The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1918-05-30

Today is Memorial Day and was
fittingly observed in this city this af-
ternoon. The exercises commenced at
about 1870 p. m. at the Central School
grounds when the Bottineau Military
band opened the program with a Sc
lection. After this addresses were
given, speeches made and songs sung,
thereafter the large crowd following
the band to the cemetery where Rev.
H. N. Bake Of the Lutheran church,
delivered an address in honor Of the
Civil War veterans buried there eight
in all. The Campfire girls then decor
ated the graves Of these departed
members Of the G. "A. r. and the pro
gram closed with another selection
by the band.

resolutions Of the Nonpartisan league.
Leagues Remarkable Record.

Early in the fall of 1917, after ex-
perience showed that the ocean ship
ping combine would not cooperate
with the nation, the ships were taken
over under Government control and
following that the railroads. On Oc-
tober 6 the Government inaugurated
the splendid insurance plan for our
soldiers and sailors. On March 8,
1918, it adopted the moratorium for
soldiers which protects the men from
such losses as they would normally
have if they had to close out all finan-
cial affairs quickly. Fixed prices were
set on coal. Prices on iron, steel, cop
per and several other commodities
have been somewhat limited by volun-
tary agreement. Fixed profits were
set for -four products, and the Food
Administration has been active in rum
ming down violators Of the agreement.
Packers profits have been somewhat
limited. The Government has bought
more than 9O,OOO,OOO bushels Of wheat
direct rather than through private
channels Of trade. The principle Of
price fixing zones was recognized in
the wheat prices for 1918. Mr.. Hoover
gave his support to the Baer bill pro-
viding loans to needy farmers, but
that support was not sufficient to force
the bill through Congress. The re-
cent move against profteering in
farm machinery is the latest of these
remarkable Endorsements Of the posi-
tion Of the organized farmers.
Administration on Pr0fiteering.
Back Of resolutions adopted by the
Nonpartisan league has been the fun
damental principle that there should
Be no profteering during the war.
There is every reason for believing
that President Wilson has the same
view and has done much to eliminate
il as any man could do in the face
u the tremendous opposition. He has
implored the big business element TO
put aside proAteerins and work for

the nation; he has made strong de-
mands on Congress to give him pow
er to end it. That it "still runs i'm
pudently rampant" in many branches
Of industry, as he said in his mes
sage to Congress on December A, is
due to lack Of legislation to deal
properly with it. Up to the present
our Congressman have given no rea-
son for Withholding this legislation
that would bear the light Of day. The
Senate even went so far recently as
proposing to make the discussion of
the profteering evil an indictable Of
Tense, but fortunately the Presidents
influence was sufficient to kill the
measure. Mr.. Hoover was quoted re-
Gently as declaring that no one has
the right to make more than cent
profit above his pre-war normal earn
ings.
Great Aid to President.
BY creating sentiment favorable to
certain measures essential to national
efficiency, the Nonpartisan league
farmers are rendering their country
on incalculable service. They are on
record SO that all can know where
they stand, and when the President
has had to force things through he
has had the satisfaction Of knowing
that the farmers Of the Northwest are
with him against those opposing these
measures.
Like other citizens the League
farmers have pushed individual work;
they have subscribed to the Liberty
Loans and the Red Cross; their sons
have gone into the army. But more
than this they have been citizens full
" alive to their public duties in 9
democracy. They have organized and
they have crystalized their opinions
on public questions in definite forms.
While Big Business and the kept
press have been creating sentiment
against even the most essential inter
ference with private business, the or
ganized farmers have supported every
step which war efficiency demands.

AUTO FREIGHT LINE
FROM DIES MONIES

An auto truck line is projected
at Des Moines to reach out in every
direction from the city for a distance
of 60 miles. About 400 trucks are to
be used and it is claimed that deliv-
cry of freight can be made in this
way fully 80 per cent cheaper than
by local freight trains and prompter
most of the time. The purpose
OF the projectors of the auto
freight line is not only to deliver
freight to the merchants along the
line but also to the farmers along the
road, aiding largely the department
stores of Des Moines and probably
cutting largely into the mail order
houses of Chicago. Just what eff
fees this will have upon the mer-
chants of the towns along the line
of course can only be prophesied, it
may injure it some and it may not.
The merchants will be able to get re-
duced freight rates and the farmers
along the line will likely buy more
from Des koines merchants but it
is not likely that the effect on local
town merchants will be particularly
noticeable. Public highways will
have to be improved measureably be
fore auto freighting can be made de-
'pendable. OF course better and still
better roads are coming but for con-
siderable time-many years, the i'm
provements will be made in dirt roads
and dirt roads can never be at all
times in condition over which to haul
heavy loads. Paved roads will even
tually come but such roads are many
years in the future.

ALL SOLDIERS SHOULD
RETAIN THEIR POLICIES

Soldiers and sailors who are being
discharged from service should be
impressed with the desireability OF
retaining their war risk insurance
indefinitely, Secretary Of the Treas
ury McAdoo announces.
Government war risk insurance,
the cheapest insurance that has ever
been written, can be kept in its pre-
sent form for five years after leav-
ing the service, when it will be chang
ed without physical examination, in
to other forms of insurance which
may be prescribed by regulations and
as the insured men may request.
1t Is important that the insurance
be not allowed to lapse. for once it is
lost. government war risk insur-
ance can never be regained, and ply
steal impairment as a result of SER
vice in the army and navy may pre-
vent insurance in other companies.
More than 100000 officers and
men of the army and navy are now
insured by the government with a
grand total of over 6,000,00O.00
against death or disability caused by
the war.
Soldiers and sailars will probaly be
informed before they leave the ser
vice of the steps TO be taken to con-
tinue the payment of the premiums.
In case this information is not CIV
en- them, the men or their families
should write at once to the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance of the Treas
ury Department, at Washington,
and make arrangements for the reg
ular payment of the premiums.
State Council Workers should
spread this information and advise
soldiers and sailors or their families
of the advantage of keeping the Gov
eminent insurance.

ion is rendered upon the appeal.
However, they may arrange to hear
this cause out of its regular turn.

SOME SIZED TURKEY

The White House is not the only
place where large turkeys are in
vogue for the Thanksgiving or Christ
mas dinners. Councilman and Mrs.
Harm Rice surely have some turkey
for their Christmas dinner if they are
able to keep the bird. Through the
kindness of their son, Fred Rice and
his good wife they will have about "a
pounds of good turkey for their
Christmas dinner if they can cook or
roast it all at one time.
The TURK" arrived here Monday
Afternoon from Muleshoe. Texas, and
loked more like a mule Tin size) than
a turkey Woe be unto the one who
trys to get that fowl from the Rice
premises for both Mr.. and Mrs. Rice
are going to take turns laying awake
nights until Christmas dinner is over,
so as to protect their prize. How
ever if anyone is going to be deprived
of turkey for their Christmas dinner,
Just make a social call at the Rice
home shortly before noon and you
will be assured of good meal and
plenty of turkey. If Fred has done
nothing else since going to Texas, he
has certainly made a success of rails
ing large sized turkeys.

SACRIFICE THE THING
Word Is True Definition of Patri-
otiSm
Assertion of Sergeant Davis, Speaker
in Ninth District Fourth Lib
erty Bond Campaign.

Sergeant Leslie w. Davis, who halls
from Kentucky, and is veteran of the
Philippines and Cuba and Of the
trenches in France and who is a
speaker on the war exhibit trains
touring the Ninth Federal District, is
a reticent man in private life but once
he starts talking war he brings the
Liberty Loan money out of hiding
places in a golden stream.
Davis answered the call to the
Colors in August, 1917, and went to
France in December with Co. E, 21
Engineers and saw active service all
along the line, but gas and shell-shock
temporarily wound up his fighting ca
reer and he was shipped home to
talk for Liberty Loans.
When he landed in Ninth District
headquarters, Minneapolis, he did not
act like a speaker for he simply gave
his name and credentials and said he
was ready for service. An effort was
made to get him to talk but nobody
could get rise out of him. Finally
he was asked point blank:
Davis, what do you say to a man
who could afford to buy a Liberty
bond and doesn't?"
The ire leaped to his eyes, his hair
seemed to bristle, he bounded out of
his chair and launched into an extern
poraneous Grafton which trilled every
one in district headquarters. When
Davis was through the tears were
running down his checks, he was shak-
ing like a leaf, and 1t was necessary
to lead him to a chair. No one re-
members all he said but they all
remember his last sentences:
"The true definition of patriotism
is sacrifice"

WAR SAVINGS
STAMP APPEAL

To the People of Forest County:
Iregret exceedingly the necessity
that compels me to acquaint you with
few uncomplimentary facts concern
the part this country has SO far taken
in. the War Savings Stamp campaign.
We are about to enter on the last quar-
ter of 1918 There are therefore but
three months left in which we may
efface this single demerit mark on our
otherwise splendid war record. In order
that you may realize the magnitude of
the task that is ours, permit me to
call your attention to the following
bald facts:
1. The War Savings quota for each
county has been figured on the basis of
500 per capita, maturity value Tor an
actual cash Investment of about S17)
2. On this basis the sum of $214, 260
was arrived at as this county's allot-
ment.
g. The sale of stamps in the county
up to Sept. l was only $37, 1857. 55.
4. This means that the average in
vestment per person in the county is
only So SO.
5. In as much as quite large num-
Der of people in the county bought
several hundred dollars worth, it is
conclusive evidence that many have
not bought single stamp.
6. And finally, Forest County ranks
seventieth in the seventy-one counties
in Wisconsin in it's War Savings Stamp
purchases per capita.
That, in brief, is our unenviable situ-
alton. We must, we shall improve
campaign will soon be on. Some will
excuse themselves from buying bonds
on the plea of insufficient means. Let
them buy few stamps. This they
surely can do. This they will do if
they hope to claim kinship with those
redblooded Americans who are daily
exposing themselves to the perils and
hazards of the battlefields of France
for the security of our lives and llDer-
ties.
War Savings Stamps are sold to buy
food and clothing and equipment for
our proud and dauntless fighting men.
Do you approve the gallant fight they
are making? Do you count their vic
tories, bought with blood, your gain?
If you do, applaud by buying War Saw
ings Stamps Go to your nearest post
office today and buy till you're ''broke."
You will thereby help our boys lick the
Huns, hasten the return Of peace to
this war wasted earth and help Forest
County climb to an honorable place in
! that'list of seventy-one counties where
it now ranks last but one.

War Savings Stamp Com. for Forest Co.

LIBERTY LOAN
DRIVE SATURDAY

The three weeks beginning this Sat-
urday and ending Oct 19 will witness
the severest test of Forest County pat
riotism. Between those dates the Unit
ed States Treasury hopes to raise the
largest single war loan in the history
of the world
Though vast the sum it is wholly dis
proportionate to the value of the prin-
ciples at stake. Democracy, harrassed
beyond the limit of it's patience, has
accepted the gauge of battle with bru
tai, ruthless autocracy.. 1t is death
grapple. Either free governments
must perish or autocracy must die.
America has pledged her last re-
source that governments of the people
for the people by the people shall not
perish from the earth. To accomplish
this will cost lives and money. But to
put an end to Hun terrorism, exempt
fled in the butchery of innocent women
and children and the disregard of all
civilized conventions, is worth both
without limit.
Therefore when solicitors ask the
people of Forest county during the
next few days to subscribe for Fourth
Liberty Loan bonds, they will expect
ready and generous response. 1t will
mean self-denial to buy to our limit,
but this is war.

Chairman of Publicity.

WATCH YOURSELF!

Do you need a policeman to make
you keep within your 2-pound
sugar allotment?
Will Hoover be obliged to spend
$5,000,000 and hire 100000 men to
RATION sugar in the United
States?
Or will you back up Hoover's
belief in Democracy and voluntari-
ly limit yourself to one-half pound
a week?
Hoover knows exactly how much
sugar we will have. He has figured
out the amount that must go to our
soldiers, to the Allies and to indi-
vidual Americans. If you take
more than your own portion, you
are stealing from someone else
who will have to go without.
Would you be pointed out after
the war as "He took sugar from

your family's or your neighbor's

CUT YOUR COAL BILL In HALF

BY using just one or two suggestions,
advocated by the United States Fuel
Administration for saving coal, one
man has proved that not only coal
but dollars can be saved A consumer
in Philadelphia has written to the fuel
administration telling of his experience
His house was surrounded on the north
ern and western exposures by open
fields. BY covering his heater pipes
with asbestos and having all of the
doors and windows weather stripped,
he was able to keep his ten room house
at a sensible temperature on total
consumption of coal for the winter OF
little more than four tons.
His neighbor, having a house of the
same size, declined to use the same
methods, and his aggregate consump-
ton of coal for the winter was four
teen tons. VIII not this be an added
incentive to all householders to cover
their pipes and weather-strip all doors
and windows?
