proceed with their business in order
to keep money in circulation. The
banks are willing to furnish money
for all legitimate purposes. He urged
the people to invest in liberty bonds,
which will help the country as much
as anything, and if the money is not at
hand the banks will be glad to fur
nish the money and take the bond as
security.
Orrin M. Pierce spoke on the sub
ject from the viewpoint Of whole
.saler. The speaker, who has taken
great interest as chief recrpiting Of
ficer for this district for the officers
training camp, stated that one of the
biggest businesses of the city at the
present time was Company D-and he
urged the support of the club in Sc
curing enlistments for the company
which must be recruited up to full war
strength. This, he said, demands i'm
mediate and energetic attention.
G. d. Colcord spoke from the view
point of the publisher and stated that
the 400 publishers of North Dakota
stood ready to throw their columns
open to the use of the government in
whatever capacity may be desired.
While news should not be suppressed,
newspapers can do much in keeping up
a spirit Of optimism and should be
careful not to feature anything of a
discouraging nature.
Geo. Won Media demonstrated that
he is an orator Of more than ordinary
ability and he easily made the hit of
the evening. He said that the auto
dealers were taking the view that the
soldiers would be held for at least
two years and were. adjusting their
business accordingly. The war is go
ing to call for an increased production
of automobiles. The automobile is
no longer considered merely a luxury
but it is necessity. He said that one
should not consider what effect wal
was going to have on business, how
ever, but what effect business was 60
/ ing to have on war. Increased bust
ness is bound to follow in the wake OF
war.
Major E.. S. Person spoke from the
viewpoint of the farmer. Altho he is
a banker, he operates large stock
farm and is practical and successful
farmer. He said that all have come
/, to realize. that the farmer feeds u:
| all and upon the farmer the natio1
depends for the success Of this war
The farmer does not take advice read
lily and usually resents with silent con
tempt or open hostility, advice from
men who do not know as much abou
his business as he does himself. Th'
farmer is businessman whose bust
