Tho Liberty Loan Campaign and tho
War Savings movement are no more
rivals than the super-dreadnoushts and
the dsstroyers Of our navy are rivals.
The Liberty Loan and the War sav-
isss Stamps are two forms Of the same
financial operation Of the United
States government. They were author
ICED BY the same vote Of Congress and
are intended to supplement each other.
They are both Of paramount import
ance to the financing Of the war. The
Liberty Loan Campaign is primarily

necessary toward paying the expenses
of war and lending to our Allies.
The peculiar significance Of the War
Savings movement is to teach the na-
ton to save and to invest its savings
In War Savings Stamps in order that
the government may not merely get
money: but spend this msnsy fer the
support Of the army.

Liberty Cycles Wheels.

One of the outstanding features Of
the Liberty motorcycle, the standard
lied machine developed by the quar-
termaster corps for army service in
France. is the interchangeability of its
wheels, says the Popular Mechanics
Magazine In an illustrated article. A
spare wheel, to be carried on the side
car. will take the place Of any one Of
the three wheels in case of an emer-
gency. Furthermore. such a change

GREATEST RICHES NO
LONGER GOLD MINES

Pierre, 8. D., Aug. 27.-Biack Hills
folk once proudly boasted that they
had one square mile which was worth
more than all the land Sin South aDa-
kota, east Of the Missouri river. But
times have changed and he Black
Hills now are yielding only q small
fraction of the states wealth.
The stability Of gold IL the reason.
In the old days this Interchangeable value
was the Black Hills insurance policy.
At present the fixed price is the Black
Hills greatest handicap.
The state valuation last year showed
a total Of $l85, 000, 900 In productive
wealth. The valuation on gold mined
In South Dakota was placed at $7,000.-
600. Since. then the labor shortage.
the inability of the gold mines to pay
fancy wages to miners and the money
lobtainable elsewhere have hit the gold
camps.
Copper and mine operators were able
to pay higher wages when the price
Of their products was increased. The
Black Hills gold is being mined from
the low grade ores. A tremendous
tonnage Of ore must be handled n a
corresponGingly large amount Of labor
is needed. In addition to increased
salary demands. the price Of materials
required for producing gold have
scared.
There is more money I'm potatoes
than in gold right now" said a min
Ing man.
