WORK OR FIGHT

Hundreds of Minot business men
turned out during the past few weeks
and assisted the farmers to shock
their grain, thus saving the crop.
They did this as their patriotic duty
and not to help any particular farm
err. What money they have received
has been turned over to the Red Cross.
A man whose business carries him
about the city each day, informs the
writer that there are no fewer than
six places where whiskey, and a
mighty poor grade it is too, can be
bought in This city. A number of
laborers from the threshing rigs have
been found in the city in an intoxi-
Gated condition, evidently from the
effects of the booze which they were
able to procure for six dollars a quart.
These drunken men are not able to
work until they are over their spree
which usually lasts several days. The
business men who have gone into the
harvest fields, leaving their own work,
are up in the air over this state Of

Farmers of Ward county last spring
secured many thousands of dollars
worth Of seed and feed from the coun-
ty, and unfortunately they have not
harvested a bountiful crop. Nearly
every farmer has grown plenty of
feed, but after paying for the thresh-
ing, the expense of planting and har-
vesting the crop, they will not have
much left to pay for the seed and the
feed. Each farmer ought to be able
to keep sufficient amount of seed
and feed on hand, for long winter
is at hand and the stock must be car
ried thru. And then, another plant
ing season is coming and if each farm
er has his seed safe in his granary,
he will feel a great deal more like
going ahead with another crop. The
Ward county commissioners should
call a special meeting and take this
matter up at once. The county can
afford to be lenient with the farmers
at this time. Conditions are not
normal. Crops have been poor for
the past three years. We are going
to harvest bumper crops again-most
likely in 1919 and farmers must re-
ceive plenty Of encouragement. The
county liens will hold good on next
years crop just the same and the
county is not apt to suffer any finan-
cial loss by not enforcing payment
this fall.

nized as one of the ablest editorial
writer's in the country. Since the
purchase of the Washington Times,
as it's editor, Brisbane has strongly
opposed national prohibition OF the
manufacture and sale of beer and
wines. He has written a great many
subtle and forceful editorials against
prohibition and against war profteer-
ing. His editorials have been given
wide circulation by the brewing in
terests of the country and by those
secretly opposed to our nations war
program and DESTROYS Of stirring up
class discussions in this country. The
unmasking of the brewers interest in
the Washington Times places Bris-
bane in the spotlight where the pub
lie can clearly see what influences in
spired many Of his brilliant editorials.

WASHINGTON TIMES UNMAsKED

WASHINGTON TIMES UNMASKED
One of the biggest sensations that
has occurred in Washington for some
time was caused by the disclosures
pertaining to the purchase of the
Washington Times made this week by
A. Mitchell Palmer, Alien Property
Custodian of the United States. In
response to Senate Resolution, Mr..
Palmer, who was for many years q
member Of Congress from Pennsyl-
vanla, submitted a large amount of
documentary evidence to the Senate,
showing that fifteen German and Ger
man-American brewers, some of whom
We're closely allied with furthering in
sidious German propaganda in this
country, supplied to Arthur Brisbane
more than $400,O00.OO in cash to fin
ance the purchase of the Washington
Times two years ago when Brisbane
publicly announced that he had pur-
chased the Washington Times on his
own account, so that he might have a
paper of his own and be independent
from Mr.. Hearst and his papers. Ar

The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign

The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign
proper will start Monday morning
next at nine o'clock. Minot must
subscribe quarter Of million dol
lars. The city chairman, r. M. Gra-
ham, hopes that the work can be
wound up in one day, altho we will
have to the night Of October 3 to COM
plete the work Each citizen can as
sist the committee by remaining at his
place of business until the committee
calls on him. Or better still, don't
wait till the committee calls, but call
at your bank and leave your subscrip-
ton. The men who form these COM
mittees are all busily engaged with
their own affairs and it would be a
fine thing if the work could be COM
pleted in the one day. One should not
figure that he is doing the committee
any favor by subscribing. One is
really under obligation to the commit
tee for calling on him. The man
who subscribes to this loan is doing
himself a greater favor even than
Uncle Sam. Many person who has
subscribed in the previous loans now
has some money saved up that he
would have spent for other purposes,
and some of them foolish purposes
too, had it not been for this incentive
to save. Investing in liberty bonds
is good habit and it does no one any
harm if he has to clean up an old suit
of clothes and wear it, or smoke pipe
instead of cigars, in order to meet
the requirements of the loan. It's
such a little sacrifice after all. The
government very wisely insists on re-
ceiving ten percent of the loan with
the subscription. This gives one a
good reason for meeting the future
whereas too many loans are
allowed to lapse where the first pay
ment is very small.

CONCERNING SUBSCRIPTIONS

CONCERNING SUBSCRIPTIONS
In another section of this issue
the Independent is publishing the of.
fetal Instructions just received from
Thomas E. Donnelly, chief pulp and
paper section of the war department
relative to newspapers. A sworn
statement concerning the compliance
of these rules is required from each
publisher on November 1. The Inde-
pendent must comply with each of
these rules and the one that concerns
our readers most is the following:
No publisher may continue SUBJ
scriptions after three months after
date Of expiration, unless subscrip-
lions are renewed and paid for.
The Independent has sent out no.
tees to those who are not paid in adj
vance and a large number have al
ready complied with our request to
pay their subscriptions in advance.
This rule has to be enforced because
it is war order. Its fair PROPOSE
ton anyway-fair to the subscriber
and fair to the publisher.
The Independent hopes that all of
it's subscribers who are in arrears will
attend to this matter right away, for
you do not want to miss a single is
sue and we do not want you to.

The United States government has
given it's promise to the relatives of
those who die on the field of battle in
France, to return the bodies of the
brave lads to. their old homes for
burial if this be desired. While our
casualties have not been very heavy,
compared to those Of our allies, yet
if the war lasts many months, the
government will have big task on its
hands. 1t may take years to accom-
plish this feat, but it must be con-
soling to the loved ones here at home
to know that if they so desire, the
remains of their soldier lads will be
returned.

selves as we'll as for the members of

carefully before bringing in their
papers to be filled out. There are so
many who are unable to give ready

of the American troops to get into ac-

To the American troops training In

who refuse to talk when captured"
he said. These however, are so few
that no attempt is made to induce
them to talk. The rest of them are
more than willing to talk. 1t has al
ways been a problem of psychology
as to just why prisoners of war are
willing to talk. but it is a fact that
much valuable information concerning
the personnel of the enemy in front
of our soldiers is obtained from pris-
oners."
A great deal of valuable information
is obtained in night raids on enemy
trenches. and it is on those raids that
prisoners are frequently captured, he
said.
Pershing's Men Fully Equipped.
That Gen. Pershing's men in France
are fully equipped was the assertion
Of Gen. Bell.
so far as I know" he said, Gen.
Pershing's command is fully and COM
pletely equipped. I think there has
been some misapprehension concerning
certain equipment. At the beginning
of our entrance into the war the
French government agreed to furnish
certain field artillery, and since then
they have furnished certain other
equipment by agreement"
There was a shortage of horses at
first, and later there was a need for
motor trucks. Maj Bell said but since
then that shortage has been met.
The highest praise of the American
morale in France was given by Gen.
Bell.
THE morale of all our troops is most
excellent" he said. There has not
been the slightest fear of the Germans
expressed by any one belonging to the
Army. In fact. the morale is highest
the nearer one gets to the front line.
The only pessimism l have heard ex-
pressed came from non-combatants
who did not seem to realize that no war
ever was fought out under perfect con-
ditionS."
