EDITORIAL

Remarks by G. HI. Baxter at the Meeting of the
Grant County Executive Committee in
Lancaster, March 9th, 1918
Ladies and Gentlemen:
1t is pleasure, very great pleasure indeed,
to meet you here today, representing as you do
the old county of Grant, a county that we all love
and for whose peace, prosperity and happiness we
are all giving the very best that is in us Of body
mind and spirit.
This is indeed great occasion that brings us
together; we are charged with the grave and re-
sponsibe duty Of furnishing the Government
money to finance the war and are expected to
sell to the loyal and patriotic people of Grant
county their quota of the third Liberty Loan
Bonds
We must do this in order to feed and clothe,
arm and equip a million and half Of men in the
field; furnish fifty thousand planes for the air
and thousands of ships for the sea also finance
our Allies across the water.
This will take twenty billion of dollars year,
almost as much money as the Government has
spent for all purposes in the last hundred years.
The veal or woe, not only for our own country
but the world, depends on our success.
This call will probably be for five billion of dol
lars and if so, Grant countys allotment will reach
TWO ull1lOu.
On the sixth Of April you are expected to eco
over the top" and sell to the people of your city,
village and town their allotment of these Bonds
This is stupendous undertaking and will tax
all your resources of mind and body-enthusi-
asm, energy, persistence and especially courage.
In this drive we cannot do any pussy footing
around the county, fearful lest we hurt some
ones feelings.
The people must be made to realize that this
war is their war; that the boys "over there are
fighting their battles for them; for their lives
and their property, and if they fail the Huns
will come over and take what they please. If
they do not take this Bond-the best investment
in the world-in the end they will be taxed to
make up the amount.
You were selected as members of this Execu-
tive Committee because | had faith to believe
that you were the best men and women in Grant
county to do this work.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1918-04-17

Tor us to solve here today.
| have faith to believe that you will and that
all these forces combined, each and every loyal
patriotic American doing his best, will at last
bring victory to our Arms.
Then, when that happy day comes and not till
then, we beat our swords into pillow shares
and sit down under our vine and fig tree and
none to modest and make afraid.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1918-04-17

He is truest to his party who endows his party
with the self-sacrifcing spirit of patriotism.

MARY P|CKFORD AT
 STRAND THEATRE
Popular Star Will Be Seen in Aircraft Picture, "How
 Could You, Jean?"

Mary Pickford's many admirers will find her new Aircraft picture, How Could You, Jean?" which will be shown at the Strand theatre tomorrow. Tues day and Wednesday,. one of the vehicles in which she has been seen since 'Re- becca of Sunnybrook Farm" This charming photoplay is based upon the novel of the same name by Eleanor
 Hoyt Brainerd and emphasized the fact that even aristocratic young wom- en, when impoverished will find them selves equal to every requirement im-
 posed upon them by their new environ- ment.
 Jean becomes cook in literary
 family living in the country, and her
 leisure hours are devoted largely to repelling the unwelcome affection of Oscar, a house servant, and to confid- ing her petty troubles to Henrietta, the SOW. She meets Ted Burton, the son of a grouchy millionaire, who falls in love with her and when he learns that Jean is a cook in the Bonner household, he bribes Oscar to resign his position while he takes his place as hired man. There are numerous thrilling incidents and many pretty bucolic scenes, which attend their courtship, and when both come to a realization of their own masquerades, they find happiness in their mutual love.

He wins the love of the girl and sue eeeds in making himself leader in the community.
 In the portrayal of subtle roles, there are few actresses in motion pictures better qualified for this line of en- deavor than Elsie Ferguson, the popu- lar Aircraft star. who will be seen here in a splendid picturization of Hen rik Ibsen's famous psychological play. "A Dolls House." which will be shown at the Colonial theatre, beginning Tuesday

THE BELGIAN Al
 ALCAzAR THEATRE

A story that will appeal to men and women of all ages is The Belgian" Sidney OIcott's stupendous visualiza- tion of the tragedy of Belgium, which will be shown at the Alcazar theatre this week.
 The story opens in Belgium just be- fore the terrible mailed fist descends upon the peaceful nation and crushes out the fife of the country. One of the artistic touches with which the picture abounds is the shadow of cross show ing Belgium crucified and the heel of the Hun about to tramp1e her under foot.
 Jeanne Destree and Victor Morenne, portrayed respectively by Valentine Grant sand Walker Whiteside, are be- trothed, but when great sculptor dis covers Victor and offers to take him to Paris Jeanne offers her little sav- ings to help him defray his expenses so that he, too. may become a great sculptor.
 And so he goes away and forgets Jeanne and loves the Countess de Vries. Then comes the war, and there are some stupendous scenes which show the pitiful call to arms and the handful of gentle Belgian peasants try ing to stem the tide as the forces of the Prussian army devastated their homes.

progress in the balloon observation division. He gave vivid description of a remarkable accident which hap pened to Lieutenant Walker few weeks ago while in his balloon 5000 feet above ground. Lieutenant Walker was sailing along serenely when sud- denly the balloon was struck by light ming and the apparatus which usually permitted of gradual defation was de- stroyed. The result was that Lieutenant Walker could not, on account of the rapid descent of the balloon, jump with his parachute and detach himself from the balloon. He dropped with terrifying speed and landed on top of a tall fence which the basket fell upon and caused
 the gradual break of the fall Through a strange phenomenon Lieutenant Walk er's body was covered with ice, the
