North Dakota is going to take full
man's-sized share in this Victory
drive. 81 SsS
''The share that rightfully belongs
to North Dakota will be takenscheer-
fully. The same is true of the share
that rightfully belongs to Stutsman
county. The allotment makes no
difference. We've got six months to
pay it,
The speaker paid tribute to the
boosters present when he said:
.Stutsman county will go over the
top because the busy men the real
live wires ARE at the head Of the
organization"
Mr: Mcdowell made plea for the
boys who have been in service. "Jt
is up to the government, in fact
everyone, to see that the men who
served get their jobs back he de-
clared.
--:s'': 80: Suggests Fine Slogan.
II did the best could must be
the slogan in the coming campaign,
according to Mr.. Mcdowell. He IL
lustrated his point by stories of the
boys who saw actual service, giving
their all if necessary to the great
cause.
I did the best could must be
everyone's criterion in the Victory
Loan. Everyone must pass judgment
on whether he has done the best he
could himself" asserted the speak
er.
The northwest is in the best finan-
cial shape Of its career, according to
Mr.. Mcdowell, who backed up his
statement by figures Of the last in

have, the same president we
had one year ago stated Mr.. Nc
Dowel. 'sWe have the same General
Pershing in command in: France as
one year ago. We have the same gov
ernment at Washington that we had
one year ago. If we kept criticism
under our hats at that time, let us
do it now until the peace pact is
signed and the war debts paid.
= We've got to talk plainly. It's
q case of brass tacks now. If we
don't buy bonds we must pay taxes.
We've got to keep on doing things.
Now is no time to lay down on the
job. Let's finish our work.
The: time to build America is now.
The time to stand together is now.
We must learn the great lesson the
boys learned in the United States
cantonments and abroad man is
q man by what he does.'t
Lieut.. Wilson Speaks.
Lieut.. R. L. Wilson, OF Sioux Falls,
S. d., sent to this section Of the state
in the interests Of the Victory Loan
by the government, opened the pro-
gram. Lieut.. Wilson gave d general
summary of the ordinary trip of a
soldier from U. s. cantonment to
France, and return, laudtng the Red
Cross for its work over there.
:" Germans war debt IL 40 per cent
of les natural resources he stated.
America 'sawar debt is but four per
cent Of its natural resources.
Patriotism must not die with the
end Of the battles roar. We must
bring the boys home. They had their
lives not dollars up against the
proposition for which the United
States entered the struggle.
rs Let's carry on. Let's complete
our task. Let's make impossible a
repetition Of the horrors Of war. The
boys watched the results OF previous
loan drives. They will watch the
result Of this campaign with even
greater interest. They want to know
sif the folks at home are still back Of
them. 81 B #ss, *
