meetings, when standing room
should be at q premium. the
seats, even h Lamar. are only
partly filed.
The only way Mr.. Beavers
could account for it is that the
people haven't yet come to full
realization Of the fact that we
are in war-don't seem to real.
ize it becauss;tss away of some
where else. AID though our boys
are in the training camps, we are
living in the atmosphere of the
hope. and in some cases the be-
lief. that the var will be over be.
fors they see actual service.
Mr.. Beavers touched on the is
sues of the war in q general way,
and the necessity of backing the
government IN both men and
money. Register Beavers told
of the good work done in their
Office in the recruiting line, and
of the Lamar rife club, and
dwelt particularly on the efforts
of their Red Cross organization,
and urged Springfield to organ
ize at once If they hadn' already
done so.
In this last matter we want to
add our voice to Mr.. Beavers
statement OF the necessity of Or
ganizing a Red Cross at once iu
Springfield. Every lady here
should be in the organization and
given Red Cross work to do at
their homes.
Lamar, has about 150 women
ut work on Red Cross articles,
who to date have turned out
something like 1900 articles of
the kinds needed by the Red
Cross nurses on the battle fields.
After ths addresses of Con.
gresham Keating and Register
Beavers, Fred Harris, food ad-
ministrator of Baca county, spoke
Of the food situation at home and
in Europe. and urged the import
ance Of economy, particular in
wheat and pork products.
A food committee was then ap.
pdinted. consltting OF Mira. Bail

Alberta, Mrs. Terral. Mrs. Allen,

elimination of waste and the con-
servation of food.
A display card will be furnish

Keatine's and Beavers
Patriotic Addresses


AS per announcement, Con.
gresham Keating visited Baca
county last Saturday, in company
with Register Beavers and Post
master TRAILER.
This was the congressman's &
third visit to Springfield, and ia
say that ne was amazed at the
growth and business develop.
ment Of the town and the whole
county is putting it mild. -
The visiting party arrived al
Springfield about 1920. When
they got here Postmaster Trax-
Ter thought IL was Denver, and
knowing it to be long ways
from Denver to Campo, he stop
ped off to talk things over with
the Great County Builder (beg-
ging Jones' pardon) and left the
rest of the party to go the rest
of the way.
The postmaster and the editor
thus being left untrammelled,
and with unlimited time, we
threshed out all the great prob
lens of the day, dropped bombs
all over the kaiser, and finally
closed in on his little band of out
laws and cut -throats in 1919 and
thus ended the war.
Congressman Keating an d
Register Beavers got back from
Campo after the postmaster and
the editor had got about a hun
dred yards the start of them in
cuisine department of the Palace
hotel, but before we knew what
was going on the two conservers
of food had caught up, and were
easily head and shoulders in
the lead when we finally came
under the ropes.
The meeting at the court house
having been announced for 2p.
M, and it being after 3 when the
party got to the meeting place.
several had got tired of waiting
and left. aud the crowd conse.
.quently was small.
The Herald .slast week lantici'
pated the nature of the address
the congressman would make,
and couldn't have hit it better ii
given direct outline of it.
However, the fine qualify and
feeling and telling nature of the
address could not have been an.
ticipated. Mr. Keating did no,
talk long. but in that short time
and Notwithstanding the small.
ness OF the audience, he made
one of the most pleasing and
forceful addresses we have had
the pleasure of listening to for
many years.
The thing that gave it quality
and feeling and made it pleasing
was that it was sense-just good
solid horse sense-and happily
couched in terms that were both
impressive and understandable
Mr.. Heating explained that he
worked ard talked and finally
voted against going into war,
but this being democracy, when
the government had spoken II
was the patriotic duty of the ci:-
izen TO- join heart and soul and
add his mite towards giving to
the war the kind OF ending that
will make future wars impos-
sible.
Mr.. Keating expressed himself
as being opposed to an armed
peace believes, now that tn e
sword has been drawn, it should
not be sheathcd until brute force
has been crushed to earth and
wholly initiated.
The congressman touched tell.
ingly on the necessity of con-
scripting the dollar along with
the man, of the necessityof f.
nancinv the war at all hazards,
of conserving food, cf cutting
out war profits, of working up
red cross interests. of the good
influences of the Y M. G. A.,
the safe guarding of our soldier
boys, physically and morally. and
other matters relating to and
growing out of the war.

President HQnsel Makes Appeal
To Fargo, Moorhedd and NorthDeSt

prospered since, and are willing to
give-shall they be given the op-
portunity? You are the people who
gave. You are the people who rails
ed the money. You are the people
who are building Fargo. Moorhead
and the whole section-the heart Of
the Mid North Land. You are the
ones who built the auditorium. You
are the ones who built the Y. NJ. C..
A., who gave to the "Y" war work,
the Red Cross and who responded so
nobly to the Liberty Loan call.
We must continue our gifts to the
Red Cross TO be sure, but in doing
this we must not sacrifice, our inn
portant home institutions. We will
subscribe to the Liberty bonds, but
this is an investment. You can sub
scribe to the Liberty Loan and at
the same time give TO Fargo college
by assigning the bond TO the college
endowment fund.
1t is up to you, citizens. You must
decide this question. What do you
say? We will abide by your deci-
sion. We placed all of the goods
about Fargo college upon the table
before. It was said IL we did this
you would not give. but you did. We
have put all OF the goods upon the
table now. We can trust you. Shall
Fargo college, because OF the war. be
forced back TO the pitiable situation
II was in four years ago or will we
conserve what we have built by q
little more effort and sacrifice?
Has Fargo college grown? Has its
student body and faculty grown? Is
IL spending more money in Fargo
and Moorhead? Has 1t added TO the
standing and beauty Of the city, to
its culture, 20 the richer, finer things
of life in Fargo and the entire COM
munity? Do we want Fargo college?
Are we willing to advance 1t?
Citizens. you can make of Fargo
college what you will. You can make
IL the glory and luster of Fargo and
the Mid North Land. You can make
Fargo college as a bright @ewel which
accentuatea the charms Of a beauti-
ful and beloved bride: or you can
make IL her Hhame-as a threadbare
and bedraggled gown upon a desert
ed and unsupported wife.
This il my message or appreciation
to you for what you have done for
Fargo college. This Is my earnest
appeal to you for your college on
the hill"
