WHAT WHEAT CONTROL HAS SAVED

The general facts with reference to the Third Liberty
Loan have been made public. The loan will be. for the
minimum amount Of $4,000, ooo, 1000. The fun amountsof
observation-disclosures will be accepted. In the first loan the
issue was limited to the announced amount, and no over
subscriptions were accepted. In the second, half of the
sum over-subscribed was accepted. Interest will be paid
at the rate Of 4 IA per cent as against 3 12 for the first
convertible, as the others Have been, into the bonds of
later Issues. It is announced further that this will be the
last issue Of Liberty Bonds until october. <'s'@T$
The quota apportiened to North Dakota is S. 0o, 900.
and to Grand Forks county 100000. The sum to be
raised in Grand Forks city is yet to be determined by the
county and c~ityfcommittees in charge: IT,.
T It is needless to say at this time that the sum appor-
toned to North Dakota will be raised, that the $4,000
assigned to Grand Forks county will be produced, and
that whatever porto .nof this issue is assigned to the city
will be raised There is no boastfulness in that, statement.
It would be decidedly in poor taste to make anything con-
nected with the raising#of funds to supply the needs Of
the nation in this time Of stress an occasion for boast
fulness. We are not going to raise these funds to boom
the city. the county. or the state. There is nothing OF
an advertising nature in the program. There is nothing
of personal or local advantage to be gained, and nothing
of the sort is to be sought. 1t is all a matter Of serious
business, sober, serious, solemn business. 1t i. a matter
of obligation. The present. need Of the nation. has been
made known, and we must meet that need. 1t can be
met by great districts, and by little units, but when we
get right down to the basis of all it must be met by in.
dlv1duals' Just plain people, and it is by these individuals
that the duty must be performed. upon them that the OBJ
,ligationr rests. Z. s
We shall raise the sum needed. The investment will
be made. as Rev. Mr.. Watson said in his brief address
Yesterday. not as an investment in doliara and cents. bu,
as an investment in Character and Ideals.
r. The kaiser's big: gun has killed a few women and
children. and destroyed a few dollars. worth of property
As a military engine 1t has. as yet, shown no usefulness
But it is a dangerous thing. and, liket a lot Of the katset.s
other dangerous toys, 1t will be taken away from him.
The war has developed IAN .idealisn in this nation
such as never; before existed. War 10 a horrible thing
and like other calamities, its awfulness teaches man that
ne needs sonnethins more than the material things with
which he has been accustomed ia. work and pla,.
Just as every American looks upon this a. hiss own
personal war will We let in proper shape to whit
Neither food nor fuel nor money, vii win tho var
But u the mental and spiritual attitude of the people Il,
right, these things. which are ali necessaryy4o the winnie
q the war VII be produced IN abundance.
