THE NEXT LIBERTY LOAN.

North Dakota must accustom itself 10
the thought that it will be called upon to
subscribe from $15 100000 to $20,0oO,OOO to
the next Liberty loan, the drive for which
will begin the latter part Of September.
Washington has not yet announced the
exact amount Of the loan, but it is expected
to be either six billions or eight billions.
Based on that total, North Dakota's share
will be at least $15,000,000.
1t is the biggest sum the state has yet
been called upon to raise, but it will be
raised promptly and cheerfully.
The government can do two things to
expedite the work and they should be done.
, First, the revenue bill should be dis
posed Of before the loan campaign begins,
IL it is possible to do it. This will permit
business men and farmers also, to estimate
what their taxes will be, and on this fea-
ture wilLdepend in a measure, their ability
to subscribe to the loan.
Also the registration and classification Of
the new draft men should be completed If
possible. Few men will be able to sub
scribe literally to the Liberty loan if they
are expecting to be drafted.

DAILY VICTORIES.

The armies Of the Allies are winning
spectacular victories these days, but the
navies Of Great Britain and America are
winning daily victories that get little atten-
ton.
America has not yet lost troop ship
carrying troops to France, and they have
been going forward at the rate Of more
than 100000 month.
That's a mark Of 100 per cent efficiency
for thenavies Of the Allies. For four years
the German navy has been bottled up in
the Kiel canal, not daring even to risk a
combat. That's daily victory for more
than 400 days.

EXPERIMENT WORTH MAKING.

An interesting experiment is being tried
by three Iaundries at Mandan and Bis
marck.
The three companies will operate but one
plant for the remainder of the war. They
will retain their separate business rorgani-
cations and each keep its own customers,
but they will try to save fuel and light by
doing all the work in one plant, operating
it in shifts if necessary.
+ It is an experiment that is well worth
watching. If the details of the co-opera-
ton can be worked out without too much
friction, the plan should recommend itself
fas both economical and patriotic to many
other business enterprises in the state

Meanwhile what of the transatlantic
hight9 Four months of 1918 remain, and
there is still possibility that the flight will
be made this year. Only recently The
Scientific American published an article
demonstrating that such flight was me-
chemically practicable. Aviators say that
thousands of planes able to make the flight,
are now being manufactured.

WE DON'T NEED PAMPER1NG.

Can t Fuel Administrator Garfield take a
lesson from the food administrator
It has become necessary to effect ma
terial saving in gasoline, we are told.
No good citizen objects to doing his
share, but it does seem that the elimination
of Sunday driving with no restrictions on
other days, is bungling and inefficient
way to go about it.
Nobody could object to restrictions on
Sunday driving if the saving could not be
effected in some other way, but why would
the card system now in use for the sale of
sugar not be many times more effective
and cause far less inconvenience to motor
ists9
The motorist then would know exactly
how much gasoline he could use, and he
could make his plans accordingly.
Under the present system the conscien-
tious man will eliminate all driving that is
not absolutely necessary and the "gas hog"
will go his way as usual, denying himself
nothing for the common cause.
We have become accustomed to restric-
tions and regulations in America, and are
not children to be pampered and humored.
If the fuel administration decides con-
servation of gasoline is necessary, why not
put us on card system at once and not
trifle with half measures?

MARKING THE AIR ROUTES.

Automobile trails and railroad lines now
span the country, and before many months
s have passed the continent will be crisis
crossed with lines of landing places for
ayiators.
Tia some of the states there are now land

From a Typical Prairie Town
A Correspondent speeuIates on the Great Change
in Our Boys Lives.


William Slavens McNutt in Golfers Weekly.
We found our way through a confusing system
Of deserted trenches to front line position on a
wooded hilltop, and there, guard, we came
upon a group of boys, all from small inland
town that 1 we'll know
1t is little town on a prairie 1t has a small,
red frame railroad station, one main street on
which are all the business houses, one high
school, coal and lumber yard and grain ele-
vator. Most Of the residents are retired farmers.
It Is an event when anyone moves away from
that town, and a similar occasion of Importance
when anyone from outside the immediate district
moves in. It has one opera house, usually dark,
where comes an occasional small road show and
where the lyceum entertainments and lectures
are given in winter. In the summer, in nearby
thought and some musical and comedy stimulant
for few days I know the muddy little swim
ming hole where every one Of those boys learned
to dive and tread water.
A little more than a year ago that town and it's
people were as peaceful as moonlight, secure in
their provinciality and but slightly troubled by
the war that ragged in another world. Today they
read the casualty lists with fearful eyes and the
postman's mail sack is heavy with letters from
France. Today the boys who learned to tread
water in that muddy little old swimming hole
are standing competent guard in front line
trench the western front in France, calmly
military power and dealing with the life trained
boche better than blow for blow.
Each of those boys is typical American
which is to say that ancestor had at some
time fled from some one of the countries now at
war to escape the identical injustices that cumu-
lative and fused into definite evil idea by Ger
many, are responsible for Armageddon.

The passing of Puck, the comic weekly of New

The magazine Of recent years, has been one

caused by lack of circulation.
But Puck had a long and on the whole credit
