The slogan has been changed. North

sue in the spirit of plurals. Not the
least you can do, but the most
That was the spirit at the dinner
given by the Bismarck bankers last
evening at the Mckenzie to the bank,
: ers of this district and businessmen
asked to assist in the great drive to
raise the second war loan of $3,OOO,-
100000.
Governor Frazier in a brief speech
rendered his assistance to the local
committee, although deploring crop
conditions. '.r@
J. l.. Bell, yice-president Of the First

,Mr.t Fell explained that the meet.
, ing had been called to get the bank
lers together in order that our dollars
may SOe mobilized to back up the boys
who sthis and last week went smiling,
" to the defense of, the nation, to
bleed and die If necessary that the
manhood, and womanhood Of this ma
tion may enjoy the fruits Of freedom.
IF we cannot 90 to the 'front.'" said
Mr.. Bell, 1--WE certainly can serve our
country at home"
He then introduced Governor Fra
zier who explained that he had not
intended to speak but that he felt
| that he voiced the sentiment of the
state in hoping for the success of the
sale.
Governor Frazier then intimated
that the majority of the bonds must
be sold where the crops had been
good. The administration also was
represented by Attorney General
LANCER.
Governor Frazier gave the general
impression that he would assist and
that North Dakota would do its share.
Based Upon Financial Ability.
Mr. Bell in following explained that
the allotments would be based upon
the ability of the farmers to invest.
He stated that he realized there had
been short crops in some sections,
but bore down upon the necessity OF
all making some sacrifices so that
the boys who go over the top" in
mo Mans Land probably to death
may be backed by American dollars.
H. +. Goddard of Bismarck, pres.
dent of the Commercial club, who d.
rected the recent Red Cross cam
paign, has been selected to direct the
drive in this county spoke straight
from the shoulder. He said in part:
1--WE can spend all we have to save
our manhood and WOmanhOOd and
then if we have these intact we can
turn around and earn some more. Any
one who is not heart and soul in this
matter is a "micrObe," as Roosevelt
we'll said. He is a Stacker. He has
a streak of yellow in him. 1t was
the Master who said:
He who is not with me is against
me-
1--WE cannot" he continued, afford
, to be anything but patriotic. Anyone
| of you who were down to see the
| troop train off this week, saw that
there was not frown on any of the
boys faces. They all went out to
duty with smile on their faces.
/ What is it that we are asked to do?
Merely invest in gilt edge security
Merely loan our money to the govern
! ment that these boys shall be sustain
/ ed at the front.
Goddard Hits From Shoulder.
I detest to hear the fellow say that
| we ought not to send troops abroad.
| Do they want the war fought over
here. Do they want the breast cut off
OF our women" Do they want the
, slaughter of the innocent repeated on
American soil?
mo! The time has passed to be
half-hearted. We must give every
cent if necessary to win this war or
else all is lost
Mr.. Goddard was applauded roundly
and the bankers and business men
there showed by their sentiments that
this loan is going to prove beyond per
adventure the intense patriotism and
loyalty of every class of citizens in
the state. whether they farm or toll
