PAY TRIBUTE
TO The FLAG

Gathered to offer reverence to the
Stars and Stripes, an asscmblage
which taxed the capacity of the Elks
auditorium Thursday evening heard a
splendid program, eliminating in ar
eloquent, forccful Grafton by the Rev
Dr.. r. A. Beard Of Fargo, one OF
the most stirring speakers who has
ever visited this city. Observance OF
Flag day, an annual custom of the
Elks lodge, was occasion for the
gathering, Dickinson Red Cross chapt-
er joining the lodge members in
commemorating the day.
DIR. Stickney, chairman, opened the
program with an eloquent tribute to
the flag. In glowing words he told
Of the principles for which Old Glory
stands and which sons of the nation
are today marching forth to defend
Mammoth flag which Elks carried in
the Loyalty day parade was draped
across the platform.
Following DR.. Stickney the male
quartet rendered a selection and en-
core, then Judge w. c. Crawford was
introduced. Judge Crawford dwelt on
the purpose Of Flag day, mentioning
| CIlclC ~ WdS oil ttlludl CuSCOLl VI Cle
B. P. O. Elks to observe the day and
enlarged on what the flag means to
us as a nation. He declared that il
stands for equality and freedom for
all men under it's folds.
"We must contend with enemies
within, as we'll as without the coun-
try" avowed the judge. "All our foes
are not in Germany. Many Of them
are in our midst at this time, and
they are preaching treason to the
flag" He urged preparedness, and
advocated purchase Of Liberty bonds
economy and fullest support Of the
Red Cross.
Mrs. A. P. Nachtwey then pleased
with a fine vocal selection and Dr.
Beard was presented. He opened his
address with a history of the Red
Cross organization, from it's inception
in the mind of Clara Barton, and
then launched into an impassioned dis
course, painting war picture in vivid
colors.
"Sherman said, War is hell,' he de-
clared, "but this is hell to the nth
power. This is the most terrific COM
bat the world has ever seen, and we
must prepare with no delay to fight
the midnight assassin, the submarine
and the other terrible forces arrayed
against u.s."
"This is a government for the
people; in Germany, the government is
for the high officials only. They look
upon their common people as only a
means to an end. They are cruel be-
yond conception. For instance, high
official of Prussianism is quoted as
saying: The sight Of suffering is
good to me. Don't shoot the enemy
dead; cripple them, that they may
suffer. It will be lasting lesson tc
them. Faith, hope and hatred is my
creed; and the greatest of these is
hatred
compare this with the utterance
Beard. "He asks for humanity and
liberty for all, that the people may
choose their own rulers, and that the
small state may have the same privi-
leges and rights as the large ones"
DR.. Boards address throughout was
forceful and inspiring, one Of the most
stirring heard here in this time OF
stirring events, and announcement OF
his temperance here in the future
will assure a crowded house.

Joy for Fire Lads
Local Firemen Make Merry at
Big Picnic Along Green
River on Sunday.

Fire fighters of the Dickinson vol
sunteer fire department will make mer-
ry Sunday at a picnic to be held at a
point along Green river. Aiding them
in making it a big day will be MEM
abers of the Gladstone fre-battling
contingent, who will join them for the
trip to the scene of festivities. Glad
stone donated $25 to the local depart
ment in appreciation of it's help in
quelling the big blaze in that town
last winter, and to show that their
hearts are in the right place the Dick
inson clan invited their neighbors
here. A huge feed will be served and
there will be plenty Of amusement to
pass away the day. There are more
than 80 members of the local depart
ment and nearly all Of them will be

STARK COUNTY WILL
DOUBLE ITS QUOTA IN
LIBERTY BOND SALE

In flat contradiction of asser-
tions that North Dakota resi-
dents are apathetic in the cam
paign for Liberty Bond SUBJ
scriptions is a statement given
out by a Dickinson banker this
morning. The local financier
has calculated that quota Of this
eSu county is $4,000, and he is Of
the opinion that nearly twice
:his sum will be subscribed
here. With the First National
alone having slightly more than
$4,000 pledged, it is certain
that the other banking institu-
tions of the city will raise the
total to more than double the
amount allotted here. This is
sufficient proof that Stark
county residents stand squarely
behind the government, and that
they are ready to do their part
in carrying the present struggle
to a successful elimination.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up corn or caIlus so it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops Of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so 1t can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle Of freezOne costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

The pension bill provides for no in

makes it possible to pay those who

State Is In Bad Shape.

There is no use to try to smooth
over the fact that the state treasury is
in sore distress. 1t is not the fault of
the men. 1t is not extravaganza. True,
there are more state officials now than
there were 10 years ago. The states
activities have broadened. These are
aggressive times. The funding board
only Few weeks ago issued short
term notes to take care of a million
dollar deficit.
No picayunish looping off of sal
aries will save the state. though it
would be a graceful thing TO do. The
fault is with the taxing system. There
are too many people who do not pay
the taxes they ought to pay. They
are getting more out of the state than
the state gets out of them.
