2 . | | ” ON SITE OF NEW PUBLIC LIBRARY Human Bones Unearthed in Ex- cavating at Depth of Two Feet The skeleton of an adult human Was unearthed at a depth of two feet! in excavating for the new public li- brary at the corner of Thayer andi Sixth streets early this afternoon. | The bones were removed carefully and deposited on the grass at the side of the pit, where they remained at | press time. No metal of any kind, indications of a casket or any marks by which the | remains could be identified were | found. A workman first unearthed | a portion of the skull, so oxidized that it. was shattered when the spade struck it. An entire skeleton, stretch- ed out in a reclining posture, with the | | head to the north, then was uncov- ered. The ‘bones are so decayed that it is: impossible to determine whether the remains are those of a man or woman. Indications are, that the | bones have been interred there for 20 | Years at least. The soil is sandy and } dry, and disintegration would — not ; take place very rapidly. ‘Presents Mystery. | Before the city donated this lot to { the public library, the ground had been used for several years for the storing of machinery used by the street department. Old residents. do | 1 that the lot was ever occu-/| y a residence. In the edrly| days this corner was well outside the | ity, and pioneers regard it possible | that a burial.may have been made | th although the city cemetery | originally was about where the boule: ; vard now runs, north of the old high | school. ‘The fact that the body was s lowly interred might point to a hasty burial and foul play, but there is noth- ; ing but conjecture upon which to| base such an assumption. There is hard shale underneath the top soil here, and the grave diggers might! have decided that under the circum- stances a depth of two or three feet was sufficient. So far as can be learned the ground at this point has not been disturbed in recent years. RUSS HOME ON LEAVE. ! George H. Russ, Jr., the only Bis: marck man in training at Fort Snell | ing for the officers’ reserve, is home | on a short leave, which will termin: | ate tomorrow evening. “Major” Russ looks fit; says the work is hard but |g wholesome, that everyone is feeling | fine and profiting from the rigorous | training.

Shepard ashier First National Bank, Bis- marck, North Dakota For the third time in the history of the country the people of the United States gave been called upon to lend their money, to the Government. Dur- ing the Civil War and the Spanish American War the public loans met with overwhelming success and ,now the United States government~calls upon the American peonle to come forward and subscribe to the Liberty Loan of 1917. This Liberty Loan is issued in de- nominations of $50 and, upwards and bears interest at the rate of 314 per cent. Subscription «books will be open until the 15th of June, although the Secretary of the Treasury re- serves the right to close the books at an‘earlier date if found advisable to do ‘so. ‘Therefore, subscriptions should be sent in at the earliest possible op- j portunity. Payments to the Lib For a $100 Bond—$2 on subscription, ae $30 on August 15, $30 on August 30, Half these amounts will, of course, cover a $50 bond.

The Government simply asks the people to lend part of their money—it does not ask them tecting and upholding the rights of American citizens and of the civiliza- Subscribers to the Liberty Loan, as just stated, are not giving their money away, they ‘are simply depositing it with the United States government as they would in a bank. In all parts of the country financial institutions and business houses of every kind are offering their services without charge or profit of any kind for handling the ry details in taking <tare of ptions to the Liberty Loan. Even though America has been at war Tor some two months there are many people who do not seem to re- be restored. Of course, the main rea- sons for this lack of the part of the general public that we are so fara of hostilities and bu: much the same as usual, busily employed at good pa: nd, ex- cept for the free display of flags and the occasional sight of a few soldiers in uniform, life continues just the same as usual. Steady Course while it is important are y trom the seat ness is going on people are But for us to avoid being stampeded into any sort of pi and while it is most neces- for every one to avoid doing anything that will interfere with the; steady course of business or that will tend to upset the industrial welfare of the country, it is, at the same time, solutely nece: shall not fall into a’ spirit’ of complacency and think that the war will be won any- how, or that somebody else is looking after things and that we do not have to worry about anything. As a matter of fact, every American has a distinct duty to perform and that is to do his or her share to help the government. “Those who are in a ition to render military or naval service will-do so, but many are not and, therefore, since these cannot of- fer their lives for Liberty the least The-Country Needs Your Help; Buy a Liberty Bond And Contribute Your Share y} without doing something to carn it ito the enemy that Ameri they can do is to Tend a part of their money to the government which has undertaken the burdén of protecting them against the cruelty and unscru- pulousness of the enemy. First Real Chance The Liberty Loan is the first real} chance that the people have had to! show their patriotism in a’ practical way. Of course, there have been sub- scription lists, Red Cross compaigns and’ similar things, but these have been more or less of a local char- acter. The Liberty Loan, however, is a national institution that covers the whole country from North to South and from East to West and, as has | been said. ignature-to a Liberty | Loan application is © of far greater | practical benefit than a flag worn in| the button hole. The man or woman without a -Lib- erty Loan Bond a person without a country. No American has the right to accept the protection of the flag at this tremendous crisis of the coun- try’s history. It is a terrible mistake to think that the Liberty Loan is go- ing to be a great success without ef- | fort. No great thing of this kind; can be ‘successful without effort. Therefore, each person must feel that a distinct share of the responsibility | for the success of the Liberty Loan depends upon him or her. Do not be satisfied to let someone else do your re. Do not take a week to “think over,” but list your name for sub- iption to the Liberty Loan imme- diately. Every dollar is going to count and every dollar «vill be need- ed to make the loan the overwhelm- ing su it must be. dudge Patriotism Remember that the enemy is watch- ing and will judge our patriotism by the manner in which the Loan is ta- ken up. Every dollar you subscribe is a step towards v ry and a proof in. dead- ly ‘earnest over this war’ "Thére has | been too mych ine fion abyoaa to feel that we are in this war in more or of a half-hearted fashion and the Liberty Loan is what going to prove to the world that this is not the case. So let every person, no mat- ter what his or her walk in life may be, apply for at the very least one $50 Liberty Loan Bond. Remember that in addition to doing a patriotic duty by buying a Liberty; Loan bond, you obtain an investment of the very highest class of safety, and that it is the word of the United States government, backed by the re-| sources of the richest nation that the! world has ¢@ een-—resources mated at over 100,000,000. ‘an Exchange Bonds the interest: is: goojl an time in the future the Gov sues war bonds bearing a higher rate of iter iets to the Liberty bonds with- out expense o: y kind for an equal amount of the bonds bearing higher interest. 8 tected’ in thermore, in Liberty Bounds readily con- verted into ca There will be an active market for them, people in all parts of the world will want to buy them, so that any person who needs to sell a Liberty Bond will find it very y to do so.

We are suggesting for chis green feed 90-day corn, sweet corn, or oats and field peas mixed. One of the problems in the dairy business is to provide green feed during July and August, but unless cows are well cared for during those months they go into fall pasture and through the winter in much poorer condition than if fhe had green feed,” The same firm has offered to buy through its purchasing depart- ment tested seeds of all kinds and sell them to farmers at exact cost, and has helped, through local’ plant managers, to bring “defense com- mittees” in action.
