THE PRESIDENTS PEACE TERMS

! Americas war aims were summarize
led by President Wilson in a mastery
address before a joint-sessfon of the
two branches OF Congress on the 9Th in
istant. 1t was in direct RESPONSIBLE the
;German challenge in the negotiations
with the Russians at BFest-Lftovsk and
in thorough harmony with the terms
enumerated a few days previous by
Mr.. Lloyd George, the British Premier,
outlining the position of the European
allies. The President takes congress
and the public into his confidence and
makes plain definite terms upon which
the allied nations would be willing to
lay down their arms Germany had
and she got it. In brief the Presidents
proposals are:
Absolute freedom of the seas in
peace or war, except as they may be
closed by International action; remov-
al of economic barriers among nations
associating themselves t. maintain
peace; guarantees of the reduction of
ornaments to the lowest point eonsnst-
ent with domestic safety; impartial
adjustment of colonial claims, based
upon the principle that the people
concerned have equal rights with the
governments; evacuation of all Rus
sian territory and opportunity for
Russfa's political development; evacu-
alton of Belgium without any attempt
to limit her sovereignty; evacuationot
Roumania and Fighting of Alsace-Lor-
-raine wrong; readjustment of Ita1y's
frontiers along recognizable lines OF
nationality for autonomous develop
ment of the peoples of Austrfa-Hun
gary; evacuation Of Rounrania. Serbia
and Montenegro and guarantee for a
the Balkan states; sovereignty for
Turkeys portion of the Ottoman En-
pire and autonomy for other national
ties; IN independent Poland with ac-
cess to the sea; and general associa-
ton Of nations for mutual guarantees

of independence and loyal integrity to
large and small states alike"
To M of. these perfectly just and
fair proposals will the German auto
crazy subscribe and the war must, of
necessity, continue until Germany is
beaten. Being in. a high state of pre-
paredness at the.-Outset, the Anetro-
German armies have succeeded in in
vading foreign territory and they are,
at present, determined to consider no
peace proposals which leave annexa-
tons out of the calculation. The
contend for peace with honor
ard will be content with nothing less.

ARE YOU DOING YOUR BITg

The campaign for Thrift Stamps and
War Savings Certificates is on. The
postofices, banks, rural mail carriers
and government repositories generally
have made available an opportunity
for every one who desires to do his
Bit in the purchase of these baby
bonds" The masses were not expect
ed to buy Liberty Bonds, for the sim
pie reason that they were not issued
in denominations for the average man
to handle. But there is not n per-
son in a hundred who cannot save
enough out of his, or her earnings to
purchase sixteen Thrift Stamps at
twenty-five cents apiece. By adding
twelve cents to the four dollars, if
purchased during the month of Jan
uary, the holder receives a War Saw
ings Certificate which entities him to
five dollars on the first day of January,
1928. In other words he will get back
the money loaned the government and

quarterly. In February these ive-dol-
lar certificates will cost $4.14; in
March, SAILS, or one cent additional
for each month during the year, this
being required to take care of accrued
interest at maturity. The same prin
ciple applies in the issue of five dollar
stamps and one hundred-dollar certifi-
Gates. No safer or better plan for saw
ing the odds and ends was ever inau-
gurated and the thrift boy and girl,
as well as the grown-up, may find the
opportunity of a lifetime to provide
for the proverbial rainy day" and, at
the same time, help win the war.
A War Savings Certificate should
be in every home. Loaning our money
to the Government is a small sacrifice
for people to make who have no fight
ing to do. Instead of one certificate
in a home there should be many, at
least n for each member of every
family. What is pa1try dollars any
way compared to the sacrifice our boys
are making in offering their lives that
we may continue in the enjoyment OF
happy homes in a free country? An
easy way of assisting them is open to
you. Will you do it? Why not have a
hand IN winning a glorious victory?

which period the writer has had occa-

! everything that one could reasonably
expect. Those desiring to see the city
as owner and operator of such a plant
believe that it would be a splendid in
vestment, that if the plant could make
profits for individuals or a corporation.
it could be made to do the same for
the city and that the city probably
would be in a position to make induce
ments to various manufacturers.
Many cities own and operate
their electric plants the same as they
do their water works. This question
has been agitated here for many years.
A long time ago Sam Y. Bryson after
completing a cours at the A. & M. col
lege at West Raleigh and doing con-
siderable work in the western states
came back home and finding trouble
and dissatisfaction with the small
plant here suggested to n of the al
dermen that the town should own and
operate the plant and place it on a
more satisfactory basis. Postmaster
Bryson, who retains the same convic-
ton, relates interestingly how this al
derman had a genuine municipal" fit
and really thought that Sam had be-
come mentally unbalanced for sug- ,
getting such a measure.
Better Organization.
A countrywide organization is want

complishment:
C. F. Bland wants conditions so that
everybody in town and t~hereabout a

Many Democrats May
Join Republicans In
The June Primaries

Bismarck. N. D.. May 1S.-Those
are interested in the question
may determine after June / whether
any large proportion of North Dakota
have registered as dem
ocrats, or vice versa, with a view to
the opposite party in nomin-
ating a ticket. Township assessors
throughout the state are registering
the voters while assessing their prop
erty, and their reports will be in by
the first of June. If any great amount
of switching is done, it is predicted
that it will be on the part Of independ-
democratic voters who wish to
have something to say about the re-
publican ticket. In North Dakota the
republican nomination has always
been equivalent to election, and it is
not anticipated that this year will
prove an exception to the rule. This
means that about 90 per cent of the
states electors. representing the dem
ocratic minority. will be practically
disenfranchised. so far as the actual
effect of their vote on the final result
is concerned, unless the ticket which
is defeated for the republican nominal
ton at the primaries should become
an independent contender for final
honors at the polls in November.

10000 ACRES
DELINQUENT DITCH
LANDS SOLD AT BEMIDJI'

Bemidji. MINI, May 17.-More than
so representatives. each representing,
several buyers. attended the sale Of
delinquent ditch lands under the Vol
stead act here Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday Of this week, the sale be-.
ing completed Wednesday afternoon.
About 100000 acres Of land were
offered for sale and about $50, 1000
acres were sold. The exact amount
sold will not be known for several
days, but several bookkeepers are
now at work at the court house en-
tering the sales in the county records.
ION account OF the large amount Of
land offered for sale, the bidding was
not spirited, as there was . large
amount Of land to select from, and
only on a few occasions were premi-
ums paid in addition to the regular
ditch taxes due on the land.
The sale this yea contained the
largest amour of ditch lands that
have ever been placed on the TAI
ket at one time in Beltrami county,
and it may be the largest ditch land
sale to " be made here. Although
there were only about SO representa-
tives attending the sale, they bought
by proxy for thousands throughout
the country. The lands are situated
north of Red Lake and have been
drained by judicial bitches.
