the condition of this street is bad and

ed the possibilities here in securing ad-
ditional payrolls, principal among
these being the stone quarr;es. He said
that the belief that the departure Of
the numbering industry from this city
will be a blessing is a gross mistake.

sion Of taxation. D. M. Cam 2rop. city
attorney, speaking as citizen and tax
payer, stated that the distribution Of
taxation in this city is most unfair. He
cited the Water Power company Of this
city as one concern which is not paying
one half the amount Of taxes it should
pay. This concern, he said, is valued
at about million dollars and pay a
tax of but two to three hundred dollars
on its property. He said that the COM
pany's transmission lines which extend
far away from here are assessable in
Little Falls and their total tax should
amoant to at least 81 900 year. The
! city should get after the local assessor,
Mr.. Cameron said, and have him get
the right assessment of this company 9

In asking you to subscribe to the
"Liberty Loan,' your government
does not ask you to SPEND your
money. Instead it holds out to'you an
opportunity to SAVE and to INVEST.
It merely asks for the use of your
ready cash. It offers to pay well for
the privilege and to give you in re-
turn the safest investment in the world
A UNITED STATES GOVERN
MENT BOND.
When you invest in "Liberty
Bond' you get signed "promise to
pay' backed by the TOTAL RE-
SOURCES of the RICHEST nation on the
face Of the globe-a nation whose
wealth is recorded at the astounding
figure Of $250,0Oo000, 900, or only $780,
OO0,O0O,0OO less than the combined
wealth of Great Britain, France, Ger
many and Austria Hungary. You get
the bond Of a nation whose yearly
income is estimated at $4,000, 000 900,
or TWENTY-FIVE TIMES the present
loan-one whose per capita wealth of
$4,000 is larger than that of any other
power and whose per capita debt, even
after the present $2,000,000, 900 loan is
sold, will be about $50, or less than
ONE-TENTH that of either Great
Britain, France or Germany. To bring
the debt per person in the United
States up to that Of Great Britain
($376 per capita) it would be neces-
sary to increase our debt to the astound-
ing total of $4,000, 100000, or TWEEN
TY TIMES the present loan.
Our last big government loan, the
100000, 900 of per cent Spanish-Am-
erican War bonds, was sold in 1898 at
par and by 1900 the price had risen
to 110%.

GREATER PROSPERITY FOR YOU
Most of the proceeds of this first Of
fering will be loaned by our govern
ment to the Allies-but not dollar
will leave this country or pay for other
than American products. This money
will be used to extend credit to the
Allies that they may continue to enter
our markets and pay us for the pro-
ducts Of Our farms and Of our factor
les. It will come back to us finally in
payment for labor and materials. It
will broaden the market for our goods,
increase the demand for what we
have to sell, speed up production and
yet guard against production.
Later on, it will make our govern
ment the world s biggest customer for
our own products because practically
the entire $2,000000,000 will come
back for re-deposit III our banks to be
used in payment for what our farms.
and factories produce. In short, this
great loan will quicken our industrial
pulse and make for BIGGER, BETTER
BUSINESS, not only throughout the
Northwest, but also throughout the en-
tire country.

SUBS RIBE NOW

Subscribe for your Liberty Bond
now It is as patriotic an act as you
can do. Secretary Of the Treasury Nc
Adoo says: "The greatest immediate
service the American people can render
in this war for universal liberty
throughout the world is to furnish the
means for it's vigorous prosecution.
This bond issue is the first step. I
earnestly bespeak the cooperation Of
every citizen throughout the length
and breadth of the land in this great
service Of patriotism. ''~
Do not purchase from solicitors or
agents. Any bank, trust company,
bond house, department store or post
office will take your subscription for
your Liberty Bond. Make the best
financial and patriotic investment of
your life today.

pulse anu make TOT bldGEh, BETTER
BUSINESS, not only throu ghout the
Northwest, but also throughout the en-
tire country.
AS GOOD AS CASH
In some ways the "Liberty Bonds''
are even better than cash-they are in
much the same class as United States.
Bank Notes-are almost as liquid as
a checking account at your bank
and THEY PAY YOU THREE AND
ONE-HALF PER CENT INTEREST.
Your banker will take your bonds as:
security for loan.
No investment you hold can be SAT-
er, and no other bonds enjoy such a.
broad and ready market in case you
wish to sell. You can get your money
practically as easily as you can with
draw it from savings bank and the
right to convert it into higher rate
bonds gives you absolute protection Of
income.
Bonds of every issue the United
States government has put out have
at some period sold far above the is
sue price. So it is almost certain that
if you continue to hold your bonds you
will not only get a " per TAX FREE
income, but also have an opportunity
to realize profit on their sale.
