DON'T STOP SAVING
BECAUSE YOU BOUGHT
SOME LIBERTY BONDS

North Dakotans are urged to not fall
into the fallacy of considering their in
vestment in Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps in lieu Of all other
savings. r.,
This is time above all others when
individual savings accounts should be
built up. Every patriotic citizen
should invest every penny he can
spare in Liberty Bonds and War Saw
ings Stamps. If, however, he merely
defects to these channels the savings
which he has regularly accumulated
and continues to spend ,extravagantly
the same proportion of his income, he
has not learned the lessons which
the great war must teach, says the
North Dakota Council of Defense.
War Savings Stamps and Liberty
Bonds mean more when they repre-
sent self-denial. They should be
repositories for sums saved through
the practice Of new economies. Each
individual should insofar consider him

From a news interest standpoint
one of the big features is the recent
tour of inspection of Secretary of War
Baker, on the French front. With him
we see BLACK Jack" Pershing, the
most gallent figure this great war has
produced, and as one sees him move
about among his men, we understand
why they have come to love him, and
why America need not fear the ulti-
mate result while Jack Pershing re-
mains in command.

One thing that has made Bismarck popular
shopping center for the Slope is the fact that

is one Of the largest distributors Of tractors

tributes more automobiles and motor trucks

Ignite bulks heavier on basis
of heat units than other soft Goals,
because the fuel contains about 40 per
cent moisture when it comes from the
mine In spite of this fact, Ignite has
been a most economical and satisfac-
tory fuel when shipped under the
favorable traffic conditions which
North Dakota has enjoyed.
It has been pointed out to the coun-
Gil that Director General McAdoo's
order specifically abolishes such
preferential intrastate rates in every
instance where an interstate rate
exists on the same commodity. This
order further provides that where
rates were not increased Is per cent
in 1917, such advance shall be made,
and that the new Is per cent increase
shall then be added. This may mean
that points to which Ignite rates now
are 81 the ton, which is fair average.
must add Is cents to meet the 1917
advance, and then rs per cent to the
$115 per ton rate resulting, making
the new rate $1.44, or an increase of
A per cent, which, of course, will be
borne by the consumer.
North Dakota uses coal to a certain
extent nine months out of the year.
Uhe annual consumption Of Ignite per
family>is not less than 30 tons, and
Director General McAdoo adds % 20
to the average annual coal bill. If
each Of North Dakota's $4,000 fam
lilies burns Ignite this year, as the
federal fuel administration is asking
them to do, the increased cost of coal
to the domestic consumer, or the state

neuvers SO skilfully elaborated by Mar
shall Foch and so ably carried out ny
Field Marshal Haig and General re-
tain enabled this great achievement to
be accomplished without the loss In
separable from a direct attack. the
result is nothing less than the ruin or
the entire defensive system built up by
the German staff since 1914, for the
cornerstone of it was the Laon pla-
teau.
1t was on the Laon plateau that the
German line was pivoted. 1t was to
turn it that the offencives of 1915 and
1916 were carried out. 1t was against
il that the campaign of 1917 was pre-
maturely broken. 1t was from the
piateaN that the sixth great drive OF
the Germans toward Paris was started
Its fall is the prologue of the total
liberation OF France, for the progress
