VILLAGE ALREADY SUBSCRIBE
ED $4,000 OF QUOTA OF
$4,000 BEFORE DRIVE

That the Thrift Stamp committee
of Morgan will have little or moth
ing to do is the worry today of j.
C. Jackson, banker of the village.
Mn. Jackson's fear is based on the
fact that Morgan, with a stamp al
lotment of $13,34O has already sub
scribed $12,OOO-and the drive is not
to start until Thursday! Practically
everyone who has signed the accept
ance has subscribed for. an amount
larger than his allotment and the
subscriptions are being made volun-
tarily, indicative Of the time when
the citizens of Redwood county will
no longer need committees or solicit
tors but will themselves take care
of the matter of collections for war
fund purposes.
Morgan has done splendidly in ev.
cry Embarrassing project, going over
the top in the liberty bond sale, the
Red Cross drive, being near the head
of the list per capita in all former
Thrift Stamp work.

LOTTMENTS FOR THRIFT

The local Thrift Stamp committee,
consisting Of C. A. Luscher, chair
man, Frank Clague,. H. A. Baldwin,
J. P. Cooper, R. Stensvad, l.. C. Stu
art and w. H. Gold, has allotted the

ing raised by the government. Every
individual will receive notice by mail
as TO the amount of his allotment.
Each member, of the committee has
a full list of the allottments and the

see them.
Each individual taking part in this
allotment is expected to call at the
armory Friday, June Z, and sign an
acceptance. All payments will he
made through the local postoffice.
The Thrift Stamp campaign is a
campaign for very laudable purpose
and one in which every loyal citizen
is not only expected but is anxious,
to do his share. These allottments
are payable monthly and will not
prove a drain upon the resources Of
any individual receiving the allott-
| ment. AS an investment the stamps
are past question and funds saved
in this way prove the veritable bread
cast upon the water. The committee
is asking all citizens to take care of
their share of this amount not later
than Friday and to thus further the
work of the government in raising
necessary war funds.

Alien Enemy Taken

Frank Peters, who has been roam
ing all over this country and Mexico,
since the opening of the European
war in 1914, will roam no more. He
was shipped to New Uka by labor
contractors from st. Paul and was
looking for a place to sleep last Fri
day evening. He found it at the
county jail. Later upon being ques-
toned. he said he was a native Of
Switzerland. but later confessed he
was a German, and had been on
board one of the German ships ct
Baltimore at the opening of the war,
when it was interned. He has been
wandering since that time. He was
rather surly and gruff. and seemed
not to be greatly interested in what
occurred to him. He stated he had
been in the habit of claiming he was
a Swiss because he did not desire to
be informed. He did not put up
very good showing as native of
that country and Deputy Sheriff
Jahnke suspected all was not right
with him and piled him with ques-
tions until he finally confessed he
was a citizen of Germany. He will
be interned until the end of the war.

J THE AMERICAN FLAG
y (By Larry Ho)

1t is no fabric of silk or bunt-
ing-no mere beautiful cloth
woven by human hands. 1t is
a living thing, pulsing with the
throbbing .'ardours of human
ity, glowing with the fervor of
immortal hopes, leaping out in
extacies of love and dream. It
is a song--the song Of upward
looking men. 1t is an altar
fragrant with sacrifice. 1t is
garden wherefron a nation
grew, watered by the pure
blood of heroes. It is a Hea-
ven wherein the sanctified are
gathered. 1t is the Home where
freemen dwell. 1t is the bat
tlefeld wherein Honor strikes
its blow for the cause of God.
It is a flame springing up to
consume injustice and wither
the hosts Of wrong. It is a
voice that speaks with the elo-
quence of graves where sleep
those who died to make it mean
Purity and Righteousness. He
who looks upon the Flag with
ransomed eyes beholds within
it's folds the valor and the faith
Of Lexington and Gettysburg
the blazing eyes of embattled
farmers at Concord Bridge
the fierce splendours Of the
ocean that was the cradle of
Paul Jones-the clarion death
cry above the ruined Alamo
the prayer Of Washington at
Valley Forge-the agony of
Lincoln as he paced the mid
night hours-and, browning all,
the wind-swept faces of boys
who die today along the thun-
der mitten hills Of France.
The Flag of the United States
is the Glory Of God shining in
the faces Of those who dream
of world made clean enough
to be the dwelling-place of God.
1t turns our sorrows into ex-
ultation and our sacrifices into
melody of service. For such a
Flag true men will always
gladly die-for such a Flag
good men will always live.
