EXTRA EFFORT NEEDED Amount to 86 Raised (n Fourth Lib- erty Loan Campaign Probably Twice That of Last Canvass—Men, Wom- en and Children to Aid. The people of the Ninth Federal Reserve District, comprising the states of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, part of Wisconsin and the Northern Peninsula of Mich- {gan, have proven themselves to be real Americans. They have responded promptly and generously to each demand made upon them by their Government in this hour of its need. From the homes of these great Northavest states have gone thousands upon thousands of young carried out throughout the Ninth -Dis- trict is undoubtedly responsible to a large extent for the fine record made. The natural energy and clear- sighted Americanism of the great ma-]} jority of its citizens is responsible for the balance, Whatever the cause, the results have put this district ina class by itstif. ‘The managers of other dis- tricts look to the Ninth Federal Re- serve District for information and -in- spiration, ‘They want to know how it was done. Many of the rules laid down by the Government for Fourth Liberty Loan campaign in other districts are admitted to be un-|; The authort- |! ties in charge at Washington admit|) necessary in the Ninth, that the mén and women of the North- west will do what is asked of them in their own way, out will do it prompt- ly and efficiently. From all this, it ts evident that a great deal will be expected from ihe Ninth Federal Reserve District in the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. The standard set is so high that it will take extra effort to maintain it. That means that all Lhose who worked hard during the Third campaign will aave to work harder during the Fourth c#m- paign and that they will have to 0e aided by many hundred recruits. There will have to be more intensive organization ao that more individuais will be impressed with the necessity of doing. their part and each individ- ual will have more to do, The amount to ce raised fn tne ol nome be dis big no tietr battles, ‘These are the nd Oo bay for the outrages mbe has committed. men, cheerfully ready to do whatever tney were called upon to do and many ot them have already been called upon to make the greatest sacrifice. The men, women and children of liiese states ‘have given their time, their money and themselves to aid in the great work being done by the fied Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and other ivganizations. The rich, the weil to fio, and the poor have marched shoul- fer to shoulder in the financial army fiat ts carrying out every order is- ‘ued by those in command at Wash- Yagton. In fact, the people of the Ninth District have been so well organized and Have responded so loyally that they have put this district in a class by itself. During the Third Liberty Loan campaign, this district started its campaign last, finished it first, ex- ceeded every other district in over- guvscription of its quota, and, in the fale of bonds, secured a better per- tentage of distribution than any other part of the United States. Surely the people of this district have very great reason to be proud of their record. The pauliarly effective plan of or- Ganization adoyted and successfully Fourth Liberty Loan nas aot been of- ficially announced. It 1s commoniy thought, however, tn officta: circies that the amount will be 6ix billion dollars. This Is twice the amount asked by the Government tor the Third loan. What will this mean? {t will meas that there will have to de ao in- crease in the average amount giveo by individual subscribers and aiso & largely increased number of subscrib- ers. For the people of the Ninth bis- trict to raise $20U,000,000, it wu be necessary for every man, womaao and child to make an effort, to sacri- fice, to give up many things tnéy would like to do or buy, and uot ouly to do their full duty, but make it their business to see that every other man, woman and child does his or her duty. The Ninth District occypies a very enviable. position among the districts of this great country. The Ninth Dig trict. must retain this position. In order to do so, there must be put forth & united, whole-hearted effort “of all the people, by all the people; and for all the people.” ‘a British road improvement society ‘Offered a prize for a horseshoe ‘will minimize the anmage done shoes and at the ‘a I Btanchen of the f cette oo wore ge Sal e forces A Tell of Rain’s Approach.

P. P. CLAXON, NORTH DAKOTAN PRAISES WORK OF RECONSTRUCTION |. “Keep up the morale at home and you need have no fear for the morale on the vattlefront.” Such, in gist, is the message of the returned soldier to the department of lator officials at Washington. Out at the Walter Reed army hos- pital, in the wooded, hills north ot Washington, are several hundred wounded soldiers—men who will never again be able to take their place with the armies in France, but who are being transformed into useful soldiers of industry. There are among them men who have been severely injured! uy shrapnel and high explosive shells. Eventually, after they have recovered their normal health and strength and have learned new trades that will make them self-supporting and self- respecting members of the community, | they will be discharged from the mil | tary service. i A few miles away, in the Washing-| ton navy yard, is an army of toilers--- men who are making big guns and mu- nitions for the soldiers adroad. They recently pledged their whole-hearted government in the great task of win- ning the war, and they are working at top speed to make good, and turn: out the materials that are needed for | the task. Among these workmen is Joseph F. Hodgson, an expert machinist. His brother-in-law is in an. infantry regi ment now serving in France. A cous-, in is with another regiment, made up. in part from District: of Columbia guardsmen. Other relatives and many friends -have entered the army, and) one of his closest chums. has already! given his life. If his services were; not so badly needed at the navy yard he would himself have been in France, for, as he says himself, “There's noth-! ing I ever wanted so much to do as| go into the army.” H At the Walter Reed honpital he met Charles C. McGonegal. a young North: Lakotan, a Minot machinist before he enlisted, more than a y«ar ago, in the 18th infantry—“General Pershing’s Own.” The regiment was among the} tirst to go to France, but \cGonegal was left behind with a replacement unit, that was later merged into the same regiment of which Hodgson’s cousin was a member. He went avroad in December, was put promptly on the firing line, and was wounded in Feb- ruary. While his sfaad on ountpost duty, ‘vas under the fire of three ma- chine guns, the Americans replied a8 best they could with rifle fire. Two of the guns were posted where they could reach them. The third was in a shell-hole, and impervious to attack except by hand grenades. “So we started dropping hand gren- ades on them,” McGonegal explained, | “and naturally they dropped them back on us.” During the exchange of grenades, he was wounded by one which he was in the act of throwing and which went off in his hands. Both arms were blown off, ahd for two months he was in a French hospital.» No sooner was he out of the hospital, howevér, than he volunteered to drive an ambulance; and in that capacity he served three months before he was sent back to America. Of such stuff are our soldier | boys. made. Despite the loss of his arms, he can drive a car well. There are many men at the Walter ‘Reed hospital who have lost one hand, yet can make the stay- at-home chauffears look to their lau- rels. McGonegal drove over the rough battlefield paths, without accidents. | Eventually he hopes to become a chauffeur here. There was much for McGonegal and Hodgson to talk abot when they met at the hospital. To begin with, Mc- Gonegal was a machinist before he went to war. ‘That established a com- same init with Hodgson’s cousin. And thirdly, Hodgson’s own interest in mil- itary affairs proved a source of con- tact. But their talk turned mainly on the labor problem of the day. Hodgson has very prounonced ideas on that. He knows the war labor prob- lem at a_ “close-up.” McGonegal) knows, too, what labor can do and is doing for the men abroad. “When we first went abroad,” sata! man left at,home. They say it takes|_ five men:at home to keep oné man the field. The boys just want\those five men to’stick to their jobs.” Hodgson had just completed 24 hours. work. ona stretch. He had been sticking ‘to his job. “Not every machinist realizes What we're: up against,” he replied: \“Of course ,there dre some fellows who wouldn’t be affected, much by all the presidential proclamations -in the world, but they are in the minority. most of the men down at the navy yard are dofng.their best all the time. “But some of them still need to real- ize thé serfousness of this whole thing. : They have been talked to, un- til talk doesn’t get over any more.” “Over in France,” McGonegal went on, “the women are doing all the work. They're the firemen on the lo- comotives. told the rails to the sleepers. That's what the labor situation is in France, but it won't come to that here. Ameri- ca has mag-yower enough to work and fight too.” “Some of the men who come into machine shops are really getting mon- ey under false, pretenses,” remarked Hodgson. “They don’t know anything about machinery, and it takes the time of a good man keeping them frort do- jing some damage.” “The work of a real machinist de- pends mostly on the sense of touch, Hodgson went on. ‘It’s your fingers that make-you a machinist. You can’t measure a ten-thousandths of an inch with anything you have in the shop, but just, the same things have to be right.. That’s where the machinist in- stinct “and the sense’ of touch come in. You're dealing with metals which xpand at every added degree of tem- perature. Seven-millionths of an inch, the expansion of an inch rod of nickel steel, isn’t much, perhaps, but when you multiply that by ten inches and five degrees of temperature. you get a figure that is going to be appreciated.” “I knew a young man in the army,” McGonegal recalled.” “He-was a c lege graduate, and accepted for limii- ed service—non-combatant, They put him at work making gas shells, and. he thought he was wasted. He wanted to fight—couldnt see any use at all in making those shells. Why, he was doing skilled labor that had to be done—probably he was worth twice as much on that job as he could ever|' have been in the trenches. “On the other hand, I could have driven a car or worked as a machinist. but I was physivally fit, and the place for me was the battle line. It’s a big job, organizing a fation for war, ahd the government is trying to find every man’s proper, place. It’s the man’s job to stick in it—to do what he can do best. were told sabroad how .work- men were giving a day’s -pay to the Red Cross, or three hours’ work on July 4 iwthout pay—how they offered to work for low wages under govern- ment contro:, Those things meant a lot to us." > Hodgson mentioned a young man in the navy yard shops who had bought $1,500 worth of Liberty bonds in the third loan and has paid for them now. Some of then, he said, were working overtime, and using the mon- ey to buy really more bonds than they could afford. That spirit, he felt, was of the kind to win the war; but a few men seemed to lack it. “In the army,” he pointed out, “if a man fails in his duty be ts court- martialed or tried by ‘a summary court. -We have something like that in industry, but it.seems to me that it {defeats its own purpose.’ For example, if a man commits some fault, he is perhaps suspended for a day or'two. “In all that time his machine lies {dle—ang the output of that machine is worth perhaps $100 an hour: More- over, he earns nothing himself, and is producing nothing. The problem, I think, is to make sure that the men remain at work; suspension is, @ poor remedy.” He told of offe young men who had lost. about 30 days since the first of the year, and who, he,thought, was really earning more money than was good for him. -_ “Yet you can’t make a man work for less because he is single,” he admit- McGonegal. “labor wasn’t 4s smoothly | tzd. organized as it is now, and there wete occasional dufficulties. “For example, the food was good— when we got it. But we'd run short, about once a week. And clothing was Jacking at first—when I was wovnded I had an old pair of socks on my hands, and not much of any on my feet... Thit’s because in the big rush of preparing everything at onc2. labor couldn’t be mobilized as quickly as we might have wished. “But it wasn't long before there wes a big . improvement. moving i smoothly ‘and surely, and ‘we didn’t lack, anything we really needed. “That is what the’ workingmen’s! task is now—to keep things moving Things came!~ McGonega! told how. the “special service” men men—volunteers and drafted meh—work under military dis- cipline in France. “Some of them have uniforms, and some -haven't,” he explained.” ¢Those who have them, buy them.
