BE READY FRIDAY.
Local Campaign to Start Bond Sale
Will Open OF That Day.

r. Although the township of Sank
Centre and about half OF Stearns
county have been organized and the
committees appointed to solicit funds
-: III. s>econd L;,,.-y Loan ot 1917,
the Sank Centre drive will not start
until Friday. It was thought better
by County Chairman B. F. Dubois
to get the rest of the county on its
campaign feet and then devote entire
attention to Sank Centre. Exhaustive
plans have, been made by local Chair
man A. J. DuBeau and when the
drive. opens it will go forward with ali
the necessary "pep" and will finish
according to expectations. Sank
Centres share is estimated at APP
proximately 100000. It is gratifying
to note that about $4,000 has been
already subscribed voluntarily! If the
good work keeps on as it has begun
the sales committee will not be
overworked. .. .., -, ..,~..y..: e
The members of the committee as
appointed by Mr.. DuBeau are as fol-
lows: Messrs. Sherman Strong, v. G.
Wedge, J. B. Schoenhoff, Victor T.
Conklin, A. F. Strebel sand Henry
Rice. Each OF the gentlemen have
been appcrtioned districts and are
entirely efficient for their work. They
Gerry with them cards of two different
characters. One is the regular sub
scription card that is given the pur-.
chaser when he subscribes for the
hord. The other IS Il pleasant looking
blue card on which ale printed a
great number Of questions, One Of
atkesa questions asks why the person
solicited has not subscribed. If the,
salesman cannot sell bond, he
asks his man the reason for his re-
fusal. The answer then goes down on
the blue card and is sent to the gov
eminent authorities and the case is
investigated as to it's truth. It has
been interesting to note thus far,
what difference that little card
makes to some people. It is simply
another one of the governments
clever schenes to make the amply
dDAe cOLae across, VINO would not DO IL;
otherwise,
Tba4per gent interest on the bonds
has an attraction over the former
bonds. An added convenience has.
been provided in that the interest
coupons attached to the bonds may be-
cashed at the time Of their maturity
at any post office.

the Sank Centre drive at $3.50 FRI

Loyalty, patriotism and enthus-
|tiasm were not lacking but they were
not the predominating features. Deep
earnestnss,,a gripping determination
and bullet-ike business methods per-
vaded the proceedings.
The usual f1ap-doodle, buncombe,
gush and ., meaningless veribage
generally prevalent at such gather
ings were CONSPICUOUS by their absence.
Few addresses were made, Bishop
Busch made one of his "All" American
talks in which he outlined the duties
of the citizens of Stearns county IN
way and manner that only the Bish-
op can do and tersely stated that IN
this matter and on this occasion it
was a matter for the people to get
busy and it was the proper time for
politicians to take a. back seat.
A very large proportion of the
towns and local banks had representa-
tives at the meetings, and stern de-
termination was expressed that
Stearns county, that never in all
it's history has fallen down in time
of crisis would keep up it's record
of. doing the right thing.
Plans were laid for township orr
ganization and during the next few
days every citizen of the county will
be offered an opportunity to subscribe
to this loan. Those that do not sub
scribe will be furnished cards and the
government requires that these cards
be filled out stating the reaslos why
they failed to take bart in the loan
and these cards will be filed with the
authorities for future reference. It
might be well to state here that a
penalty is attached Cor failure to
properly fill out these cards in case a
subscription is not made.
The appointment of Mr.. Dubois to
have charge of this matter was es-
sentially the best that could have
been made. ' -. p: : >.
| His service as Secretary of the
Stearns County Agricultural Associa-
ton, has given him an acquaintance
among the citizens of the county that
few possess and his sterling business
reputation gives guarantee to every
statement that he makes. .....

Rhubarb Leaves.

More than one case is on record
where leaves Of the rhubarb plant pro-
duced fatal results when served as
greens" A survey Of all the avail
able data indicates that while the
stalks Of the common garden rhubarb
furnish perfectly safe article of food
for most persons, the leaves Of the
same plant may. not prudently be en-
ployed for culinary purposes. Rhu-
barb wine. which was once extensively
used in adulterating champagne. is
made from the stalks, yet DR.. William
.Prout, an eminent physician and chem
list who died In 1850, thought it was
so potent al agency in producing stone

UNITED BUSINESS MEN
TO DISCUSS NEW LEASE
Association Expected to Go on
Record Against Some of
Defects

The Smith-Mitten transit lease will he
taken up for open discussion tonight at a
meeting of the United Business Mems Asso-
citation in the New Bingham Hotel The
association is expected to go on record as
opposed to some OF the defects of the docu-
ment, which have been pointed out in the
public statements Of former Transit Direc-
tor A. Merritt Taylor.
Owing to wide difference Of opinion
among the members Of the board Of drec-
tors and the transportation committee of
the association as to the merits of the
lease, no action upon it has been taken
up to date. Yesterday, however. the board
of directors Nmet for two hours, threshed
over the matter and determined to take a
definite stand today.
After the boart. mas reported It's recon-
mendaton general discussion of the vari-
Gus provisions OF the lease will be invited
before a vote is taken.
