Boys Hike Away from Home to Join
the Army,

Mr.. and Mrs. l.. A. Mann of Lone
Tree were in Minot Tuesday, signing
enlistment papers for their son, Wal
do, 16 years Of age, who was so deter
mined to enter the army that he went
of his own accord to Devils Lake, en-
listing in the Marines. Waldo has
been trying for long time to get the
consent of his parents to enlist in
some branch Of the army, but they
tried to persuade him to wait till he
was little older. A week ago Sun
day, Waldo and Darrell Luke, the 15-
year-old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. G. A.
Luke of Berthold, came to Minot and
walked all the way to Towner, 40
miles east of this city. They went to
Devils Lake, where Waldo enlisted.
Darrell Luke tried to enlist in Grand
Forks, saying he was 18 years of age,
but he forgot when he was filing out
his enlistment blank and wrote in
1903 as the date of his birth. He was
sent home.
These lads have the right stuff in
them just the same and will be heard
from.

N|N0T STAGES
DEMONSTRATION
News of Continued American Military
Successes Caused Magic City's Cup
of Joy to Overflow Tuesday.

When the reports of American sue
cesses continued to arrive in Minot
Tuesday, our citizens became so en-
thusiastic that they staged mighty
interesting little celebration which
was entirely spontaneous and reflect
ed the spirit of our citizens.
The Musicians Union band, which
has appeared almost daily at patriotic
functions for months, dropped their
work, closed up shop and was soon out
on the street playing "Keep the Home
Fires Burning" and other appropriate
airs. The Town Criers' Million Dol
lar Drum Corps soon joined in. Presi-
dent Shaw of the city commission Sc
cured a huge flag and headed the pro-
cession which marched thru the prin-
cipal streets. Hundreds Of citizens
left their work and got into the line Of
march. The procession led to the G.
N. station where scores Of incoming
people joined in the jollification.
S. J. Doyle, democratic nominee for
governor who happened to be leaving
on the afternoon train, was invited to
make short address. He stated that
our hearts thrilled with JOY when we
received the glad message from over
there. We have sent our best blood
over there and our boys are giving the
answer to the German Junker autoc-
racy when they said. we could not
fight. They now know they can't in.
suit our flag and "get away with it."
There are lot Of things happening
in France of more Importance than
the ambition for any office, he stated.
Norman Black, an outgoing passen-
ger, bound for his home in Fargo,
spoke a few words. "There's not an
other town in the United States where
such celebration could have been got
ten up in five minutes and with the
mayor at the head Of the procession
he said. Mr.. Black concluded by sing
ing "Sammie." Both speakers were
enthusiastically received. =,
Geo. State helped in the celebration
by announcing thru a megaphone the
latest war bulletins. The whistles
thruout the city were blown and the
bells were rung.
It was learned that a similar dem
onstration was held that afternoon in
St. Paul and other live cities. We
want our boys over there to know That
the home folks are with them and that
thew appreciate their noble work.

Business Good?

There are very few Houses For
Rent" signs to be seen around Paris.
This is a proof of growth and pros
perity, and is also an indication that
more homes ought to be provided for
the people who would move here, If
houses could be rented. There was a
time some months ago when the re-
port that the Louisville & Nashville
would move their terminals from
Paris to Winchester, when a number
of houses were vacated. But the de-
mand became just as strong when
the scare had passed. The L. & N
did transfer a few families, Gas, in
deed, they are always doing from,
time to time) to other points on the
line, but there was never time
when the demand for rent houses was
not good. There is still room for d
large number of coy and attractive
rent cottages in Paris that can be
rented at a reasonable figure.

The Liberty Motor Abroad.

The announcement that the first
shipments of battleplanes, built in
the United States, and equipped with
the Liberty Motor, is on it's way to
Europe five months ahead of its
schedule reveals that this country is
getting along in its war progress.
Many people hold to the view that
nothing is as important as a suffici-
emit number of airplanes and pilots,
that if the United States would cou-
centrate upon this one factor 1t
would prove decisive in the war.
Secretary Baker points out that
for every battle plane in actual
fighting there must be two in re-
serve and a training plane, and be-
sides the pilot there must be at least
forty ground men. The engines,
huge eighteen cylinder affairs, have
to be overhauled continuously in or
der to safeguard the life of the pilot
and render his work effective.
The need is for more men, and
more mechanics, for the aviation Sec
ton of our fighting forces. All who
can go into this branch of the SER
vice, and the hazards, as pointed out
by Gen. Pershing, are no more dan
gerous than those of ordinary trench
warfare.

As To Manual Labor.

The trouble with good many
young men around Paris is that they
do not understand the dignity Of
manual labor They do not realize
that honors and fortunes may be
more readily gained outside of the
so-called professions than in them,
and that it is just as honorable to
swing a hammer or to guide pillow
as it is to make a speech in court or
to amputate a limb. The lesson
these young men should be taught as
early as possible is that it is not so
much what a man does for a living
as how he does it, and that manual
labor is as honorable as any other.
Why, even some of the boys from
Bourbon who went to Camp Taylor
are beginning to be in love with their
labors. And when you consider the
fact that some of them nTyer did a
days hard work in their lives, doesn't
it sound good?

duty and every sacrifice. When the
record is made up it will be illumin-
ated with feats of gallantry and
courage and devotion to country and
cause. Wherever an American youth
is sent he dares to go and carry the
flag for which he offers his life.
American fathers who have them
selves fought for the Nations honor
and safety, and American mothers
whose sacrifices are most trying
know what their boys will do. All
America knows it will have reason to
be proud of the achievements of our
young manhood on the field of bat
tie or wherever heroism is in test.

Two thousand bonds of $500 de,
nomination, comprising $1,0O0,000
Deficiency Bonds" issued recently to
New York banking concern, were
mutilated in Cincinnati by City Au-
ditor George p. Carrel because of
errors in printing.
A misplaced comma caused the to-
tai amount of the bond issued to ap
pear 100000 instead of 81 100000,
while a figure 90" was not readable
in two places. Mr.. Carrel had sign
ed $50 of the bonds when he noticed
the mistakes, while Acting Mayor
Carl Jacob, was ready to attach his
signature.
The bonds will be reprinted. The

EDITORIAL MUSINGS.
Now. Forward. March
,>>>>>>>>>>>>>>,

They do say that when it comes
! in Like lion it goes out a lamb
fmeaning the month of March, of
courSe). And while it would hardly
be wise to take off your winter I'M
derwear just yet, or to figure on
making a swift change from the gas
man and the coal man to the ice
man, still, there are certain pre-tok-
ems that the backbone of winter is
definitely broken. The sun is get
ting high! ....
For, look you, spring officially be-
gan on the twenty-frst of March,
yesterday, by the calendar. And while
two royal Cardinals taking the sun
on a snow-encrusted limb do not by
any means make spring (any
more than two swallows make a
summer) yet it is permitted us to
point out that the snow you see on
the screen at the movies or on the
front covers of the magazines is not
the December or the January kind.
It is what is known in some locali-
ties as sugar snow" snow half
accident and apologetic. 1t is snow
that can't set back the sap rising in
the trees, or the swelling buds on the
bushes. 1t is kind of April shower
snow-it comes out between SUM-
bursts, and out of skies that would
like to be softly blue and which
clouds may only softly overcsat.
And folks about this time of the
year begin to have a sort of inner
bunch that winter is going. Spring
clothes, hats and fishing rods are
beginning to make their appearance.
The banks of Stoner creek see the
presence again of the fishermen who
have been laying up" during the
winter. The Paris dopesters are get
ting ready to win fortunes on the
Derby at Louisville. The railbirds
are hunting the sunny spots on street
coraers-and, we'll, spring is on the
way to Paris, that's all. There's d
sort of feeling, that same urge of
intuitiye sense that causes the field
and woodland creatures to break
away from their months-old hiberna-
ton: and that sends, finally, the
birds from their southern wintering
places back into old Kentucky. 1t is
oftener than not a blusterish, noisy,
slappish sort of month, is March.
But it is one of the pivot months it
breaks the grip of winter and throws
UP a highway for the coming of
spring.
So here's to the advent of spring in
Paris. Do we hear a second to the
motion? The "ayes" have tit is
or ordered. And from now on we
may look for all the other signs
peek-aeboo shirtwaists, open-work
hosiery-but why try to give the
whole list?

FOR THE WAR LIBRARY.

The Paris public is asked to donate
works of fiction, standard novels and
novels of to-day, books of adventure,
detective stories, in fact, every kind
of narrative that would appeal to
the men in the camps. Even boys
books of adventure need not be omit

are not past the time when they can
enjoy such literature.

he doesn't spend much of his time

American Courage and Spirit.

England is still ringing with the
tributes of Englishmen to the brav-
cry of the American boys on the Tus-
ca1ia in the hour of disaster. 1t Is
not surprising, but it is gratifying to
al ct home to have 1t Sc generously
recognized.
-, Courage in every relation of life.
nd courage particularly in the face
u danger, is the American spirit.
IAe pages of American history are
militant with golden recitals Of the
exploits of American manhood in the
Nations Army and Navy. They are
confined to no .period. They are
feuaA eli the way through the life
of the Republic from the Revolution
to the present.
In this war, and in any war in
which Americans engage and have a
righteous cause for which to fight
they will be found equal to every
