mittee of one hundred" and all other

Commercial club this noon. that
"When the boys marched away we
promised that If we couldn't. fight we
would finance. That promissory note
Is now coming due, and We must show

Ting the loan across"
After Mr. Deutsch had fred the
opening CUR OF the campaign. D. v.
Moore. city chairman, announced that
the drive was open inc would not
close until Grand Forks went over the
iop.
After a preliminary round of short
stories, Mr.. Deutsch told a bit of his
early life, how, although his mother
was German and his father Hun
garian, he had lived in Belgium. and
later in America and in spite Of his
parental teachings had favored the
cause Of the Allies from the start. He
spoke eloquently and practically on
"Americanism," and appealed to his
audience in such a remarkably diff

he carried every point home. In
speaking of the necessity of Ameri-

There lis no other note which will
pay the guaranteed principal and in
terest every time: IL you wish proof,
look over the record OF every other
government bond ever issued. The
Canadian government war bonds are
now selling at 104 and los, four and
fve cents above par.
The loan will not be financed by
banks, trust companies and capital
lists, but by the American people, who
will not have it said that they broke
their solemn promise to the boys.
Some of them, those that were in the
Argonne forest, stayed there four
days, without food or water, and with
Just what snatches Of sleep they could
find. but they stuck until they had
cleaned the wood. Can't we do as
well? Will we dishonor the flag that
they fought under by breaking that
promise? True. the great struggle of
today is not military; it is the fight
the bible tells of where it speaks of
~selfishness, and men and false gods
These things have no place in the
American heart; it is the things of
spirit, of sacrifice, that make life
worth living. Let's show the govern
ment what it is to adhere to the
square deal, thus only can we do the
right honor to those who lie dead in
France, for whose sacrices we are
thankful. We must make good TO
them in the country for which they
died.
g.. Loan Not Burden.
1.-THE loan, instead of being a bur-
den. comes as a rejoicing to the
States: it will give us a
chance to say to the boys, we are
making good our promise to you, and
God and country. Make it a sacri-
flee, and not think of it as a sacrifice.
but as a joy. The loan isn't being put
over as much for the dollars as for
Americanism. We can borrow money,
all we need, from Other nations, but
we need Americanism. Lack of it
was the reason for so much rotten
politics, social life, II all other
rotten things, before the war. The
only time we remembered our pa
triotism was on the Fourth of July.
Then we got out the bands, pulled a
few p%infeathers from the eagles tail,
listened to some addresses, and said:
We're Americans Are we going
back to all that? Can we break the
promise to the boys. that we would
share a part of the fight to make this
a decent and fit place to live in?
We'll give the boys their bands.
we'll give them flags, and jobs. and
above all ~Americanism, n hundred
per CEN pure. AS our fathers and
forefathers fought in '76 and 81 and
'9s, gave their lives and blood and
their all, hat the United States of
America might live, and their promise
has been fulfilled, so it will be full
filled this time"
All Are Drafted.
Following Mr.. Deutsch's speech,
Mr.. Moore announced that although
Everybody else has o n back on
the selective service system, we have
not, and every man here is drafted to
put the loan over, and not to stop
until it has been DONE"
A session of fifteen members of
the committee will meet late this
afternoon to discuss the n in.
the loan will be conducted.

CAR FARE CASE NOT
YET SET FOR HEARING

The petition Of the receivers of the
Memphis Street railway to the state
railroad commission, FOR an order per-
hitting them to charge Z cents for an
ordinary street car fare in Memphis,
with l cent additional for each transfer
given, has not yet been set for hearing,
Henry. j. Livingston, city. attorney,
who VIII appear before the State COM
mission, has been assured by b. A. En-
loe, chairman of the state board, tina
the city will be notified and permitted
to become a party to the hearing. al
though the petition filed with the state
board does not even mention the fact
that the Memphis Street railway holds
a franchise from the city OF Memphis,
a part Of which franchise is that the
company shall never charge more than
a Scent fare,
IN the litigation during the Malone
administration, when Mayor Malone
sought to compel the sale of street rail-
way tickets at a reduced fare, it was
held by the courts thai the conditions
Of the franchise were such that the
city could not compel the street car
company to charge a less fare than 5
cents. Mr.. Livingston, among other
arguments against an Increase in fare,
will try to show that II Is a poor rule
that works only on way.
Whether tn entire subject of the
actual cost of the street railway S ste n
is to be gone into, the value Of the
stock issued at the time of the con-
soiidation Of various companies now
included in the system, and whether
that stock represented tangible value
or water, has not been determined.
That question may have to be decided
by the state railroad commission.
Mr.. Enloe assured Mr.. Livingston
that the hearing will not be held until
he has had ample time to prepare his
case for the city.

being Love and Kisses which is the
ute Of Il musical comedy of the tabloid

mat the chorus contains a half dozen

a background for the comedy provided
by Eddie Ryan and Jack Collins, but

MT OF the bill. Howard is a pianist
who comes before his audience in a
natural manner and goes through his
repertoire to the tune of several out
bursts OF applause. He is not Only a
good pianist but an all-around enter
tainer.
Others on the bill are the Three Lees,

manner, and Yule and Foster, who pro-
wac music and dances of an extended
variety.
