American Boys Fight;
American Girls Save

"America is awakening; it's heart
is on fire; it has revealed it's soul to
a world that did not know it before
and now is dazzled by the sight. A
deathless purpose to win this war is
gripping the American people. The
Third Liberty Loan will test this pur-
pose-will give it expression-this
month.
Already the young men of Amer
lea have dedicated their lives," and
have gone to meet their "fery trial
and sacrifice" on the battle-line in
France. Hundreds Of thousands of
our own boys are now facing the
cruel foe. Into the trenches, filled
with mud and blood; into clouds of
poison-gas and the streams of liquid
! fire, into the iron hail, and the whirl-
wind of destruction, they have gone
with shining eyes and shouts of de-
fance, to fight for us, and for world
of brothers. They'll drive the enemy
back-WITH OUR HELP."-Literary
Digest.)
This is what the Barnes county
boys are doing. The Barnes county
girls are just as patriotic. They will
find way, somehow, this spring and
summer to save or earn a Liberty

Violators of Auto
License Law Are Many

Bismarck, April 12.-Twenty-six
thousand automobiles are operating in
North Dakota without licenses, ac-
cording to Secretary of State Thomas
Hall. There are approximately 3d.
900 automobiles in the state, and up
to the present time the motor vehicle
department of the secretary Of states
office has issued $4,000 tags.
"Practically every auto in North
Dakota is in use at this time," said
Secretary Of State Hall today, ''but
there has been only $4,000 licenses
issued, meaning that $4,000 cars are
being operated in violation of the law.
There is no excuse for further delay
and the law will be enforced"
Excuses that applications for auto
licenses have been made will no long
er be accepted, for when the motor
vehicl department closed tonight there
was not an untitled order on hand.
Local police officers are mostly re-
sponsible for the wholesale violation
Of the motor vehicle law, Secretary
of State Hall declared.
"Many instances have been report
ed to this office in which local justices
who are candidates for reelection,
have refused to prosecute violations
of the auto license law because they
are afraid of making enemies and
thereby injuring their chances for re-
election" Mr.. Hall said. "There are
certain communities in the state
where hundreds of cars are operating
and there is not a 1918 tag to be
found"
Instructions have been sent Out
from the secretary of states office to
the IA special deputies detailed tn en-
force the auto laws, to bring viola
tors to justice Immediately.
Special officer H. C. Berlinke, re-
ported 16 arrests at Minot and sew.
eral other officers reported a large
number of arrests.

viii Read and Heed

"Day by day we shall scan with
throbbing hearts the casualty lists
cabled from the American army in
the field. The length of that casualty
list depends on us. Every one Of US
is responsible. The Third Liberty
Loan is to keep that casualty list
down. Every Liberty Bond you buy
thi- month is a life-saver sent by you
t. 40 boys in France.
This lean must not fail; it must not
c-c, dro~. Quick, eager oversub-
scription is our only possible action.
Buying a few Liberty Bonds with
money that can easily be spared will
not now be enough. We must go
deeper and lend until it hurts. We
must square the shoulders, brace the
back, grit the teeth, and life until it
strains every nerve and muscle. Ev-
cry ones money must burn as holly
with love Of country as does the fire
in some mems blood. The Nathan
Hales of today will go into the banks
and the safety deposit rooms and
count their money and securities with
eager, jealous thought Of what they
can do of heroic service, and then will
exclaim, ~ only regret that l have but
one fortune to give for my country"
Then, "this nation, under God, will
have new birth Of freedom" Then
will our armies be invincible and VIC
torious. Then will this war end with
the triumph of justice and human lib
erty, and peace will come to stay for
ever.
Now we must buy Liberty Bonds.
Now, with our own boys fighting in
the trenches, we must support them
to the utmost with our cash and our
credit. What good will our money
be to US if we allow them to lose
What shall our bank account, or our
income, or our borrowing ability pro-
! fit US if the Huns set their heels on
our shores and fasten their clutches
in our threats, as they have boosted

EQUAL RIGHTS

We have clamoured for equal suffrage
And argued for equal pay;
And now while our men are dying
Are we willing just to stay
At home on Dakota's prairies
Waiting for letters from them?
No, we'll show to the world a spirit
Equal to that Of the men.
Be our duty in field or kitchen
At desk or Office or school,
Well carry our share Of the burden
And live by the golden rule.
Well work while our brothers are
fighting,
Buy bonds to keep them supplied,
And our lives shall be stronger and
simpler
Because Of the things denied.

any, have you encouraged any.

2. How many Liberty Loan

EVERY candidate can buy at
least ONE $50 pond, if no more
now that the banks will let the
bonds be bought from them on

3. What are you doing for the
Red Cross or other organizations,
whose purpose is to win the war?
Mr.. Candidate, the day has
now come when an honest, pa
triotic voter asks himself these
questions and wants to know be-

of North Carolina, or one who
does not have the welfare of his
country at heart.
