LOYALTY DAY
PROCLAMATION

Today our country finds itself
embroiled as an active participant
in the greatest war-struggle the
world has ever seen. What can
we do best and quickest in the
present crisis? 1t is our duty to
understand clearly that every one
of us, man, woman or child, has
personal duty and responsibility
for American defense; and this
duty is as morally binding as the
law that says traitors must be
shot. Everybody is Stacker who
does not render now personal
service to Uncle Sam. Our mills
and our factories and fields, our
guns. ships and railroads, even
our military forces and billion
dollar levies, are but the empty
shell of our defense. The life in
our defense is the spirit in us. A
real personal sacrifice from every
American old enough and strong
enough to make there is the
clue to the end of the war. The
Kaiser will be conquered by arm
ed and trained unselfshness, and
nothing else. The only way we
can all show our loyalty to the
Stars and Stripes is to stand firm
ly behind our President and fight
this war through to a finish, be
the cost what it may.
Loyalty Day" is being observ-
ed i'll some manner or form in al
most every hamlet, village and
city in this broad land. We in
Wahpeton have selected Friday,
May the Fourth, as a day on
which we shall assemble and take
part in a patriotic program to
show that we, too, are Loyal
Americans-that the City of
Wahpeton is not lacking in that
spirit of patriotism which is be-
ing displayed throughout the land.
Therefore l, Louis Fligelman,
Mayor of the City of Wahpeton do
urge upon all citizens, that they
lay aside all other labors on the
afternoon of Friday, May the
Fourth, and join with their whole
souls in the Loyalty Day program.
And that no one may be kept from
taking his proper part, l further
urge that EVERY BUSINESS
HOUSE IN WAHPETON BE
CLOSED BETWEEN THE
HOURS OF ONE AND FIVE:
that all schools in the city be
closed; and that all citizens.
men, women and children-join
together in making Loyalty Day
the occasion for such demon
stration of the spirit of LOYALTY
and Patriotism as has never be-
fore been seen in our fair citv.
Dated this second day of May,
1917.

Mayor of the City of Wahpeton

SERVICE GREAT
 REASON GIVING
 OVERLAND LEAD

Due to an unusually heavy demand for Overland cars from Phoenix buy CTS, Fl. H. Hotchkiss, general manager for the Overland Arizona company, to- gether with a party of salesmen, went up to Prescott last Tuesday for more cars. The cars had been ordered from the factory but the rush of business prevented their immediate shipment, and rather than disappoint the buyers MT. HOtchkiss arranged to bring the cars down from Prescott. They re- turned on the Fourth.
 When asked to account for the popu- larity of the Overland cars. MT. Hotch- kiss promptly replied that in his opinion it was due largely to the ser vice such an organization as the Willys Overland is able to render tourists
 Using the methods of distribution of the Willys- Overland company to en- large upon his statement, Mir Hotch- kiss said
 "The company refers to the 5000 or more Overland and Willys- Knight dealers and distributors, located throughout the country at least one of whom is generally in close touch with the, tourist So extensive is the Wlilys- Overland organization, that it gives the Overland or Willys- Knight user sense of security on his tour which he could not possess. were he driving a car less widely distributed. No matter how strange the territory through which he is passing, the tour lst may feel certain that there is a Willy-Overland representative, con- pletely equipped with parts and other service facilities, not far away who can attend to his car requirements The advantage of receiving service from dealer or distributor who handles the make of car which VOL are using, as compared with the ser vice Of the average garage proprietor Who has no special interest in your individual car, cannot be over-est mated.
 If You happen to be from Arizona you can be certain that the Willvs- Overland distributor in Kalamazoo O, Butte, or wherever you may be. will give you high class service. He has personal interest in the car you are driving because it is his means ot livelihood
 Almost countless instances could pc related of tourists held up in ont or the way points, because there was i no one near at hand who carried q stock or parts for that particular make of car which they were driving. Sucl situation is rare among owners nj Wlllys-Overland representatives pron. erly equipped and ready to give the ! touring users of their cars every atten- eIoIl Wnlch the occasion may equire."

AUTO OF TODAY A NECESSITY
 IN BUILDING UP EFFICIENCY

Glenn Martin, general manager of the Borderand Motor company has some meaty ideas as to why the motor car has been taken out of the class of luxuries and put into the class of necessities.
 Essentially the motor car is q time saver" said Mr Martin, "and it is just as much a step ahead in the direction of efficiency as the modern filing system is in the office.
 50 much of any income goes for transportation of some kind The pos session of a motor car means that the owner is independent of pedestrian and strap hanging discomforts Fur thermore he travels quickly and goes and comes at the time that best suits his convenience. After all the pur-
 rar scOmeS to a point of placing the transportation expen- allure where it will work to the best advantage.
 'The city dweller has reaped man- benefits in the way of convenience and health from the motor car. But out on the farm it is filling a func tion which is equally important. Farm transportation costs are being cut to the core, adding a heavy percentage to the days work in the busy season.
 "The trip to town for supplies, ol the movement of materials from on" farm to another, that used to take up half days time, has become an hour ; tIua tn agricultural sections, the auto mobile will always be a necessity in the strictest sense. and it is counted as much an asset as d binder or mower

PATCH YOUR OLD INNER TUBES F
 YOU WOULD SAVE

The nractice of throwing away a tube which has been punctured or blown out IS dead wrong" states w. R. Johnson, Service Manager of the Fisk Rubber Company. This old fashioned idea still prevails among some autoistS, but it is on because they fail to un- derstand the advancement which has been made in the science of repairing tubes.
 "A good repair man of today can make good as new an injured tube Improved repair equipment and great CT skill on the part of the average re- paiIman account for this improved grade of workmanship. Motorists will do well to send their tubes 1vr repairs just as long as a reliable repairman will ac- cept them
 This is one of the steps which mo- torists can take to cut down tire eX- pense."
 In urging the preservation of tubes that have been punctured only once or twice, MT Johnson is striking at one of the most extravagant of the motor ists habits. The care of tubes is an important item for the consideration of the motorist who wants to keep his expenses down. Not only is there a reduction in the expense of replacing i luDeS, put lHeTe IS the greater saving on account of the casing. A bad tube suddenly letting the weight of the ! heavy car down onto the flattened cas- Ing causes untold damage which can never be recovered. This damage is of course increased if it becomes neces- sary to drive the car on to the near est garage for changing.
 By far the cheapest way out of such dilemma is for the motorist to keep | a reserve supply of one or two good tubes in his car, so that changes may made immediately at the side of the oad.
 In speaking upol this point, MT Johnson says: Never rin a car on ! f,at tire; keep spare tube on hand ready for immediate use. A short jun 1 of ac more than lalf a mile, no matter i how slowly driven, causes breaking down of the casing fabrics which can not be repaired. Hundreds of miles are ! taken out of the life of a tire by such practice. The only remedy and simple one-is /to carry spare tube so that change may be made immediately Do not wait till tomorrow-phone ! that WANT AID. to The Republican 1 'OffiCp now and 1ot your Wich fulfilled

Big Contract Adjusted.
The huge catalogue contract of the
Chicago mail order houses, amounting
10 some S35OOOOO, having been safe
ly adjusted, competition in the print
manufacturing trade came TO a stop.
The first line to test the printers
pocket was that Of the blotLiug paper
producers. Stock sold ordinarily at
3 and cents a pound and was incon-
tInentIy marked up to 10 and u cents,
in some instances reaching 10 cents.
Fast on the heels Of this elevation
the book gentlemen discovered that
demand exceeded supply and that raw
materials were scarce Book stock
selling at "a cents or less moved UP
to and Z cents a pound! Special
grades selling at and 6 cents were
abruptly lifted from to cents addi-
tionaL Jobbers were given little con
sdcration and customers none at all
Exploit Was Easy.
The improyidence of printers, and
the quick deterioration of supplies,
caused little stock to be kept on hand
by customers so the exploit Of ele.
waiting was easy It only required that
no dealer should supply customers 9th
err than those ON his books The few
that failed to meet this condition were
speedily without a stock TO draw upon.
The book and jobbing houses being
safely cornered it remained to "han.
d."' the newspapers. This was hardly
so difficult "a task as the earlier per.
lormance, though the load was heay.
icr and handicapped by the fact that
all roll paper such as dailies use. is
provided under contract The first
warning came when excess demand for
paper above contracted quantities was
called for because Of the expansion OF
business in the spring Of 1916. For
a brief time. the rise was moderate.
