SAID EVERY SOLDIER
KEPT TRENCH SHOVEL
Engineer After Viewing Battlefield
Makes Interesting Commentary
Gould Find Everything
But One Trophy. He
Wanted.

An eminent engineer recently re-
turned to Washington after traversing
on government business much OF the
western front. He went over the bat
tie area before the army salvage corps
had removed the signs Of conflict.
81 saw pretty nearly everything
there" he said. Lots of rifles, bayo-
nets, machine guns, helmets, soldiers
packs. water bottles, and even hand
kerchiefs and socks all over the
ground
81 didn't want any of them. Be-
cause I'm an engineer, I'd set my
heart on a trench shovel. I'd seen
thousands of them back of the lines,
but I wanted one from the battlefield.
I looked and looked, without finding
one lying around loose. Wherever
there was a shovel, the man who'd
used it was lying beside it.
"Then l understood. The soldier.
dislodged from a position, might loose
his pack, his extra clothing, even his
rife, in his escape, but he never let
go his shovel.
"He knew he had to have it, to dig
himself in again.
War Savings Stamps are trench
shovels for digging in against adver-
sity.

SOLVING WAR PROBLEMS
TAUGHT PEOPLE THRIFT
Gained Through Lesson Of Saw
ing Learned Last Year.

Fellowship in the fastest growing
society in the United States is open
to everybody. In every state in the
union it is gaining members daily,
sinee it is society in which the good
of the country is served as well as
that of the individual.
From all walks Of life it's millions Of
ever Increasing members come. No
one can be member and keep the
nledge he takes without receiving
lasting benefits and aiding the United
States of America to maintain the
proud place it has already attained
the peer Of any nation that has ever
existed.
When the treasury department OF
the United States began the attempt
10 solve the financial problems that be-
set the country as it was entering the
war, the United States was debtor
nation. Only on understanding that
it is the greatest creditor nation in
the world today can one realize what
m achievement has been won. With
nut a direct tax on the people money
has been raised to pay for the sue
cessful termination Of the. war, and
this cost more than $4,000, 600, 600.
Beside this enormous amount OF
money there is now more money in
the banks than before.
This, of course, was done through
The Liberty Loans, principally. But
these loans have ceased, and those at
the head of the nations finances are
seeking to clinch the lesson already
learned, and are urging the perma-
nent esta ablishment Of War Savings
Societies.
The Treasury Department is doing
\ service for the small investor i'll ac-
eepting so small an amount as twenty
i've cents and giving the same securi-
" that the holder of $4,000 Liberty
Bond enjoys-the entire resources OF
the United States of America. Could
anything be more safe?

Twin CITY

Boating Enthusiasts Of St.

ed With The Activity Being
Displayed By The Devils

Dreams of a northwestern regatta

near future began to materialize this
morning when j. j. Mulamphy, re-
turning from the Twin Cities where
he had interviewed members of the
Minnesota Boat club, gave out the
substance Of his conference with Mr..
E. H. Davidson, St. Paul capitalist
and active head of the Sanity City
carsmen.
"St. Paul boating enthusiasts are
absolutely back of u.s." said Mr.. NAL
amply. "They have been boosting
the rowing game down there for
years, but have never been able to
stir up any enthusiasms in North Da-
kota. When I mentioned the fact that
we were contemplating the building
up Of a crew or two, Mr.. Davidson
came out solid for us.
"Among other things, he offered to
take up the matter Of q couple Of
four-oared shells with various boat
ing clubs thruout the country, assur-
ing US that he could get them for a
bargain. He is now working, on the
deal. Mr.. Davidson also, laid stress
on the foundation Of the rowing phase
OF the club, expressing the belief that

President Mack Traynor, today
wrote Mr.. Davidson relative to shells
and if they can be had at the price
the St. Paul man suggested, they
will be brought here at once. The
club is now figuring on a couple of

only, but other will be brought in
later if the sport meets with the an

While nothing could be done this
year from a northwestern competit-

be laid for some real sport next sum-
