Senator Sterling
On BOlSheYiki

Washington, March 9th-The
bolsheviki in America are doing
their bit to hamper war prepara-
tions, they exist in many ranks
of endeavor Senator Thomas
Sterling of South Dakota told
the members of the Georgetown
Citizens association at their
meeting in Potomac Savings Bank
Hall.
The senator denounced those
who have urged shipyard men to
strike. He said it will not be
many DAYS before a bill will be
introduced in Congress to punish
by heavy fine and imprisonment
individuals who foment diSSatiS-
faction among shipmen or spread
discord among munition workers.
He urged that all classes give
themselves unreservedlv to the
task of winning the war.
Senator Sterling evoked great
applause when he declared that
the country is standing sQuarelv
behind President Wilson in any
action he may see fit to take.
When he appeared before Con-
gress last April and asked for a
declaration of war against the i'm
perial German government he
represented the wishes Of the ma
jority of American citizens ac-
cording to the senator.
Senator Sterling in referring to
the Hog Island scandal, said such
state of affairs is enough to
bring the blush of shame to all
who participated in the enormous
frauds that were perpetrated up

Dear Friends
The last | heard from Tom he
said something about joining up
and | do not know whether he is
in Kadoka or not. The tobacco
he sent me has surely come in
handy as the French tobacco is
impossible. The government has
it fixed so we can now get Amer
ican tobacco at the commisSary
as cheap as in the u. S. | don't
know whether the other contin-
gents have been as lucky as we
in that respect. Before go any
further | wish to acknowledge
the package sent to me by the
ladies OF kadoka, which | reCeiv-
ed a short time before left Am
erica. 1t contained just what my
army experience has taught me a
soldier needs and appreciates
most, that is, socks and candy.
A man needs many more socks
than the Army provides, and
wool is at a premium in France.
| have three pair of knitted wool
socks and would not take a
farm for them. Candy is another
premium; | might be persuaded
into trading nv socks for few
Hershey bars.
Do not think that | am the least
bit discouraged. The grub and
bunks are fine. OF course we
get no white bread and no sugar
or butter, but what we have is
clean and wholesome. | have a
stomach like a horse and always
come back for seconds.
AT one of the rest-CampS we
ran into a few "cooties." We
have seen and experienced a few
hardships, but thev we always
turned into jokes. The spirit of
the Americans is hard Tor the
British and French to understand.
Their indominable pep and Curl
osity is very much contrasted by

The Third Liberty
Loan April 9Th

The campaign for the Third
Liberty Loan will be opened on
the 9th of April, the anniversary
OF the declaration of a state of
war between the United States
and Germany.
The amount, terms, and Condi-
tons of the loan are dependent
upon further Legislation and will
be announced as soon as Congress
has granted the necessary pow
erS.
Secretary McAdoo chose the
9th of April as the day to open
the campaign as the most fitting
date to call for patriotic respon
Sc to the summons to duty to ev-
cry American, to ask from the
people at home the sane fervent
patriotism that actuates our gal
liant sons on the battlefields of
France and on the waters OF the
Atlantic.

The senator closed with a de-
nunciation of PrussianiSm, re-
viewed Germany's war aims, the
deceit of that government, and
declared that the world of Civiliz-
ed nations had ostracised her.
Some of us thought America
would never wake up" said the
senator. 81 often wondered if the
people over here would ever come
to see what this war means, the
struggle of freedom for existence.
For the United States to have
kept out of this war longer would

LADIES MAKE FINE
 RECORD SELLING ". S.S.

Mrs. ". s. Richardson, as President of the War Savings Society for Hot Spring County reports the following sales of War Savings and Thrift stamps for last Saturday:
 Gox's Army, $1,142
 n. 2. Missionary Society: $5o4.
 Presbyterian Ladies Aid: s, ,125
 Making total of $4,291 worth of Mar Savings stamps sold
 This is a splendid report and the units deserve special mention as the sales were made entirely in Malvern. and no effort was made to sell the eee- tifcates throughout the county. The report from Little Rock states that $825 was the largest sale made by any one unit and the total from all sales was only S3,600. Hence we are justified in saying that Hot Spring Gounty's Society went over the top.s

 After arrangements for the cam paign had been completed, the follow ing resolution was introduced by F. L. Smith, candidate for Representa- tive, and was unanimously adopted:
 Having finally decided to make a campaign through the county before the Democratic Primary election, May 28th., we, the candidates for the va rious offices, take this method of urg- ing the citizenship of Hot Spring Go. to come out to the different places and hear the candidates speak and then to come out and vote on the 18th. of May. And, inasmuch as world conditions have called on women to enter so many new fields of activity and as this year is the first time in the long history of our state when women can vote we es- pecially invite and urge all the ladies all over the county, whether you have paid your poll tax or not, to come out and hear the various candidates ssplead their cause.'
