LET'S FIND OUT.

Inasmuch as the only question raised SO far in
the road bond campaign and apparently the prin-
cipal question that will be raised against it, is the
patriotic one, that is that we should conserve
credit, materials and labor so that all may be
exerted for war purposes in war time, some off,
n ial some interested citizen some organization
ought to put the question squarely before the fed
eral reserve board and obtain decision on it. All
of us here want to order our affairs according to
the governments desires, but we have no license
to speculate as to what those desires are--we
ought to ascertain them definitely. And we
shouldn't waste time doing it.
It is reported that the county commissioners,
after once ignoring the suggestion, now contem-
plate submitting the question to the federal re-
serve board They are the ones who should do
it, for they are charged with the responsibility
of the expenditures that may be made, and we
hope that they will. If the patriotic issue is
really not applicable to this campaign, it should
be eliminated, and the only agency that can give
the answer is the federal reserve board If it is
applicable, the special election should be called
off and the people saved that expense.

"A STERN BUSINESS COOPERATIVE
BUSINESS

One of the unusual things about this war is the
demand it makes on the folks at home, on their
finances their labor, their industries, as well as
their good will and moral support and charitable
undertakings. More so than any previous war
does it require the fullest cooperation OF every
agency and every body behind the lines nation
industrialy and financially modified, and it is
just as true, perhaps truer in the case of America
rs it has been with England and France and Ger
many itself.
1t was this that President Wilson had in mind
the other day when he said in the proclamation
setting forth the prices guaranteed for wheat dur
ing the present year:
..The chief thing to be kept clearly in mind is
that regulations of this sort only part OF the
great general plan of mobilization into which
every element in the nation enters in this war as

STOCKS OF SAVINGS
STAMP BECOME Low

Central accounting postofices have
again been asked BY the postal de-

touch with their district postmasters
SO far as possible to see that the pup

According to information received
at the Fargo postoffice this afternoon,
the postoffice department at wash
ington continues to receive COM
plants from certain quarters that the
district postmasters in some
instances do not carry SUFFICIENT
stocks OF war savings and thrift
stamps.
This causes disappointment to the
public and unquestionably aHects the
