STOP THE LIBERTY BELL

Uncle Sans famous liberty bell will
be sent from Philadelphia to San Fran
cisco, and officers of commercial clubs
and civic bodies in this section of the
country are making efforts to have it
come this way and also to arrange for
people to view it. In case it was rout-

would pass through Valley City. The
Commercial club here could get busy
with Fargo and other towns that are
interested and perhaps it could be pos
sible for our people to get glimpse of

Miss Fortner, County Agent,
Grateful and Enthusiast
ic Over Support.

With a busy week cor pleted, and
another busy week at hand Miss
Mary Fortncr, c9nnlng club gsnt for
Jefferson county, was most enthusl-
astic yesterday over the success
achieved in her campaign to have
business men and city jewellers to

Zone thing that happened last week
at Humphrey shows just how the
plans work out, and at the same time
demonstrates the appreciation Of the
help by the girls" she said arthur
Hickey of Humphrey furnished the
Gamer, cans and other such things,
tire full outfit, to one Of my club girls,
Rebecca iMcHenry. Rebecca had pre-
pared 2nd cultivated her garden, and
was ready to start canning. She
lives on Crooked Creek, four miles
from Humphrey, and the day after
she received canning outfit, twelve
cans of her product were placed by
Mr.. Hickey in tha' window Of the Nj.
P. Bridges store at Humphrey,
where those. who knew the circur-
|stances were loud in the expressions
CT congratulation."
Some of the girls have not yet been
financed under Miss Fortnsr's plan,
but during the coming week it is ex-
pected all of them will be furnished
the cans Or canning outfits they need.
The outfits and cans are purchase
for the girls by business men Or city
people who are repaid with the
canned product. One girl thus fin
anced has gathered 500 pounds of
ripe vegetables from her one-tenth
of an acre tract, before she received
her cans, and she is now busy can
ming the later crops.
Miss Fortner held a canning school
at Tucker Friday, and Their went to
Altheimer, to perfect plans for the
canning school to be held there, at

club members at Altheimer and a
larg: attendance is expected at the

During the week Miss Fortner will
also hold canning schools at Union

week for the farmers institute,
which will be another busy
week. as she will attend as many of
the farmers meetings as is possible.
Miss Emma Archer, head of the can
ming club work in the state, will at
tend the institute and will conduct a

of the recent rains, crops in all Sec
tons of Jefferson county are much
improved and all look good now.

YANKEE CLOTHES
FOR The Orient
Uncle Sam Hopes to Provide
Clothing for Japs, Chinks
and Filipinos.
(By Sidney Espey)

Washington, Aug 14.--Uncle Sam
is going to try and dress his yellow
brothers and sisters across the Pa
cific. Through the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce the govern
ment is launching a movement that
may result in American clothes ex-
clusively being worn by residents OF
Japan, China and the philippines
These countries heretofore have
bought most of their dress goods In
European markets The war has put
an end to that. Exports from Euro
pcan markets to the Far East are al
most nil.
Your Uncle Samuel has seized this
opportunity to Put Yankee maae
goods to the front A special agent
has been sent to, the Orient to get
first hand facts concerning condi-
tions there. He will obtain prices at
what goods SSH there. the import
duties on the various kinds OF dress
goods and other facts Of similar
nature. He will make reports to the
commerce bureau which in turn will
impart its information to American
exporters.
Inc war already HAS ISouiteu ~
booming American goods Of all kinds
in the Orient. Evsn without much
boosting by American exporters or
trade soliciting orders have been
pouring into, the States for various
kinds Of manufacturers goods.
The toy market has been exception
ally good. Germany and Austria
formerly supplied Japan and China
with almost all the toys sold there.
When the war cut off those two coun-
tries some Japanese manufacturers
began making toys and owing to the
demand they built up large business
es. The toys they msde, however
were Of flimsy character and were
broken up easily. This led to a de-
mand among the higher class OF trade
for better goods. American toys were
imported and although they were
much more expensive than the Japa-
nese goods, good market was Great
ed because they were of high quality.
