MINOT MUSICIANS IN
ENJOYABLE RECITAL
Miss Anna Teigen's Class Assisted by
Miss Doris kemper and Miss AM
anda Hamre Please Large Aud
fence.

Those who were fortunate enough
to receive cards for the piano recital
which Miss Anna Teigen's pupils gave
last Monday evening in the Presby-
terrain church, will long be grateful
to her and to her pupils for musical
treat such as is offered in Minot all
too seldom.
The program, which offered its diff
ficulties to pianists far beyond the
years Of the ten young people taking
part in it, had no notably weak spots
and was so enthusiastically received
by the audience that one wonders why
Minot is so flooded some seasons with
offerings of third-rate concert tourists
when her own limits hold talent
superior and more appreciated.
The opening number was piano
8 hand arrangement of the familiar
Tannhauser March, played by the
Misses Maxine Stewart, Gradys Taft,
Beulah Mowers and Florence Rich
mond. It was given clear cut distinct
phrasing and accurate ensemble work
and was free Of any blurred passages
so frequent in amateur 8 hand per-
formances. The same is true of a 6
hand arrangement of Wollenhaupt's
Polka Brilliante, played by Messrs.
Maurice Johnson, Harlow Samuelson
and Floyd Richmond. This trio are
younger players but their work prom
Uses fine development from the foun-
dation they are laying.
The solo numbers began with Lacks
Saltarelle Caprice, given by Jonathan
Blaisdell. He can hardly be too high
ly praised for his sound mastery of
many passages and his way of bring
ing out clean the value of every note.
His standard is not often attained by
one Of his years and the encore de-
manded was real tribute to his abil-
ity. He responded with "The Star
Spangled Banner"
Felton's Second Valse and New
lands Valse Caprice played by Miss
Gladys Taft and Miss Ethel johnson
respectively are compositions of much
the same style and require of the
player careful pedaling, clear-cut fin
ger action and even control of tone
quality. Miss Taft and Miss Johnson
met those requirements perfectly and
added to them brilliant swinging in
depreciation. Unfortunately neither
young lady responded to insistent en-
cores. We would have liked to hear
much more of their work.
Rachmannoff's Prelude in C-sharp
Minor was given by Donald Drummer.
It is said to be the composers effort
to picture the mood Of Russian ex-
lie as he is marched along by his SOL
der guards over the frozen plains of
Siberia to the prison mine, which he
knows will also be his tomb. The
leading theme is wild despair, smoth-
cred at first but breaking out in an
abandon Of grief at the close. It was
in this last passage that Donald Brun-
ner was at his best. The chords
matched against the insistent theme
were powerful and deep and the close

vincingly as she always does. Any
program which features her, has add
ed charm. Miss Hamre's pipe-organ
work with Miss Teigen at the piano
made the familiar Faust airs more
than usually good to hear. 1t would
be fortunate if Miss Hamre could be
heard here oftener.
Everyone interested in the young
people who gave so excellnt a pro-
gram and veryone who hopes for more
and better music in the city, must feel
that no appreciation Of Miss Teigen's
ability can quite do justice to the un-
firing effort and to the results which
her pupils produced. It would be a
splendid thing if we could look for
ward to such a recital annually, or az
fast as her pupils progress to the re-
cital point.

Notice to The Connecticut Power
Company Customers

The Connecticut Power Company
has in the past decreased it's rates
whenever it was possible to- do so,
and in spite of the great advance in
the cost of coal, labor, materials and
taxes which has occurred during the
past two years, has withheld any gen.
eral rate increase. These increased
costs have, however, now reached the
point where it is imperative that they
should be borne in part by the con-
sumner.
Therefore, beginning September
20, 1918, the rates for lighting ser
vice will be increased 1c per kilo-
watt-hour and all other rates cores
pondingly.
1t is particularly called to the at
tention of customers that this in
crease is only a necessary measure
caused by war cnditions and that the
rates will again be reduced as
promptly as operating conditions will
permit of such action being taken.

WHY BONDS FLUcTUATE

Fluctuation in the current price of
Liberty Bonds, so bothersome to the
person who is unaccustomed to bonds,
should not alarm them as 1t in no way
affects the real value of the bonds
Bonds are like other commodities,
prices go up and down according to
demand and supply. There are now
more sellers than buyers because
those who wish more bonds are patri-
otically saving their money to buy
from the Government when the next
loan is offered, and those who have
been unable to pay for their bonds, or
for other reasons have been compelled
to sell them, are offering them for sale.
The result is a current market below
par.
This should not disturb bond-hold-
ers or raise any question as to the real
value of the bonds. They will be paid
for by the Government at the full face
amount when due, and in the mean
time, interest will be paid promptly so
that the bonds form an ideal invest
ment

WHAT THE LIBERTY BOND DOES

Having bought Liberty Bonds most
purchasers would like to know in what
particular way the money they have so
gladly given is to be expended in the
conduct Of the great war that has en-
quilted the world. In response to this
silent appeal the War Department of
the United States Government has
computed the cost of various things
and just what bonds of different de-
nominations will do. Five hundred
$1000-bonds, for instance, will buy an
amount Of powder equal to the output
for one day of one of the Government
powder plants while one $50-bond will
provide one soldier in the American
Expeditionary Forces with food for
practically four months or exactly 116
days and a tiny fraction over.
One $1,000 bond will provide one 16-
inch shell, ready to fire; or smokeless
powder enough to propel three 16-inch
coast shells and T. N. T. enough to
burst so three-inch Stokes Mortar
shells. Six $100-bonds will provide 10
airplane flares or so three-inch shells.
One $500-bond will provide two ma
chine guns or 800 steel helmets. Two
500 and one $50-bond will purchase
meat cans for two soldier companies,
or bacon cans for four soldier compa-
MES, or 300 intrenching shovels.

Fighting Fourth Liberty Loan
Facts and Figures
WHERE The MONEY
CONES FROM

Where does all the money come
from to carry on this stupendous
war? The question is a commop ors
but the facts ara assuring. There is
in reality, more gold In this country
today. than there was before the war;
and certainly there h much more pa
per money.
According to q statement from
Washington there Is more actual
money, gold, silver and paper cur
rency in circulation now than ut any
previous time In the Nations history,
and there is a bigger share for every
man, woman and child.
In brief, II is wealth, or goods, in
some form which has been destroyed.
The cost Of the war Is, largely repre-
sented by the destruction Of goods, re-
ferable to money only as a means of
recording their value, and that money.
in this sense, plays q role secondary
to goods. 1t Is the quantity of goods
demanded by war which forms the
real economic expense of this terrible
struggle. Money remains; goods are
destroyed. The war Is really being
carried on by credit.
A United States Treasury report on
August Is showed $3.50, 900, 900 In cir
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. more than
year ago and SITS, 200, 900 more than a
month previous, making an average OF
S52.44 for each person.
These figures on the stock of money
bear little relation to the nations &C
tual wealth or to its credit resources,
since these amount to many times the
actual money available
The ability of the government to
borrow and to obtain enormous sums
of purchasing power over goods need
ed in the war, thus depends not only
on the wealth of the country, but also
upon its sound finance and the skilled
mobilization of its resources. That
the finances of the United States are
sound, the mobilization of it's re-
sources skilled and the confidence of
its people in them absolute, is more
than proved by the rapidity and eager
ness with which it's three Liberty
Loans have been over subscribed.
That the Fighting Fourth, about to
be launched, will meet with an equal
response cannot be doubted by any
one who knows the spirit Of the Amer
lean people.

MONEY is MADE TO FIGHT

With a fine spirit of patriotism DR.
James o. Ely Of Winnetka. Ill, father
of Lieut.. Dinsmore Ely who died from
injuries received in action, gave the
proceeds Of his sons life, insurance
policy of $4,000 for the purchase of Lib
erty Bonds. This in sense, doubles
his sons help to the cause to which
his life had been dedicated. Even in
death his work goes on, fighting in the
cause he loved.
Lieut.. Ely had an aeronautic career
replete with hairbreadth escapes and
was cited for extreme bravery in van
gushing German plane in his first
fight in Picardy.

THE SIX ISSUES OF LIBERTY
BONDS

Three Liberty Loans and six issues
of Liberty bonds, so easily understood
by the financier, need little explana-
ton to those patriotic citizens who are
just beginning to place their savings
in Government bonds. The Govern
ment has sold three issues of bonds,
the First Liberty Loan 31a% bonds,
the Second Liberty 40 bonds, and the
Third Liberty loan Az 90 bonds. The
first and second issues were made con-
vertible into those that followed ION
terms stated within). When the First
315s and Second As are converted into
higher interest rate bonds the bonds
received bear the appellation First"
or Second" of the bonds converted
and are like them in respect to due
date and redemption conditions.
Otherwise they are like the issues into
which they are converted, that Is, as
to interest rates, issue dates, and con-
version and tax exemption privileges.
Thus a First 4 means a 40 bond con-
verted from a First 31a. In this way
there are now six issues of Liberty
bonds, three original and three con-
verified issues.

BUYING BONDS
is NOW A HABIT

To buy a Liberty Bond has become
O habit with the people Of the United
States, q growing habit, and no one Is
complaining. This is proven By the
figures.
On May 2, 1917, the First Liberty
Loan was announced and the cam
paign began one month later. Two
billion dollars In 3h% bonds were Of
fered and brought four and one half
million subscribers. The subscrip-
tions amounted in all to more than
three billion dollars, Of which only
two billion were allotted. The out
standing feature of this first loan was
the prom ptness with which 1t was ar
ranged and conducted, Taking only
two weeks to be formed and selling to
four and one half million people
where only 100000 people were habit
ual purchasers of bonds, presents al
most a miracle in finance.
To the Second Liberty Loan, offered
for sale Oct /, 1917 and closed Oct 81,
1917, there were nine million subscrib-
ers and the amount subscribed was
$4,617 ,532, 900. Only $3,S0S, 766, $50
was allotted. The outstanding feature
of this campaign was the important
part which labor, fraternal organiza-
tons and the women of the country
had in it.
The Third Liberty Loan campaign
was inaugurated on April s, 1918, the
anniversary of the entrance Of this
country into the war. Three billion
dollars were offered. About seventeen
million people subscribed $4,170,109,-
$50, all of which was allotted. This
campaign was made notable by its
wide distribution among the people
and the large response made to it by
the rural districts.
The newest loan, the Fighting
Fourth, is to be placed on sale Sept.
IS. The sale will close Oct. 10, pc
riod of but three weeks. Within that
time it will be necessary to sell a very
much larger volume of bonds than was
sold in any Of the three preceding
campaigns. The amount of bonds to
be offered has not been officially an
nounced but because of smaller de-
mands being made upon us to finance
our Allies not more than Ave billions
may be offered.
However, 1t is certain that the
amount offered for sale will mark the
Fourth Loan as one of the greatest
pieces Of governmental financing that
the world has ever known. II only
five billion dollars of the Fourth Lib
erty Loan are offered for sale and are
disposed of within three weeks, it will
be the largest offering ever made by
any government and subscribed to in
so short time
The new loan is "The Fighting
Fourth, a title that has been adopted
for it by the Publicity Committee of
IL.
in France has begun to take it's stride
and additions to the army from now
on will show in a growing degree the
fighting spirit manifested up to the
present time. The people of the United
States, the stay-at-homes, in subscrib.
ing to the Fighting Fourth Liberty
Loan are simply keeping step to the
same tune which is animating our SOL
diers and sailors and airmen.

CONVERSION OF LIBERTY BONDS

1t is often asked by owners of Lib
erty Bonds if it is wise to convert
their first and second issues into high
er interest rate bonds. To them
it should be said that the First 3hs
are completely tax exempt and conse-
quent!y there is a demand for them by
presons subject to high rates of addi-
tional taxes. This demand has caused
them to sell higher in the market than
the other issues. They therefore
should not be converted, but persons
with ordinary incomes will probably
find it advantageous to sell them and
purchase 4 "a s. 1t would seem gener-
ally advantageous to exchange the is
for AS. This can be done only be-
fore Nov. 8, 1918. .Mcst banks will at

W. C. C. SIS WORK
FOR NEGRO SOLDIERS
twenty-five Towns and Many
Churches Cooperating - Ten
Club Houses Already Built and
Seven More Are Now Under
Way.

For some reason a negro soldier
some than any one else in the world.
For the love of heaven let's think of
something we can do for himW The
speaker was a War Camp Community
ing camps months ago. Where his
eyes then saw bare stretch Of prairie,
with disconsOlate looking negroes scat
tered here and there. now stands spe-
cial club for them under the auspices
Of the War Camp Community Service.
Early In our present war history the
need for special recreation centcrs for
the negro troops in training camps be-
came apparent all over the country.
This need the War Camp Community
Service saw, and as a result there are
today ten clubs for these men in as
many camp communities. There are
seven more under way, while Newport
News Is planning her second. The in
terest of both white and colored ele-
ments in the communities near the
camps has been aroused, and twenty
five towns now have special commit
tees to carry on activities for the ne
gro in uniform. Cooperating with the
War Camp Community Service colored
churches in many camp cities have
opened rest rooms for the negro SOL
diers when in town on leave.
When one considers the tremendous
number of negroes in service (the to-
tai called in the draft for five days in
June was 300,OOO) and that these men
are leaving homes and families all
| over the United States to go to strange
camps for their training special atten-
| ton to their needs in the margin Of
time from camp duties seems decided
ly essential. There is good reason for
the negro soldier or sailor to look
lonesOmer than any one in all the
world If there Is no provision made
! for his comfort in hours off duty
The largest of the negro War Camp
Community Service clubs are located
at Des Moines, Ia; Battle Creek,
Mich. Louisville, KY. .ChillicOthe, O. ;
Petersburg, Va, and Newport News,
Va. In each one facilities similar to
those found in clubs for enlisted white
| lnon are dNdlldDlc. ALSO IIeEc Is every
encouragement for the negroes native
musical gifts, and community sings,
with banjo accompanies, are featured
in all the clubs.
Nowhere is the finer community spir-
it which will result from war work in
camp cities better illustrated than In
the work now being done all over the
country for the negroes Much of it is
done by the cooperation of white and
colored people Jointly interested in the
projects. And as for the results with
the negro soldiers themselves a re-
mark of one guest at the Negro Army
Club at Des Moines is eloquent. He
| had just had a refreshing shower fol-
lowing game Of pool and was then in
vited to the club dance.
."Gollyl' was his comment. "Why
didn't some one start this war be-
forvf'
