THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

The campaign for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan will begin September %
and close October 10. The result of
the loan will be watched with keen
interest in Europe, not only by our
associates in the war against the leu
tonic powers but by our enemies. 1t
will be regarded by them as measure
of the American peoples support Of
the war.
The Germans know full yell the ire
mendous weight and significance of
popular support of the war, Of the
people at home backing up the Army
in the field. AS the loan succeeds our
enemies will sorrow; as it falls short
they will rejoice. Every dollar sub
scribed will help and encourage the
American soldiers and hurt and de-
press the enemies of America.
The loan will be test Of the 10y
atty and willingness Of the people of
the United States to make sacrifices
compared with the willingness of our
soldiers to do their part. There must
be and will be no failure by the peo-
pie to measure up to the courage and
devotion of our men in Europe. Many
Of them have given up their lives;
shall we at home withhold our money?
Shall we spare our dollars while they
spare not their very lives?

Threshing is being cleaned up very
rapidly and another week after this
will see the country pretty well clean
ed up if the weather remains fine. We
are getting through this harvest and
threshing much better than we
thought we would earlier in the sea-
son. Many of the townspeople have
been out helping along in these lines
and their work has certainly told.
West of US the crop is light and be-
tween Valley City and jamestown at
least eighty-ive per cent of the
threshing has been completed, this
will release quite lot of men for SER
vice furthr east and in the southern
part of the state the threshing is
we'll along which will relieve a lot
more. From present outlooks all the
threshing will be done during Sep
TENDER which is an unusual occur
renee in this state even before the
war.

MIR. EVANS VS.. THE FACTS

To Labor Day audience on Sept. 2,
David H. Evans, joint candidate for
governor of the new labor party and
the Nonpartisan League, said that the
working men and farmers of the coun-
try have never received square deal,
and that the present is the proper
time for them to assert themselves
and obtain "justice."
Let US see if this is true. In the
first place, this country is at war-a
poor time in the judgment of patrio-
tic men, to preach class discomfort
even if the classes to which Mr.. Evans
refers were really suffering substan-
tial injustice. But they are not. At
the present moment labor, generally
speaking, receives a wider recognition
than ever before in the history of the
United States, and labor itself is be-
ing paid more handsomely than in
any previous period. Advances in
the wage of labor have alone kept
measurable pace with advances in the
cost Of living. And how about the
farmer? He is today receiving prices
for his products which exceed the
widest fancies of pre-war periods.
Said President Wilson yesterday in
his proclamation fixing 1920 as the
minimum price for wheat: "In Civ
ing a guaranteed price for wheat one
year in advance (the only industry
guaranteed by the government) there
is involved considerable national
risk" He went on to point out that
peace before the middle of 1920 might
cause the government loss of $780,
100000 as the result of this price
guarantee. So far from being "un-
just" to the farmer, is not this gov
eminent guarantee to his industry a
signal favor to him?
Mr.. Evans, as we understand it, is
neither farmer nor laborer. He is a
prosperous retail hardware merchant
Of Tracy. He is the owner of a grain
elevator there. Has he treated the
farmer unjustly in the operation of
this elevator? He probably would
deny it.
Said former justice Thomas D.
O'Brien, who addressed tn same au-
dience: "The preceding speaker (Mr.
Evans) seems to think that there is
something very wrong with this coun-
try. Yet he himself said that he
came to America from a foreign land
penniless and uneducated. Look at
his position today"
Yes, look at it. Here is man who
sought our friendly shores in pursuit
Of the life, liberty and happiness
guaranteed under our constitution.
And without the advantage either of
money or education, he has found all
three in abundance. He is rich, he
has risen high enough in this COM
munity to obtain no matter how, a
nomination for the highest elective
Office within it's gift. And yet he is
appealing for votes on the ground that
there is something wrong with Amer
lea, that justice is something to be
obtained by a favored few, that this
country habitually wrongs and op-
presses its numerically greatest
classes-farmer and laborer. Mr.
Evans own career is sufficient refuta-
ton Of the statement.-St. Paul Pho

A good mother dropped into the
Times-Record Office yesterday and
wanted the editor to call the atten-
ton to the police officials to the speed
ers who persist in travelling up the
main avenues of the city at rate of
not less than forty miles sometimes,
calling our attention to the danger
existing to the children, especially
since school started. The editor has
repeatedly warned drivers about
reckless driving in the city but our
suggestions do not meet with any
alarming success. Then again, why
come to the paper to do all this pro-
testing. Why not go to the mayor
and the police direct. This paper is
not regulating. things in Valley City.
We have mayor at the head of the
city government elected to see that
its ordinances are enforced and he in
turn appoints police officers to do this
work. We fail to see why the "buck"
is passed on to the newspaper man
and why the mothers and others who
have grievance don't go direct to
headquarters instead of asking US to
pull the chestnuts out of the fire for
them. That's what we want to know.

SENDS LETTER TO
.THRESHERMEN

l. j. Moe, county chairman of the
threshermens' committee for Barnes
county and county food administrator,
has sent out the following letter to
those engaged in threshing in this
county:
Valley City, N. D. Sept. 6, 1918.
Mr.. Thresherman: l wish to thank
the many loyal threshermen of Barnes
county who have so nobly responded
to the request Of the government in
using canvas under their feeder, u.s.
ing tight racks and have put up the
cards "Pitch Evenly-Head First" as
provided through this Office. However
l am sorry to note that all have not
complied. You have been asked as
men, as patriotic, loyal Americans to
help win this war and your part was
in the saving of the grain. g..
Section of the Food Resolution in
part states, "it is hereby made unlaw-
ful for any person knowingly to COM
NIT waste or wilfully to permit deter
ioration of any necessaries."
You may not have known it, but
during the past week practically ev-
cry machine operator in Barnes county
has been inspected, relative to the
above propositions.
During the coming weeks another
inspection will be made and if you are
caught in the final drag net, remem-
Der, we first appealed to your patriot
ism and Americanism and later re-
informed you Of what was expected
and warned you. l have already re-
ported conditions to the national de-
partment and shall report after next
survey where action is necessary.
again wish to thank all who have
so nobly responded to the call of their
country. "By their deeds We shall
know them" This is your opportun-
ity to help win the war. Are you
with the government or against the
government. Are you fighting with
the United States or are you helping
the kaiser. 1t is one or the other.
Trusting my next report will be 100
per cent for the threshermen of
Barnes county, am
Yours very truly,
IL. MOE,
County Food Administrator and chair

REV. H. DANIEL
SON TO RETIRE

Rev. H. Danielson and family are
soon to leave Valley City to take up
their home in Fremont, Neb., where
Mr.. Danielson expects to take things
a little more quietly unless the short
age of men should compel him to re-
enter the ministry. For three years
he has been the pastor of the Skandi-
navian M. E. church in this city and
during his passionate he has added
very materially to its membership and
leaves wide awake membership and
live church. He has endeared himself
to his church and the entire member
ship regrets his departure from this
field, but feel that after all the years
he has faithfully worked in the vine
yard of the Lord he is entitled to a
little rest. They wish him abundant
health and success in his new home.
The Times-Record editor has enjoyed
knowing Mr.. Danielson in a business
and social way and we shall miss his
visits to the printshop and editorial
room. We join with the others in
wishing him long life and happiness.
The reverend gentleman makes the
following statement:
THANKS
We wish to express our thanks to
our many friends in Valley City and
surroundings for the kindness and
good will shown US in the past three
years of our labor in Valley City, as
we are now about to retire to a more
quiet life. We only wish to God that
his grace and care will continue to
he with this church and the city in the
future. We have received into the
church in the past three years 4S
members. We found so members when
we came, but have since gone away.
There are now IL on probation which
makes the entire number 81, 50 YOU
see that our work has not been in
vain. Praise God we hesitate to 90
but Gods call is urgent and we must
obey. Yours truly.

SAVESTRAW IS Mes
SAGE TO FARMERS

Farmers of North Dakota should
not burn any of this falls straw. In
addition to providing feed for cattle
this fall and winter, it may be worth
as much as good hay If the crop IS be-
low average next year.
STRAW is much too valuable this
fall to be burned, and l don't believe
many farmers are burning it" said
W, B. Richards, Cass county farm
agent, today. "Some last years
straw is being burned, but only to
make room for this years stacks.
and, besides there might be
light crop next year, and as a result
little straw. What was saved this
year then will be worth as much as
hay"
Mr.. Richards added that it was
not unlikely that farmers and cattle
raisers in the western half of the state
would need the surplus straw of the
eastern half of the state before win
ter was over.
II think that our farmers would
consider it a patriotic duty to help
out their brothers in the western half
of the state by giving them their sur
plus straw, or selling it to them at a
minimum price so they could afford to
press and ship it where needed, in
stead of burning much of it as they
did last year," writes J. P. Lamb,
Michigan, prominent Nelson county
farmer and banker ut is certainly
crime to burn straw at this time. We
have good grade of bright straw this
year, which will make splendid feed
if properly cared for.
"People in the western part Of the
state are already commencing to ship
out young stock as they have no feed
to keep them over winter, and there
will be large percentage of the
stock shipped unless provision is made
whereby they can get feed at reason
able prices"

The war is making many radical
changes these days and it is becoming
necessary for our people to realize
that they must make sacrifices that
they have never made beforehand
then some. The war is taking men
out of the country so fast that is it
depicting the help that usually can
be secured to do work like delivering,
Office work and in fact most all kinds
Of labor. 1t is simply impossible to
get help these days and as the draft
continues and older men are sent into
service we are going to see things
much harder than we do now and we
have got to adapt ourselves to the
changed conditions. The meat mar
kets of the town are cutting out the
delivery system now because they are
unable to get help to do the deliver
into the cash and carry plan TO rthis
into the cash and sarry plan for this
reason. The Times-Record is w
against it for help and every business
man is the same way. You have tx
take what you can get and pay the
price for unskilled labor that you
pay for the skilled labor, and have
to look pleasant. But then we don't
really know even now what war is a:
compared to England, France, 1tal!
and other nations that have been in il
for four years and we have not much
ground for complaint. AS Genera
Sherman said "war is hell" And II
