Minot has invested in more than
100000 worth Of liberty bonds, ex-
ceeding it's allotment by more than
a hundred thousand dollars. Not more
than half of our citizens were seen
by the committees at that, but the
work has now ceased on disposing Of
bonds of the present issue and those
who did not invest at this time will be
given an opportunity to get in on a
good thing" when the third bond issue
is offered a little later. The people of
Minot are patriotic as very few re-
fused to buy bonds. The work of sell
ing the bonds was in capable hands.
Chairman Graham and the members
of his various committees worked day
and night. Mr.. Graham had perfect
organization and the workers did
some great team work. Minot has
again demonstrated that she is cal

WAR Is HE'LL

The faint-hearted idea of feeding
American boys from rubber nipples
lest they turn slackers is silly in the
extreme. When the casualty list is
published, shall we blindfold our boys? ?
War is not Boy Scout parade. War
is hell. And this country better be in
hell than lose this war.
We believe in putting the situation
straight up to the boy--not trying to
fool him. There can be nothing gain
ed by deception, save defeat for us.
There will be few boys who lack
the moral courage at first to go, but
these boys can help at the home-sew-
ing bees and at the ladies' bridge par
ties.

THE GOLDEN HEN

Mrs. Mary Satko, poor Slav Wo-
man, who lives out in the Middle West
has hen that has it all over the
goose that laid the golden egg.
Red Cross workers recently called
on this poor woman, who happened
to know, from personal experience, of
the great work Of this wonderful Or
ganization over in Roumania.
The Red Cross asked her to contrib
ute, but she had no funds. Suddenly,
and with a cry Of joy she ran into an
other room and soon returned with a
basket of eggs. There were only
eleven eggs in the basket, but she was
certain that her faithful hen would
make it an even dozen on the morrow,
and the hen delivered the goods.
The story of this poor woman's gift
was told and little later the eggs
were auctioned off for eleven hundred
dollars.

The Northwest is facing a serious
fuel problem. This is the nid-autumr
season, yet the conditions have been
so abnormal that winter fires have
been burning for some time. Many
took the pains to lay in supply of
fuel early, but large majority of
citizens in the several northwestern
states have but small supply of fuel
en- hand. But little hard coal is to be
had and the Ignite mines of North
Dakota, owing to a scarcity of labor,
cannot nearly supply the present de-
mand and as the weather grows cold
er, the situation is apt to grow worse.

It is hardly believable that such a
small animal as beaver can fell such
immense trees. How does he do it |?
Does he rush at tree, give one hard
bite, look disappointed because the
tree won't fall, and then walk off and
say, at can't be done?"
No, he very patiently sits at the
base of the tree and gnaws and gnaws.
day after day, week after week, and
behold, the tree falls.
1t is the same in business; we see a
big problem before us. We rush at it
badly prepared and aim to overcome it
with one big rush. Remember the
beaver. Attack your big problem as
he attacks big tree. Gnaw at it
keep at it--days-weeks-if necessary
but keep at it.

Has the brilliant and daring young
