BOND TRANSFER A MISTAKE

We were surprised to hear of the
movement in Crawford county on the
Fart of farmers to exchange their Lib
erty bends which they are purchasing
for stock in corporations of question
able character which are being exploit
ed by representatives of stock concerns
now making a canvass in the county.
We fear the farmers are being made
victims of these concerns and will
find in time that they have not only
been ,duped, but are doing thing
which is of questionable loyalty.
Months ago warnings were sent out to
1.-THE people to beware Of concerns which
would be furnishing stock for sale and
would agree to accept government
bonds the same as money. This pre-
diction has now come true and it the
experience OF the farmers in Crawford
county is similarto that of the farmers
Lin North Dakota they will find that
they have been Sowing to the wind.
only to reap the whirlwind.' 1t is
not the policy of the president or the
government that people who buy Lib
erty bonds shall dispose of them at
the first opportunity but shall hold
them and the question presents itself
whether the man who buys Liberty
bonds and takes the first opportunity
| to dispose of them can consistently en-
plain his conduct. We understand
these people who are making the can
vass of the farmers come into COM
munity and select a farmer and drive
them through the county i'll order to
canvass other farmers. and that they
secure notes from the farmers and inn
mc1iateIy offer them for sale at the
banks. We know of a number of farm
crs whose notes have been offered to
banks of the county at discount and
| the banks. we are advised, III some in
stances at least. refused to purchase
them because OF the apprehension that
trouble will arise when the time for
c3lIccton comes.
II is claimed that the non-partisan
league is backing up this movement
and if so we fear that the result will
turn out as it did in North Dakota
when large amount of money was
collected and the farmers found out
hat the institution to whom their notes
had been given was bankrupt. The
reputation of the nOn-partisan league
for loyalty and efficient stability is
such that anyone transacting business
with it or its auXiliaries should have
notice of its undesirability. A repre-.
sentative of this organization was here
scme time ago and oge who was IA
miliar with it's methods notified him
that if he did not leave town in a short
time he would probably be dealt with
in a manner that would not be to his
advantage, and the man Immediately
left town.
We are frank to say that we fear a
great mistake is being made in this
movement which seems to have spread
throughout part of the county, and
we feel that it is our duty to give this
warning which may be entirely too
late, against taking up with strangers
who are not furnishing proper guaran'
tee as to the safety Of the investment
which is proposed to be made, and
which may prove that the farmers who
arc making this investment are ex.
tending aid and comfort to our enemy
across the sea-.

THRIFT STAMP DRIVE.

The drive for the sale. of thrift
stamps in the county has not resulted
as favorably as it was hoped it would
in the beginning. We have met but a
small proportion ofsfthe'& obligation
which was placed upon this county
and orders came from headquarters
that beginning with the first of next
week, for one week, drive should be
conducted with increased vigor, in or
der to insure better results.
1t is the duty of the council of de-
Tense to get behind this movement, as
we'll as every other movement for rails

sponsibility without any further notice.

that it were better for the man If he

1t is in this lesson there comes that
oft repeated expression, He that is
not against us. is for us 1t would
appear that the disciples found one
using the name of Jesus in casting out
devils who was not of their company
and had rebuked him This Jesus did
not approve Of He said that one try
ing to do good using His name would
not become His enemy. so that one
who was on His side should not be
put down but rather encouraged.

the war was timed at the hour it was

German emperor and his nation, the
awful costs being counted as nothing

Stimulating Patriotism.

Under a CONSUMPTION system, what
is to take the place as generator of
war enthusiasm, of the canvass for
volunteers? America finds it's answer
in the Liberty bond campaigns. These
give everyone defiance to work and
everyone chance to pay. The pa
rades in American cities inaugurating
the present campaign gave expression
to such outbursts Of sane. patriotism
as America had not seen sincesthe war
began The canvass for subscriptions
has been a campaign of education in
the wars reasons and needs. On the
whole, the bond campaigns have been
highly effective means. of patriotic
propaganda.-L journal.

April 2S-What Is True Greatness
Mark 9, $3.50.
| We have for our lesson today talk
| by Jesus which has in it thoughts OF
mighty consequence. There is an an.
swer to the question which makes up
the title above.
Looking back, we most naturally
think it strange that the disciples
should discuss as to which of them
should be the greatest in the near fu-
ture. 1t would seem as if they should
have caught so much of the spirit Of
Jesus and His humility that the ques-
cross their minds. In the lesson of to-
themselves as to this question, and
Jesus questioned them about it.
The matter of position is one which
enters deep into the minds of many.
| Even to this day great iealouses have
been stirred up, hates engendered
over place at table or in order of
presentation to the chief one of the
occasion. Jesus took this up at an
other time than the one we now con-
slider, when He advised that when one
is invited to a gathering he do not
take the best seat but lowly one, and
then if later given a better, he gains
honor in the sight of the assembled
guests. When told by the disciples
as to their talk Jesus first set forth
| the statement that in His estimation
one who would be first should try to
| be last, and the servant of all.
Tho innocence, lack of self assert.
ivcness and faith Of the little child is
acknowledged by all. TO give special
point to His talk on true greatness
and as to how His gospel should be re
ccived and accepted Jesus took a little
child in His arms and when attention
was drawn to it said you must accept
ne with the love and trust Of a little
one with no thought Of thereby gain
| ing advantage or greatness. Jesus
won't further and expressed flis love
for the children and said that any whc
did kindness to a child because il
was one of Gods little ones did a kind
ness to Him, which would be recog
niZed. He added further that ever
so small deed as giving a cup of wa
ter to another for "Christ's sake shall
not be unrewarded. r-" {
With little child still as the OBJ
ject lesson, Jesus pronounced pow
