With the moving of the state High
way Commission to its new quarters
in the Capitol, the department. IS
now prepared to render in addition
to it's work Of highway construction

free provision of official road maps,
official road condition services, and
the answers to queries concerning
the state highway laws and general
information relative to highways in
the state.
Previous to the present time the
Commission has been forced, by It's
small floor space, to limit itself to
the necessary construction and main
tenance work.
The service bureau, while it is ex-
pectcd to be great help to motor
lists throughout the state, will also
serve to bring the residents Of the
state into closer contact with the
work Of the state Highway Commls-
sion through the issuing of regular
bulletins, which will be republished
by newspapers. telling Of the various
ACCOMPLISHMENTS of the department.
1t is to be expected that the ma
jority of motorists in the state will
take advantage Of the Commissions
new service to have their questions
about highways; their buildings,
maintenance, and use, answered.
Free gravel tests for farmers who
have gravel pits on their land will
also be made by the department If
sample of the gravel is sent to the
Commissions office in Bismarck ac-
companied by letter locating the
pit and giving the owners name.

THE WEAPON

There is one thing that the Union
man has in his hands to fight with,
that is if used in the right way, a
weapon so great in its power that it
Will make of the union the most eff
tectlve body in existence, if it is used
as 1t ought to be. A weapon that is
more effective than the strike or the
lockout.
A weapon that is silent and so
easily handled that the most timid of
our womanhood can use it as well,
and as effectively as the most valient
of our men.
A weapon SO deadly that even in
the hands of child, it is sure to be
effective and at all times hits it's
mark no matter how far away the
target may be. The one sad thing
about it is, that the men who claim
to be the very embodiment of union
ism, have laid it upon the shelf or
have forgotten that it exists, or if
they know of it at all they have failed
to make use of it, and they, in their
ignorance have passed it by for some
other weapon that they think better,
but there has never been and I feel
ouIC IIdI VIC VIII never D6 dDl6 TO get
or make one that has the power that
lies in this weapon that is so small,
that at times it is overlooked in our
haste to arm ourselves for the fight
that is always present in our every
day life, as citizens and union men.
Strange as it may seem, it is a more
deadly weapon in the hands of the
women than in the hands of the men,
and if used it will be used by the
women every day in the year, as they
are the ones who will, if once shown
that it is the one sure weapon that
will help their children to enjoy more
of the good things of this life. His
tory has shown that some of our
greatest fighters have been women
and we all know that there is moth
ing so deadly or so relentless in it's
dealings as the female of the species.
Show mother that she can add to
the comfort of her children, that she
can make conditions better for the
