NO BROWN TASTE
70 BISMARCK'S
BIGGEST WEEK
Review of Six Days of Loyalty
Festival Reveals no Cause
for Regret

Bismarck has emerged from it's big
week pleased to discover that there is
no morning-after taste. The week
which brought the capital city the
biggest crowds in it's history, brought
no strong arm men, mo second story
workers, no woman Of the underworld.
no pick-pockets and no bootleggers,
The week passed without a single po-
lice call or one complaint. The cos,
Of the big week for special police was
$50, less than ordinarily is paid for
d single circus day.
Big Chief Chris Martineson gives
the Bismarck home guard credit for
this remarkable record. The guards
men served entirely without pay, and
they were on duty from early in the
morning until late at night. In addi-
ton to patroling the streets, they act
ed as traffic cops and information bu'
reaus. They helped aged people and
young folks; mothered stray babies,
and reunited separated families. The
khaki uniform was in evidence every
where, and wherever it was seen some
loyal home guardsman was busy
helping to make the big week sue
cess.
Chief Martineson believes no city In
America can duplicate Bismarck's rec
ord for Loyalty Week. The city
handled at least $4,000 people during
the week without a single mishap or
one instance. of petty crimes or drunk
enness. and the big chief says it
couldn't possibly have been done with
out the home guard.
