AT LESS THAN half
FIRST NATIONAL 1fll)SA BANK o I'll KILL
DEER BUYs $4,000 NOTES FOR
$1,000. 20 ss'e

shafter, N. D, Eel. 1.-THE Shat
ter Record in It's issue Of Feb: 7th,
prints the following interesting ar
ticle:
ut is reported here on good author
ity that A. G. Townley, creator of the
Consumers United Stores company,
sold recently to the First National
bank of Killdeer, N. d., some $4,000
worth of 800 notes, given by farmers
for the privilege of doing business at
the Townley stores, for $1,000 or at
a discount of 60 per cent. It is ru-
mored also that he made similar deals
with other banks.
"At least half of these 200 notes are
considered to be good, bankable paper.
1t is said these will promptly be TAX
en- care of at maturity and will net
the bank a profit of at least $4,000.
Many Of the remaining 100 notes will
be granted an extension and will final
ly be paid with interest; some will be
placed in judgment and collected with
added costs; and a few, it is said, will
never be collected. Considerable spec
ulation is rife as to whether the max
ers of the latter will enjoy equal
privileges in trading at the Townley
stores with the men who are furnish
ing the promoter with the funds to
launch this gigantic trust.
"Some are beginning to realize that
they have contributed to a fund which
will doubtless place Townley beyond
all dreams of avarice and are limiting
at a desire to have their none re-
turned. The fact thai Townley. has
filed a petition in bankruptcy has
made these men suspicious. They
argue that Townley would not go to
the trouble to divirce his debts unless
he intended to acquire wealth in his
W name. Their notes are now in
the hands of a third party, however,
and the chances for ever getting any
of their money back are slight. The
notes were no doubt Endorsed in such
terms as to negative company liabili-
ty and in order to recover. it would
be necessary to prove that the present
holder had notice of irfrmity in the
instrument"

Within a few months a great spring
drive will be launched throughout the
length and breadth Of North Dakota.
The army putting across" this drive
will be a volunteer army Of patriotic
men, women and children. The inn
plements of warfare will be plows,
spades, hoes and rakes. The object
will be to subdue Mother Earth and
harness her in cooperation with the
air, rain and sunshine for the pur-
pose of producing many times the
amount of vegetables that were ever
grown in the state of. North Dakota.
These vegetables will replace millions
of pounds of wheat, meat and other
food, which we can ship to our SOL
diers and allies Furthermore, these
vegetables represent ~ths,saving Of our
spare minutes, whichy when invested
in war gardens, are On q par in value
to our country, with the nickels, and
dimes with which we buy war saw
ings stamps.
Now is the time to begin prepare
lions for this spring drive. A plan OF
the garden should be made. This
should provide for a continuous sup
ply of variety Of vegetables thruont
the entire summer and q surplus for
canning and winter storing. AS gar
den seed will beascarce this year, any
good seed that has been carried over
should he used; but before deciding
20 use old seed, make a termination
test by placing 4 sample between two
moist blotters. After the garden plan
has been made and the old seed test
ed, the entire seed order should be
made out and sent in so as to: insure
prompt receipt, which will be impos.
sible if ordered during the early
spring.
If you do not have enough ground
for a good garden, look around for q
good sight and arrange to rent it SO
you will be ready when spring comes
Also start your vegetable plants in q
few weeks or arrange to have them
grown for you by gardner or green
house man..
Let everyone join this movement
and produce food.-H. o. Werner, N,

STAMPS made a wonderful help
to the government in supplying mon.
ey with which to equip the soldiers in
the field and get them over to the
Hindenburg line, and through it to
Berlin-and peace.
"The state and county war savings
committees have been splendidly
helped in the past month by liberal.
minded and patriotic business men
tn. ough the donation of considerable
space in the local newspapers for ad.
vertising the sale of War Savings and
Thrift Stamps" says w. F. Gushing,
Publicity Manager for the State Com.
mtttee. THE. returns already show
thte effectiveness of these splendid
contributions to the cause" continued
Mr.. Gushing, "for it is estimated by
the state committee that nearly .
million dollars worth Of stamps have
been sold In North Dakota during the
first month Of the campaign, which
would not have been possible. without
this donated publicity, together with
the loyal. support of the newspapers
n hard work of the county com,
mittees."
The lesson Of thrift carried by
these "baby bonds" of the Govern.
ment is gaining a wonderful hold on
the people. The impulse to save for
ones own benefit is greatly stimu,
lated IN the patriotic American mind
by the knowledge that these savings,
loaned to Uncle Sam, will help win
the war and bring peace to the world.
In buying War Savings Stamps, rich
and. poor, fathers, mothers, SOM and
daughters, can each help as he or she
Is able, and by SO doing feel they are
a part of the home army of defense
n sharers in the joys Of service.
