necessary to bring the state up to
strong point of efficiency for

enthusiastic patriotic sentiment.
Minnesotans are sure to study
the matter carefully before they
go on record as being opposed to
any public man who has done his
full official and patriotic duty
and to register such fact before
a critical world. Our state is en-
Enthusiastically supporting, as a
whole, any man or measure that

QUEER FREAK OF LIGHTNING
Unusual Happening Reported From
New York 10 Worthy 70 Be
Placed on Record.

During q recent thunderstorm in
New York state surprise and won
der were caused in a certain home by
an unusual accident that accom-
panied a sharp bolt Of lightning, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
latter struck very close to the house
in question, causing the telephone to
"snap" so that those in the room
heard it distinctly. Following this
report a glass dish containing some
steel beads, standing on table about
twelve feet from the telephone,
broke into pieces, scattering the
beads on the floor. The apparent ex-
PLANTATION for the phenomenon is that
when the lightning caused the spark
at the telephone there was a dis
charge Of electricity into the room
and that the beads, being Of polished
steel with numerous sharp edges, Of
fered a path Of least resistance to
the discharge, which, seeking .
ground, burst the dish.

the Red Cross drive that is now

an over-subscription will be re-
corded in every county.
By buying bonds and contri-
buting to any branch OF war ac-
tivity is not a determining factor
as to any mans 100 per cent
loyalty or patriotism. The guam.

exert himself in that respect is
only an indication that he has at
least financial interest in the
government and the success of
the war.
Minnesotans will have occasion
to test their loyalty and patriot
ism aside from the financial as
pect Of the matter. They will be
obliged to give up many personal,
social and political preferences
in their effort to back up the gov
eminent; also to encourage those
in our state who have taken a
leading and commanding part in
making out state ready and eff
ficient for the war, and in pro-
noting loyalty and patriotism.

School NeiohborIiness.

In the city of New York, IA of the
large public schools have been made
into community centers. Roller-skat-
ing Kinks, employment bureaus, social
clubs, reading rooms, lecture halls and
gymnasiums, are some of the features
of these centers. And all their attrac-
tons are not for young folks alone.
The mothers have their clubs where
they listen to experts on all subjects of
home interest, and where they ex-
change with each other views on COM
mon problems, personal experiences
and friendship. This movement for
neighborliness has become widespread,
and in many cities the new school
houses are being designed with partic-
ular attention to their prospective use
as centers of the cs,nmunity.

Several of the states are taking
the anti-loafing laws much in ear
nest. They are putting the rich
to work along with the poor and
it must be said that all classes are
meeting the demands, the capital
list as well as the hobo. In Balti-
more last week descendant of
President Madison was arrested.
He was the former head Of a big
banking and brokerage business
and his only vocation seemed to
be playing golf. He was hailed
into court and asked to show
cause why he should not be pun
ished as a "loafer." The pri-
soner took the matter seriously
and at once showed the court that
he had been trying to get into
some branch of government war
service.

THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN

he ld1hO L16GNIx AOAN
The campaign for the Third
Liberty Loan has closed with
some 100000 Americans pur-
chasing about $4,O00,000,O0O of
bonds.
Hundreds of thousands Of in
dividual citizens, thousands of
corporations and associations, and
practically every newspaper and
bank in the country gave liber-
ally of their time, space, effort,
and money to make the loan a
success. The response of the peo-
pie of the country was common
surate with the appeal made to
them.
One great feature Of the loan
is its wide distribution. The far
mers of the country, the people
living in rural communities, in
the small towns and villages, not
only subscribed literally to the
loan but subscribed promptly.
In fact, to a very great extent
rural communities were earlier in
making up their quotas than the
larger cities. Secretary McAdoo
well calls this wide distribution
of the loan among the people the
soundest financing in the world.
The sale of the Liberty Loan
Bonds us only one-half of the
transaction. The Government in
selling the bonds is collecting
money from the people. From
now on until the bonds are finally
called in and paid for the Gov
eminent will be disbursing money
to the people. It is going to be
of incalculable benefit not only
to the individual bondholders but
to the country at large that these
annual interest payments and the
final payment of the bonds are
among the body of the people,
not paid only to large financial
institutions, nor paid in large
amounts to the dwellers in cities,
nor paid to banks and other cor
porations, but paid to individual
citizens, the rank and file of the
American people.
The Liberty Loan is going to
prove a great national blessing to
the Nation and to the people Of
the Nation. Through it is to be
