NORTH DAKOTA
SYRIANS LOYAL
Each Member of Four Far
go Family Own Lib
erty Bonds

There are 5000 syrians in North
Dakota, and every one is loyal to the
United States. not only in word but
in action, according TO w. A. NeIma.
ll04 Second avenue south, Fargo.
Each member OF the four families
in Fargo. including children, is the
owner OF one or more Liberty Loan
bonds.
All are subscribers to the Red
Cross. and the fund for Syrian
Armenian relief.
The three Fargo Syrians OF draft
age volunteered before the draft, as
did dozens OF others over the state,
and there are now % Syrians IN
North Dakota's regiment, the 1slth
United States Infantry.
Probably no other nationality in
North Dakota has so generally given
its support to the government as
has the Syrian, said Mr.. Nelma
today, and know that none Is
more loyal.
The United States has given the
SyTians a home and protection, and
all that we own or expect TO own Is
at the command OF the government.

If Diogenes could have been abroad
in Washington this summer he would
have found the honest man he sought
two of them, in fact--and could
have hung up his lantern and retired
from the weary search, his mind con-
tented and free from the old worry
and encouragement.
While in the capital city where
they had gone hoping to secure ap-
pointments in the U. S. army, these
two young men, j. f. Jones and Bert
Miller, found a wallet containing
nearly $500. That roll of "kale" GER
tainly did look good to the>boys for
they had been hanging around several
days and all the time it had been a
case of all going out and nothing
coming in so far as money was con-
cerned. They admitted TO themselves
that the 900 simoleons would come in
pretty handy just at that time for
their finances were at a rather low
ebb; between them they had just 10
cents.
Even the strongest man might have
yielded to temptation under the cir
cumstances, pocketed the money and
kept mum but these honest youths
bravely invested half of their joint
capital in a telephone call in an ef-
fort to locate the owner Of the wallet.
The first call failed to get him. With
out moments hesitation they went
down into their jeans and brought up
the last nickel which they tossed in
to the gaping maw Of the telephone:
This time they got their man and
within a short time they were in his
presence. They handed him the roll,
explained how it came into their pos
session and started away.
No one knows what would have be-
come of our heroes but just at this
point the grateful owner Of the wal
let called them back. He declared
that such honesty was deserving Of
something more than mere words Of
thanks and that he proposed to re-
ward them. SO saying he placed in
their hands a comfortable sum Of
money (almost any sum Is comfort
able when you are brokel and bade
the lads call on him If they needed
more as it would please him exceed
inRly to extend them what financial
assistanc0 he could.
