AT VICTORY RALLY
VIII Be Staged in Front Of

I, Building
PUBLIC IS INVITED
Everybody Should Purchase Bonds
Read What julius Roscnwald Says
Regarding Bonds.

1t is expected that there will be a
general turnout of citizens at the open
air meeting in front of the Young
Peoples building ait O'Clock tonight
in the interest tf the Victory Lean
On this occasion there will be band
concert by the 2Srd Infantry Band
Of Fifty pieces.
| L. i. Rowe will deliver an address.
Az. Rowe is assistant acting secre-
tary of the Treasury and is an able
speaker.
The public is cordially invited to
attend. The affair will be under the
auspices Of the loca! Victory Loan
Committee.
Reports received indicate that
there is considerable increase in the
purchase of Wictory Bonds.
Alexarlaria, hcwever, is long way
from reaching the top and every citi-
zen is asked to buy all Of the bonds
possible in order to have Alexandria
reach her allotment Of S554,S00 By
Saturday nighIs. They pay four and
three quarters per cent.
If you are still undecided about
bonds, and value the opinion of an
able business man, you will be in
tcresited in what Julius RosenwaM
said last night. He, by the way
subscribed fer million of thase
bonds as he has for a million of
every issue thus far. 1t makes lit
tie difference to him, apparently,
whether they go up or down; if they
SO up, he will give the money away,
which is his habit; and if they go
down, he won't miss the money.
FTe told his audience last night,
as he has been telling his own en-
ployes ard others, who cannct af-
ford to lose any money, that the
bonds now offered for sale cannot
possibly be worth less than par at
any time. The probability is tina: in
few weeks there win be profit in
every bond bought. He explained
this mater thoroughly; his WORD IS
good, and SO is his business judgme Mt
1t should not be necessary TO pr5ve
that these bonds will not, temporarily
drop cne dollar or two. They are a
first mortgage on this Government.
They Will be paid in five years in full
with interest. And they are the best
investment IN the world.
You saw, perhaps, one of the
parades of crippled soldiers, n,en
walking, I;mping, cr carried along
because one or both legs were gene.
Those men took chance; they
went over alt par and came back be-
low par, and they must Stay below
par, physically, until they die. Fifty
Thousand men are dead, because of
the war, Their life went bankrupt as
regards this earth. Tens of thousands
are wounded, eyes, legs, arms missing,
never to come back. The man who
stayed safely at home, who has the
money, and who hesiiates ABOUT buy
ing a first mortgage on this country
because some fools may allow it tenn
poralily to go few points below par
is a shaky kind of an American.
1t is pity to let him have such
good investment as these bond:
represent.

Carol Singing
Is Dying out

"HE custom of carol singing
out OF doors at Christmas
time seems to be dying out.
This is great pity, for
carols are branch of folk music, the
unconscious art of the peasant mind,
a heritage OF inestlmable worth.
In many English Villages there are
carols peculiar to themselves, to be
jealously guarded and retained for
their use.
The Christmas carol dates from the
birth of Christianity Itself. the
angels having sung their carols at the
birth of Jesus Christ.
Among the early Christians carols
were sacred hymns representing

may be mentioned, "The Shepherds
Left Their Sheep" by Alfred Hollins.
Mr.. Hollins is blind, but this affliction
has not prevented him from becoming
one of the finest organists and com
posers in Britain.
Washington Irving in his famous
sketch Book" introduces us to most
of the old English customs which have

Christmas festival. OF his first night

Probably no Christmas would seem
complete without the weu-known and
popular hymn, "Hark the Herald
Angels Sing"
The word carol, which originally
meant dance, is thought to have
come into our language either from
the Norman French carole or from the
Celtic carol.
In 1922 Davies Gilbert published
"some ancient Christmas carols, with
the tunes to which they were former
ly sung in the west of England" In

it really possible that the Nonparti-
san League bosses have so far turned
the heads of North Dakota citizens
that any number of such citizens
would rather listen to the rantings
of sicialist like Mills than they
would to pay welcome to the surviv-
ing young men of their neighborhood
who had just returned from a year
and half amid the horrors of war
in France?

Mills instead of participating in the
welcome to those young soldiers.
Is it possible that any great num-
Der of people in this state feel more
indebted to men like Mills for stay
ing here and helping to fleece them
while their own sons and neighbors
were going across the ocean to glad
ly give their lives?
No wonder that while in the SER

have others poke fun at us as being
