DRASTIC, BUT EFFECTIVE.

The publicity method of bringing
Delta county slackers to time is rath-
er drastic; no one will attempt to
deny that fact But when penny
pinching tight-wads refuse to give ac-
cording to their means to the support
of war causes, they need to be
brought to time, and the methods used
for bringing them TO time is a mere
matter OF detail, and, considering the
cause and the necessity. no one should
be squeamish, nor should they waste
any sympathy upon the persons who
make Il necessary to use the third
degree methods.
One Delta county clacker whose
name appeared in print last week did
not waste any time in getting to Els
canada TO square himself, and he went
home shouting for the United States,
leaving behind bid for the position
OF chairman for his township in the
next Liberty loan drive.
This is the fight Of every American
and each one should be willing and
glad to do his part. II any aren't will
ing-well, let's make them do 1t, any
way, and let's not haggle over the
means which It may be necessary "a
employ in the making process.-Es-

Active CanvassIne VIII Commence on
April 6 Under Neely's Supervision.


The great battle raging In France
ought to awaken Crystal Falls peo-
pie 10 a realization OF the fact that
we need TO stretch ourselves to the
last point to win this war and save
America from the fate OF Russis'
Belgium, Roumania and other free
nations that are feeling the heel OF
the oppressor.
Only the young are fit for the bat
tie front but the old men. the women
and the children can do just as much
here al home as their young men can
do in France. 1t takes dozen sup
porters for every soldier at the front
Are you one of those supporters?
One OF the greatest necessities for
the winning OF this war Is money. The
United States must have money, and
she must get it through the sale CT
bonds. Here is where you can enter
the ranks as volunteer and do great
er service than you could possibly do
in France.
On April 9th the third Liberty Loan
drive will open all over the United
States. That is the anniversary of
the declaration of war upon Germany
On that day an army OF loyal men
and women will start out all over
these United States to gather In the
money needed to keep our boys at tn :
front. Will you enlist in this army?
II so advise Mr.. b. G. Nicely who has
in hand the arrangements for the
drive on this side OF the county. He
needs your assistance to make this
canvass a success.
In other columns OF this issue may
be found special advertising contrib
uted by the merchants OF the city ask
ing that you take up the question oil
fixing in your own minds how much
YOU can invest in bonds this time.
The total asked for has been fixed
at $4,000, 100000 and to make ap
that amount Iron county will have to
take about 100000 worth OF these
bonds.
WILL YOU HELP MAKE THAT
MARK?
The list OF those having charge oi
the drive in Iron county is as fol
lows:
County Executive Committee.

Induced to become candidate he has
been chosen by overwhelming majori-
ties, as was the case a few years ago
when he consented for one year to be
a supervisor from the third ward.
Udd Old Supervisor.
j. Il. Udd is one OF Crystal Falls
oldest residents and is a taxpayer. He
has been a supervisor for a number
OF years from the Second ward. and is
one OF the best posted officials in the
county on tax matters. He has fought
valiantly for a mcIe equitable dis
tribution OF the tax burden in Crystal
Falls and can be derended upon 10
be fair in his disposition of the tax
assessments.
JAS. X. Flood, Pioneer Citizen.
Mr.. James II. Flood, another can
didate for supervisor, Is one of the
very oldest residents o. he place and
heavy taxpayer OF the city. He
practically grew up with Crystal
Falls, coming cie when the town was
in its infancy. He has been engaged
in the confectionery business for many
years and Is vel, informed upon Crys-
tai Falls real estate.
Mr.. Flood has SHE'D from holding Of
flee, only once I'm the past consentine
TO be a candidate for any office, and
that was for supervisor from the sec.
ond ward, a position that he held foE
one term and refused to be a candi'
date for a second. although he could
have had 1t unopposed.
He is well versed in tax matters
and has been one of the most persist
ent workers for equitable assessment
on city property.
Chas. L. Robinson.
Mr.. Robinson, the third member o
the supervisor trio is not an old resi-
dent OF the city. but he came here &
engage in business and has been
consistent business man and taxpay
er ever since he came here. He own
the Lockwood House and is booste
for Crystal Falls at all times.
Mr.. Robinson has had an excellen
business experience and is well vers
ed in property values, fact that vii
make him valuable member of tn
board OF review.
One significant fact is that the can
didates for Office under the charte
are all taxpayers. This fact alon
should make them interested in pro
viding the very best system OF govern
ment for Crystal Falls that can b
devised.
