This is Uncle Sam’s pay day, for nearly one million individ- uals living in the Ninth Federal Reserve district are expected to clip coupons form the Liberty Bonds of the Second issue. The total amount of interest due on these coupons, owned in'this district, is $2,658,847. What will the people of the Northwest do with this great sum of money is the question which is just now interesting the treasury department. If these two and one-half million dollars are taken out of the government’s treasury and put into the ordinary channels of trade, the government will be forced to sell just that much more of certificates of indebtedness or other securities because governmental business is being conducted on borrowed capital and will continue to be so conducted for some time. “There i8 one way in which the owners of Liberty Bond coupons can advance their own interest and at the same time serve their government, and that is by investing these coupons in war Savings Stamps,” said Mr. Rogers, Chairman o the Ninth District War Loan Organization. “We-hope a large percentage of this interest money will be re-invested in government securities. In a large majority of cases, the comparatively small sums going to individuals will not be actually needed by them, and by turning the money back to the government they will be practicing thrift, making a wise investment for themselves and materially helping the govern- ment to finance itself. “In spite of the fact that we have just successfully floated the Victory Liberty Loan, the financial needs of the Treasury Department are still greater than the money available. The proceeds of the Victory Liberty Loan have been anticipated and the money spent. While it is true that the expenses are rapidly being reduced, they are still immense and people will have to continue to save and invest in order to put the United States back on a permanent peace basis.” — (e FAVORS BROADER EDUCATION Avoidance of class education and application of practical patriotism is advocated by James M. McConnell, state superin- tendent of education, and in speaking before a group of teach- ers at the Winona Normal school he recalled that our country is no longer provincial. . “Use the national songs to teach the spirit of America,” said Mr. McConnell, ‘“for they teach the true spirit of America. If you do not thrill when national songs are sung, you are lacking in some important way. Songs are the result of our national growth., It used to be thought that a_person could be ill and no one else need be concerned. That is not true today; illness is a social matter. It is important that every one should be kept well. Hence, personal hygiene must be taught every- where. “Education must be broad. Our nation is no longer pro- vincial, we must think in terms of the League of Nations, not in terms of the articles of confederation. We have been taught in the last few years that people on the farm must be taught to remain there, and that people in towns must be induced to stay. in town. Education for a certain phase of life, means educa- tion for class. We do not want such narrow education. L L “The war has taught us thrift, a more important lesson| AL than has yet been taught in economics. The adults and chil- dren of this country have saved more money than ever before. We must now beware of the reaction against the restraint of war which begins to show itself in the tendency to spend money. A dollar was declared to represent four important. things, namely : necessity, saving, giving and pleasure.” Fred T. Lincoln, secretary of the Brainerd Chamber of Commerce, comes mighty close to being perpetual motion. The Brainerd hustler not only directs the activities of the commer- cial organization of his home city, but he is secretary of the Northern Minnesota Dévelopment association, which is in itself pi River Scenic -Highway association, the newly established route running along the “Father of Waters” from New Orleans to Lake Itasca and he is secretary of the League of Minnesota Community clubs. And all of these places he fills in able manner. — e If Bemidji citizens will give a little thought to the good which is certain to accompany the bringing of an experienced recreational director to Bemidji for the summer months that a systematic program of outdoor activities may be arranged for our boys and girls, they will contribute liberally to the fund which is to be raised Saturday by the sale of tags. ; is a young southerner who goes West, not for the gold that lures the others, but for adventure. He falls quickly into the habits of the people of the wild mining town, and soon has the reputation of being a gambler and gunman, That he has not lost his manliness of character and good breeding is discovered when pretty Lois Wilson arrives on .the scene, From that time on, the care-free young adventurer has a responsibility —the protection of the girl.
