With the aid of two dreadful
bumps in the road, one eight feet
high with sheer drop of 10 feet
and the other % feet high with a
sheer drop of Ga feet, the two
quintettes of the Idaho Springs
High school completely wrecked

ing the teams of G. C. H. S. The
low ceiling and. baskets of their
gymnasium proved great handi-
cap to our men. But in just one
week, on the night of Friday, the
9th, we are going to wreck them
so badly that they won't even be
able to get home. Will you help
us, with your roofing, to put it
through? Let's have big crowd
to show some of our school and
town spirit.

LUKE McLUKE SAYS

There is a heap of difference
between a 20-year-old bride and
bride 20 years old.
+ Many young wife with a hus-
band who is SO years old would
like to swap him for two hus-
bands who are only 25 years old.
We just love to sit in the rear
seat of an automobile when a
chronic splitter is sitting in the
front seat. The spray that floats
back on the breeze is so refresh
ing.
A wife never gives a hang what
her husband will think about it.
But she is terribly worried over
what the neighbors will think
about it.
About.this time of year a lot of
the June brides are willing to bet
that the Fool Killer takes his va
cation in June.
A wife may not know when
there is a hole in her husbands
sock. But she always knows
when there is a hole in his
pocket.
What has become of the old
fashioned man who pulled his
pants out of the top of his boots
when he wanted to look dressed
up?
The reason a girl does not feel
bad because she has no dimples
in her cheeks is because she
knows she has dimples where you
can't see them.
The fellows who had to get
married to avoid being drafted
are now willing to admit that
war is hell.
Some. men can't talk when
they have something to say. But
most of them can't keep silent
when they have nothing to say.
Good luck loves the man who
works hard, minds his own busi-
ness and keeps his nose clean.
When a man sees girl smok-
ing cigarette he gets the idea
that she is that kind of girl.
You see a lot of houses around
town that look as tho they need
painting. But you seldom see a
girl who looks that way.
A man can sleep soundly when
his wife is sick. But he is
mighty restless when his dog acts
as if there is something wrong
with it.

Americas War Debt

Although the debt of the Unit
ed States after four years of civ
il war was $2,675,0OO, 900, or less
than half of one of our five Lib
erty Loans, the wages, profits,
and wealth of the country have
grown so enormously since then
that the larger indebtedness of
the present moment is easier for
the country to pay than the two
billions of 1865.
While it is true that our war
debt is eleven times greater than
our obligations of the Civil war,
it has also been roughly estimat-
ed that our present wealth is ell
even times greater, although the
population is but five-fold larger.
If our taxes were to be calculated
relatively to the Civil war they
should be over five billions year
and our Liberty Loans should be
forty billions, instead of about
half that, deducting our loans to
our allies. The gross debt of the
United States at the present time
represents only 8 percent of the
national wealth.

Your Liberty Bonds
Are as Good as Gold

Don't imagine that the Liberty
Bonds you own are worth any
less than you paid for them.
They are the promise of the
United States of America to pay
dollar for dollar at date of ma
turity, with interest paid in cash
every six months-and you should
remember that this government
has never defaulted on a dollar
of it's indebtedness, either princi-
pal or interest.
The right thing for you to do
is to hold your Liberty Bonds as
an investment and collect on the
interest coupon semi-annually.
Don't get "fussed" over the talk
of some. smooth-tongued sharper
and let him trade you stock in
some doubtful enterprise for your
Liberty Bonds. If misfortune ov-
ertakes you and you must have
money, there are reputable deal
ers in most all communities who
will pay you the highest market
price for your Liberty Bonds, less
a small commission.
After a while-and it won't be
so very long, either--there will
be a stabilization of things in
this country, and with the pur-
chasing power of the good old
American dollar increased you
will then realize what a fine in
vestment you made when you pur-
chased Liberty Bonds to help
win the war. Then how glad you
will be to know that you held on
to your Liberty Bonds.
Meanwhile, keep it in mind that
the United States of America is
going to redeem your Liberty
Bonds by paying you dollar for
dollar of their face value.

In North Dakota the Non-Part-

North Dakota is going to own
and operate the press. Each
county will vote its own manag-

county. paper. That means the
people can do their own thinking
without depending on the politi'

Total ------ 53,1Z6, ,596
Of course the exports are prob
ably in excess of this amount for
only the shipments that exceed
several million dollars in value
attract the attention of the press
but assuming that the above fig
ures are approximate, it means
an annual export of $17,908,865
per month and $214,9O6,3SO per
year.
The United States is only pro-
ducing silver at the rate of $70,-
100000 per year and $30,000,000
worth of this is consumed in the
arts and moving pictures, leaving
about $40, 100000 per year avail
able for all other uses and for ex-
port.
Thus during the above four
years and three months we export
ed nearly $324,0OO,OOO worth of
silver in excess of imports and
this is eight times as much as we
had available from our own pro-
duction, during this time.
