WE CAN hardly pick up a paper at
w the present time without finding an
impassioned communication from Nox
Populi or Amicus Populi, demanding that
every golf course in the country be put
to the pillow. Eloquently these writer's
describe the present food shortage, the
necessity of using every square foot OF
land. the hardships OF the soldiers and
our allies, and they contrast these condi-
tions with the callous selfshness OF
any class of men who are willing to play
a game of golf on a well-kept course
when the land is needed to provide food
for the people. We are asked in the
interests Of patriotism to turn our
courses into farms and to set our little
caddcs to tlling them, and we are
assured that any man who could or
would object to such a procedure Is
nothing less than a traitor and death
by torture much too good for him.
These writer's have the very best Of
intentions. They are only too anxious
10 help by advice, or otherwise, but
they are not farmers. and they are not
qualified to give expert advice as to
soils, climate and labor

youngsters, drawing them away from
the path of nelghborhood destructiveness

But four working days remain in which to complete
the oaton Of the Third Liberty Loan and if it is to be
the great which the whole country has anticipated
everybody must help during these last days.
At the close of business Saturday night at total of ST.
1887, $50 had been subscribed The minimum Of the
loan is s3OOOOOOoO0 but the Treasury wishse subscrp
tons of $5O0O0oO0OO In order to reach the minimum
the daily subscriptions from now on must average s117
000000 to reach the maximum they must average $685.
100000.
To float dond issue of $4,000 900 means that
sales must aggregate average of about $50 for each
man, woman and child in the country most ambitious
undertaking. And yet the patriotic pepole of the United
States win be fully satisfied with nothing less than sub
scriptions for the maximum amount Even if It Is not
decided to sell bonds the entire amount of subscriptions
the moral effect Of reaching the maximum will be great
The general impression is that the most sangune ex-
pectaons viii be fulfilled by the time the sale cOses on
next Saturday night but in roder accomplish this there
must be hard and effective work during the interim All
who have bought bonds can assist by urging their friends
to buy and then setting example BY duplicating their
own subscriptions.

to be one of Colonel Bryan's best
lectures. It is one that our people
have not had the pleasure Of hearing
and we feel sure that quite a number
will take advantage of this opportu-
nifty. 1t may be many years before
our people will be afforded a chance
Of hearing this great orator and GER
tainly everyone who has not heard
him should not let this opportunity
pass. You will be amply repaid for
the trip to Newport. The good pike
road now leading the entire way will
also afford pleasant trip. In adj
dition to this Mr.. Bryan's lecture is
given in the interest of good cause
as is most always the case, therefore
you will be assisting the good people
Of our neighboring town in their ef-
forts along this line. Greeneville peo-
pie should be able to leave here at
8 o'clock and reach Newport in ample
time for the lecture.

Boy
Is HOn0red BY
Miss Wilson

I4aMoure, N. D., July s.-'Peace
hath her victories. no less renowned
than war. So finds Chauncey Page,
IIaMoure young man. who was the
recipient of the congratulations OF
Miss Wilson, daughter of President
Wilson, before a large audience in
Norfolk, Va, theater, according to q
letter just received from him by
his uncle and aunt. Mr.. and Mrs.
w. r. Ewes. Chauncey, who is now
in the service. writes:
'I was on guard duty at Norfolk
today, at the railway depot, and a.
nice, kind, lovely lady came off tha
train from Chicago, and she left her
handbag in the car. An army Off
Ger picked up the bag, and gave 1t
to me. I found the lady at the
Gladstone hotel, and returned 1t to
her. It had $25 in it. and she offered
me a. dollar. but refused it.
This afternoon went to the OPP
era house to hear Miss Wilson. the
Presidents daughter, sing. The cap
tain Of our company introduced her,
and she proved to be the same lady
had given the handbag to. She
had copied my name from my guard
tag, and given it to the captain who
called me to the stage. Miss Wilson
said she wanted to shake hands with
me. Gee. but was nervous. After
the concert Miss Wilson told the au-
dience how she met me-

ing was defended by machine guns.
Details Of the fighting have not been
received.
Intimations were given in official
quarters today that a formal am
nouncement in regard to the present
attitude OF the United States govern
ment toward Russia might bs ex-
pected shortly.
So far there has been no official
statement of any kind to throw light
upon the important decision reached
Saturday, when President Wilson
discussed the urgent appeals Of the
allies for joint action in Russia with
heads of the state, war and navy de-
partments and the chief military and
naval officials.
Officially, however, word went
forth that the definite policy OF ac-
ton had been determined upon that
would end the long period OF wait
ing that followed the rise Of the Boil
sheviki.
The understanding here has been
that for military reasons for the
present at least, there would be no
announcement Of the exact nature Of
any movement to be undertaken un-
der the new policy. The task of
working out details and deciding
what to make public and when, is
said to have been left to the supreme
war council at Paris. =
