Tt is backed by the American na- tion. It can be sold at any time at full value. Jf you own a ‘Liberty Bond you own something that is better than cash— for it will be drawing interest at 3 1-2 per cent every minute. Weave out the patriotism of it and those who 1 buy.iwill have made a wise invest- PROM teat wast i a‘loan to your government and: there isn’t any better person to whom to loan money than Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam is all the ‘American peo- ple. This is the war of all the Amer- ican people. It is up to all American people to win this war, and one of the first things that must be done is to get every Liberty Bond sold and the money into the United States treasury. slant ‘AY Liberty Bond will never be a sa tiwhite yelepbant” on your hands. It ba Willy@lweys wbe money laid by. You vO! can lewve, it: there, drawing interest, | :!) Op $iertérgency you can sell it. It is as easy to cash as a $5 Dill. You don’t have to pay the full amount for a bond when you apply for one. You only pay two per cent of the value of the bond. If you apply for a $100 bond, you pay only $2 then. You can pay the rest when you get the bond on June 15, or you can pay it in installments that you can meet easily. A Liberty Bond is the safest thing in the world for you and, it will help z: the safety of democracy throughout the-workd "=" | That’s what a Libéfty Botid*ts. Ap- ply today for yours. . We haven't yet received (Mr. Taft’s ® opinion on letting Mr. Roosevelt lead a division; and Bill's a prime expert on Theodore's talent at leading di- visions, too. DRAFT MEASURE EXLPAINED. One of every 20 men in the United States, between the ages of 21 and 30, according to the select service law, will be in the first 500,000 select service men to go into training Sep- tember 1. There are 10,000,000 men between these ages, war department officials say. All, cept those already in the arml, navy, marine or national guards, must register whether married or sin- gle, whether in government service or not. In exemptions, after registration, Married men with dependents will be excluded. Government employes, farm hands, muntions workers, will be ex- ‘empt because of their work for the good of the government. . ‘The remainder, whose work would not help the government directly, will be examined for physical ability to serve. Of those passed as physically fit. the jury wheel will be used to select ‘each district's quota of the 500,000 men to be in training by September 1,‘according to Secretary of War Ba- ker. Immediately upon being chosen for service, the recruits will get a month- ly allowance of $20, as privates. ‘Those now getting $45 or more a month will have an increase of $6 pay, by the new law. When sent abroad for service, the men will receive 20 per cent addition- al a month. making up the army, will have 2,000 wood buildings, which will be built from the 6,000,000 feet of lumber the government has already ordered. The camps will be modern in every way and will be near cities, where wholesome entertainment can be pro- vided. The war department plans to re- store the rank of general, and with it, Neutenant general. Grant was our last general, the highest rank since being major-general. One ranking lieutenant-general is left, Nelson A Miles, retired. ‘The state national guards will start intensive training by July 15 and will, soon after be transferred into federal service. The Ohio and West Virginia guards are the first to be called. They will total ahout 23,000. IN TROUBLE AGAIN. Barleycorn is in trouble again, and it’s real family trouble, this time. The brewers have declar- ed for safety first:to the extent of at- tacking the distillers, which means that alcoholic “good fellows” aren't “getting together” as formerly. The brewers meet the congression- John in making drinks by declaring that it would send folks to excessive use of “harmful liquors,” meaning whiskey jand such. It is beer biffing whiskey to save its own scalp, and prohibi tionists ought to be able to enjoy that sort of a fight right well. To be sensibly patriotic, Congress would quit its seeing and hawing, find our just exactly what the command- er-in-chief wants, vote it, and go home. There’s too much complacency about Petrograd’s announcement that 600,000 Germans have been taken from the Russian front to fight in France. What’s Russia going to de about it?

FORMER CUSTODIAN— versed itself, as Senator Calder as- serts, in response to an overwhelm ing public sentiment in favor of send- ing Colonel Roosevelt and a volunteer force to the battlefields of France, then it must be assumed that the peo- ple of the country indorse the view of Senator Jackson and not. that of Senator Stone in the same connection. Seiitiment has divided along the line‘of the military attainments of the Colonel and the motive which promp- ted his proposition. The division was expressed exactly in the debate be- tween this senatoral pair. That Col- onel Roosevelt has not the necessary military knowledge and skill and that politics is behind his offer is the ar- gument of the opposition; that such an assumption is to deny the entire Ife of this patriot; that today we have adopted his preparation scheme and his preaching of undiluted American- ism is the slogan of the eniire nection to answer, But it seems to us: that those who oppose the Roosevelt tender overlook the vast sentimental value, upon which such emphasis is laid by both French and English commissions. If the result is to be accomplished, what matters it whether or not Roosevelt is a skilled military leader? What difference does it make whether it might "make him the great volunteer hero of the war?” The point is that Roosevelt is easily the American best known to the world; formerly he was president of the United States; his appearance in Francé, with a volun- teer force of Americans would exer- cise tremendous moral and sentimen- tal influence. It would hearten friend and discourage foe. Close analysis would unquestion- ably reveal the fact tha. those op- posed to the Roosevelt proposition do not go to its effect upon the war situation; they are influ2nced solely by personal opposition to Roosevelt. That is as far as they get. POPULAR NOVEL UPON THE SCREEN “The Price She Paid” one of the most popular American novels ever written, with Clara Kimball Young, the favorite of all moving picture act- resses, will be the Selznick-Pictures feature offering at the Auditorium May 28 and 24 The story is that of Mildred Grower, a young woman who hag been reared in luxury, and finds herself almost penniless at the death of her father. It is necessary that she make a good “match,” and because of the taunts of relatives she is finally forced to marry a multi-millionaire many years her senior. She finds her- self little more to hm than a fine piece of furniture which he displays to his friends to gratify hiz pride, and she leaves him. A former sweetheart provides her with money to enable her to study for an operatic career, but she makes but little progress, un- til another man, Donald Keith, shows her that success is to be reached only through self-denial. She then learns that she never was legally the wife of the. multi-millioinaire, as he had a wife living in an insane asylum. Finally she achieves her ambition and ie tree to marry the man of er choice. is picture .was directed by Charles Giblyn; wig bas recently P inet! the Selznick. forces.--; Jacob Reeder of Anamoose, former custodian:of the state capitol, called upon his many old friends on the hill today. GRADING RED TRAIL— ‘State Engineer J. W.

WANTS CROSSINGS— A New Rockford man, who is tirea of making a good fellow of himself for the Great Northern, petitions the railway commission to require that railroad to provide him with cross- ings by which he can transfer stock from one part of his farm to another.

SEASON BACKWARD..-- J. R. Waters, state examiner, who is home from a several weeks’ stay in Iowa, reports that the season is as far advanced in North Dakota as in Iowa and Minnesota. The spring has been backward everywhere, Mr. Wa- ters states, and fruit trees are just budding in the states to the south and east of us. A bumper fruit crop is expected, for the reason that there is now little cause to fear a blighting frost. ‘Farmers in Iowa have just begun seeding corn, which also is in The Day at the State House progress this week in the Missouri Slope.

FOUR KILLED. Youngstown, 0., May 22—A mys- terious explosion in the power plant of the Republic Iron and Steel com- pany at noon yesterday brought in- stant death to four men and injuries to 11 others. Five of the latter were seriously hurt and it is believed one may succumb. Officials were inclined to scout the idea that the explosion was caused iby war plotters. Heavy machinery was blown to | pieces, crushing out the’ lives of the ‘four victims and- pinning others to {the floor. Many were burned in the ‘steam which enveloped. the place. T. R.

More Admirers,‘Than He Can Make Back \in’ Good Many Years °°’ If Secretary of State Thomas Hall has any idea of establishing a resi- dence in the First district and becom- ing a candidate for congress it went a-glimmering this morning, when he received a ‘letter from a well-wisher in the Gate City, stating among other things anent the rigid enforcement of the automobile registration law: “You have lost more friends in Fargo recently than you can make back in @ good many years.” Good citizens of Fargo, when ar- rested for operating their cars with. they have mailed their money to the secretary of state and have not been supplied with licenses. .“Law-abiding citizens are being arrested and fined,” Mr. Hall's friend informs him.

Vivian on Trail. Irving Vivian, a newspaper man of many years’ experienc», left today for Fargo to enter upon his duties as special agent for Secre- tary of State Hall in connection with the enforcement of North Dakota’s new automobile laws. The automo- bile registration fee in North Dakota remains but $3 this year, a law passed ‘by the last session of legislature in- creasing the fee to a minimum of $6 for cars of 20 horse-power and 50 cents per annum for each additional horse-power, not becoming effective until 1917. In spite of this low fee, only 50,000 of North Dakota’s 75,000 motor vehicles have been registered to date. Furthermore, there has been practically no demand for dealers’ li- censes, one of which, at $15 per an- num, is required for each separate make of car handled. Backed by the long arm of the law, Special Agent Vivian has set out up- on a scouting expedition which will take him to Fargo, Minot, Grand Forks and other large centers regard- ed the most flagrant violators, of the registration laws, and he wijl leave in his wake a better knowledge of the workings of these statutes. A com- plaint received py the secretary of ‘| state Saturday advises that 23 dealers handling 71 different types of cars in Mjnot cannot produce a single li- conse tag amongst them.

FRAZIER DOESN'T THINK PRIMARY GAN BE HELD TO NAE HAN FOR GONERES Caroll No Mach- In a letter to Dow H. Carroll, mem- ber of the national executive commit- tee of the Progressive party, Gover- nor Frazier advises that no machin- ery has been provided by law for the holding of a primary election in the First district to name candidates tor congress to succeed the lace Henry T. Helgesen.

Governor Frazier is in no hurry to call a special election to fill. the va- cancy in the First, and those unfriend- ly to the Non-partisan league con- tend that he is waiting until the six months required to establish in tha district a residence for Howard R.. Wood, speaker of the last house of representatives and state manager of the league, have elapsed, when the organization will back for congress the former Deering man, who has re- sided in Fargo since the legislature adjourned. WHY TIRES GO FLAT Quite often the motorist finds that one tire become soft and that it is necessary to inflate it every day or so, which causes the motorist a great deal of annoyance and inconvenience and quite often he blames the tire- maker for a poor product; while this condition may be due to the fact that the valve stem in the tube is not Properly taken care of. An official of the Fisk Rubber Company says it may be that the lock nut at the base of the valve stem is loose and should be tightened, or it may be due to a loose or worn out valve plunger _By valve plunger is meant the little air check on*the innerside of the valve. The small rubber washers and delicate spring arrangements that make up this plunger become worn from continued use and allow the air to leak slowly from the tube. It is well if your tube becomes de- flated without any apparent cause to unscrew the old plunger and- replace it with a new one The valve caps reversed form a tool for this pur- se. These valve plungers very inexpensive and should be-#éplaced Occasionally “ae
