There nrc about 10,000,000 subscribers to thia loan, which is an average of one per son out of every Bix in the United States who huvc invested in the bonds 0.' tho government. Every feature of tho Third Liberty Loon la satisfactory to the government officials and should also be matter of great encourage- ment to tho people. '; : ' The per capital subscription, that is the amount nf the bonds subscribed in comparison with the entire population, shows there is about $40 to each per son of tho United States invested in the Third Liberty bonds, while the whole bonded indebtedness of the Un ited States is now fourteen billion, or an average of $78 to each man, worn and and child in the whole country. Germany nnd' Austria-Hungary have a war indebtedness of nearly fifty billions, which is $.185 for ench person and about three-eights of tha entire national wealth of tho prlncfiml central powers of Europe. As a matter of being in debt this oountry has not yet made a start is compared with tho countries which brought on the war. 1 The significant fuct is that tho peo ple of the United States are as a unit in seoing the business through, regard less of tho cost. They are ablo to df so as the expense thus far is but a light percentage of the country's av ailable resources, and the reports show that tho hanks huvo been drawn upon very lightly to swing this last loan. The expenditures anil the bond is sues will ho very much greater than the present accumulation before the .United Slates will in any particular way feel tho Btrcss laid upon It in olevor the enforced duty it has of bringing the run-nnuii'k kaiser to terms. But whatever tho cost may be, tho peopie are ready to meet it. 4 Mr. and Airs. Daniel Dnyd wero hostesses to tho Literary Club members and their husbands at a dinner Thursday evonlng.

"This wus once a French village," ho ' went on to say, "In the center of fine ' sugar beet country. We are living I now on the site of tho sugar mill," he said, pointing to a long, low barracks, which plainly had been recently built j "We are working for the American Ued Cross putting villages back on the ! map. In four more weeks we'll be out j of hero and pn our way to the next ruin, for there are many .villages that .' need us.

Ads to the eammmm INCH EASED PAY. There are a guod many railroad cm pluyces in Ln Grande who are inter ested in tho proposed advance in pay of men 111 the railroad service. The outstanding' feature of the case toi those who nrc not directly interested j is the way this advance in salary hut been accomplished. It has not hem-i done by a strike or a lockout that i j one thing, and the public will appreci ate it becnuse such methods of reach- j ing adjustment involves the interests i of all thu people, rcgarless of which ! party to the contention is right and which is wrong.
