NEWSPAPERS PRAISED

The relation of the newspapers OF
the country to the Liberty Loan and
other governmental efforts is ex-
pressed in the telegram of Secretary
McAdoo to the editors assembled in
New York last week in attendance on
the meeting of the American News
paper Publishers Association.
will you be good enough to ex-
press to the members of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton, now in session, my sincere and
warm appreciation of the great ser.
vice they have rendered TO their
country by their consistent, unselfsh.
and patient support of the successive
Liberty Loans, which have been Of.
fered by the Treasury Department.
"These loans could not have sue
ceeded without the support of the
newspapers, and it gives me great
pleasure to make this acknowledge

stating Soldiers from South Dakota

to information just given out by

ANOTHER MILESTONE

This issue closes the thirty-siXth
volume of the Register. We are one
year older and We hope one year wis
or, though there may be those who
will want to dispute that proposition.
We really do know that we are one
year harder set in trying to be every
thing that an American should be. If
this war has done any one thing. it
has convinced the Register that there
Is no more desirable citizen on the
face Of the earth than the one who
tries hard to live up to the ideals of
Americanism, as the people of the ma
ton o have those sentiments con
cretely stated in our war aims and in
the utterances Of President Wilson on
international issues. We are con-
vinced that in the future the United
States is bound to make better men
and women from her citizens and the
Register is going to try and keep up
with the procession. II we should
make a mistake now and then, it will
be Of the head and not of the heart.
Our intentions will always be good,
patterned after the highest ideal of
an American citizen. This war has
opened for all Of us a future with
great possibilities for good, may we
all try and fulfill the call of a better
and bigger life as a nation and as an
individual. The Register will try to
continue improving from day to day
as it has in the past. and always give
to its subscribers more than value re-
ceived for the money they pay.
