UNDER THE CAPITOL DOME
- BY Alva a. ain

The hours from to in the after
noon of June % of this year will,
without doubt, be two of the most
important hours in American history.
At that time our citizens VIII con-
gregate in the various school houses
Of this land under the call of Presi-
dent Wilson and will eonsecrate them
selves anew to the cause of democ-
racy and freedom by individually
pledying to save a certain amount OF
their income each month and to IN
vest their savings in war savings
stamps. This date will be officially
known as National War Savings
Day" II is the intention to secure
savings pledges sufficient in those two
hours TO complete the national quota
on the war savings campaign. The
original amount to be raised was 81
600 900 900. About $500, 600, 900 has
been raised. The national quota has
been distributed among the states and
by them to the counties and on down
to the smallest political subdivision.
President Wilson will soon issue
proclamation to the people of the
United States calling upon them to
assemble in their respective commu-
mites at that hour and to pledge to
save certain amount each month.
Already steps are beng completed TO
arouse such an interest in the move
ment that he or she who stays away
from their allotted place, or who fails
to Join in the general saving plan will
not be considered true blue Ameri-
can.
The campaign for this pledge from
American citizens will be different
from preceding campaigns. In pre-
ceding campaigns pledges were Sc
cured from our people to purchase or
to give. In this campaign pledges
will be secured to save and purchase.
Saving is the essential feature of the
plan. To get each person in America
to establish margin between what
is earned and what is spent and to
invest that margin in war savings
stamps. 1t will not be proper to go
TO the bank and borrow sufficient
funds with which to purchase stamps,
the price must be secured thru saw
ing. BY reason of this 2 p. m, June
2s, will be the time when America as
people will, under the auspices of
the war. the surroundings of assem-
blages and the authority of her gov
ernment, pledge herself to become a
nation of thrift thru individual month
ly. systematic saving and prudent in
vestment.

 time during Sunday as he was enter ing Garden City, Kansas, while en

 Rochester. Minnesota, to be placed
 under treatment at Mayo Brother'S s
 hospital. According to meager par
 ticulars received he expired suddenly
 on the train from heart failure. His
 wife and daughter did not accompany
 him. from which it is inferred his
 condition could not have been regard ed as serious.
 Mrs. Cline sends word that the re- mains of her husband will be brought to Prescott for burial, while she and will arrive on Wednesday, when funeral arrangements will be announced. Mir. Cline recently was overtaken with sudden heart illness, when he left for the lower elevations on the sea level. his condition inn proving for a short time, but eX- periencing a recurrence a short time ago he concluded to submit to skilled treatment, hence his trip to Rochester was decided upon.

 Col. E. \. Jones, camp commander, received a letter from the man today.
 It said: Commanding officer: Dear Sir: l want to get a little informa- jion from you whether a man who has been convicted of a felony is liable to be taken into service providing he is draft age
 Now I was convicted Of forgery in in 1914 and I was sent to the - State prison for 10 years but I was released out of prison on good behavior after being there three years. l am twenty-four years old and I have been out of prison for over 10 months, and I came to the conclusion that if I could go to the army it would help to square my past record.
 I'm not a bad fellow, and you'll admit that there is such thing as mistake. I'm in class five of the draft but being a man I think it IS my duty to help Old Glory to knock the Ger" out of Kaiser.
 What kind of man or men do you want in the Army, do you want man who would be afraid to go over the top or would you rather go over the top with a man that has guts or in other words, a man who is game to the finish?
 Twenty-Five years from now wouldn't Ike people to ask me Ii l helped to make this world a decent place to live in, because l would have to say no.
 ''I want to square myself and my chance has come providing l can shoulder a gun and be sent to France right away.
 There is one thing I would like to have you do and that is to help me get in the L. s. Army, as the best little fighter in this country IS writ ing this.
 If am not accepted then l would like to join the French or any nation on the side of the Allies Hoping that you will do the best you can for me l remain,
