OnorOHOHOHOrOHOHONOHOROHONO HOLD LIBERTY BONDS People Urged to Retain Them as Permanent Investment. Government Discourages Practice of Merchants in Accepting Them in Exchange for Merchandise. United States treasury officials are seeking to discourage the practice fol- lowed by many merchants throughout the country of offering to accept Lib- erty bonds of the first and second is-| sues at par, and in seme cases ut a premium, in exchange for merchandise. They hold that such practice defeats | the primary object of the sale of the bonds, discouraging the general thréft movement and increasing expenditures, thus depriving the government of la- hor and material needed for war pur- poses, | “While I have no doubt that mer-| chants are actuated by putroitic mo- tives,” said Secretary of the Treasury | McAdoo, in a statement given out through the federal reserve banks, “I| am sure that they have failed to con- | sider the effect which the acceptance of their offers have upon the situation. | We are making the strongest effort to} have these government bonds pur- chased for permanent investment by the people at large, to be paid for out of the past and future savings of those who buy them. Purchases thus made not only result in providing funds for the uses of the government, but they also effect a conservation of labpr and material. “When the bonds are exchanged for merchandise, the primary object of their sale is defeated, discouraging thrift and increasing expenditure. In addition to this, such bonds, when tak- en in exchange for merchandise, must in most cases be immediately sold in the open market. This naturally tends to depress the market price of the is: sue and makes it less easy to sell fu: ture Issues at the same rate.” “Secretary McAdoo belleves that the merchants of the country, upon a more careful consideration of the subject, will discontinue their efforts to sel! merchandise and take Liberty bonds In payment for it.

D., May 16.—A ntm- ber of important amendments to the state constitution, including one for woman suffrage, will be submitted to the voters of South Dakota in the general election next November. The woman suffrage amendment which has failed of passage at the polls several times heretofore, will be be- fore the voters in a new dress, At the March special session of the legislature, which was celled to enact emergency “war” legislation, the suf- rage amendment as passed oy the 1917 legislature, was amended to prohibit the voting of aliens in the state. Here- tofore aliens who had obtained only their first naturalization papers, were given the ballot. As the amendment will be submit- ted to the voters it now embodies the projects of woman sufrage and. also the alien, voting clause. Woman sutf- frage supporters confidently predict victory for the amendment as every vote cast to prohibit aliens from vot-| ing will be recorded for woman sutf-| rage. Some anti-suffragists have as- serted that the amendment: will be found to be unconstitutional as it em- bodies two separate issues. A program of state owner: public uulities and state rur; including a constitutional amendment authorizing the state to engage in works of internal improvement and to extend credits to associations or cor- porations organized for such purposes, also will be submitted. Other amendments to. be voted on provide for: State ownership and operation of plants for the development of power upon open,streams and coal mines on land owned by the state. State insurance against, loss or dam- | age to crops by hail. State ownership and operation of grain elevators and warehouses, flour- ing mills and packing houses. State ownership and operation of cement plants. Authority for the state to engage in coal mining and the distribution and sale of coal. Increasing the salaries of state offi- cers to give-the governor $5,000; Judges ot the Supreme Court $4,500; the attorney general “and judges~of; the circuit court $3,000 each.

C., says the Wilmington Dis: patch. Hawk was coluntarily inducted into service at Bismarck several weeks ago. In his student days at Carlisle he starred on the ‘varsity football team and proved himself an all-around | athlete. At home. on the reservation, he was immensely popular with the three tribes—the Masdans, Arickara> and Hidatsus. Speaking of Hawk, the Wilmington Dispatch says: “Tommy is a ft ood Indian, an American from ‘head \o foot He hails from North Dakota. where his tr! men, the Gros Ventres, live, to join th Sammies. ‘Chief’ has proven himself to be the best all-around man that THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1918. ever struck Fort Caswell. He ig a dashing man on the gridivon, naving played several years with te famous Carlisle Indian school football, team, the noted rival of Yale, Harvard, Princeton and other big universi- ties. “The most interesting thing about him is that he enlisted as a private, not trying for an officers’ commission, although he had several years’ thor- ough military training and excellent credits. He is a bear cat in wrestling, and a whirlwind with the gloves, and a regular fish in the water.
