Making Americans Hate Them.
Mark M. Chatfeld received an in
teresting letter from Sergt. Geo. +.
Marsh, son of "Dad" Marsh of this
city, now with Co. D, 164 Inf, Al Div.
A. +. F., France. The letter in part
follows:
Feb. 2O-Received your letter today,
written JAN 3. Not so bad-nearly
two months after chasing me around
the country. l have been here about
six weeks Cannot say where). l will
not attempt to tell you any news as
it will not reach you so will try to
write censor-proof letter. You peo-
pie over there know more about What
happens here than we do, anyway.
The Minot boys have been placed in
different sectors and all Of them have
been in the trenches and out again by
this time.
Capt. Gross sent Sergt. Hofacker
and myself to school as soon as we
landed and l will never forget it. AL

We don't worry or let anyone worry
us about getting the Huns. We have
got them where the hair is short now
but they are still knocking over their
usual number in the air raids around
here, so I suppose they are satisfied.
If they knew how they are helping the
U. S. in building up the spirit of Hate
in the American soldier, they would
lay off a little, may be. Our boys are

No Applications for Seed After
March 20

Hundreds Of farmers have been
hauling seed and feed from Minot, fur
nished by the county funds, the roads
being worn down like pavements by
the hundreds of heavily laden wagons
that have passed over them during the
week. The county has already re-
ceived $4,000 bushels of feed oats and
10000 bushels of seed oats, besides
25202 tons of hay, most of which have
been distributed from the various
points.
The commissioners announce that no
applications for seed or feed may be
received after March 20, so those who
intend to place their orders had bet
ter hurry.

FULLER MOTOR COMPANY
OVERCOMES FREIGHT EMBARGO
Will Run 800 Autos From Detroit,
Michigan, to Chicago in Order to
Secure Cars for Transportation.

Conditions relative to securing ade-
quate shipping facilities from eastern
automobile centers is causing the grav-
est apprehension among automobile
dealers thruout the west. Fay N. Full
ler of the Fuller Motor Co., who has
just returned from visit to the
Dodge Brothers factory at Detroit,
Mich, in conversation with repre-
sentative of this paper regarding the
situation, says that conditions are
serious as there is an absolute en-
barge on freight shipments west ex-
cept such goods as are absolute ne
cessities. Every available freight car
is requisitioned by the government for
transporting munitions, war material
and war supplies. No amount Of per-
suasion or influence can secure an
abatement of the present order Of
things either. He says that many
dealers have got into disfavor by per-
sisting in their efforts to circumvent
the present policy of the government.
He says that in Chicago plenty of
freight cars may be secured and az a
consequence he had determined upon
an expedient that would afford the
Fuller Motor Company relief for the
present, at least. He will employ sew
eral crews of men, who will proceed to
Detroit and drive the cars across low
er Michigan to Chicago, where they
will be loaded in box cars and shipped
to their dealers thruout North Dakota
and Montana.
o. E. Harrison, sales manager for
the Minot house, left Tuesday for Chi.
cago to take charge of the work OF
transporting the cars across country
and attend to their loading and ship
ment. Mr.. Harrison expects to be
gone for at least 80 days. He said
chat while this method would involve
considerable additional expense to the
concern, he was obliged to resort to
this expedient as they had over 300
orders already booked for the immed-
late delivery of cars and felt in duty
bound to protect their dealers in any
event. No such thing as mere en-
barge on western freight shipments
can discourage the western man when
once he becomes determined to push a
venture thru to success.

The Elkers Celebrate Golden Wedding

The Elkers Celebrate Golden Wedding
On last Tuesday Mr.. and Mrs. Phil
lin Elker of Surrey celebrated their
5Oth wedding anniversary. There was
a large crowd of relatives and friends
present to wish them much happiness,
At two-thirty o'clock after a short
sermon by Rev. Sheels the ceremony
was again performed, not because
fifty years of trials and joys had
weakened the tie, but to bring back
more vividly the memories OF that
other day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Elkers were married
in Brombach, Germany, March H.
1868. Aroused by the splendid oppor,
tunities of America, they immigrated
in 1892 to Fairfax, MINI. They lived
in Fairfax eight years, when they
moved to this country, where they
have lived ever since. Their lives
were blessed by ten children, all OF
whom were living except one: All OF
the children were present and all the
grand children except two.
Before the ceremony the family
posed for several pictures in order to
have some material remembrance OF
their golden wedding day. Inc text
was read from the Bible civen to the
bride by the mother at their wedding
At the close of the ceremony, everyone
sat down to wonderful dinner. All
did ample justice to it, especially the
younger ones.
In the evening a number Of the
neighbors came in to wish the bride
and groom all the happy returns Of
the day. They spent the evening in
singing English and German songs
and playing games. Some Of the little
folks spoke pieces and Rev. Dierdorfi
gave a little talk in behalf of the Wis
itors.
The families represented were P. T
Elker, Carl Elker, Jonathan Elker
Tofelmacher, Niedermeier, John Ditt-
mer, Robt. Dittmer, Sheels, Maags
Dierdorff, Lambert, Lingefelt, Petry
Shorb.

MAKING DOLLARS INTO
MUNITIONS
BY T. J. Mulvey.

That's your individual role in this
war-to make your dollar into war
munitions. Every Liberty Bond you
buy means more munitions, and more
munitions mean more effectiveness for
our men.
And those munitions-how they are
needed! Hundreds of thousands, yes,
millions of shell shot into the en-
~trenchments and against the massed
hordes of the Hun in even a brief of
f~ensivel How can we turn them out
fast enough unless we make our dol
lars do the work
Pile up the dollars, then! Lend
them by the hundreds by the thou
sands, for Liberty Bonds The fast
er, the more generously we turn our
dollars into munitions, the sooner we
shall end the war, wipe out the blot
of Prussian despOtism, and bring tri-
umphant our boys back home!

BONDS BUILD BOATS"

Think of the millions of IONS the
Huns, vipers of the sea, have sent
to the bottom, from great passenger
Lusitanias to interchangeable fishing
smacksl
But America and American Labor
have sprung to the breach-we are
building ships almost by the day!
We need them! We need them to
transport the men, the bullets, the
food, the clothes-they form the
bridge across the sea-and three thou
sand miles of it to cover!
We have thrilled the world with
Dur. beginning and stricken the sheer
from the lips of the beast at Berlin.
You must keep it up! Bonds will buy
the steel, the wood, the concrete.
Bonds will drive the rivets, and set
our Flag at the masthead of the
greatest merchant feet that ever rode
the seas.
Well, then, don't put 1t off till to-
morrow, buy bonds today with every
cent you a get together. Then
pledge to buy more bonds on the in
stallment plan with all you can save
in the months to come.

HE Is DRIVING THEM BACK

Cantigny, Chateau Thierry, Sois-

"PAvE THE WAY TO BERLIN"

The first implements for the play
ing of this new game have arrived in
Philadelphia from Washington, and
soon will be in every town and city in
the Third Federal Reserve District.
They will be used in the Fourth Lib
erty Loan campaign, and every one
will hive a chance to lay a paving
stone.
The outfit consists of a large board
sign with a faithful map of France
and Germany painted on.
On the right of it, appears the
American front line in France. To
the left is Berlin.
Between the two points are con-
tours showing the hills and valleys
the mountains and the rivers, to be
crossed by the "Yanks'' on the trip
to the capital of Germany.
Every person buying a bond at n
of these signs has the privilege of
sitting in the game. He, or she, is
given a sticker to paste on the map.
1t is planned to complete a highway
from the American front to Berlin
during the three weeks of the coming
campaign. As an earnest of what we
will do to help our fighters, and as
an expression of what we believe they
will do with the help of those at
home, the Liberty officials are hoping
to make this highway as wide as the
map is high.
