CAMPAIGN BEGUN !,
FOR LIBERTY LOAN
Marshall County Allotment Is $780,
ooo-The Total for Minnesota is $4s,-
OO0,ooo.-Everybody Asked to Do
His or Her Bit.

meeting Of the bankers of Mar
shall county was held at the court
house yesterday afternoon. to consider
ways and means for raising Marshall
comty's share ofgthe two billion dol
lars war loan The state of Minnesota
is expected to raise $43, ,OOO, zoo; and
Marshall count allotment is $500.
900. This seems TO be a large suunJef
money for one of the newer and only
partly developed counties of the state
to raise, but when the wealth and re-
sources of the county and the strength
of its numerous banks, as shown by
the bank statements, are considered. it
will no doubt be an easy matter to dis
pose Of the county's allotment of the
bonds, which will be about $500 per
capita
At the meeting of the bankers. the
county was divided into districts. the
banks in each city or village to make a
house to house canvas of their dig
trict. By this method it is believed
everybody will be reached and given
an opportunity to do his or her bit in
helping Uncle Sam to carry on this
war. That Marshall county will do its
full patriotic duty in furnishing the
necessary money can be taken 1er:
granted and it would be no surprise
to see the loan over subscribed seyefai
times. Nearly every bank in the co,iil-
ty was represented at the meeting and
all felt optimistic about the loan 4nd
confident that Marshall county will do
all that it is asked 70 do and e,ea
more.
Let everybody who can spare the
money help Uncle Sam by investing in
/. Liberty Loan bond, and in this man
ner show his patriotism as citizen.

The Senior Glass Day exercises this
year Will be given June LIST, in the
auditorium and will be of unusual in
terest. On June End, will occur the
commencement exercises This. is the
largest class by that has ever gradu-
ated from the Warren schools. Pres
j. c. Brown, Of the st. Cloud State
Normal School, will give the com
mencement address. We realize that
Saturday night is not convenient for
many of the business men of Warren
but it was impossible to get the speak
er for another night since he is en-
gagged to speak in other schools We
hope to begin the exercises early and
would suggest that the country people
come to the commencement exercises
and then do their trading after the
program is over. This will be presi-
dent Browns first visit to Warren but
we are sure, after the people have
heard him, they will wish to hear him
many more times.
We are glad to know that number
of high school girls have taken gar
dens, either at home or at the school
farm. This is a splendid thing to do
and shows the true patriotic spirit in
either boy or girl. May all who have
taken these gardens plant them care
fully and not allow a single weed to
have a place therein. Weeds are
thieves and should be treated as such.
The remnants OF the flag floating
from the high school building wiu soon
be replaced by a fine new flag to- be
purchased by the high school pupils
and the girls basket ball team.
Buttons on which are the words,
MY Country" and the print of the flag
have been procured for all the pupils
of the public schools. Let all wear
these beautiful buttons and thus help
to instill into the hearts of all the true
spirit of Americanism ~ ~

TRY to Find Oue About the Hobo"
and the new officer, who was as vet
without a title. had struck out his
plan Of campaign.
".Amortization,' Is the word, colo
nel," was Smiths prompt verdict after
he had gone over Martins summaries.
'.rhe best way to get at it now is to
wipe the slate clean and begin over
again."
The ranchman president was chuck
ling soberly.

Is what we must do with Timanyoni

said the colonel, taking his first lesson
In high finance as duck takes to the
water. Then he added: TT won't take
much Of a lick to kill of the old COM
pany, in the shape it's got into now.
How will you work itT'
Smith had the plan at his fingers
ends. With the daring Of all the perils
had come fresh access of fighting
fitness that made him feel as II he
could cope with anything.
'We must close up the company's
affairs and then reorganize promptly
and, with Just as little noise as may
&c, fern another cnmpany-which we
will call Timanyoni high Line-and
let it take over the old outfit, stock,

we shall still have something like
