Recent extracts from the appeal
to N. W. Div. Red Cross by U. S. Gov’t
authority who knows the facts about
conditions in Belgium:—
“Back of the German wall that has
hemmed in Belgium and a part of
northern Prance, 10,000,000 human
boing3 look to us for clothing etc. We
who are well clothed can hardly ap
preciate in what dire need these peo
ple are for lack of necessities. Stocks
of clothing and raw material are long
since exhausted, there are no imports
other than those the Committee for
relief in Belgium has been permitted
to make, and these never have been
sufficient. The world is now short of
both clothing and raw material so the
Committee can no longer purchase
what is needed, but You can Give it.
Adv
Bo practical. Look squarely at
the facts. We will either invest our
money wth Uncle Sam NOW, at good
interest rates, to help him win this
war, or we will give it up LATER to
pay Germany’s war costs—and as
much more as Germany chooses to col
lect.
Which would you rather do?
Would suggest the former, by invest

which is being received by command

“There never was a more critical
time in the history of the war than
this present week. Overseas Ameri
can yalor and efficiency are carrying
the banner of triumph and democracy
with resistless force towards German
soil. The ardor of the fighting line
must not eb cooled, and the wonderful
intiative and spirit of our soldiers
must not b# dulled by any failure to
push the Fourth Liberty Loan victor
iously over the top. The people at
home must show that they are as
resolute as the soldiers at the front
are brave. No influence Is more pot
ent in its stimulating effect on the
people of our country than is the ex
ample of the men with the colors.
Let every American soldier and every
American officer do his duty not only
by subscribing himself but by urging
those at home to subscribe.

Miss Katharine Ilolzheimer was
the victim of a 22 r'fle in the hands
of a native who appears to have r:red
with some degree of deliberation be
fore he fully realized the consequences
of his doing. The shooting took place
when the victim with other girls was
skating on Snake river. The native
had secured the rifle in some way
from the Ragers household, it being
the property of the elder Rogers boy.
The native who fired the shot is very
young and did not realize what he was
about. The bullet entered the girl’s
foot and has been located close by the
ankle. She is resting easily under
•medical treatment.
NOTICE
Attending the arrival and dispatch
of the last boat both banks are al
ways very busy; hence all you good
people that have signed pledges or
yet expect to subscribe to the Fourth
Liberty Loan will confer quite a favor
on these institutions if you will at
tend to this matter at once. We thank
you.
