing. the right-iland track
Of the rOad in either direction Is the
one which is worn most. This Is be-
cause the arched surface Of the road
throws the greater weight and strain
on the right-hand side OF the vehicle
and consequently the right hand side
of the roadway. Truck builders n
wagon makers have ever adjusted
their axles and springs so as 10 with
stand the greater strain on the right
hand side Of the vehicle.
Drivers can prevent wear to the sur
faces Of the roads and even improve
their condition, If. instead Of driving
In one track or on the edge Of the
road, they will drive Over the middle
and other less used parts of the road
when traffic permits. The one thing
that Is fatal above all things to road
surfaces. whether dirt or paved, IS
driving In tracks, which subjects n
small part of the road surface to all
the traffic and damage that the whole
road accommodates.
Traffic should he evenly distributed
over the entire surface OF the road,
and a little thoughtfuIness and care in
this respect on the part Of the drivers
will do much Ia add to the perma-
hence and excellence Of our roadwayS.

Many States Repairing
Concrete With Asphalt

Highway engineers in various parts
of the country are finding II advls-
able in a greater degree TO repair con
crete roads with asphaltic materials
This Is true particularly in Maryland.
New York, California, New Jersey.
Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, North
Carolina, oklahoma, Michigan, Ohio,
Kansas, Iowa, Colorado. Texas and
Canada.
Concrete roads are prone TO develop
longitudinal and transverse cracks.
Everywhere these cracks are heins
filed with asphalt. Maryland has
been resurfscing some Of its concrete
roads laid In 1913 and 1914 by means
Of asphalt. Among these is a two
mile stretch Of the Baltimore-Wash
ington boulevard near the Baltimore
city limits that was built in 1918 OF
cement concrete and re%surfaced with
asphalt In 1919. The road from BaIti-
more to Camp Meade, built in 1914
Of compressed concrete, was resur-
faced with asphalt also in 1919. In
Baltimore II has been found necessary
TO give some concrete q flush coat OF
bituminous material covered with
gravel.

In speaking of South Dakota's road
program, Mr.. Halvorson states that
while this state is 37th in population
and 18th in tax valuation, IL ranks
9th in federal aid roads. OF the 5000
miles of state trunk highways, 5000
miles are completed or under
construction, and the entire system
will be completed within five years,
at the present rate of progress. The
comming year will see the Black and
Yellow Trail finished to- the Missouri
river, and an intensive program for
the construction of the balance of the
trail through to the Black Hills is
now being pushed also"
Work on the trail between Pierre
and Blunt is also under way. AS far
as is known no contracts have been
let for the gravclling of the Trail be-
tween St. Lawrence and washington,
but the contract may be let before
spring. II is fully expected that by
the time the mex tourist season is in
full swing it will be possible to re-
main on gravel from Pierre to thu
east state line on Highway 80.
