Not an Index of Victory Loan Rate

The per cent interest rate borne

treasury, IS not to- be taken as an
index of the rate on victory liberty

itatively.
The Treasury believes, it was ex-
planned, that securities. which are not
direct obligations of the government,
must bear from Y to 4 per cent
higher interest than government notes

can be slight relationship between

NEAR-EAST CHALLENGE

"In the name of pity-give!" This
is the appeal which has gone out
from the men and women who are
now making the sorrow of the stricken
peoples of the Near East their own.
In the name of the American Com
mittee for Relief in the Near East,
formerly the Armenian & Syrian Re-
lief Committee, they have issued this
challenge.
The campaign which is just now
being promoted for a fund of $780,
100000 to be cabled as soon as it
is secured to Western Asia, now one
vast aching field of utter desolation,
starvation and death, is not merely a
collection of fund, but an insist

Lawrence Flatner, whose picture
appears above, was one of the Nor
ris boys who made the supreme sacri-
flee in France that the liberties of the
free peoples of the world might be
preserved. He was a well-known
Morris boy, and the city will honor
itself by seeing to it that in due time
fitting memorial is provided for him
and for the other Stevens county boys
who gave their lives to their
country in the great conflict now
happily closed.
The Tribune would suggest that
a brass tablet containing the names
of the boys who died in this war be
placed at the court house or at the
new armory building when it is
erected, or that in some other suit
able way, the record of their deeds
shall be preserved for all time.
Lawrence Flatner was born in
Morris November 8, 1895, the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. o. Flatner. He grew
to manhood here, and for seven years
was employed at the Lime bakery,
where he learned the trade of a bak-
er. For short time before he was
indicted into the service he worked
at Detroit, Mimi. He was called in
to the service early in the year, and
went to Camp Dodge for military
training, then to Camp Pike, then to
Camp Merritt, and left for France
the first of June. There he was
killed in action on October 5th, one
of the brave boys who gave his life
that the scourge of war might be
wiped out.
He is survived by his widowed
mother, Mrs. M. o. Flatner, who
bravely gave her consent to his en-
tering the army without making any

MINNESOTA NOTED FOR
ITS ENORMOUS CROPS
Banks First in Barley, Second in
Spring Wheat, And Third in
Oats

Minnesota is the leading barley
producing state in the United States,
the second in production of spring
wheat, third in oats, flax and potato
production, and has crept up to ninth
place as a corn producing state, it
was shown by the final crop Stats
tics for the season issued by Paul H.
Kirk, Minnesota field agent of the
department of agriculture, Fergus
Falls.
"Some misinformed PERSONS" said
the report, Giving outside of Mime
sofa may not realize her agricultural
achievements or her wonderful pos
sibilities. There may be some with
in the state who do not fully realize
her wonderful productiveness and
fertility.
"The annual report of the bureau
of crop estimates, recently issued,
shows Minnesota in 1918 ranks first
in the production of barley; the pro-
duction being 100000 bushels.
With a production of 76,465,OOO bus
hels of spring wheat this year, Min
nesota ranks second. It ranks third
in oats, 134,562,OOO bushels; fax, g.
423,OO0 bushels and in potatoes, 3d.
$4,000 bushels; with a production
Of 100000 bushels of corn, ranks
ninth.
VERY few states, if any, can show
so high standing with such a num-
Der of the more important crops"

For the honor of America we can

GOOD-LOOKING GIRLS

Such is Opinion Of S;!oti Mqirst i; Bi:yS

=: =: !dOiatry:: :':..:::;''

Mr.. Hayes, former proprietor of
the Home Restaurant, received a let
ter this week signed by seven Nor
ris boys, all with the same company
in France. Just which one wrote the
letter we cannot say, altho is was
signed first by Geo. Abel. They are
not falling in love with the French
girls according to the letter, unless
they want to make the girls of Morris
think they are being extra true to
them and try to make out there are
no good-looking girls in that country.
The letter follows:
"It has been raining here for the
last three days and we have been in
our barracks, and we often think
and talk about what we had in your
place, so Joe Vadner and came to
the conclusion and thought we had
better send you few lines.
'Well Frank, there are nine Of us
boys from Morris and we are all fat
and in good health. You know army
beans sure makes a fellow feel big
and we had all we could eat for
supper.
'I suppose nearly all the boys from
town have answered the call. 1t
seems that every time we get paper
from home there always is a list of
names for the draft. 1t must be a
common thing by this time to see
bunch of fellows go.
"Well Frank, I suppose you would
like to know a little bit about this
country. Well as far as the country
interests me, l can express it in a
few words. It's dam poor place.
and the sooner we get home the bet
ter. They are about thousand years
behind the times over here. 1t sure
took Uncle Sam to show them few
things, especially in transportation.
Gosh, we nearly died laughing when
we saw an engineer in an engine
with a horn blowing it. We wOnd-
cred what was going on and there
was something on the track about a
block away. They don't know what
a bell on an engine looks like.
well, when we were in the states
we heard a lot about the French
beauties. Well, if there is any good
looking girls over here they must
have been Gagged up until we all get
about a thousand miles out in sea
and I hope to God, they let them all
out. know darn we'll none of us
want any thing to do with them.
well Frank, it is getting late and

By JAMES H. HARD

Minneapolis. Minn., July 2.-(Special) Leaving Chicago at 6:25 D. we jcurneyed north through the beautiful truck farming country for 100 miles, then through the grain and corn fields of Illinois and Wisconsin and passing through St. Paul at the head of navi- gation of the Mississippi at Minneapolis,

 We were welcomed by the officers of

 escorted to the Headquarters of the as

 being sufficiently large to justify it we
 had special train over the Soo line
 and 1t was a very comfortable one and made good time.
 The West hotel has teen a famous one in it's day having been the build inv in which a number of historical
 conventions have been held.
 At breakfast wewere waited on by
 an old negro whom I spotted as being from the south and sure enough he had come here from Tuscumbia, Ala

 Neither side has budged thus far.
 Statements given out yesterday morning following the meeting of the strikers indicated that the shopmen are unwilling to return to work until their doubts have been removed as to whether those intrusted with our interests have functioned properly" as was set forth in their telegram to President Wilson, Director General Hines and B. M Jewell Friday.
 Railroad men here are firm in ex- pressing their belief that nothing will be cone until the men nave returned to work They reiterate that service on the whole is about normal, with probabilities of remaining in that state for some time.
 The strikers are quiet, and except for their daily meetings behind closed doors they are inactive. Small crowds of them are seen together at Machin- ists' hall, on Fourth avenue between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, where the meetings are held, all through the day. Such expressions as they nave ndQe indicate d ueleTIlllHeu intention to remain out in spite of the request to the contrary made by Presi- dent Wilson and the lead of strikers in other cities in returning to the shops.
 Alfred S Gift, superintendent of the Birmingham terminal station. fast night stated that arrival and depart ure of trains were normal all day yes- terday at the terminal.
 No train service yet has been dis continued and so far as I know ncne will be-" he said Thus far train service has not been affected seri- ously."
