ONE WAY OUT

Do you see any other way out
of it? Our governments honor
is at stake. That means our
honor. yours and mine. When
you owe money to doctors and
nurses who have saved your
baby's life, you don't haggle
about paying, do you? When
you owe for food that has fed
you or clothes and fuel that
have warmed you, dO you pay
the bills? If you have given
your word to meet certain
obligations, do you meet them?
OF course you do because you
are honest. How long can any
person keep the respect and
good will of his fellows it he
doesn't pay his bills, keep his
promises?
SO it is with your government.
Uncle Sam must pay his bills,
must keep his promises. You.
as a part of your government.
contracted the bills, made the
promises. Now you as part
of your government must do
your part of the paying. Surely
you don't want to find any other
way out than that of lending to
the limit in the Victory Liberty
Loan.

Large Audience Enjoys Stirring
Addresses BY Lieut.. Guth-
rie and Atty. Rieser
AMERICAN ACE MAKES
STRONG APPEAL FOR LOAN
LadysmitI1 Band and Fife & Drum
Corps Help To Bring Out
the Crowd

One of the best meetings, from the
point of attendance as well as enthuSi-
assn. was held in the gymnasium Tues
day evening The object of the meet
ing was to boost the 9th Liberty or
Victory Loan. as it has been called.
The speakers were Lieutenant Guth-
rie. Of Minneapolis. and Robert NJ. RE
ser, an attorney of Superior. Both OF
the speakers made excellent impress
sions with the audience, the talk OF
Lieut.. Guthrie being especially inter
esting owing to the fact that it dealt
with the actual experiences of the avia-
tor in France.
Lieutenant Guthrie is an ace, having
six German planes officially credited to
him. and was awarded the Distin-
guiShed Service Cross with two cita-
tiOnS. He was promoted to Flight
Commander shortly before the armis-
tice was signed. When the war start
ed he entered the first officers training
camp at Fort Smelling. The infantry
was not active enough to suit him and
he asked for Il transfer to aviation.
His request was granted and he was
sent across early in the summer of
1917 He was commissioned a first
lieutenant in France and assigned to
the 18th Pursuit Squadron. He spent
most of his time on the TOul sector
and took a leading part in the great
st. Mihel offensive that fiattened out
the salient that for three years had
been menacing the French nation.
During this great American drive.
Guthrie flew just over the heads of the
doughboys and used his machine gun
effectively on massed German infan-
try.
Guthrie made an earnest appeal to
the people to subscribe literally to the
9TH Liberty Loan.
Mr. Rieser is in charge of the Liberty
Loan Speakers of Superior and gave a
very instructive and comprehensive
reason why the people of this country
should subscribe to their utmost in
making the 9Th Liberty Loan a success.
He gave very forceful talk and was
well received by his audience.
The LadySmith Concert Band and
Captain Haddens Juvenile Fife &
Drum Corps deserve a great amount of.
credit for bringing out the unusually
large crowd The Fife & Drum Corps
gave an exhibition Immediately before
the meeting began and had to respond
to an encore. Another feature of the
meeting was the singing of popular and
patriotic songs by the audience. led by
4. \. Conrad Miss Marjorie Lee Off
ciated at the piano.
