Don't let your Liberty Bonds get away from you. Hold onto them, even if you may be tempted to dispose of them. In the first place, the government intended them for YOU. The Liberty loans were designed as people's loans. In order to finance the war the government must have the support of ALL the people. It was intended that you keep the bonds and not trade them or sell them. Promiscuous selling tends to depreciate their value, and that is what the German agents here would like to do. Not only is it your patriotic duty to retain these bonds, but in doing so you are laying up something for a rainy day. The Liberty loans and the Was Savings Stamp issues have done more to encourage thrift in America than anything ever before attempted. They have made bondholders out of thousands of people who never in their lives until now had made an investment. Crafty and unscrupulous individuals are using every means to entice these bonds out of the hands of their owners. One method is to offer in exchange for Liberty bonds stock certificates in fly-by-night companies, worth only the gold paper they are printed on, and represented as returning a much higher rate of interest than the government securities. Those who are not familiar with stock values should be aware of such offers. There are other methods, some savoring of the gold+brick variety; others just within the limits of the law. Liberty bonds are the safest investment in the world. If you MUST dispose of them, you would do well to consult your banker. OUR WAR INTENTIONS: "We intend what our forefathers, the rounders of this Republic, intended. We in America believe our participation in this war to be the fruitage of what they planted. Our case differs from theirs only in this, that it is our inestimable privilege to concert with men out of every nation what shall make not only the liberties THE SECOND DECLARATION OF INDEPENDANCE Washington, D. C., July, 1918. A second Declaration of Independence was enunciated and entered in the records of the U. S. Congress at the end of last week. This is the consensus of opinion among thoughtful Washingtonians who heard the petition to the Government read at the meetings of the National Colored Liberty Congress or who have read the document as printed in the Congressional Record of June 29th. Like the first Declaration, this one was the creation of a delegated assembly, a citizens' congress with a national membership. The Liberty Congress was composed of 115 delegates from 29 states and the District of Columbia, men and women, protesting injustice and tyranny, responding to a Declaration represented the first American uncompanied, sacrifice and natural feelings and yearnings of Americans for liberty and an equal of America secure, but the liberties of every other people as well. . . . "There can be but one issue. The settlement must be final. There can be no compromise. No halfway decision would be tolerable. No halfway decision is conceivable. "The blinded rulers of Prussia have roused forces they knew little of—forces which can never be crushed to earth again; for they have in their heart an inspiration and a purpose which are deathless and of the very stuff of triumph."—From the President's Mount Vernon Address. BONDS OF THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN. Bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan are now being turned out by the thousands daily by the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The bonds are similar in form and design to those of the third loan, and space has been left on each bond for insertion of the exact terms of the bonds. It is believed that a sufficient number of the bonds will be ready to make possible immediate delivery of all bonds of the fourth loan as they are purchased. FRENCH WAR CROSS FOR EVERY MEMBER OF COLORED REGIMENT. (Editorial by Arthur Brisbane, Editor of the Hearst Newspapers.) of the Hearst Newspapers.) It will soon be time for another St. Gaudens to make a monument to another lot of colored troops of the United States. St. Gaudens made a magnificent statue of heroic young Shaw, the white man, leading his colored troops against slavery. Another American officer, also named Shaw, offers something to the sculptor, something rather hard to show in marble or bronze. The French war department declares that every member of a colored regiment is entitled to the war cross for courage shown in their first fighting under fire. The white officer, Lieut. Shaw, was looking after his guns, giving instructions, taking them to pieces and reassembling them again, under fire so heavy that if he had stood upright he would not have lived five minutes. He went from one gun to the other, rolling over and over on the ground, and comes out of it alive. When you see your colored fellow citizens, in or out of uniform, please remember that, no matter what you may think, the white Prussian across the line has a pretty high opinion of him. While the Census bill was under discussion in the House, Representative John G. Cooper of Ohio, sought the adoption of an amendment that would have taken from the Democrats some, at least, of the enormous amount of patronage they will exercise when that measure is put into effect. As it now reads all census supervisors are to be appointed by the Secretary of Commerce upon recommendation of the Director of the Census. Of course that means that practically all will be Democrats. Mr. Cooper would have given the Congressmen a voice in making recommendations for appointments in their own districts. Had his views prevailed Republican districts would have stood a chance of having their inhabitants recorded by Republican supervisors. But Mr. Cooper's amendment met with disfavor from the party in control and was defeated. From Auburn, N. Y., comes the report of the death of Edward Corpianter at the Cattaraugus Indian GOD GIVE US MEN. God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor—men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. —I. G. Holland --- THE CENSUS GRAB TOO MUCH FOR ED share in the Rights of Man. While the Revolutionary patriots met to initiate war, those race patriots met at the seat of Government when the country was in a mighty world war and without equivocation set forth the denials to their racial element of the country to democracy to spread which their conquests avowed taking part in a world war. This National Colored Liberty Congress' key-note sounded by Maurice W. Spencer, local chairman, the first night, which echoed and reechoed in every speech and in the petition, that was that the U. S. A. was proclaiming world-democracy as its purpose in a world war, all race and color discrimination in federal departments, in public places in the schools, in public schools, in government schools, in public schools under government control, in the federal officials should be abolished by congress, which should also make lynching a federal crime. Reservation. He was a direct descendent of the Iroquois Indian Chief Cornplanner for whom Congress established the Cornplanter Reservation. The report says that the deceased "although educated, believed in a restoration of pagan customs." Edward, who was certainly not a hyphenated American, must have been pondering over our trend toward Socialism during the past five years. The suggestion that Secretary Lansing run for Governor of New York on the Democratic ticket is one that constantly creeps out, but we do not look to see it adopted. Mr. Lansing is an estimable gentleman, but he is not exactly the stuff of which political heroes are made. ENCOURAGING. ISN'T IT? In the state-wide primary held in West Virginia, three colored men were nominated on the Republican ticket in as many counties for members of the House of Delegates, the lower branch of the legislature. The nominees were: J. V. Coleman, Kimberly, Fayette county; Harry J. Capehart, Keystone, McDowell county, and T. G. Nutter, Charleston, Kanawha county. Mr. Nutter is a lawyer and secretary-treasurer of a bank. The colored population in none of these counties is one-sixth of the whole, that of Kanawha being only about one-tenth. President Rev. Byron Gunner is out in a call for the annual meeting of the National Equal Rights league, which will meet in September in Chicago. President Wilson in a letter to a prominent citizen of Mississippi, classes Senator Vardaman, who is a candidate for re-election as an "undesirable." The colored people of the country have long considered him as one of that class. Vardaman was elected senator with the expressed intention of repealing the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, but it still stands, although he has been in the Senate for twelve years. AMERICANS—THAT'S ALL. For many years it has been the custom to treat colored people as aliens, although they are more than ninety-nine per cent of American birth; and there is a growing ten deny among the colored people to regard themselves as aliens. This is being encouraged by a class of leaders who call themselves "Negroes" and yell about "Negro Kultur" although they have not more than half and often less than one-eighth of Negro blood. Such men ought to stop the "Negro" propaganda and be Americans and demand justice because they are Americans and not by the false assertion that they are "Negroes." They should not have any rights as "Negroes" but every right of an American citizen should be and will be accorded them, if they fight for their rights as American citizens by right of birth. Recently some colored editors under the direction of E. J. Scott and J. E. Spingarn met in Washington and asked the government for "that minimum of consideration" for racial wrongs, and they evidently touched a tender chord in the breast of those dear friends of the colored people—the white South. For instance, the editor of the Lexington (Ky.) Herald quotes this conclusion, praises it and naively adds, "Assuredly he is entitled to nothing less." A GENTLE LIFE --- A GREAT JOKE (?) War Savings Stamps It isn't so much the amount of money you save as it is getting into the habit of saving a definite amount regularly. The best way to learn to save is not only to promise yourself that you will do it regularly but promise some one else, your wife, your parent, your husband, or your teacher, that you will not let a first of the month or first of the week go by without saving. The Habit of Thrift Will Help Win The War The United States Government needs money to equip our armies and to fight for democracy. Your Government—the richest in the world—is willing to pay interest for your money now. Uncle Sam offers you $5.00 War Savings Stamps for $4.13 in February, and one cent additional each month thereafter. A Thrift Card is furnished to all purchasers of 25 cents Thrift Stamps. When all the spaces have been filled, the Thrift Card may be exchanged for $5.00 War Savings Stamps at any post office or bank. You should start saving a certain amount regularly. Outline your program. Start at once by going to your post office and getting your first War Savings Stamp or Thrift Card. And stick to it. As you treasure your right to live in this nation of freedom, do not miss a single day on which you have determined to save. Buy War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps (25 cents) at any bank or post office.

SPINGARN TO BLAME. (Official Bulletin, June 29, 1918.) The following is an extract from the resolutions adopted by the conference of colored newspaper editors held in Washington last week under the auspices of the War Department and the Committee on Public Information: We, the thirty-one representatives of the Negro press, which has a circulation of more than a million copies, principally among the colored people of America, and representatives of other societies, wish to affirm, first of all, our German belief that the defeat of all the German Government and what it today represents is of paramount importance to the welfare of the world in general and to our people in particular. We deem it hardly necessary, in view of the unattained record of Negro-Americans, to reaffirm our loyalty to our country and our readiness to make our sacrifice to win this war. We do not, however, as students and guides of public opinion among our people, to use our every endeavor to keep these 12,000,000 people the highest pitch, not simply of passive loyalty, but of active, enthusiastic, and self-sacrificing participation in the war. Admit Grievances Justifiable and that Race is Restive. We are not unmindful of the recognition of our American citizen-ness in the appointment of colored officers, of colored advisers to the Government of colored advisers to the Government.

German propaganda among us is powerless, but the apparent indifference of our own Government may be dangerous. * * * Discreditable utterance—Seek to Put Race Loyal on Defensive, to Exaggerate Difficulty of Redress and Then Cringe and Leave all Indefinite. The American Negro does not expect to have the whole Negro problem settled immediately; he is not seeking to hold up a striving country and a distracted world by pushing irrelevant personal grievances as a price of loyalty; he is not disposed to overwhelm an ample tremendous crisis all his complaints and ties; he is more than willing to do his full share in helping to win the war democracy and he expects his full share of the fruits thereof. Gentlemen of the Minimum. But he is today compelled to ask for that minimum of consideration that enable him to be an efficient fighter in the history.—From the Boston Guardian. DUBOIS' SURRENDER. Dubois Mirepresents Race as he Compromises Says Singleton. (Special to the Pittsburgh Courier, by Walter J. Singleton.) In an editorial article dealing with the war, The Crisis for July contains the following advice to colored men. "Let us, while the war lasts, forget our special grievances and close our ranks shoulder to shoulder with our own white fellow citizens and the allied nations that are fighting for democracy." The learned Doctor Dubois has seldom packed more error into a single sentence: He says three things in this sentence: (1) forget our special grievances; (2) close our ranks, and (3) fight for democracy with our white fellow citizens and the allied Raises a False Issue in Order to Compromise. Let us consider the last two things first. Our ranks are already closed; they have never been open; they are not open now; they will not be open in the future. So that the dear doctor's advice being predicated, as it is, on the assumption that our ranks are open, is baseless. The same is true as to our fighting for democracy. That is the one thing the colored man has always desired, prayed and fought for; he desires, prays and fights for it now, and will in future desire, pray and fight for it. Again the dear doctor is offering advice where it is not needed. How Are We to Forget Our Grievances. Now as to forgetting our special grievances? How can we? The lyncher won't let us. The jim-crower won't let us. The man who practices racial proscription won't let us. With lynchings of colored people averaging higher than two a week, how are we to forget lynching? With the daily denials to hundreds of colored people of the comforts and conveniences of transportation, how can we forget cars. When a young colored woman was qualified for admission to the civil service of the government, and been certified and cooled, and is refused appointment when it is discovered that he or she is of the colored race, how can we forget racial proscription? The lyncher, the jim-crower and the racial proscriber keep these things alive, not we. No Other Citizens Having Special Grievances Are Asked by Leaders to Forget Them. Then besides no other group of citizens having special grievances are being advised by their leaders to forget them, but to the contrary every effort is being made to correct them now. This is true as to labor, as to woman's suffrage and as to rights of Irishmen Why an exception in the case of the colored man. In all charity and seriousness, we hope never again to see the pages of The Crisis defied with such stuff as this. To keep the ranks closed and to fight for democracy means to protest against mob violence, Jim-crow cars and racial proscription. Where these things exist democracy is not triumphant.

Dubois Wrote "Minimum of Consideration" Resolutions—One of Dubois' Was So Compromising It Was Cut Out by Vote. (The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio.) At the great Afro-American Conference, held in Washington, D. C., a few weeks ago, the only change made in its splendid resolutions was a sentence along the line of the complained of part of the July Crisis ediition approached by the writer and asked of he written it, Dr. DuBois, secretary of the committee on resolutions, laughingly told that he had done so. This we were loath to believe, and did not so until he arose in the meeting and undertook to defend the objectionable sentence, but in vain, for it was stricken out and a proper one unanimously substituted for it. The incited us to thinking (and investigating), and we learned that he had been appointed since the conference) to a captaincy of the intelligence department, and stationed in the army Department at Washington, D. C., did we understand his "reversal of form." More Compromising than Washington. We do not believe that Dr. Booker T. Washington in the hey-dey of his "doctrine of surrender" preaching would have dared do such a thing. O DuBoise! Et tu Brute! There are a few honest and sincere colored men who use the term "negro" in describing themselves, but the majority who use the term are jimcrowls pure and simple. The time has come to eliminate such words as German, Negro, Irishman, Lithuanian, etc. People in the United States ought to be satisfied to be known as Americans. That one word is big enough to include all persons born in this country. Senator Ben Pitchfork Tillman says he will run again "to aid the United States in the war." Ben has done so many thing against his country it is well that he should at last be willing to aid it. For any Watch, Diamond or other article of Jewelry you may desire.

GET MY LIST FOR BARGAINS. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS? No pie, cake or fancy pastry of any kind will be exhibited at the coming Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 2 to 7, this year. Since the Fair is a "War Exposition," it is believed that drills in cook ing must be discouraged everywhere. "Altogether too much sugar, lard and other ingredients needed elsewhere in winning the war are reused in baking and cake," says Mrs. Bertha Dahl Lawson, the director of the Woman's Work Department. "You won't catch the Fair encouraging things of that nature this year." A big bread exhibit is to be shown. Not a single loaf of bread made entirely from wheat flour, however, will be accepted. Only bread made either wholly or in part of wheat flour substitutes can be exhibited. The canning exhibit will be a big feature. Canned fruit and vegetables of all kinds will be shown. Demonstrators will explain how canning can be done scientifically in the home, so that the Northwest may cut down its waste in fruit and vegetables in seasons of plenty in the near years to come. It will be a wonderful exhibit. THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN. The campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan will begin September 28 and close October 19. The result of the loan will be watched with keen interest in Europe, not only by our associates in the war against the Teutonic powers but by our enemies. It will be regarded by them as a measure of the American people's support of the war. The Germans know full well the tremendous weight and significance of popular support of the war, of the people at home backing up the Army in the field. As the loan succeeds the enemies will supply, as it falls short they will rejoice. Every dollar subscribed will help and encourage the American soldiers and hurt and depress the enemies of America. The loan will be a test of the loyalty and willingness of the people of the United States to make sacrifices compared with the willingness of our soldiers to do their part. There must be and will be no failure by the people to measure up to the courage and devotion of our men in Europe. Many of them have given up their lives; shall we at home withhold our money Shall we spare our dollars while they spare not their very lives? LADY ELEVATOR OPERATORS. Meet and Form a Mutual Benefit Organization. On last Saturday evening a number of the women who have recently supplanted the men as elevator operators met at the residence of Miss Atric Rogers, 675 St. Anthony avenue, and organized a club to be known as the Golden Rule Girl's Elevator Operator's Club, and elected officers as follows: Miss Atric Rogers, president; Mrs. Bessie Lucas, vice president; Miss Evelyn Oldaly, secretary; Miss Havanna Taylor, treasurer. Mr. W. F. Handler was unanimously elected legal member. The members of the club are: Atric Rogers, Bessie Lucas, Evelyn Oldly, Havanna Taylor, Mamie Reed, Margaret Wilson, Burnetta Crump, Sadie Johnson, Margaret Jenkins, Florence Thompson, Anna McMakeen, Lorena Barksdale. The object of the club is to study conditions and bring in suggestions that will help the members to cope with public contact. McNEAL-THOMAS Two Young Folks Who Thought It Best to Not Live Alone. About the first of August, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Thomas of 328 Rex Court, issued invitations to the wedding reception of Mr. Charles McNeal and their daughter, Miss Ernestine, for Thursday afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock. The wedding was private and was solemnized at the Priest's House of St. Mary's Catholic church. Father Casey officiating. Only relatives and a few friends of the contracting parties were present. After the ceremony the wedding supper and reception took place at the residence of the bride's parents, the house being filled to capacity with guests. The supper was fine and there was no lack of liquid accompaniments from chapagne to agua pura. The bride was solemnly gowned in white hand embroidery over white silk, and carried a bouquet of roses and lilies of the valley. The young couple were the recipients of numerous handsome and appropriate presents. Music was furnished by Prof. Hunter and dancing was enjoyed during the evening. The newly weds will reside at 326 Rex Court where they are at home to their friends. BROWN-HODGES RECITAL. For the Benefit of Crispus Attucks Orphanage and Old Folk's Home. That there is no lack of appreciation on the part of St. Paul's literary and musical folks was clearly attested on Friday evening of last week when Pilgrim Baptist church was crowded by our citizens to listen to a program arranged by the financial committee of Crispus Attucks Home. Mr. Joseph E. Johnson was master of ceremonies and after stating the object of the entertainment and expressing his chagrin at the lack of interest in the Home by many who should render aid, he introduced Mme. Jean Hodges the renowed hinger of Aukland, New Zealand, and Miss Hallie Q. Brown, the renowed dramatic reader of Wilberforce, Ohio. Miss Brown fully maintained her excellent reputation, in rendering, as only she can, the following selections covering a range so wide that the versatility of her exceptional talent could not be doubted. She gave: "The Black Regiment," "The Fate of a Slave Girl," "The Charcoal Man," Dumbars: "The Party," "When Melinda Sings," "The Booga Man," "Itching Heels," "Encouragement," "A Love Song." Mme. Jean Hodges added fresh laurels to her already well filled crown by her admirable rendition of: "A Memory," "The House of the Presence," "O, Come My Beloved," "Less than the Chord, Desire," "The Lord Chord," "My Thank," "This Why I Love You," "Lao-La-Lo," "A Rose and You," "Home Little Maori," "God Send You Back to Me." Each number on the program was an artistic gem and was roundly applauded by the delighted audience. The finale was the singing of the Star Spangled Banner by Mme. Hodges, while Miss Brown enveloped in the American flag interpreted in pantomime, followed by the singing of America with the audience for the first time. It was a glorious and inspiring entertainment throughout. MICKIE SAYS BUN-LEEVEN ME!

AND MRS. W. T. FRANCIS Celebrate the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of Their Wedding. A quarter of a century ago one of the most notable matrimonial alliances in St. Paul was that of Mr. William T. Francis and Miss Nellie F. Griswold. It was quite an elaborate affair in every way and the published description of it, and the list of presents filled several columns of THE APPLE. On Thursday evening, Aug. 8, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the wedding was celebrated by Atty. and Mrs. Francis and a host of their friends at ```markdown ``` MRS. NELLIE F. FRANCIS their handsome home, 606 St. Anthony avenue, in a very unique manner that approximated the original occasion. There have been numerous wedding anniversaries in St. Paul but none was quite so original and unique as that of "Billie" and "Nellie." The parlers were very elaborately decorated with the national colors and flags of the allies. As a result of the parlor on a ribbon the figures 1883,1918, twelve inches long, in silver gilt with gold dots were suspended. On the walls there were groupings of pictures of the bride and groom from 6 months of age to date and photos of relatives, old settlers and friends that, made a ATTY. WM. T. FRANCIS very attractive feature. The decorating scheme was evolved from the fertile brain of Mr. Charles H. Miller. When the hour for the festivities to begin arrived Mr. Francis began to sing "Mandy," and went from the parlor to the stairway and his bride of twenty-five years took up the strain and slowly came down the stairs where they locked arms and proceeded to the end of the parlor where stood Mr. C. H. Miller costumed expressly for the occasion and he began an original mock ceremony that put everybody in a hilarious state. The bride and groom then sang and recited several appropriate songs and passages. Mr. J. Q. Adams then appeared upon the scene as master of ceremonies and read the description of the wedding of a quarter of a century before as published in THE APBAL. He then called upon several persons for remarks viz: W. R. Morris, Rev. J. M. Henderson, J. H. Loomis, Mrs. G. W. James, Atty. B. S. Smith, Mrs. A. S. Foster of Mr. Francis' Excelsion class of Pilgrim, Sunday school after T. Lee and she presented on Mrs. Lee and she presented on electric iron and attachments, with some excellent and appropriate remarks. Mr. Chas. H. Miller and Mrs. Elenora Smith sang a duett. Capt. Charles Suner Smith, Editor of the Twin City Star, made a few remarks as did Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Rev A. H. Lealatt was the last speaker. All the speeches were highly commendatory of Atty and Mrs. Francis, Mrs. H. H. Dillin and Miss Hattie Hobbs were present as foster mothers and Mr. J. B. Johnson gave away, the bride. Mrs. R. B. Chapman, sister of Mrs. Francis, and her husband were flower girl and boy. Mrs. Francis wore the gown that enhanced her beauty 25 years before, with the same veil and lace handkerchief and fan. Instead of orange blossoms however, she wore a wreath of little sunflowers. Mrs. Francis was not able to wear his wedding suite, as time war and moths had robbed him of it, but he looked all right just the same. After the excercises were over elegant refreshments were served in abundance and a general spirit of jollity prevailed. In the announcement of the celebration it was stated that no presents would be expected and that the affair would be very informal, but the guests came, many of them elegantly attired and a number of presents were given including: Necklace of amber and turquoise linked with silver fillagree from green fern. Pair of black and white striped fannel trousers from the bride, other presents were: Photo of Mr. and Mrs. Adolphus Harris, Chicago. Pair mahogany candle sticks and pink candles, Miss Clara Howard, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. James, Mr. and Mrs. Cleat Oliver, Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Howard, Dr. V. D. Turner.

In the list of names of the ladies who gave the party for the draftees at Union Hall on Tuesday, July 30, the names of Misses Elinor Castone and Grace Lealtad were inadvertently omitted. MR. A. A.

The Booster's Ball, of the Baltimore Club, given at New Viking Hall last Monday evening, was a very pleasant affair, but owing to peculiar circumstances was not as well attended as it would have been under more favorable conditions. Miss Ada Lewis entertained twelve girls in honor of Misses Eva Overton, Eleanor Rivers and Edith Moore, Thursday evening, Aug. 8, at a costume party. The young women were dressed as little girls and boys, and games appropriate for children were played. Rev. M. W. Withers, who has been sojourning in North Dakota for several months and has been State Missionary for the Baptists arrived in the city Thursday to join his wife and his city about two weeks. Rev. Withers has his headquarters at Bismarck, N. D., but is contemplating establishing headquarters here. Miss Estelle Monroe, of South Pittsburgh, Tenn., who has been visiting Miss Isabelle Ford, 720 Bryant Ave. N., left Friday of last week for Knoxville, Tenn., to visit her grandfather for a few days before returning to her home. She was perfectly delighted with the people of the Twin Cities who tendered her so many social courtesies during her visit. Miss Hallie Q. Brown filled the pulpit at St. Peter A. M. E. church last Sunday night and preached from the text: "What Hold Ye in Thy Hand?" lodges sang. A delighted audience attended a collection for the of $22.15. Miss Brown said of this collection that it was the first time in her collection that the collection for her was raised before the church collections. Miss Jova Overton, of Chicago, daughter of the proprietor of the famous Overton toilet preparations, who has been the guest of Mrs. B. S. Smith for several weeks, left Friday of last week for her home. She made a very favorable impression upon the people of the Twin Cities and was similarly impressed with the people whom she met, and who accorded numerous social courtesies to her making her visit a long sweet dream not soon to be forgotten. If you have not visited the Arcadia Cafe recently, you should do so at once, in order to see, for yourself, the elegant $500.00 soda fountain, which Proprietor Simmons has installed. It is a "thing of beauty" and, doubtless, will be a, a joy forever." Incidentally, we mentioned that one may get a regular dinner there. 25 cents, that for quality, quantity and service is not equated any where in the city.

THE only way America can increase the world's supply of food is by the use of more labor-saving machinery. We have land enough but lack of labor is the limiting factor; so more uptodate farm machinery must be put at work to take the place of the farm laborers we simply cannot get. There is only one machine power recruiting station in all this community where the steel workmen needed to increase crop yields can be found. The only place where new types and models of farm machinery can be compared by you for purchase is at the Minnesota State Fair, September 2 to 7. THE TRACTOR GO ON CASH BASIS Chinese Merchants Forced to Change Methods. Restricted Credits Since War Began Puts Stop to Age-Old Custom. New York.—The beneficial effects of restricted credits in China since the war started in 1914, which have forced the Chinese merchants to do business pretty much on a cash basis, were particularly noticeable in the unusually small number of failures on Chinese New Year's day, which is the annual settlement day in the Chinese commercial world. According to Consul General George E. Anderson of Hongkong, banking interests in China have found that the demand for accommodations has fallen off tremendously during the last three years. Prior to the war and from time immemorial this annual settlement day has entailed efforts of every sort on the part of the Chinese to raise money for liquidating their debts accumulated during the year. Frequently they have had to sell much of their stock in business at a great loss, even personal property as well, in order to raise sufficient funds to "save their face," as it is called. An annual street fair for the sale of all sorts of property, personal and otherwise, has been an old-established custom in Hongkong for generations, almost for centuries, while at the same time both foreign and domestic banks have placed large sums on accommodation. In the last three years, however, loans have been small, property sales have been light in comparison, and the street fair has become the occasion for sales to Chinese instead of sales by Chinese to foreigners. Though the Chinese merchant's volume of business has in some instances been somewhat curtailed, as a result of his having had to operate on much shorter credits than he has been accustomed to, his net profits at the end of the year, through not having been forced to sacrifice merchandise at a loss, have been materially increased. It is said also that the Chinese business men have come to see the advantages of the new system, and that in all probability they will never go back to the old. © Western Newspaper Union General Count Masaki Terauchi is the commander in chief of the Japanese army.
