CITY BOYS
GET COMMISSIONED

DR.. E. A. Pray and Rector L.. G..

about their sons that have made them
feel justly. proud of them. Ralph
Pray and Earl Moultrie, who have
been attending the students army
training camp at Fort Sheridan, ILL.,,
for the past nine weeks, have done so
we'll that they have been commissioned
second lieutenants. Lieut.. Earl Moul-
trie has been assigned as instructor
at the Ohio State University and
Lieut.. Ralph Pray had not been as
signed up to the time word was re-
ceived here. Valley City boys have
been doing fine in obtaining commits
sions and these two latest ones we
feel sure will receive the hearty con-
gratulations of their many friends in
this city and Barnes county. They are
two of our best young men and the
Times-Decord editor is greatly pleased
at their advancement. DR.. Pray was
in this morning and was so proud over
Ralph's achievement that he threat
ened to 60 and get-a drink Of soda
water. Rev. Moultrie has been thresh-
ing and when he heard the news he
threatened to 60 on strike, but Hugh
Mcdonald grabbed him and Gained

A PROCLAMATION

The Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign
affords another opportunity for the
people Of North Dakota to again as
sist the National Government in its
prosecution of the war. Every drive
for funds to aid the various branches
of war work has been enthusiastically
met and subscribed to by our people,
and the opening of this campaign will
find them willing and eager to pur-
chase not merely their allotment, but
to oversubscribe as has been done in
the three preceding Liberty Loan
Campaigns.
In this work let each of US do what
we are called upon to do as quickly
and efficiently as the boys who are in
the active service perform the duties
assigned to them. This is our war.
and it is our army and our navy that
we are equipping and maintaining.
Hitherto it has been the custom to
continue the "drive" through several
weeks. but now the organization of
committees is so complete that this
work can be done in a single day.
For that purpose SATURDAY, SEP
TENDER 28th, is hereby set aside
for the solicitation and subscription
Of bonds and shall be designated LIB

communities which make the best rec
ord in obtaining subscriptions to the
Fourth Liberty Loan will have the
privilege either of naming one of the
ships being built for the government
or of naming a tank that is to par
ticipate in the western front fighting
Announcement Of the plan was
made tonight by the liberty loan pub
licity bureau. Mrs. Woodrow Will
son, wife of the president, who has
been naming the ships, has agreed to
allot 120 of the vessels for the pur-
pose of the national contest.
Each of the IL federal reserves dis
tricts will be assigned ten ships and
ten tanks, and the conditions Of the
contest within the district will be de-
termined by the reserve bank. These
may be based on total or proportion
ate subscriptions, size of per capita
purchase, or number of subscribers.
The only requirements is that the
tank or vessel shall be named after a
town, city, township or county.

A writer in the Minneapolis Journal
solves the gasoline problem very
nicely in our judgment. He says:
The elimination of Sunday driving
was requested to save gasoline. Ev-
cry automobile driver is willing to do
his share, but as the request now
stands, it hits only the moderate driv-
er. The man who uses gasoline ex-
travagantly is the man whose family
drives the car from morning till night.
His family and he care nothing about
the Sunday prohibition. He can take
any day in the week for his pleasure
trip, and he does. The man who is
tied to his work every day in the week
cannot afford gasoline for everyday
use, and, so his family waits to take
Sunday drive, so all may enjoy it..
A certain man may use 500 worth Of
gasoline a month. another may afford
$40 a month. Should the latter be
barred from using his bit, if Sunday
is the only day he can drive? There
is but one way to remedy this, and
that is to place gasoline on the same
basis as sugar and -four and make it
uniform from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc. No one in the entire country
would object to regulation, even if
thereby he were cut down to a few
gallons per month. But let the indi-
vidual use that little on any day he
chooses. If there is shortage, the
Sunday ruling will not relieve the sit
uation, because the economical driver
is hit by it and the extravagant one
drives harder than ever on every day
of the week.

Of a great number Of women Of all
ages recruited from all professions
and social ranks to make munitions.
They have worked on all summer in
hot factories, without vacations, be-
cause men in the trenches could not

group of college graduates are now
working in factories in New England.
They are learning to be managers.
Trained women are needed for this
work so a practical course was started
and another begins in October. Miss

very quickly with the demand for mu-

eminent. The clubs have reading,
writing and rest rooms, and Red Cross
work, gymnastic classes and sema-
phore work in the recreational hall.

AS TO MISS NELSON

The Fargo Courier-News is not stu
pid, but in matters political it is
"devilish sly" ia Alarmed by the in
creasing tide. Of public disfavor in
which Neil Mcdonald, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, finds
himself, the Courier-News lends itself
to the spreading of the silly pro-
paganda that has been launched
against McDonald's opponent, Miss
Minnie J. Nelson. The point in
ferentially made against Miss Mel
son is, that she has not graduated
from "any institution of rank" and
therefore is not "qualified" for the
position she seeks. This is the. n,er-
est balderdash. AS The Chronicle
pointed out last week, McDona] id is
welded to "sheepskins." To him a
certificate of graduation is an object
of excessive. devotion a school diplo-
ma is his fetch. But that very fact
shows how childish is his conception
of what education really means. It is
just possible that Neil Mcdonald is
aware Of the fact that Abrahom Lin
coin was a graduate of no school save
CIldC VI cApcIlcIlCc dIIu uoAu hIAOChS'
1t is not. possible that Neil Mcdonald
realizes that Lincoln was an educated
man in the best and most exact sense
of the word, because Mcdonald thinks
of education only in the sense of a
parchment wrapped in blue baby rib
bon. That's the kind of a bird we
have at the head Of the educational
system of this state. What we know
about Miss Nelson is that she has
studied text books in various schools
of learning; that she has been engag-
ed in educational work for years; that
she has served a nMnber of terms as
superintendent of schools Of Barnes
county, in which IS situated the lead
ing normal school of North Dakota.
We know that Miss Nelson is cultur-
ed; that she is refined; that she is
modest; that she has a broad and SYM
nathetic understanding of the educa-
tional needs of this state. In short,
that she is everything that Mcdonald
is not.-LaMoure Chronicle.

WAR RELICS TRAIN
HERE FRIDAY

After laying down barrage by the
long distance seige gun that has been
doing sentry duty in front of Com
pany G armory all summer, which
announced that the special war relics
train had left Sanborn, the boom of
the big gun gave warning to all to be
on hand, and by the time the train
reached the city limits thousands of
people had assembled to see the war
train. Just as the train came down
the hill into the city limits yesterday
afternoon the Russell Miller mill big
whistle broke into triumphant burst
of noise that was taken up by the 9TH
er whistles Of the city and the church
bells which rang out peans of victory
that would sound like the deathknell
of hope could Wilhelm Of Hohenzol-
lern, Ludendorf and Hindenburg hear
the racket. 1t was real optimistic
victory breathing noise like that of
the American troops which are being
heard all around the world. This spe-
cial train is being sent out by the gov
eminent to spread the gospel Of buy
ing Liberty Bonds to furnish the sin
ews Of war for helping the boys over
there to do the real work which is to
achieve victory to American arms and
to those of our allies in the greatest
justified war of all time. The crowd
was so large and the time allowed to
see the exhibit so short on account of
the push and surge of the big crowd
through the cars that real study
of the war relics could not be seen but

conceivable article used in warfare,
gas masks, bombs, hand grenades,
poison gas shells, aeroplane bombs
and relics of all kinds from the battle

form of the terrible carnage on the
battle fields of Europe and suggesting
very strongly the need Of billions of
dollars to buy all these things with as
we'll as to equip the millions of SOL
diers and feed them in foreign lands
that was the object lesson in this spe-
cial war train visiting our city and
sent out by the government to bring
home more forcefully the needs of
America and to instill into the hearts
of the people the great need for their
getting behind the government in the
purchase Of bombs, returned soldiers
who had gone through the Marine and
Chateau Thierry charge were here and
talked to the people from personal
experiences and their experiences told
were not calculated to work up much
sympathy for the Huns and their
blood thirsty and territory grabbing
allies. A big marine band furnished
music for some time and their play
ing was enjoyed. It took three hours
for the people to file through the spe-
cial train two by two so you can guess
that several thousand people were on
hand and when the train pulled out
after 5 o'clock they were still coming
and many had not seen the exhibit
For hours they stood in line patiently
awaiting their return, twenty-five ex-
ira policeman driving them ahead
through the cars in an effort to give
everybody chance to see the great
exhibit. The visit of this train Of war
relics and the words of the speakers
and veteran soldiers has done much to
start people thinking of the needs of
the boys in France and when the loan
drive starts up next Saturday we look
for it to go over the top with some to
spare and without any coaxing.

THIS IS THE
"M0THER'SLOAN''

He is member of the British Com
mission to this country, and he was
commenting on the achievements of
America in France.
"When the full story is told, it will
be one of the most inspiring records
of history" he said. "No one who has
not been there can imagine it. The
port where your troops land has been
transformed as if by miracle. Great
piers stretch out into the harbor;
lines of railroad, laid with American
rails by American engineers and trav-
eled by American locomotives, stretch
away toward the battle lines. Huge
houses cover the adjoining acres
for miles. I tell you, it is marvellous
what you have accomplished"
And then he added, in afterthought:
"You are pouring out money as if it
didn't cost anything" 80. -. -.
Pouring out money as if it didn't
cost anything-that is our record in
the war thus far. Our first year cost
US billions more than the first year of
any other nation. And now we are
asked to raise in three weeks the larg-
est loan ever subscribed by the people
of any nation.
We are running this war in the
most extravagant fashion; and there
is not man, woman or child in Amer
lea who wants it conducted in any
other way. Why? Because we value
speed more than money; and speed
is always extravaganza.
Speed means more guns brought
more quickly into play, and more am
munition to feed them. Speed means
ships built at high cost because of
overtime wages; it means airplane
plans discarded as fast as new i'm
provements come along. 1t means all
this-and we bear the cost Of it glad
ly, without regret. For speed means
a quicker, surer Victory, and our boys
earlier home again.
~ beat the Austrians because they
did not know the value Of five min
utes," said Napoleon. His rule for
victory was to be on the ground first
with the most guns. ~ owe all my
success in life to having been quar-
ter of an hour before my time" Lord
Nelson once remarked. His victories,
too, were victories of speed. ....
The cry of every American woman
to her Government today should be
"Spend money faster" Every ounce
of her thought and energy during the
three weeks dedicated to the Fourth
Liberty Loan should be employed in
arousing in her own household and the
household of her neighbors an eager
ness to lend every possible penny and
to lend it quickly.
Thus the fourth Liberty Loan may
become message of far-hung en-
couragement to our boys across the
seas; message of unpleasant au-
curry to their foes. For every bulle-
tin Of the mounting millions will cry
out in tones unmistakable:
eve are raising a greater fund than
men and women have ever raised. We
are raising it in three weeks, when
smaller loans have taken four. Mon
ey, is nothing to us-we sacrifice it
gladly for the sake of speed. For the
sake of quicker victory, and the re-
turn to our boys to their homes"
In the spirit of that message let US
face the greatst loan in history: a
loan too large to be subscribed by
banks and business houses-so large
that it must come out of the little
economies of women. A Mother s
Loan-a cry from the heart Of Ameri-
can womanhood for Speed.

It is estimated that 101 per cent
registered for military service last
Thursday-America's greatest regis
tration day. This will bring the to-
tai up to over thirteen million men
and when the news reaches the sick
man of Berlin he will be a burned
sight sicker. In yesterdays dis
patches it was stated that the kaiser
was suffering from a severe. nervous
breakdown. It is barely possible that
Provost Marshal Crowder had sent
him a statement concerning the regis
tration of last Thursday and it had
caused this nervousness. Here's hop
inr that instead of getting better he
will get worse. He has been the
means of causing many breakdowns in
Europe through his bloodthirsty greed
for power and the deaths of hundreds
and thousands of women and babies
have been caused through his selfish
ness and greed to say nothing of the
millions. of lives lost on the battle
fields of Europe and more yet to die.
If there is any chance to make the
kaiser do some real mental suffering
let him get it good and plenty.
