the state issued here today.

BY p. w. Clemens
Providing bread for one-fourth of
the population of the United States,
North Dakota farmers also furnish
many other base articles of food for
q large proportion Of the American
population, according to calculations
made from federal per capital con-
sumption figures and from esti-
mates Of the states agricultural
production issued Saturday by the
Greater North Dakota association.
While North Dakota has long
been noted as a center of hard
spring wheat production, which is
used for milling the highest quality
of flour, few who are not thorough
ly familiar with the agriculture Of
the state realize the tremendous
number of people who depend for
food upon meat, potatoes and but
terfat from the state.
Of the various food items, the
product Of North Dakota farms, ac-

Foundation Should
Not Be Overlooked
] When Building Home
(By THE BUILDING EDTTOR)

(By THE BUILDING EDITOR)
Although it doesn't draw y great
deal of attention, the foundation Of
= home is just as important rs the
foundation Of any other building.
If it is weak, or so constructed that
It crumbles or says after the house
Is built, world Of troubles is the
result. The walls crack, If it is a
stucco house, the floors sag, the
house gets out Of lire, and consider
able expense aud trouble is involved
in repairing the damage which could
easily have been avoided in the first
place.
A number Of items are involved
In constructing the foundation which
any careful and well informed con-
tractor can take care Of.
One of the first safeguards
against q faulty foundation is the
construction of footings. These are
just what the word implies, base
unon which the foundation rests.
They are made by widening the
foundation at the base so that it
rests solidly upon the base. In the
case Of the demonstration house
the walls are eight inches thick and
rest upon footings 16 inches wide.
In other words, the foundation wall
rests upon concrete plate which
extends four inches on either side
Of the foundation wall proper.
Another item, which often is over
looked but which is important, il re-
inforcing for both the footings and
the foundation wall. The strength
which strong netting Of steel wire
adds to the concrete is an important
factor in preventing foundation
troubles, and the cost is slight. In
many cases it is not put in and it's
absence is not noticed until the foun-
dation Says.

auditorium.
A feature Of the concert will be the
appearance on the stage of the Bis
marck Juvenile band during inter-
mission when Lt.-Commander Sousa
will lead this group through . series
of numbers. The members of the
Juvenile Band will be given seats in
the wings where they will watch the
Sousa performance.
Sousa's band has already entered
the Northwest on the golden jubilee
tour, and wherever this eminent mu-
stefan has been heard both press
notices and music critics have been
loud in their praise Of his concerts.

mier showing of Cecil B. De Miles
"King of Kings" at the Capitol

ties and costumes exceeding in elab-
orateness even "Ben-Hur"; and
above all vision that truly realizes
the infinite tenderness, humanity
and uplift Of the New Testament
story.
Local theatregoers are looking for
ward with great interest to H. B.
