long as these leaders anticipated, hun
dreds Of thousands of American youths
and millions more of their allies would
have been called upon to pay the SUI

That they were not forced to give
their lives is in no small measure due
to our governments preparations to
crush the enemy completely. The In
dustry as we'll as the man power Of
the nation was called into the govern

staff saw meant complete humiliation
for their forces If they fought on. SO

truth was that the cold had simply

diphtheria is prevalent you should
take him out of school and keep him

we were turning out about 10000 air

German spies found this out. Ger
man spies knew that the U-boat had
failed because Of the barrage Of mines
that the British and American navies
had strung across the North sea. Ger
man spies sent word to the general
staff that in spite Of their best efforts
to check the Americans at the home
base. they were outgeneraled. SO the
German staff learned that the Ameri-
cans had thrown their unlimited re-
sources into the scales with the allies,
and the German staff turned yellow"
and quit.
That mighty preparation of which
the above is but fragmentary tale, is
the reason why the Victory Liberty
loan is the last of the war loans. Had
the war gone on there would have
been q fifth, sixth, a seventh. an

hordes had been crushed and sent back
into the heart of the fatherland. The
need for these was eliminated by the

EUROPE TO SEND
GREAT MEN HERE TO HELP
Many Prominent Military Leaders and
Statement Of Allied Countries Will
Come Over to Speak for
Victory Loan.

Fresh interest is contributed to the
coming Victory Liberty loan cam
paign by the announcement that many
eminent military leaders and states
men will come here from Europe to
speak for the loan.
1t is reported that the great inter-
est and support evinced by the alien
population in previous loan drives Is
responsible for the decision resulting
in the speakers being brought here.
Felix J. Streyckmans, federal re-
serve director for the Liberty loan for
eign language division in the Seventh
district, on his return to the district
headquarters in Chicago, after confer
ences in Washington, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
''Many prominent Europeans will
visit this country during the coming
loan drive and bring the message Of
victory to their Americanized country
men. l regret that cannot announce
names at this time, but they will come
through Washington after acceptances
have been received. The invitations
are being sent through the state de-
partment. working in conjunction with
the diplomatic representatives.
1--WE want these foreign men Of af-
fairs to visit us not only as an express
sion of thanks to our own foreign-born
for their support during the war. but
so that they get first-hand in
formation from their own countrymen
as to the changes that have been occa-
stoned in their native lands by the
world war"
While Mr.. Streyckmans was noncom-
initial regarding the identity of expect
ed visitors, it was learned from an au-
thentic source that some of them have
achieved worldwide recognition in af-
fairs Of state. while others have'leaped
into prominence by their spectacular
participation In the great war.

STATE OWNED FLOUR
MILL IN NORTH DAKOTA

BISMARCK, N. D.-Steps toward
providing North Dakota with its first
state-o owned flour mill under the Non
partisan League program were taken
here recently when the Industrial
commission, which will direct the op-
Grafton of all state owned industries
under the league plan, authorized J.
A. McGovern, manager of the Mill
and Elevator association, to make
contract for the purchase of the flour
mill at Drake The mill has a capa-
city of $50 barrels day.
Mr. McGovern also was instructed
to plan for the establishment of the
states terminal flour mill and ele-
vator, construction of which is ex-
pected to be started next spring.
The industrial commission plans to
use the Drake mill as the basis for the
state organization, according to Oliver
S. Morris, secretary of the industrial
commission, and to train millers for
state work.
Purchase of the Drake mill will be
made when the industrial commission
approves Mr.. McGovern's contract.

workingmen, it is said, are compelled
often to rise before daylight, and pre-
pare breakfase by artificial light.
Some labor unions say the hours
added daylight at the end of the day
does not compensate for the loss of
sleep and early morning hardships of
the advanced clock time.
Rural authorities object to the law
because, they say, it is a hardship
both on pupils and teachers, who often
have to walk from one to six miles to
school and must arise before daylight
to arrive on time.
Objections of town and city officials
are varied Some towns in agricul-
tural regions, observing farmers op-
position to the law have refused to
adjust their clocks. Maintenance of
the "old" time in such towns causes
confusion in meeting trains and other
civic affairs. Other municipalities,
in the middle western time
zone, passed ordances advancing
time pieces an hour, adopting time
standars of the eastern zone, before
the daylight saving law was enacted.
The law, therefore, required these
central time" cities to advance their
time pieces still another hour. Some
observed and some declined to OBJ
cerve the law, making for further
confusion.
To the argument Of champions of
The daylight law, that it makes for
actual economic gain, in savings of
light and fuel, opponents of the law
contend that really an economic loss
levelops-that farm production is
.urtailed and that while fuel and light
ire saved in cities there is a greater
oss on farms, where lamps in the
ZONES and lanterns in the barns must
,e used an hour earlier.
