SOLDIERS KNOW BEST
Can Tell Why All Should Sub
scribe to Victory Loan.
Bearing Marks Of Great War They
Can Explain Need OF Raising
Of Billions.

Discharged soldiers bearing the
marks OF the Great War that they re
ceived In France will tell people OF
the Ninth Federal Reserve district
why everyone should subscribe TO the
Victory Liberty Loan that Will be
staged I'm April.
In every county throughout the dis
trict the men who served their coun-
try so well are being listed and scores
have agreed willingly to speak at LIB
erty Loan rallies wherever their voices
may be needed to further the sale OF
bonds
Nothing VIII bring the war to the
people OF the district like the living
evidences OF modern warfare" said A.
r.. Rogers, chairman OF the Ninth Dis.
tricr War Loan organization. in out
lining the plans for the speaking cam.
paign.
mo one like the returned soldier
can explain the need OF raising the
five billion dollars that our govern
ment is asking for. These men who
have seen the desolation OF France;
who have tasted the poisonous gases
that the Germans used; who have
starved and fought and suffered that
democracy might not perish from the
earth--these men will spur the peo-
pie OF the northwest to the realization
OF the Immediate necessity OF finish
ing the job that the brave American
boys started"
The empty sleeve, the crutches. the
artificial eyes and limbs, the manned
bodies and the dishgured faces that
were received in the cause OF right
will be everywhere throughout the
Ninth District during the coming
drive.
The man who refuses TO buy bonds
will have to give HIS reasons to the
men who fought the battles OF this
country.

MAKE JOINT SWEAR-OFF

SONG Pieces Of Good Advice as Pos

Thrift Campaigns.

Here are some OF the pieces OF good
advice l.. B. Franklin, National Di-
rector OF the War Loan Organization.
has given to War Savings Stamp
workers as possible keynotes for thrift
campaigns:
We do not want TO make a ma
tion OF tightwads but we do want
to eliminate the darn fool waste.
Spend wisely and save your
money so that you can go into
business for yourself.
Spend less and pay off the mort.
gage or send your boy TO college.
Put little Joy into saving.
A French housewife can feed
family on what an American
family wastes.
when a man 'swears off smoking
or ice cream or something like that

resolution II he has fellow resolver,
someone else who is undergoing tho
same denial with the same purpose in
mind" Mr.. Franklin said. 1T is a
Joint 'swearoff.' This Is the thing
We want the American people TO do,
make Joint swearoff of foolish spend
ing. And OF course we want them TO
invest the saving In War Savings
Stamps.
I'VE are going TO get the Joint
swearoff idea through the War Saw
ings societies. Each member OF so
ciety will be War Savings Stamp
buyer and each will want TO hold up
his end, especially when he knows
that every other member Is doing his
share"
This mild compulsion by public
opinion as II exists I'm the society will

Franklin said the quota system OF

GERMAN BORN PATRIOT
Marietta Man Largest Holder OF
U. S. Securities in His County.
Declares Country Can Have Whatever
He Has Whenever u De-
sires II.

If William Hohenzollern depended
on Americans OF German birth TO do
his work in this country he would
never have picked August Heckert OF
Marietta. Mimi
Although born in Germany, Mr..
Heckert stands today as the prize
practical patriot OF Lac Qui Parle
county with $4,000 to his credit in
Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps
and Certificates OF Indebtedness. In
addition to the cash investments, he
has loaned his 24-year-old son to
Uncle Sam and the youth is serving
his country on the dreadnaught kear-
sarge. Mr.. and Mrs. Heckert have also
toiled increasingly for the various war
activities in their home town and
county.
Chairman j H. Hayden OF Madison
Is authority for the statement that
the Heckerts are the largest holders
OF government securities in Lac Qui
Parle county.
And Mr. Heckert has not been silent
concerning the prosecution OF the war.
He has won himself host OF enemies
among old neighbors for the things
he has told them about their attitude
toward the land OF their adoption.
The elimination came recently
when Ferdinand Kahlbrenner. also OF
Marietta. brought suit for $4,000
against the prize patriot OF the
county The suit followed signed
article In a Marietta paper. in which
Mr.. Heckert aired his views regarding
the refusal OF many OF his townsmen
TO buy Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps. The jury did not deliberate
long over the evidence and returned a
verdict for Mr.. Heckert.
The land OF my adoption is the
only land that | recognize" Mr. Heck
ert said in telling his experiences TO
A. X. Rogers. Chairman OF the Ninth
District War Loan Organization. This
| government has made II possible for
me to succeed in business and what
ever | have. the United States can
| have whenever II desires II. The jury
that gave me the verdict apparently
| thought that O man who bought fiye
or six times as many Liberty Bonds as
his allotment called for, could not be
very disloyal"
The case of MIR. Heckert." said
Chairman Rogers. "is proof that the
majority OF American citizens OF Ger
man birth are loyal TO their adopted
country"
Chairman Hayden OF Madison de,
clared that the story OF Mr.. Heckert
should have the greatest circulation in
the coming Victory Loan campaign.
THE story should bring shame TO
many persons who have been evading
their full duty 10 their country" Mr..
Hayden said.

She is Mrs. Helen Grannis, formerly
