“MONDAY, AUGUST. 11, 1919 TOO MUCH JUICE; LITTLE CURRENT NEWS OVER WIRE Aurora Borealis Takes Hand in Things and Jams Telephone e Service Generally Due to an excessively strong ground current between Fargo and St. Paul, the Associated Press was unable to obtain any news over its wires for the early afternoon papers of North Da- kota today. It is said this is an exceedingly un- usual condition and that never before, particularly in the summer time, has} the current been so strong, as to in- terfere so completely with commercial wires. In Bismarck there was evidence of this strange phenomena this morning, according to officials of the telephone company here. At 9 o’clock this morn- ing, a test was made and it was found that a rather strong current was in evidence. The Western Union reported today that its wires to Minneapolis and-St. Paul and other eastern cities were badly interfered with by this strong ground current, altho service within the state was not very greatly inter- rupted. Sqo Wires Hampered The Soo railroad here reported that not have any troyble with the wires, but that from that time on it was im- possible to keep up communication with eastern points, From noon on the trouble lessened and current con- ditions on its wires are now reported to be satisfactory. It is believed that the aurora borea- lis has something to do with the ground current which interfered with electrical wires, it is said. Due to this condition existing this morning, no_ news has been received here of complication to train schedules due to the wire tieup, or any similar troubles, ‘BARBERS. STRIKE TODAY FOR.

In this. way. it is hoped that public:‘sentiment will be crystallized to aid in obtaining ‘better roads for the county. ae: : It has been pointed out in these columns on ‘various occasions ‘that the roads ‘of this county are in exceeding- 4y poor condition.” Many prominent business and professional men of the city have commented on this’ pitiful state of ‘affairs through The Tribune, There are a great’ many others, it's sa‘d, who fee] just as incensed as those quoted by the manner in which county highways have been neglected in the majority of cases inspite of the fact that $40,000 was appropriat- ed and expended iby the county for the year ending July 31, 1919. ‘One of the first steps the new or- ganization will take, it is said, will be to submit to county officials a plan whereby the $69,000 asked by the county for roads for the present year, can ‘best tbe expended to the great- est benefit of all concerned. Another matter which will be agitated by the club, it is said, isthe penalty the farmer has to pay by betng forced to haul his products to and from his farm over poor roads.

Washington Bureau. Are you planning to build your own home? If so, don’t pay an architect a lot of money for making a set of of expens- ive plans. LET UNCLE SAM PLAN YOUR HOUSE! He'll do it through the U. S.

Through the aid of the U. S. Hous- ing corporation and The Newspaper Enterprise Association, the Daily Tribune has obtained a set of plans for dwellings ranging from four rooms to six rooms in size. These will be Printed from day to day in the Daily Tribune. If you like one of these houses clip out the picture and send it to the U. . Housing Corporation, Washington, D.

These plans were all made for ‘houses which have (been built by the government in various industrial cen- ters to house war workers who rallied by the tens of thousands to the cities.
