They long to shout or wave, or bow their heads in rev- ‘erence. : But no woman does any of these things—be- cause waving and shouting in public “simply isn’t: -done!” : in the unwritten laws of convention there is no : provision for a woman's gesture of salute. ". Everyone expects a man to remove his hat when the flag passes—and he does it. Everyone ex- pects a woman to.do nothing when the flag passes and ghe ‘does it. ; Sali ‘<"But: that does not alter the fact that women wish’ to salute’ the flag and they SHOULD: salute it.:. Ansappropriate gesture must be found. ~ Women, as .well as men, are active American citizens: with a‘real part, in the war and a real stake’in the country. Not, all of them have a voice'in government, but most of them have a ‘¥elative in the army or navy, and most of them have families, or jobs, or both, or-all three. . The ‘American flag is their, flag, and they want to. ac- knowledge and accept its responsibilities as well ag.claim. its protection and ‘glory.- ay ’-From the American flag women get the same enefits as men, in a larger sense they give the “same service to it and feel -the--samé devotion to it. me All that is lacking is a formal, universal. ges- ture which shall express women’s loyalty” as the lifted hat expresses the loyalty of men. It is suggested that all women,adopt this formal --galute the following attitude: Attention, heels together, eyes front, right hand placed on heart. The flag is passing by!

Girls are working in factories and doing many. things formerly done by men before the war. If they are willing to help win the ‘war in this way itis up to the automobile owner to relieve the mechanic for government service. If more personal attention was given by. the owner there would be less demand for mechanics. Minor troubles and adjustnients can be taken care of by any owner. . Look after the small things and there will be less serious trouble developed. Profit by the following suggestions and you, Mr. Owner, will'find you are saving money to put into Thrift Stamps as. well as relieving'a mechanic for government work: - Ny E = Keep plenty of oil in your motor, transmission and differential. Keep ‘grease and oil cups filled. See that your universal joints are well packed with grease. Watch your brakes. Go oyer your car’ fre- quently and see that the body bolts as well’as those in your transmission and differential case are tight. Loose bolts on the latter will permit oil to leak out. If carbon starts to.form run your motor at’a fair speed and, using a small rubber hose, run kerosene through the carburetor. This will burn out all carbon very satisfactorily. The smoke coming from the exhaust will be very heavy, there- fore ‘it'is necessary to do this in the open. . See ‘that, your whieels have no’ side “play” and they run true. This is not: only hard on irigs-but-takes hundreds of miles from: the life facturers issue, instruction “books for. the care of their cars. Study your book carefully and relieve the mechanics “over here!’ for more important work “over-there.” members of congress! ? : KERENSKY COMES We are to be told by Kerensky himself his side of the Russian story.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY <~.. -steadily increase in value from the date 7 ors WAR SAVINGS STAMPS What Clty Fails to Raise Next Week Will be ‘Added to Its Allot- d Pa : ‘ment in Fourth Libertyglgar. Now is the time to take stock of your finances against the War Savings Drive next week. - ‘ The city of Bismarck will make an intensive campaign to go over the top, and every resident of the’ city ealled upon for serviee, Ea 2 While thinking of the War Savings drive, here is something ‘to remember: : The treasury department, in apportioning the Fourth Liberty Loan, will.add.to each district what it fails to make in its allot- ment on the War Savings Stamp. z So what is not raised in this campaign will have to be raised -im the Liberty Loan drive, and, to the man:of moderate means, the War Savings Stamp plan is by far theé¢asier and simpler. War Savings-‘Stamps are the answer of a great democracy to the demand. for a democratic form of government security. They are “‘little baby bonds.”” Like Liberty Bonds, they have behind them the entire resources of the Government and people of the United States. They have the additional advantage that. they a r fpurchase until: the date of maturity, and this increase is gudranteed.by the Govern- ment. These stamps are issued in two denominations, the 25-cent stamp and the $5 stamp. Se Siale For the convenience of investors a ‘‘Thrift Card’’ is fur- nished to all purchasers of 25-cent stamps. “This card has spaces for 16 stamps. When all the spaces hayesii®en filled the Thrift Card may be exchanged for a $5 stamp at-post offices, banks; or other authorized agencies by adding 12-cents in- cash prior to February 1, 1918, and 1 cent additional eact ‘month thereafter. Those who prefer may buy a $5 stamp-outright. These will be on sale. from December 2, 1917, until January 31, 1918, for $4.12. They automatically increase in value‘aieent a month every month thereafter until January 1, 1923, when the United States will pay $5 at any post oftice or at the Treasury in Washington for each stamp affixed to a War-SavingCeftificaté. _ When you purchase a $5 stamp, you must attach it to an en- grayed folder known as a ‘‘ War-Savings Certifieate,’’ which bears the name of the purchaser and can be cashed only by the person whose name appears upon the certificate, except in case of death or disability. This certificate contains 20,spages. If these are all filled with War-Savings Stamps between December 3, 1917, and January 31, 1918, the cost to the purchaser will be 4 2.40, and on JaNuary .1,/1923, the Government. wilk;pay the owner of the certificate $100—a net profit to the holder of $17.60. This is based on an interest-rate of 4 per cent compounded quarterly from Jan- uary 1, 1918. ‘The amount of War-Savifigs*Stamps sold to any one person at anytime shall not exceed $100 (maturity value), \ ‘and no person. may..hold such stamps or,,War-Savings Certifi- cates to an aggregate amount exceeding $1,000 (maturity value). If the holder. of:a War-Savings Certificate finds it necessary to realize cash on it, before maturity he «may at. any time after January. 2, 1918, upon giving 10 days’. written notice to any money-order post office, reecive for each stamp affixed to his cer- tificate the amount paid therefor plus 1-cent for each calendat month after the month of purchase of each stamp. A registered certificate may be redeemed, however, only; at the post office where registered. + oa - % In‘ other “words, ‘the plan is simple,~straightforward, and certain.
