WAR HAS PUT MANS
BRAINS INTO ACTION
Wonderful inventions Have
Come Out of ihe Present
Bloody Conflict

Wonderful inventions have been
brought about by the needs of mod
ern warfare, and terrible weapons OF
destruction and death are being plan
ned and offered to the warning gov
ernments by the busy brains OF IN
'yentors.
Lester p. Barlow is Philadelphia
inventor who has manufactured; an
aerial torpedo, which. he asserts, can
destroy Berlin, and win the war In
thirty days, according to the leading
article in the Patent News, issued at
Washington, d. c., and devoted to
inventions. Mr.. Barlow has already
invented an anti submarine bomb
that has proved of highest value, in
destroying Germany's undersea craft.
According to his account of his re-
cent invention it is "the most terri :
bly, destructive engine of warfare that
the world has eyer seen" He states
that with it torpedoes can be sent
from behind the allied lines in France
right into the heart of Berlin. The
construction of the torpedo is said to
be very simple, and officials who
have seen it have expressed the opin-
ion that there is danger of German
inventors grasping the secret of its
construction before America can put
it into use. 4 .,as,isi9 -
1 More than half ton of the highest
explosive that can be manufactured
is carried by this deadly torpedo. II
has. a range of 500 miles, and is posi-
tive in going to it's target. According
to the article in the. Patent News
1.-The government has not yet advanced
any money for the manufacture OF
these torpedoes.
81 offered the torpedo as a gift tt
the government" said the inventor
''The authorities at Washington ad
mitted when they weIel shown the
plans that Berlin could be blown of
| the map and the German natiol
could be whipped in thirty days; The!
also admitted that thousands of these
devices should be on hand before
their use was commenced, because 81
simple is the principle on which the.
are operated that the German invent
ors more than likely would discOve
it after a few thousand of them ha(
] levelled some OF their cities"

SUIT OVER s1,40O NOTE
:. e. Wade In Action Against Bank
at Mankato

The case of F. E. Wade VS.. the
National Bank of Commerce of Man
kato is on trial before jury in the
district court at Fairmont The case
involves possession of note for up
wards of $1,400 signed by the plain
tiff. 1t appears that about a year ago
Mr.. Wade gave the note as premium
for large life insurance policy taken
through an agent named Beckwit,
under the distinct understanding that
a certain kind of policy at a GER
tain price be delivered to him. 1t is
contended that this was not done and
the policy was returned. Mr. Wade
now sues to get possession of the
note. The contention of the bank is
that the note was purchased in good
faith and as innocent purchasers the
bank should not give up the note
without adequate compensation.

LIBERTY BONDS

THIS WEEK-APRIL 8TH--a new
campaign to fioct $4,000, ZOO, 900. 90 Of
Liberty Bonds will be started. We are
hopeful that our people will be more
liberal buyers Of this issue than Of
the bonds previously issued. The war
will continue for some time yet. But
We MUST and we WILL win. To car
ry 1t on. Uncle Sammy MUST have
money. Western Farmers promise to
be heavy buyers Of these bonds, and
special efforts will be made to induce
Southern Farmers to buy, because 1t
is believed that the S-uthern Farmers
will get more for their products this
year than ever before. Consequently
they will have more money than ever.
Lend some Of your money to Uncle
Sam by buying Donds. It is an abso-
lutely SAFE investment Uncle Sam
will pay you back, and II he should
get to the place where he can't pay,
the money that YOU might have paid
for bonds won't be Of any value to
you. Help Uncle Sam to win with
your money and More FOOD CROPS
and make what You have worth More
