e A RS 1 i | | NOW IS TIME T0 "GET BACK ON J0B| 1.S. Must Have Moral and f'nian- cial Spirit of :People to Finish War Task. WORKMUST BE SPEEDED| Loyal Citizens of Ninth District Called On to Co-operate With War Sav- ings Organizations to Form So- cleties and Sell Stamps. “People of the Ninth Federal Re- serve District do not yet fully appre: slaté - the possibilities of good to them- selves and the great value to their Government. of the organization of War Savings Socleties,” said- A. R. Rogers, Chairman of the District War Loan Organization, in discussing Gov- sromeat financing progrees. “We have set about organizing 25, 800" or 30,000 War Savings Socleties ss the backbone of the .American thrift movement in this district,” said Mr. Rogers. “After a week of rather intensive effort, we have organized probably 1,000 societtes. This is not gotting results fast enough, and it is 20t in keeping with the ususal patri- otic response made to Government re- guests by the loyal people of this dis- trict. U s ' the organization of these societies is speeded up, we wiil dave to resort to some other means of impressing upon the people the need of thrift and the absolute. necessity of buying these smaller Government securities.” Results Will Be Obtained. Mr. Rogers and J, H. Meyering, Di- 2ector of organization of the War Sav- ings Division, both admit disappoint- ment in the progress being made, but insist that desired resuits will be ob- tained even though it takes a little ‘longer to get going at top speed than they at first figured. “We are not at all discouraged about the success of a district-wide organi- sation of War Savings Socleties,” said Mr. Meyering. “These socleties fur- aisl the 'ideal method for the carry- ing ou of the thrift educational cam- palgn, and the benefits 'to be derived from them are so direct and so ap- parent that the, people of these North- west commlmmen will gradually be- some more enthusiastic about them. “We are just beginning to recover from:a period of relaxation following the unexpected ending of the war. Peoplo everywhero have been celebrat- ing and naturally have been giving more attentlon to their private busi- ness and have had less inclination and \ime for patriotic work. Must Have support.' “The fact remains, however, that the United States Government must dave the moral and financial support of ‘all its citizens if it-is to finish its war job. Everybody must spend wisely, save and buy Government se- qurities. Reports we get convince us that men, women and children are be- ginning to realize this fact and to get back on the job. “It 18 the business of every loyal &merican to do everything possible snd co-operate in every possible Way with the local War Savings Organiza- tlon in the work of erganizing soclet- les and selling stamps. This district will never be satisfied to make a poorer showing than the people in other parts of the country in this de- partment of financing the Government snd benefiting themselves by forming uabits of thrift. Our good name and our future prosperity depends upon i, and we know that the majority of the people in the Ninth District are aelther short-sighted nor unpatriotic. ‘They are not quitters and we know they will do their shase in finishing the job. The only thing we are anx-. fous to impress upon them I3 that they must begin NOW." can Has Fine Record. and Has Son In Navy—Gave Time Lavishiy. — Possesgor of IS PRACTIGAL PATRIOT $26,000. in Liberty of & son in the American navy, and record of one German-born American who ' does’ not belléve in biting m hand that feeds him. ° He is August Heckert of Marietta, Minn, and has gained fame as Lac| Qui " ‘Parle ~cointy’s” prize, patriot. . -Chairman J. H::Hayden ot practical Mndl.on says that Mr. and Mrs. Heck- ert are the largest holdera of govern- ment securities in his county. In addition to their heavy:cash-con- tributions. to' the prosecution’ of the war- and the loaning of their son to Uncle Sam, the Heckerts have given lavishly of their time to various war agtivities; Mr. Heckert’s sterling patriotism re- cently made him defendant in a‘$10, 000; damage suit bronght by Ferdinand Kahlbrenner of Marietta. It followed a-stirring article in"a Marletta paper, signed by Mr. Heckert, in which he aired his'views about: certain fellow citizens that he did not beleve were dolng their part for their country. The jury returned a verdict for Mr. Heck- ert in .a short time. “This government made it possible for me to get along in the ‘world -and whatever 1 have-this country: is' wel- coms to,” Mr. Heckert told A, R, Rog- ers,. chalrman. of the Ninth. District w-r Loan Organization, & few MS ago. “The fact that I subscribed four or five times ‘my Liberty Loan: alot- ment apparenfly convinced the jury that I was sincers.” “Workers throughout the Ninth Dis- trict should find encouragement in the case of Mr. Heckert,” sald Chairman Hayden of Madison. *It-is 8- case like this that should’ bring shame to many men who try to avoid doing their part in finishing the job that their country started.” s » * # * * . » . . * . . . . * . * - * . . * * . * * . . » . * * * “ ® * - » * . . s - . - * » . ———THINK IN INTEREST—SAVE——r * + 6 & 6 5 e e b e e TO PATRIOTIC AMERICANS America went into the war without selfishness and with high purpose. We achieved vastly. Germany, dismayed by our enthu- siasm and power, feigned a knock- out, took the count, apnd the United States flag now flies from the strongest Hun fortress. Nevertheless, the heroic job which we_entered so fair-heartedly and carried on so effectively-Te yot to be finished. 8o now we whom prosperity will consider worthy the name of patriotic Americans must “carry on” until our debts are paid and the suffer- ing world is rehabilitated. Everyone should know the main facts in the case. Every one of us who can should tell the others these facts and drive home with written and spoken words the ar- guments that, based upon these facts, will prove every individual's present duty to his America. Join the Government Financing Crusaders! Use this ammunition and all the rest that you can se- cure to overwhelm the forces of the uninformed and the slackers. By pulling together we can finish the job and as 1919 crusaders can gain the Holy Land of Prosperous Peace. A. R.

The hall was tastetully decorat- ‘ed with the national colors and’ at o'clock a bounteous supper was served, after ‘'which- H. Arnold acted as chairman of the eoting. America was. sung, and. the pro- gram started with a reading by ‘Emma L. Anderson, gntmed "Péut’ Prayer,” ‘and’ we will ventiire the ‘assertion that. every one of those ‘soldier boys who have not obtained a “help meet™ so far, are now culti: vathsx thé’ habit of prayer. The reading was followed by a short addrees by D. A. Whiting. One feature of the program was the de- mobilization of v.he large service flag, which contained’ twenty-five stars. ‘The boys’ names were callad in order of their leaving for- service, and it sounded like a Fourth of July cele- bration as they each came forward star, The names were as follows: Roy Conat, Clarence Worth, Willlam Grover, Arthur Brown, Harold Lind- soth, Albert Grover, E.

Only one thing brought sad- ness -to. our hearts, and that was when the name of Private W. A. Hunt was called, who was laid._ fo rest ‘‘some where” in France, the entire assembly. arose and stood with bowed heads for one moment, and the boys in uniform stood at salute.! Then'a verse of the beautiful hymn, ‘‘The Lord Knows Why" was sung. My his rest be in peace,” and his name honored for the gervice he ren- dored that the world might be a fit place for others to live in. The names of the boys who have been discharged from service, but have not reached home, were read. They. are, Leohard Defore, Dorsy Spencer and Ray Hayden. Then the names of those still in service were called. They are, Mer- lin Reynolds, William Spencer, Clar- ence Conat, Dale Williams, Défmar Williams, Albert White, Herbert White, Howard Runyan, Melvin Run- yan, Cass Noland, Henry Johnson, and Arthur ‘Johnson. An effort was.made to get some of the boys to tell of their experi- ences, and while none of them would shrink from facing the German ma- chine guns:and schrapnel, not one of them would face that audience, but they arose in a body and gave three cheers for the Town of North- ern, and ‘say, it was a genuine Ameri- can yell.
