HUMBLE CAMP COOK
Is GENUINE PATRIOT;
PURCHASES 81 900 BONDS

Not the man Of wealth, not those
of inherited hard earned coin, not
the blatant waver of the American
flag whenever 1t is considered the
crowd is looking, not these and many
others along similar line are always
the real patriots.
G.. X. Lee is cook in a lumber
camp. He has been working for the
Seavey Lumber company at Ball Club.
He has been suffering severe attack
of rheumatism and has not had the
opportunity to take an active interest
in government activities, but what
this true American has done with his
light hidden securely under the pro-
verbal bushel, is purchase 500 Of
the Second Liberty Loan, s400 of the
Third and has $500 ready to purchase
the Fourth Liberty loan bonds when
the campaign opens.
Mr.. Lee was in Bemidji today en-
route to above Nebish to enter the
employ of the American Cedar COM
jany as cook.

cratic ideas and incorporating them
in their government without danger
to national strength.
When say Japan's throne stands
without peril, ] have in mind the pc
culiar character Of the Emperor's po-
sition in respect to the people. The
Mikado is the head of a large family.
He Is not kaiser. He is not a des-

Where Danger Lies.
Up to this point Marquis Okuma
had made no mention Of the present
ministry in Japan, a ministry which
has faced charges of being unconsti-
tutional, super-party and bureaucra-
tic ever since it came into office. Nor
did he become explicit at this juno
ture. What he said was this:
''The danger to democracy in Japan
lies, not in the rule of the emperor,
but in the administration of those
who interpret the sovereign's will to
the people. Ii bureaucratic govern
ment attempts to suppress the senti-
ments of the public, there is offered
an obstacle to democratic progress
which may have serious consequences,
-, in Japan as in any other coun-
try.
81 believe, however, that the gov
ernment leaders of Japan, like the
people, are prepared to receive the
new world democracy and direct the
national destfnies accordingly.
DO you fear that change from
Japan's ancient system of monarcbic
rule to more liberal form OF gov
ernment might endanger the strength

students at the university before they
can be inducted by draft boards. Up
on acceptance the registrant will be
