THURSDAY, JULY 25; 1918. : : BISMARCK ‘DAILY: TRIBUNE NORTH DAKOTA GAVE 323 PCT. TO RED CROSS State Way Over Top Again in the Latest Patriotic Campaign WHAT BURLEIGH PUT OVER Assessed Itself When no Allot- ment Was Assigned and Raised It North Dakota gave a-grand total of $645,036.38 to the second Red Cross war fund. This is 323 per cent of the state's -allotment as made by the Red Cross war council in Washington, D. C. It puts North Dakota on record as the banner state. on. percentage of subscription, in the Northern divis- ion,;and makes it the fifth ranking state in the entire union. The total overhead cost of ‘the campaign at the state headquarters was $677.81, or only a fraction more than one-tenth of one per cent. The entire campaign was handled by the Red Cross organization alone, and without the addition of any help at the state headquarters here in Far- go. The state headquarters, with State Director N. C. Young and Exec- utive Secretary Harry Curran Wilbur in charge, even routed the speakers sent to North Dakota, relieving the division management of all this part of the work. Audit of Campaign Completed. These figures were made public at the state headquarters ‘this morning, following the completing of the audit of reports from: the ‘North Dakota counties and the receipt of reports from the 53 county campaign man- agers in the state. A formal circular will ‘be issued by the state headquarters later, for dis- tribution to all chapters ant branches. giving an account of the war fund campaign in North Dakota. “It is a record of which every North Dakotan who helped can be proud said Executive Secretary Wil- ur. -story of real sacrifices made by those who put loyalty to America. above everything else, by those who denied themselves comforts and even the ne- cessities of life to back up the boys who have gone to fight for them and us. * “Of the total amount contributed, $540,507.67 is invcash and is now on deposit in the banks of North Da- kota to the credit of Mr. McAdoo, treasurer. To this must be added the amount from Emmons county, which wassnot segregated in.the xeport. sent, is in cash. Every County Oversubscribed. “The estimates of the county map: agers, as submitted to this office, show ‘that approximately 131.347 peo ple-contributed to this fund. “Every county exceeded the allot: ment assigned to it by the state headguarters, and in many of the counties this could not have been ec- complished had not the people, in many instances, sacrificed even some of life’s very necessities in order to give to the Red Cross that it might be fully equipped to meet every de: mand made upon it in backing up our troops in Europe and the soldiers of our gallant allies. “fhe record made by the several counties speaks for itself. In some the allotment was, made low, because of the fact that last year there had been crop failures there. Burleigh county and Ward county were no allotted anything, because of the splendid showing each had made in the eontributions to the first war fund. Yet Burleigh and Ward, unso- licited, joined in with the others and helped make!possible this wonderful showing. i “Cass county raised the largest amount. It was allotted $50,000 by the state headquarters, and raised a total of $78.844.70 of which $52,697.80 was in cash. “Grand Forks county,. which vol- untarily doubled the allotment given even that amount, and scored a total of $37,375.38. The Ramsey Record. “Bach county really deserves spe- } cial mention. but space requirements ] will not permit of that. Ramsey | county, however, must be given first { place in Red Cross war fund work in North Dakota. “Ramsey county has a_ population of 15,011. It raised $21,486 in the first war drive in June, 1917. Figured on the dollar per capita basis, which i is approximately what the $100,000,000 figure called for throughout the na- tion, it exceeded its quota vy 46.835. “On this showing it would have, been asked to raise only $8.176 as its share: of the second Red Cross war fund, ‘but the Red Cross organization there volunteered to raise $15,000. Then, under the direction of Campaign Manager E. F. Flynn, Ramsey county Ked Cross enthusiasts turned in and raised $35.666.12. Adding this to the $21,846 raised in the first drive, Ramsey county has contributed a grand total of $57,512, or within $2.500 of what would be the county’s quota on four $100,000,000 funds. That is a record of which any couhy has a just right to be proud. Stories of Sacrifice. “Back of it all lies a story of sacri- fice, yes, hundreds of such stories. Men and women have denied theni- selves comforts and even the very necessities of life to give to this great cause. They have given. in many cases, when the canvassers, knowing the circumstances, could not keep back the tears as they took the gifts. It is customary to declare that statis- tical reports are ‘dry.’ Why. there are figures on file in this office shat touch the heart in a way that nothing else can'do. “It all means that there are people} who know of a certainty that nothing matters but winning this war. It means that thousands.of people in this prekt-state of ours have put the wel- fare of the boys and of America above everything else. It means that all who gave to this fund of mercy, know in their hearts that honor and truth ~ “Back of the record is a long! in, but at least’80 per cent of which | it by the state headquarters, exceeded | and tenderness and service count more in our fellowman and real understand- ing of one another are the fundament- als without which life, in its highest and noblest sense, cannot be lived. “The record is made up now and it will be kept intact, in order that, when the boys come home again, we may. submit it to them, detail by de tail, that they may know who helped and who it was who failed to back them up. The Overhead Expense. “very feature of the work of the American Red Cross is open and above board. There is nothing to con- ceal. Here at state headquarters we are proud of the record that was made. Every-penny of the expense incident to carrying on this war fund drive is met from the national organ- ization’s share of the membership dues and not a penny of it comes from the war fund itself. “That the people of North Dakota. whose generosity made this splendid gift to the American Red Cross pessi- ble may know just what the expenses incurred at state headquarters were, we have submitted, with the report on thé war fund, the total expenses of this office in handling the drive. “T feel that it is a complete an- swer to all who say there must be! some sort of a graft in this work. It shows an overhead expense of a jfraction more than one-tenth of one per cent. Every penny of expenditure is accounted for and every item has heen receipted for in full. “In connection with this expense account statement. I wish to point out particularly that the returned Canadian and Tritish officers who spoke under Red Cross auspices in North Dakota gave their time and service without cost to the Red Cross. They were reimbursed for their actual and necessary traveling expenses only. “There is nothing to add to the story, except to say. on behalf of State Director N. C. Young and myself, on behalf of the division manager, and on behalf of the Red Cross war council, that he are more grateful than words can express for the help and cooperation given all along the line. Without it, this rec- ord could not have been made. With- out it, the generosity of the people o fthe state could not have found so complete an expression. BUY W. >. BRINTON GIVES COURT ONE OF HIS LECTURES (Continued From Page One.) ino Liberty Bonds of the first issue; no Liberty Bonds of the se@ond issue and no Liberty Bonds of the Third issue. He had actually paid for no War Savings Stamps, he stated, but testified that ‘he had subscribed for some on the last drive, when he was solicited. Dave Larin, publisher °of a news- paper at Parshall, told of a consum- ers’ store meeting there in which he had heard Brinton say nothing that seemed to the witness disloyal. Mr. Darin’ suid‘of:his: personal loyalty rec- ord that he and his wife had_pur- chased $1,050 worth of Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps and that, although 49 years old, he had’ volun- teered to serve the country in any capacity in which it could use him in order that some younger man might be released for service at the front, and that he expected to go. Larin on cross examiration testified that he registered four years ago as a demo- cyat and that this year he registered | as a republican, in order, to use Dis-| trict Attorney Hildreth’s words, “that | he might vote the Townley ticket.” He admitted that he was interested | in the success of Townleyism in his own community and that he had sup- ported the Townley league. Sullivan Again E. Mackenzie, formerly a Congrega- tional preacher at Garrison, and who left the ministry to sell groceries for John Sexton because it paid better, testified that J. E. Sullivan’s reputa- tion for truth and veracity in Gar- rison was bad. Mackenzie was born in Canada, has been in America ‘since 1906, but is not yet a full-fledged American citizen. He was formerly a Presbyterian minister. After selling Sexton groceries for two years he took a job with the Equity packing plant {as stock salesman, with which he tes- tified, he did quite well until last De- cember, when he took an agency for automobile tire protectors. He de- nied that he had “left the religious world for the commercial world,” but insisted that he “carried his religion with him seven days a week.” Accuses the Post Brinton accused the Saturday Eve- ning Post of permitting its advertis- ing patronage to influence its editorial policy. He said that because Armour was a great advertiser, the Post pub- lished his picture, in spite of the fact! that Armour opposed the taking over of the railways by the government. He showed that the Post received $5,000 for inside pages and $10,000 for outside pages of advertising, and he displayed page ads of the Pullman Co., for Armour’s oats, Campbell’s soups and Dutch Cleanser which he intimated had been paid for to ‘pur- chase immunity. He said the Post had wanted, to run a page advertise- ment of the Consumers’ United Stores Co. brands, but that he had replied that they intended to name their prod- uct “Townley Soup” and that it would | need no advertising. He said he had} urged the farmers to buy bonds even though they had to borrow money at 10 per cent to pay for them, while the profiteering corporations were reaping a huge return from the war. He defended the loyalty record of his father and said thet although 80 years ol e was still struggling un- der a load of debt. sas id BUY W, S §.——— “DESULTORY BOMBING” IS ‘ EXCITING JOB Behind the British Lines in France, July 25—One of the most exciting tasks. to which airmen are assigned is what is known as “desultory bomb- i over one spot for an hour or more.

AR AR the craft glides nearer and nearer. Below all is quiet. No German search- lights are sweeping the sky. When the attackers are almost. over their objective a rocket rises toward them and bursts into a cluster of red stars. The machine has been discovered. At once six or seven searchlights, throw. their beams aloft. The pilot. looks at his watch; it is time to begin his desultory bombing. He flies steadily on, although a barrage of bursting shells lies now in front of him. The observer looks through the wires of his bomb sight to the ground below. At the proper instant he thrusts his lever forward and releases two bombs. A few sec- onds later he sees the ash of their explosions, and above the crackling barrage he can hear two dull roars. He signals to the pilot and the ma- chine turns and sweeps away from the fiery ring of shells and search- lights. ‘A few miles away the airplane flies to and fro at top speed. The puz- aled searchlights vainly feel the sky in all directions, and then, one by one, are switched off. Then the pilot quickly moves again toward the target. Another bomb is dropped. As it explodes the search- lights reappear and the barrage is renewed, while through the thickly grouped shell bursts are threaded the chains of green flaming globes, so much used by the Germans. Again the machine flies away and this time, to bewilder still more the soldiers below, the observer fires a white Verey light which slowly. drifts below and fades out. All the search- lights follow it until it dies. Repeatedly the airmen return to the attack. Bombs are dropped at intervals until the end of the hour, when the machine departs, flickering fires and clouds of smoke telling of the havoc wrought by the bombs.

Bemidji is one of the centers of In- idan popoulation in the Northwest. The Chippewas were among the first to go and scores of other Indians went with them. When the council of Minnesota Indians was held here recently, the delegates proudly wore their service pins. Every tribe had its men at the front. Directly north of here is the Red Lake reservation. ‘To the west is the White Earth Indians’ location. Fron there, westward through Montana, are the reservations on which severat thousand Indians live. Kipening grain, herds of cattle andthe whirr of farm machinery tell of the activities of the men and women at home. Varied ceremonies. marked the de- CARIGONET parture of Indian soldiers for their training camps during the past year. Many of the sons of noted warriors left home quietly; other youths were honored by native dances and clash- ing music. Few Indians have been rejected for physical disabilities and a large percentage of reservation men enlisted voluntarily. Until the dispatches were received this week, telling how the Indians crossed the rivers and approached erman positions without being detect- ed, there was some doubt as to where the northwest redmen, known to be in France, were stationed. Although the war department ‘has not definite- ly identified the scouting contingents, no doubt seems to exist in this dis- trict.

THE UNION DAYLIGHT STORE | OPEN SATURDAY EVENINGS - CLOSED: SUNDAYS When you set out to select the motor car that will best suit your own needs and your purse, you demand as ‘primary requisites, the highest degree of reliability with economy of operation. And every salesman you meet insists his car is that car. If you are informed, as you should be, you are liable to quote some of those Maxwell records—to see what he will say, mostly. He must say something and usually he affects to disbelieve those records. / You remind him that they are official —made under the sanction and supervision of A. A. A. officials. Then he insists that his car will do as well / or better. Your cue, at this point, is to ask that per- fectly, fair and most pertinent question, , “Then why doesn’t your car go out and . do it?” c : We'll tell you why—it can’t. Any. Maxwell salesman can take you through thi¢ car, from motor to rear axle, taking up in turn every unit and comparing design and construction and strengths with any and all other cars of similar size and capacity. Andhe will show you right there why this, Maxwell can, and that rival can’t. a For it is all there—in the design; in the/ dimensions of parts; in the quality of ma* terials and in the making. : Let him show you. He will take all:‘the time you will give him—and you owe’ it to yourself to know before you decide. Then when any salesman tries to ¢onvince:._ you that you ought to pay $100 or’$150 or |: $200 more for a motor car—ask him to show you one as good as this Maxwell. Insist on proofs—not mere statements. , For if a car will do it, surely that fact is susceptible of proof. “Claims are all right, but only proofs count.” That is the Maxwell slogan. If you would have the claims and promises of salesmen backed by proofs, and in official form—that car must be a Maxwell. Bacon Se x GERMANY'S Dove of PEACE-
