SOME FACTS ABOUT OUR

Not TOR years has there been such evil

Even the casual reader of the daily news

ing of our responsibility in it's welfare and
administration. Not until we understand
the magnitude and efficiency of the United
States government do we feel the respect
for it and the pride in participating in it
that it deserves.
The Lamoille Co. Savings Bank & Trust
Co. Of Hyde Park is contemplating the
free distribution among it's friends and
patrons of series Of highly illustrated
articles on the government of the United
States. The articles, although written in
popular form, will be of real educational
value. They are to be mailed dire city to
the homes of this community without
charge. This plan is in keeping with the
new idea that every progressive financial
institution owes broader service to it's
community. The modern bank is no
longer only place where money is depos-
tied at Que window and drawn at another.
1t is rather center of constructive and
helpful information to which any one may
bring his financial problems with some
confidence of finding solution for them.
These stories are designed to show the
benefits that each of us derives from the
service of the government. They have been
brought up to the minute, and however
well informed the reader may be he is sure
to find something new in them. They
have particular appeal to new citizens,
foreigners and school children, as we'll as
furnishing interesting and instructive read
ing to practically everyone. The c)m-
munity is sure to benefit from this dis
tribution and every home should have a
complete set.
Never before have Americans taken such
an interest in their government. The ex-
10 sion of income taxes and the widespread
purchase of Liberty BONDS have made us
all financial partners in it's welfare. We
all want to know more about it and we
have right to know. That is why the
publication material comes at precisely the
the right moment and why it may be ex.
pected to be so welcome. This public in
terest in governmental affairs is healthy
and natural interest. 1t will lead to in
creased knowledge, a more intelligent
understanding, and long strong stride
ahead. This community is to be congrat-
ulated on the foresight and enterprise that
brings this material within the reach of
everyone.
We understand that it is the desire to
make this distribution as wide as possible.

The gratuity paid by the Canadian

received more, according to their

Decision whether the use of German
government troops would be permit

frontier would be closed was expected

An armored train was run from
Breslau to kreuzburg, about 80 miles
northeast OF here by Germans last

M0THER'SDAY
TO BE OBSERVED
Pastors in Churches to Deliver
Mothers Day Talks

Many of the Bismarck churches will
observe Mothers Day, Sunday, with
beautiful services.
Most of the pastors of the city have
selected their texts for sermons in
keeping with the sentiment OF the
day.
The wearing Of "a flower Tor
mother will be generally observed
in the city. The guide to the correct
flower to wear is expressed in the
following lines: Il
For Mothers at home, flower bright;
For Mothers memory, flower white.
NO particular flower is designated
for the day, the rule being bright
flower if ones mother is living and a
white flower if in respect to her
memory.
