....Mrs. C. G. Clements has departed

died of influenza. This is the third
death in her family in eight weeks.
. . . .The visions entertained by Da
kota county, Neb., officials of a rapid
ly swelling school fund through tho
confiscation of automobiles driven by
booze runners have fallen flat. 'Twas
naught but an idle dream brought
about through a misinterpretation of
of a decision of tho suureme court.
As the law had been understood, ma
chines driven by liquor transporters
could be seized, held for a certain
period and sold. The proceeds were
then to be turned over to the school
fund. With Sheriff George Cain
holding eight machines recently seiz
ed, varying in value from 500 to
$2,000, the school fund apparently
was due for a substantial increase.
The supreme court's decision, howev
er, it was learned last night, pro
vides that the machine can be con
fiscated and sold, but that after
court costs against tho owner of the
machine have been deducted tho bal
ance of the money must be turned
over to the original owner of the
car.

"War Savings Stamp
'V1CTOUY NOTTS"
Hut one week remains until tho
Liberty Loan or, properly speaking,
the Victory Note Drivo on April 22.
How much have you decided to in
vest in Victory Notes? Notice we
do not acll these bonds as previously,
for they are merely notes payable
by the government in from one to
five years.
Leaving our patriotic duty out of
consideration, first, we wish you to
see that, these Notes aro tho best
investment that can be made. The
interest upon the short-time note will
be -between 4 and 5 por cent.' Vory
few banks pay as high interest; the
duration of time is only five years
at the most; tho nation is your se
curity. By means of tho install
ment plan, the younger generation
may also buy notes, thus saving for
tho future what otherwise might
uselessly squandered. The older
generation need not fear (as with
previous longtcrm bonds issued) that
they will never have the use of tho
principal as the government option
permits tho payment of Victory
Notes in from ono to live yoars.
From a purely business standpoint
then, Victory Notes are a wise in
vestmen for anyone.
We are glad to 'say, however, that
true Americans do not look at tho
financial si do only, but sco in this
Drive, another opportunity to prove
.their intenso patriotism and worth.
Many argue, "Wo havo given so much
already." Let mo ask, what havo
we done in comparison with what
other countries havo done? Yet wo
nro enjoying tho same fruits of vic
tory. ,
What havo wo done in comparison
with tho enormous sacrifices of those
boys who offered thoir lives that we,
our homes, America and tlfo world
might bo safe? Havo we given so
much when we consider thoso khaki
clad boys who loft home, friends,
business; who went into tho bleak
unknown of No-Man's Land, in the
cold grey of dawn; thousands of
whom aro coining back home maimed,
crippled or helpless for life; fifty
thousand of whom paid tho supreme
sacrifice passed from life's promis
ing manhood into eternity tiiat wo
might bo safe. They gavo their
all. Aro we unwilling to loan, not
to give, .a small portion of the wealth
that this country has given us?
"But why aro billions moro need
ed?" You ask. Tho expenditures
have boon great, we admit, but no
greater than absolutely necessary to
bring the war to a speedy termina
tion. Consider, for example, tho
expense of raising and equipping an
army of 4,000,000; of transporting
2,075,831 soldiers to Europe withing
nineteen months; and of retaining
2,000,000 moro who wore soon to have
been sent across.
When tho war broko out wo had
but 250 vc.'isols avallablo for war pur
poses. Before tho signing of tho
armistice wo had 191)0 war vessels
launched. Bonds paid for those ves
sels. At tho snuio time wo hud
5,400,00(1 pounds of gas ready for shin
niont. Our aeroplane program cull
ed for 4000 planes at tho front by Juno
30, 1919, Germany realized that
this was 1000 moro than she could
possibly have. It cost millions for
cannon, machine guns, ammunition,
ambulances, etc., as well as Hoveral
million to "stock tho pen" with Ger
mans. And is not tho victory worth all
this? It has been estimated that
within six months. moro 100,000 moro
American boys would havo found
graves in Franco. What aro 100,000
American lives worth? Suppose that
included tho ones dourest to your
heart? No valuo can bo placed upon
human life. To end this war, thon,
and to save theso 100,000 Uvea was
worth any expenditure, however great.
The war ended because Germany
saw our strength, felt our power
manifested by our gigantic and rap
id preparation. The war ended be
cause. Germany feared America with
her wealth of resources, her enthusi
astic and untiring efforts at prepara
tion and most of all, her millions of
loyal citizens who so nobly supported
their nation in her four Lilierty
Loans. '
Even now that tho war is ended,
Amoricn's sons and daughters will
not falter. They,will finish tho task
begun; will pay tho debts incurred
by the war's speedy termination with
100,000 or more lives saved; will
bring back the boys to home and
happiness; will euro for tho unfortu
nate wounded; will provido for tho
widows and orphans of heroes slain;
will uphold tho prlncibles for which
America has always Btood.
America calls to each loyal son and
daughter today! You will not let
her call in vain. Let both men nnd
women respond to her .clarion call by
loyally ami wholo-heartedly buying
Victory Notes, April 22.
LET 1 MAKE OUll WORD GOOD
' ti i al test of patriotism is will
you . j on the jolt until it it finish
ed? i
When you make n promiso to keep
it. On April (i, 1917 we, THE UNI
TED STATES GOVERNMENT, prom
ised the Imperial German Govern
ment a good licking. So far as
fighting goes, wo have niado good,
but the job is not finished until tho
bills are pnid. Lot us complcto the
promiso of April G, 1917, by fully
subscribing our Victory Loan quota
on April 22, 1919.
In days goije by in most e very
community you could find tho citi
zen who, though able, was slow to
pay his honest dobts, and frequently
it was necessary to bring pressure
to boar before ho would do so. Tills
citizen was known as tho "Dead
Beat", now ho is termed tho "Slack
er." If wo fail to support our
Government by rofusing to subscribe
to tho Victory Loan promptly, all
civilized nations of tho world enn
truthfully say that tho citizens of
these UNITED STATES OF AMERI
CA aro slackers.
HAVE WE DONE OUR SHARE?
Between April G, 1917, and Novem
ber 11, 1918, moro than four million
OI Ollr hnVS lnlnnll llin rnlnva nml
I more than two million of them cross
cd the Atlantic to crush tho great
est military organization of all time.
I In tho great struggle, sixty-thrco
jmousanu oi our ooys mnuo tho su
premo sacrifice for .our protection
land happiness. Those boys, some of
Mium irom uaKoia io., gavo up their
lives and aro now taking their last
long sleep in tho blood stained bat
tlefields of Europe. No ono can
know how bravo those boys and young
men were nnd how determined to de
feat an enemy who was their en
emy becauso he was an cnomy of
frco people over hero. Can it bo
nOSSibln thorn Iirr nnu Anniplnnnn
who want to leavo what their sol-
dier boys began, unfinished? Tho
answer will bo in tho Victory Loan.
We want n completo victory. Wq
cannot celebrate until wo show the
vanquished foo that wo think enough
of Victory to nay for it. Do your
duty mid pay for the prico of peace
that you will enjoy. You have
bought something. It's yours. Lend
to pay for it nnd get n receipt. Buy
Victory bonds nnd help the Govern
ment that helped you. A few
months ago, wo wero lending for
wnr. Today wo aro to lend for
peace. Don't bo selfish and unpn
tribtic. Buy Victory Bonds and let
it bo a Lonn of Thnnksgivlng.
