THIS IS YOUR WAR. BUY LIBERTY BONDS Suocesa of Teutonic Anns Spella Despoliation for Ameri can Producers , Lt us thick for a wM!o tow tte war concerns th farmer. "We went to war with Germany partly because the rulere of that country refused to let ui send to Europe our ships laden with grain and cotton. They sunk the ahlpi and cruelly murdered our tailors. Now suppose we allowed them to stop all our shipping, where would you be? None of your goods would be sold In foreign countries, with the result that you would get nothing like the prices which you get today. This war Is being waged partly that you may obtain fair prices tor your goods. What is going to happen if we lose this war? Prices of farm pro duce will drop; the Germans will impose taxation upon you which will cripple you for the next twenty years. Worse than tbat, If the Germans get over here, they will treat you in Just the same way as they have the farm ers of France, Belgium and Italy. In hese sections farm houses have been shot to pieces, crops wasted and burned; even fruit trees chopped down, the cattle stolen, the men sent into slavery to work for German masters, their women ill-treated in ways that cannot be talked of in print, their little children have had their hands chopped off in order that they may never fight or do any more useful work again. You may say "such things will not happen here." They said this in France, in Belgium and In Italy. Such things will happen here Just as sure as you are alive, unless we smash the Germans so utterly that they are unable to reach this country. The German fleet and the German army will take Just one week to get here if we are beaten. They have made up their minds that America shall pay. Is there a farmer who will stand forward now and say, "This war does not concern me?" Tou have money that you do not need at present. Ixan It to the Gov ernment at good interest; when you want the money back again, you can borrow on your bond, or sell it. Uncle Sam will take care of your money until you need It and pay you Interest on it. Go and buy a Liberty Bond to morrow. Don't be a slacker, and don't fool yourself with the idea that you are too far away from the war for it to hurt you. Remember 1914, when the Germans upset the world's shipping, and you took what you could get for your products. Think of the twenty years starva tion prices ahead of you, In case we ire beaten. This Is your war, and If you won't get in it you deserve to lose your American Citizenship. Call in at the bank tomorrow, and talk it over. Third Liberty Loan By Cella Louisa Crlttenton Seriously considered, with insight and understanding, the Third Liberty Loan moans but one thing stability. The unification of Government and people. .The much or little which the peo ple place at the handa of the Govern ment, proportionate to what they pos sess, will have behind it not alone the voice of the people but aa well the united will and force of the peo ple against a war which threatens to engulf the whole national family. We art being Just to ourselves If we place our money where It la safe. And we are living up to the dlctars of our national conscience, which aiso Is our family conscience. The most safe and reasonable In vestment possible is with our Govern ment. For the Government ia but ourselves viewed through the magni fying glass. If we were born in the United States we love our blrthplaoe. It is home. If we were allowed to adopt the United States that offered to us more than our oppressing birth-country; offered to us more freedom, wider scope, then through tbat adop tion we have gained a Privilege worthy of even grtater devotion and love. So. let us all be glad that a Third Liberty Loan Is pending. - It Is a good sign tbat we trust ourselves, tbat we are ready depositors in the Protective Hank of Home. "Keep the horns Area burning" It no light slogan, lightly spoken. Only when the fire Is quenched by a bomb dropped down through the home chimney, can we fully realize how precious and prized la that cherished and cheerful flam.' We must not and shall not wait for that.- The Third Liberty Bond await us and we are ready. Too Prosperous. "I Bee where a country editor died the other day." "What's remarkable about that? Country editors don't live forever." "Quite true : but the press dlxpatch Ktste that this roan was a conspicuous fiinire on the public square of hl town because he always wore a silk hat and a frock cost." "You can t tell me he was a country editor and nothing more. That fellow must have owned stock in the village bank." Bl rmlnghsm A ge-IIei aid. FOR RFNT- W ,. ; I.
