Conventions always bring much
business to city. The Northwest Ed
ucation convention held in Minot last
week attracted thousand teachers to
our city. Presenting that they spent
on an average of $50 while in this
city, it meant an increased business
for the hotels and merchants Of $780,
OOO AS they all invested more or
less in their spring toggery, it is
likely that they spent on an average
more than $50 each. Minot merchants
declare that they did record-break-
ing business last week, some stores
exceeding their best previous days
by double. Minot is hospitable city
and we like strangers to come here
and mingle with us. We also apprec-
late the money that they leave here.

WILL MlNOT FAIL?

Minot's record so far in the Fifth
Victory Loan is very disappointing
and Robert Graham, chairman of the
Minot committees, declares that our
quota simply must be met. Minot had
always done so we'll in the four prev
ious loans that it would be shame if
we should fall down on this one. With
our quota at $27O,OOO, we have sub
scribed only $4,000 to date. We do
not dare to fail. Minot has never fail
ed in anything yet and it is safe to
say that she will make good in this
loan yet. But how are we going to
do it? We must simply all get busy
and do our part. We who subscribed
for $50 bonds must buy two or three
more and we who subscribed for $3.50
will have to double our subscriptions.
And we who didn't come thru at all,
will simply have to get busy and sub
scribe. Mr.. Graham says that there
are not more than half as many sub.
scriptions for the Fifth loan as for the
Fourth. Is Minot patriotic only when
we are at war? We must finish the
job that we set out to do. Our SOL
diers gave their lives and worked like
Trojans to beat the Huns. Are we
going to be able to look our Soldiers
in the face when they return? Sure,
we'll finish the job. The committees
have secured the city. Everyone haa
been given an, opportunity to sub
scribe. If you want to do your part,
you don't have to wait for commit.
tee to see you again. You can call
at your bank and add to your sub
scription or if the committee failed to
see you, you should be patriotic
enough to call on your banker and
hand in your subscription.

make the appointment Of one official
