EVERY EIGHTH r
PERSON BOUGHT
LIBERTY BONDS
Final Report on the Third Loan
Drive Is Splendid Showing
for Burleigh County
FARMERS NOBLY DID BIT
Although Short of Funds, Agri-
culturists Took a Liberal
Slice of Allotment

One person out OF every eight in
Burleigh county purchased Liberty
bond of the third issue, according to
a complete report made today by H.
P. Goddard, county chairman for tho
loan drive. The total number of sub
scribers was 1886. OF these $50 were
farmers residing outside of any or
ganized town or village; 415 were
women, and 1874 were men.
The total Liberty loan subscription
for Eurleigh in this Third drive was
$2S5,2O0. Approximately $4,000 of
this amount was taken by railway
workers Of the capital citv. $38, 500
was taken by the ladies; $196,8O0 by
the men. Farmers subscriptions to-
tailed $38 500, which is considered very
good in view of the. crop conditions
with which Eurleigh county agricultur-
lists have had to contend during the
last two years. aa - &l;fz All:
The average male subscriber bought
$1255O worth of bonds; the average
woman subscriber took 1921 worth.
The ratio of bonds as compared to as
sessed valuation of Burleigh county Is
is 025. None of the numerous COM
mittees had any great call for blue
cards. The spirit throughout the coun-
ty was excellent.
Bismarck has 1856 subscribers in
total population Of 5000 or Is per
cent subscription, and they took STA
500 worth of bonds or more than the
allotment assigned for the entire coun-
ty. As we'll as Bismarck did, it must
take off its hat to the country towns
and rural districts. whose final sub.
scriptions are reported as follows:

BORN AND REARED TO BE UGLY

In his Evolution of Baby-Killer' our his
torian errs somewhat in stating that the kaiser
started as IAN ordinary, wilfup' child. Wilful he
was, but he was one of the most extraordinary
boys ever born. He hated his mother, showed it
from the time he could first express his sentiments
in words and, just as soon as he was able, he made
her life one continued round of insult and abuse.
Heaven be praised! such boys are most extra
ordinary -
Wilhelm hated his mother because she was
English and because, when on drive ordered by
her, he was so injured that his left arm became
"withered." To be physically "withered" was too
much for the proud head of nation going mad
over physical and material power.
In the vast majority of instances, a cripple be-
comes sour, vengeful, representative, selfish, ar
rogant and altogether ugly, the opposite. AS to
disposition, there are very few ordinary, halfway
cases amongst crippes. They're either mighty
mean or mighty fine folks.
Willie Hohenzollern started out believing that
he was the greatest boy on earth, and there was
always that withered arm to keep nagging at his
belief. 1t really was tough on boy who was being
taught that might is right and Hohenzollern
can't have too much of it. His affliction, logic
ally, made him the extraordinary child that he
was and the extraordinary devil that he is

him and her, plenty and thorough, we'll be in this
war as we should be.
Money, nothing else makes the soldiers, ships,
guns, munitions and food go across. The estimate
for Americas expenditure on her armies alone, in
1919 is Is billions of dollars not dollar of which
can we borrow from other peoples. We have al
ready been called upon to subscribe for eight bill
lions, the bulk of which has already been spent,
or will be, this year. The present odds most de-
cidedly favor a long-drawn-out war. Anyhow,
we'll be downright foolish not to work with this in
view.
Let every man and woman consider the effort
that has been necessary to raise the eight billions
and then consider that we've got to come forward
with more, billions more, than twice as much next
year!
The guiding rule of every individual, as we'll as
of Mr.. Goffs commission, has got to be discour-
agement of every non-essential, to say nothing Of
the ever-growing necessity for our saving and
producing more of the essentials.
Begin following this guiding rule NOW!
