the freedom and opportunities offer
ed here. Had he stayed in the old
country he would in all probability
have continued working on a large
estate, as his fathers had done for
generations, with no likelihood of
ever lettering his condition. But he
came to America and was very well
off. He could not go to fight, and he
could not send his sons. The only
thing he could do was to furnish the
money to back some other parents
sons who could go. So he bought
$4,000 of Liberty bonds, and thought
he might get more if he could turn
some property or use it as collateral.
And he is a farmer, with only such
ready money as this years crop
yielded.

tice and of right, a nation which has
sought from the earliest days of its
existence to be obedient to the divine
teachings which have inspired it in
the exercise of it's liberties to turn al
ways to the Supreme Master and cast
themselves in faith at His feet, pray
ing for His aid and succor in every
hour of trial to the end that the great
aims to which our fathers dedicated
our power as a people may no per-
ish among men, but be always assert
ed and defended with fresh ardor and
devotion and through the divine
blessing set at last upon enduring
foundations for the benefit of all the
free peoples of the earth;

gladly responding to the wish ex-
pressed by the congress. do appoint

the end that the cause for which we
give our lives and treasure may tri-

BONDS and LOYALTY
COUNTRY TALKING OF BUT ONE
THING-WHAT THE LOANS
FORETELL.

Conversation in the city is con-
fined to the topics of Liberty loan
bonds and loyalty, j. f. Stahl re-
ports, returning Saturday night from
Sioux Falls, where he is serving on
the federal jury. These two sub
jects are discussed by every person
one meets. The subject of loyalty
has perhaps a greater significance
and more of attention through the
action of the United States against
the Hutchinson county farmers who
signed the seditious petitions and
threats against the life of the gov
ernor. The statement of the inter
est given to the Liberty loan is COM
mon to the country at large, and it
is only in varying degrees of vital in
terest that the sentiment has taken
hold of the country, as measured by
the pocketbook.
There is a strong and growing be-
lief that the government will con-
script the wealth of the country in
case of the failure of the subscrip-
ton. The committees are reporting
the amounts collected of each, and
also reporting those who do not sub.
scribe, together with their nationality
and what they have done for or
against the country. This must be
for a purpose, and that purpose car
be for only n object, which anyone
can estimate for himself.
An instance of loyalty was shown
in the cas- of a man of Norwegian
birth, who had three sons, all Of
whom are past the military age as
now registered. He said that he had
come to this country as a young man
and every dollar he had was due t.
