Splendid response from the busi-

Red Cross girls were stationed at the
theaters to collect the odd pennies.
Although, the business men and

erable to make the sale a success, the
children of Grand Forks, according
to Mrs. w. r. Black, president OF the

drive will probably be announced be-
fore January 1.

Jmes Augustus Brown st on the
rickety steps of the house in which
he lived and held baby on his lap.
The morning was very hot and the
baby seemed heavier than usual.
The approach of an automobile
caused the other children to scatter
out of the road. To their great sur
prise the car stopped in front of the
house. James Augustus recognized
the boy in the car as Peter Palmer.
There was also sick looking old
man in the car.
Come out to the car a minute, :"
called Peter. James Augustus hand
ed the baby to its big sister.
A sharp nosed woman struck her
head out of the door.
James Augustus" she said cross
ly what's the matter with that kid?"
Then things began to happen.
There was much talking on the part
Of the sharp nosed lady, good deal
Of crying on the part of the heavy
baby.
But in the end the lady put a bill
in her pocket and James Augustus
with pitiful little bundle rode off
in the big car with Peter and the
sick old man.
The car slowed up at Palmers'
house and Peter slid out.
"'Bye, James Augustus" he called.
"Ill be up to see you an your dad,
some of these days.

LOAN COMMITTEE
LAUDED AT DINNER
Victory Testimonial to Strong
and Aids.

Benjamin Strong, governor of the Fede-
raj Reserve Bank. and the other members
of the Liberty Loan committee OF the
Second Federal Reserve District were
guests last night OF the war loan or
ganization that conducted the five Lib
erty Loan drives at a victory dinner
at the Waldorf-Astoria.
The affair was in the nature Of q
complimentary testimonial to Gov.
Strcng and others Of the committee that
acted throughout in an advisory ca
pacity by the bureau and division chiefs
in charge OF the actual work. Arthur
NJ. Anderson. director of the loan or
ganization, was chairman of the dinner
committee. and associated with him
were Guy Emerson, vioe-dlrector In
charge of publicity; Mrs John T. Pratt,
who was in charge of the women's ac-
tivities; Sheperd Morgan, comptroller
Of the lean organization, and Charles
F. Pritchard, secretary.
Many complimentary things were said
Of Gov. Strong's cooperation. and that
CT the other members OF the Liberty
Lean Committee, in aiding in putting
the five loan drives over the top. Gov.
Strong and his associates on the CON-
mittee responded by speaking appreci.
atively of the work of the men and
women In active charge. Their efforts
Gov. Strong said, toward the success OF
the loan drives were duplicated by no
one in the country. Not only did they
buy bonds themselves, but they worked
long and increasingly, often under most
trying circumstances to induce others
to do SO.
William G. McAdoo paid n glowing
tribute to the work of the Liberty Loar
organization. and declared IL was the
greatest volunteer organization Of It's
kind ever formed in the United States
He also praised the work of the womer
Liberty Loan workers. saying that what
| they did during the four drives had
proved their right to every civil and po'
litical privilege enjoyed by men.
