The Americans have gone forward in
a new drive toward Metz. That they
will obliterate the st. Mihiel salient
that has been threat to the French
strongholds of Verdun and foul since
the fall of 1914 seems assured from the
progress they have already made
This marks the opening of the first
major offensive to be entrusted almost
entirely to the American forces in
France, and that they will make good
and drive some more nails in the Kali
sers coffin is perfectly safe predic-
ton. They have attacked at one of the
strongest points on the enemy's line,
where an advance of a few miles will
bring them into German territory, near
the heavily fortified city of Metz.
Timed just when the huns have been
rushing reserves from all parts of their
lines to try and hold the on-rushing
allies back of what is left of the Hin
denberg line. with favorable weather,
absolute mastery of the air, plenty of
ammunition, and, most important of
all. hundreds of thousands of the
worlds best fighters, full of pep" and
assured of their own invincibility, there
isn't a chance in the world that they
will fail to reach whatever objective
FOch and Pershing have set for them.
The American people have followed
with the most intense interest the drive
that has resulted in retaining nearly
all the territory gained by the German
offensive of last spring. The new,
American drive will, however, COM
pletely overshadow any previous event
in the war in the mind of the American
people. 1t will mean longer casualty
lists, of course but it will show the
world that America is ready to do its
full part in winning the war.
What better stimulant, if one was
needed, could have been devised to pro-
mote the sale of bonds of the Fourth
Liberty LOan-''the fighting loan!"

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

The effort to separate Liberty Bond
holders not familiar with stock and
Fond values from their Liberty Bonds
has taken new turn The manipula-
tors instead of offering to buy the
bonds at inadequate prices offer in eX-
change for them the stocks and bonds
of various wildcat corporations, whose
face value is large but whose actual
value is little or nothing.
The safest investment in the world is
a Liberty Bond. For patriotic Am
erican Liberty Bonds are the best in
vestment in the world. 1t is not only
a wise thing to hold them it is a patri-
otto thing to do The soldier that takes
a trench and then voluntarily gives it
up is not to be compared with one who
takes a trench and holds it against the
enemy. An American who buys a
Libtery Bond and then sells it is not so
GOOD an American as one who buys a
bond and holds it. This does not ap-
ply, however, to one who sells his bond
because of real necessity; there is legiti-
mate trading in Liberty Bonds which
the Treasury recognizes.
1t was a wise and patriotic old col
ored American who refused to sell his
500 Liberty Bond for $96 because he
would not give up the United States
promise CHS bOnO to pay him 500
with interest for the United States
promise currency to pay him 500,
and who refused to sell the same bond
for $102 because, he said, that the $102
must be counterfeit or else the would-be
purchaser would not be willing to give
it for only $780, 1t is safe to say that
there are no gold bricks or wildcat
securities among that Americans
assets.

Il do know, however, that a large
majority of the men in these North

means, what part the United States
Government must take in this war if
1t is to be brought to a successful
conclusion.
They know that the people Of the

Every American must do his full

women of the Northwest appreciate
their duty to their Government and

everyone in America must get under

IN SPITE OF WAR AND HIGH
WATER

If you wanted to sell second hand
automobile, or rent house, you would
put an advertisement in the paper and
run it few times or until you sold the
machine or rented the house. and then
you would quit.
II you were manufacturing goods or
running store, you would maintain
your advertising continuously, because
you would not be aiming to make one
sale, but many-as many as you could.
AL right. Now comes along a war and
upscts your supply of raw material, or
slade-up goods, or maybe the govern
ncnt takes over your output or cur
ais it, thereby either completely or
.artially eliminating your civilian
rade. Would it be worth while to
.ontinue your advertising? That is the
question that many of our big indus
tries are facing What are they doing?
With hardly an exception they are con-
tinuing. Not with view of intiu-
But, realizing that present conditions
are going to melt back into history at
no very distant date they are keeping
alive their namse and regulations. Ii
they discontinued think of the millions
Of dollars of goodwill value back OF
all those trade marks and names that
would be lost, or greatly reduced.
Preservation is natures first law.
Preservation Of prestige is likewise the
first law Of business.
Among the larger industries to main
tain. and in fact increase, their adver-
'tising this fall, the VIM. Wrigley Jr.
Company is noted, as evidenced by the
copy now running OF a frequent
schedule in the News-Budget. Wei
come, Mr.. Wrigley, and we hope our
local merchants will be heartened by
your energy.
Also, Mr.. Wrigley, may we commend
your attitude of injecting strong pa
triotic note in your advertising, instead
Of the usual sales talk about .'Wrig :
ley's' being great for appetite and
digestion? We understand the soldiers
and sailors are taking most of your
output and that we at home will have
to chew our Wrigley's a little longer.
al right. 1.-The flavor lasts" anyway,
and we won't have to go completely
without, judging from the stocks OF
your goods our merchants are appar-
emily able to maintain in spite OF war
and high water.
We agree with General Sherman in
his definition of war, and we also agree
with Mr. Wrigley in his statement that
We Must Win This War and that until
we do nothing else really matters.
In this connection, may we be per-
mitted to remark that newspaper space
is receiving earnest attention in these
days of momentous news, and that the
columns of the News-Budget are just
as valuable as they ever were, if not
more so, in stimulating good will and
in maintaining the prestige of the
goods, the trade marks and the names
set forth therein.

The matter of making some kind of
a respectable street out of the two
blocks of Miner-av between the State
Bank and Uttormark's store has long
been discussed at intervals but nothing
has resulted and this street is the dis
grace of the town compared to any
other city of the size in the state that
we know of.
The only right way to solve the prob
lem would be to pave the street and as
soon as a beginning was made i'll paving
the remainder of the principal streets
of the city would rapidly fall in line
and want it.

SINKS GERMAN SUBMARINE
American Steamer Destroys Diver OFF
Atlantic Coast.


Atlantic Coast.
Washington, Sept. 11.-Destruction
of an enemy submarine Sept. off the
Atlantic coast by gunfire from the
American steamer Frank H. Buck was
reported to the navy department by
the master of the steamer. He said
that two shots were observed to hit
the submersible, which sank after a
terrible explosion"
The submarine, the captain said,
opened fire on the steamer at range
of $4,000 yards, but when it found
after an interchange of three score
shots that it was outranged by the
Americans guns it tried to draw off.
It was then that the ship put in the
two shots which the captain believes
destroyed the enemy.
