CRANDL0YALTY
ASSEMBLACE
B0ttineau Pays Tribute to the Patri-
otic Lads Who Were Called to Their
COuntry's Defense.

The Loyalty meeting or reception
given to the drafted boys of Bottineau
county held in the Masonic hall last
Thursday evening was a true demon
stration of loyalty on the part of the
citizens of Bottineau and Bottineau
county as well.
At about eight thirty the crowd,
which numbered in the neighborhood
of 600, had gathered and the program
was started off without hitch. A
vocal solo by Mrs. G.. R. Gleason, a
quartette number by Messrs. L. N.
Neulen and Peter Scott and Miss AL
ma Gagner and Mrs. A. O. Williams,
followed by several selections from
the orchestra kept the large crowd at
attention until the only speaker of the
evening, DR.. Asher of Minot, was in
troduced by Lie. Holz, president of
the Commercial Club of this city. DR..
Asher's talk was a very impressive
one, appealing particularly to the 10y
atty of those who were at home doing
their bit. In the beginning Of his
talk he gave brief resume of the
cause of the United States being
drawn into the war and also of the
Kaiser's aims for world domain. In
conclusion the speaker told the Sc
lected boys that they could be sure
that the people at home were behind
them with every cent of their money
if need be.
After DR.. Asher's address the or
chestra furnished music for those who
wished to dance, after which a light
lunch was served. ...-.
The drafted boys left Friday morn
for training camp, and the Bottineau
county quota was in charge Of Nal
colin Campbell Of this city as Cap
tain, assisted by Tom Thorson, of Will
low City.
In all 70 men departed from Bot
tineau on two special coaches Friday
morning amid the cheering Of the
large crowd that had gathered to bid
them farewell. At Devils Lake the
two coaches were transferred and in
company with drafted men Of other
counties of the state, the rest Of the
journey was made by special train.

THE LIBERTY LOAN AND
BUSINESS.

What has the Liberty Loan to do
with the refrigeration business p was
asked by subscriber in the fastness-
es of the Rocky Mountains of the edi-
tor of the Refrigeration World. The
answer was sound and patriotic:
"At this critical time the success or
failure of the impending loan have
more to do with refrigeration than
even the machinery and chemicals
used in producing refrigeration. If
the loan fails, everything else will
fail with it. All business will even
tually be prostrated; nothing could
thrive"
1t is the business of every business
and business men in the United
States to see that the Liberty Loan
does not fail. They should buy Liber-
ty Bonds; they should encourage and
assist others to buy them. No busi-
ness in the United States is going to
succeed if the Liberty Loan fails-if
the Nation fails.
It is better business to buy Liber-
ty Bonds than to pay indemnities to
a victorious Germany; it is better busi-
ness to win this war than to have our
foreign commerce subject to the die
tation of the Potsdam Government.
The welfare, the success, the pros
perity, the liberty, and the happiness
Of every true American is bound up
in the Nations success. We are not
fighting alone for material interest,
for annexations or indemnities. We
are fighting for freedom and justice
and humanity and civilization. But
we are also fighting for the mainte-
nance of our commercial rights, for
the rights of our citizens to pursue
their lawful Journeys on the seas and
transport their commerce to foreign
markets.
It is patriotic, and a duty, to buy
Liberty Bonds. 1t is also good busi-
ness to do so.

assistant attorney general of the state
of North Dakota, died in st. Paul
hospital at an early hour Wednesday
morning.
Mr.. Brennan had been suffering for
the past few days with an attack Of

of the state in securing a settlement
of the matter Of the alleged conflict
between the county seed and feed

gone to Rochester for visit with his
father who had recently undergone an
operation in the Mayo hospital in that

"The prevailing rate Of wages for
