This government of yours, has
cleared the hostile Indians and
Buffalo out of it and given you a
home where you have prospered,
where you have liberties no other
nation has. You owe not only to
yourself and community but to the
government everything you have
so that this government shall be
preserved. I wish that we did not
have Japan as an ally, because
than only the democfatic nations
Of the world would be united.
There are some of us who can go
and fight but we will back you with
Liberty loans, war savings stamps
and Red Cross and other kindred
, organizations that look out for
your welfare. This government
provides an insurance department
so that YOU can take out insurance
and in ease that you don't come
back that will go to the support Of
the family or dependents. They will
sent your monthly salary home or
part of it as YOU wish.
Now boys don't want to hand
You any sob stuff, but | will say
that you have nothing to fear us
there are many things worse thar
death. because death only comes
once and if you have give it for
honor of the best government on
earth. We want you to take care
of nyur own health. so that most
Of you will come back, as only nine
of YOU according to statistics will
moi return and we do not kno (.
! which ones it will be, but come bar
to our protection and care and pc
guarantee a full measure. Mr..
Smith concluded the speech by
saying that he personally saw the

HIGHLAND COUNTY QUOTA left
TUESDAY FOR CAMP DODGE
Out OF the One Hundred Seventeen Who
Departed Nineteen of the Draftees
Are From City of Wahpeton

Tuesday morning at 1890 a. m.
III men from kich]and county,
who are the quota from this coun-
ty called to I'LL the ranks of the
national army, fast being depleted
by the shipment of men to France,
which are now going over at the
rate of 100000 a month, entrained
over the Great Northern railway
for Camp Dodge, Iowa, on the first
leg Of their joruney to Berlin to
pay a visit to "Bill."
III men staunch hearted and
with q determination to do their
might for liberty's cause have left
us. III men who until the end will
make the Kaiser wish he hadn t
sneered and state that he wouldn't
stand for any nonsense by the
United States after he had won
this war, will block his efforts to
their utmost. III men that answer
ed their country's 5 glory in the fact.
that it's their call. As one young
man who couldn t pass the physi-
call examination Monday morning
put it, speaks for the rest: "Isn T
it hell to get the impulse and feel
ing and then realize that some
thing is wrong physically and you
can't go and make the Kaiser sing
Yankee Doodle, 1"
These young men are honest,
fearless and will like the rest that
have left before them, make not
only a name for themselves and
community in which they live, but
will be another cog in the wheel of
freedom, th>t will cause the hearts
Of the misunderstanding plutocrats
shrink with fear. The same old
spirit of the boys of Seventy-Six
is with them, for each one has pro-
claimed to the world. that he is
the one that is going to get the
Kaiser. 1t is this determination
that has set the world afire. The
stamp Made in Germany" is not
held in fear by the boys in khaki.
and these same youths that we
mingle with every day is the yo,,t!.
that is going to plant the flag OF
Potsdam palace. A palace which
has been the abode Of all that is
not civilization. A place where the
slaughter Of innocent lives was
planned to create a world power,
where the orders to commit atroc
tiles were transmitted from. Such
is the undying spirit of these men
that they will not be defeated. On

is ours. is their motto.

PROF. SMITHS GRAFTON
TO LIBERTY BOYS

Every bitter has it's sweet, ev-
cry light has it's dark and every
good has its bad" said Professor
Smith in his introductory remarks
to the Liberty Boys that were the
guests Of the Wahpeton Reserve
company. Mr.. Smith continuing
further said that everything in ma
ture was fighting for it's existence.
1t was the survival of the fittest. :"
There are two characters in this
world that belong to this. One the
desire for power, the other the de-
sire for love Of justice and love
of peace. In the time before Christ
might was right and he told the
story Of the trial Of the Athens re-
public. How this republic sent ex-
c,1rsions into Persia. How the peo-,
pie began to think Of governing
Themselves and the result was that
the autocracy began to waver un-
der these new, ideas, because they
began to think of governing them
selves like the peace-loving, law
abiding friends that came into
their country from Athens. Then
the ruler began to fear for his
throne and power and sent an ar
my of one hundred thousand Sold
iers to wipe from the earth this
Young republic that had began
through it's propaganda of demo-
cratic policies to crumble the re-
gime of this monarch.
The speaker related the history
OF the battle, saying Athens had
only an army Of then thousand
available men. How the war lords,
that is the generals who stood for
honor and peace of their country
won the decision over the pacifists
who stood for even slavery than to
offer their lives for the principles
that their country and government
stood for. The men with princi-
pie to fight for, went down on the
plains Of Marathon and met and
defeated the hordes of the ruler
OF Persia and preserved liberty for
the western world.
The speaker told the story of
Christ i'll relation to his theme and
told the reasons why he believed
the Jesus of Nazarus, was born in
a manger, SO that he could feel
like the lowly and poor, the sense
OF love and justice, the equality
for all and such was the, birth Of
democracy and the plan of the
universe was the reason WHY we
in this country became a self GOV
erning power, a republic in form
OF government.
Hoover, Mr.. Smith continued.
said that the greatest test of his
democracy was the conservation Of
the food upon request. This coun-
try Of hundred and ten million
people, changed it's menu over
night. and the people as whole
have lived up practically to the
letter to the requests of the food
administration, so that food could
be conserved and shipped to our
allies. so that they would no.
starve and so that the soldiers
would have the best food possible.
You boys that are gathered here.
said Mr.. Smith in addressing the
the boys personally, are from the
state of North Dakota, once con-
slider and called the great Ameri-
can desert, where hostile Indians
and wild buffalo roamed at will.
