The President expressed himself
quite forcefully to Senator Martin Of

The treasury of the United
States is raising money for car
rying on the war by selling
Liberty Loan Bonds, and it is
the desire of the government
that these bonds be bought up
freely by all people all over the
United States, not by any one
class.
1t is your patriotic duty to
buy a Liberty Loan Bond. APP
plications are accepted at any
bank. AS Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo said at St. Paul
Saturday, money is mere trash

American blood, but nevertheless
it requires an enormous amount
of money to carry on war so let's

MONEY ROLLING IN

Editor Petersen Of Askov, was
in Markville and Cloverton with
some of our bank officials solicit
ing business. We were informed
that the Markville firms expect
to have an exclusive Markville
weekly paper, printed in Askov.
How it will boost business in
Markville by sending five or six
hundred dollars to Askov we
can't just see. Of course they
have right to send to Sears &
Roebuck if they choose, but
farmers should trade at home.
Union (Cloverton) Enterprise.
The editor of the Cloverton
sheet appears to know more
about our business than we do
ourselves. 1t sounds as tho
Markville business men were to
send bunch of money over here
and get nothing in return. The
fact of the matter is that no
newspaper in Pine County has
enough subscribers in Markville
to give that place any publicity
and do it any good, and the peo-
pie of that place are anxious to
have a paper that looks like
something. The Union Enter
prise has now been established

which time we have net touched
that territory in the way of
soliciting business, giving the
man chance to show his wares,
but as practically nothing has
been done and we have been
urged by Markville business men
to do something in the way of
giving Markville publicity, so it
will be done. AS long as Mark
vile has no local printing office
they certainly have to get their
printing elsewhere and if the
editor of the Cloverton sheet
thinks that Markville business
men sending to Askov (which is
within the same county and
state) is like sending to Sears &
Roebuck, he has something to
learn. We didn't even suppose
that starting a Markville paper
would be any competition to the
Cloverton man as he is getting
practically no business from that
point. If the Cloverton scribe
wishes to start paper at Bruno,
Kerrick, Duquette or Nickerson,
towns tributary to Askov, he is
welcome to it. We are not claim
ing any town as our territory,
and especially not those in which
we do not reside.
