(Established 1873) <> He is the man whose activities increase realty values, make prosperous the banks, attract new industries and new citizens, draw buyers from the country here and thus still further increase the wealth in which every citizen of Bismarck shares. The case is clear; the circle stands intact and unbreakable. The home merchant is the guarantor of Bis- marck’s prosperity—and yours. Will you not stand by him as loyally as he serves you? Be fair to him. Be fair to Bismarck, Be fair to YOURSELF. What you need, buy now! ,And buy it in Bismarck, THE FRUITS OF BOLSHEVISM— STARVATION = — = | YOU DON’T HAVE TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON| VICTORY BOND DOLLARS | If you were to invest $100 today in any busi- | ness concern you would feel that you had to keep} an eye on that business. You might make money! out of your investment—AND YOU MIGHT} LOSE MONEY. \ It would worry you more or less. If you put $100 in the bank, you’d have times in which you wondered if your money was abso- lutely safe. There are three things which are absolutely necessary to existence—air, water and food. A man can get along without a house, without clothing, without a hat on his head, without shoes on his feet, without books to read, without pie- tures to look at. But everyone must have air to breathe, water to drink and food to eat. Failing in one of these | three essentials he will die. Before the war Russia was a world reservoir of food. Not only did Russia produce far more food than she consumed, but. there were vast If you bought industrial stocks or bonds with| areas of tillable and pasture land which could, and your money you would give many an anxious|it was expected would, furnish still more food. moment to thinking about the security of your investment.

BUY WHAT. YOU NEED IN BISMARCK AN : &« BUY IT NOW! Your prosperity is bound up with Bismarck’s. | Bismarck’s prosperity is bound up with that fof its business houses, its industries,.its banks and its merchants. : They in turn depend upon YOU—upon your co-operation and backing. The circle is complete. You cannot escape it. If your money stays here, within the home circle, the town flourishes, its schools thrive, its realty valucs rise, its civic undertakings prosper, its inhabitants—you included—are well off. If you scatter your money abroad in making out-of-town purchases, then some other city thrives as a result of your industry, and your own town’s prosperity withers with it. How shall you gauge your prosperity ? Doesn’t it‘méan, after all, simply the complete- ess of your well-being ?. «Doesh’t'it'invilve some- “thing more than the mere size of. your income? The real criterion is not the number of cents in your pocketbook, but the sensé of comfort in your soul. % That man is satisfied with life who has an established position in a thriving community. You wouldn’t want ‘ten: times your present income, if ‘you were earning it in the middle of the Sahfira desert. By every act of your daily life you indicate that you are happier for living in a prosperous community. | work, when you lunch in a restaurant, when you send your children to school, when you take the family to the movies, when you draw a book from! the library, when you enjoy an outing in the park, | when you attend church, you are profiting from ; the benefits of community life. Granting, as you! do by every act, that in community life lies your} }well-being, it follows that the more prosperous | ‘the community the greater that well-being. If it is to your interest to live in a town, it is pre-eminently to your interest to keep that town thriving, for only while it thrives will it be able ito offer you in the highest degree the advantages because of which you prefer town life. And remember that it is the HOME TOWN ERCHANT whose prosperity is the INDEX OF | YOUR TOWN’S PROSPERITY! More, it is the BACKBONE of it. The home merchant is the man whose clerks live in Bismarck. They spend their money in Bis-| arck. Their spending increases the wealth of ie town. Their presence increases its population, | s demand for commodities. The demand increases} le supply available for you; it stimulates local oduction, boosts local industries, adds again to| he local prosperity. . The home merchant is the man who pays heavy xes, and thus helps to support the schools, to tain fire and police protection, to pave the eets, to support Bismarck charity and institu- dvarches and hospitals. pay ascent less’ in "4 Today the situation in Russia is that not enough food is produced to keep the Russian peo- ple from starvation, and that the food which is produced is not evenly distributed. Presumably, the object of any government is ito make life safe. The apparent result of Bol- shevism intRussia is;td:make death sure to all ex- Ecept a felyg unless a Yadical’phange occurs: There ts an’ English workingman named H. V. | Keeling, for nearly a lifetime a member of the | British Trade Union of Lithographic Artists, De- \ signers, Engravers nad-Process Workers, for many |months a reporter on the Bolshevik Daily News, and, for several months in the latter part of 1918, |chief photographer on the staff of the commis- sioner of education, Unarcharski. He has returned to England’ from Russia and confirms what has been said of the classification of the Russian | people for the distribution of food. ‘(The latest ireport on this classification is as follows: Laborers on heavy manual work and children aré allowed }11-2 pounds of black bread a day; workmen on \lighter work allowed 3-4 pound a day; clerks, teachers, ete., in Bolshevik institutions allowed 1-4 pound; and those living on capital allowed 1-8 pound.) ; And the Russian peasants, he says, manage to keep alive on their hoarded supplies, which they refuse to willingly sell for the so-called money of the Bolsheviki. There is so much bitterness to- ward the, Bolsheviki. for. seizing. the . peasants” grain, however, that THE PEASANTS THIS YEAR ARE GOING ON A’GREAT STRIKE AGAINST THE CITIES; that is; they are going to plant only what they need for themselves. Keel- ing says: “I haven’t anything against the Bol- shevists except, judging from the results of their rule, I: think they have failed.” _ The cause of the failure is the very essence of Bolshevism, namely, the elimination of the pos- sibility of saving something for old age or disease.

Te ee WITH THE EDITORS | CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP CITY AND PREVENT CRITICISM A train on which a well dressed St. Paul citizen was recently traveling stopped at a small town. From the car window could be seen a dozen or more back yards. Heaps of refuse were scattered glistened in the sun. / The houses were dull, uninteresting and in bad repair. A couple of listless men boarded the train and sank into their seats, apparently thankful to be leaving the place. An hour later they approached another town. There was no dismal outlook there. The back yards were carpeted with close-cropped grass and patterned with flower beds. Fresh painted white fences separated the lawns. Most of the houses had been recently painted. “Is this the county seat?” the citizen asked the conductor, “No; that last town is the county seat,” was his answer, “but this place is going to be. That other town hasn’t got enough self respect to fight the bill that will make the change. This town is a hummer. It deserves to win.”—Zanesville (Ohio) Times-Recorder, at'last caused the people to rise against their op-} over the weedy ground.

I have gotten acclimated and only a little bronchitis and cough left Last’ week I was. called in to hea qaurters and asked to head up the a tivities of the region as an associate of the regional director and now have about the biggest job on the map here. IT am glad to be in a man’s work, and really doing something over here, since I couldn’t render my service in the army or on the front, or in the real dangers of battle. We are facing now about the biggest task the Y has ever put over in this place since over million men will come, through he and remain from 10 to 25 days route to the coast.

In fact we have discovered a regular| propaganda going on. They are figur-| ing in all the publicity they can, but the Y is putting it over for them. It is astonishing to see what the Y hi done.
