Confidence, that most potent of human attrihiite,uever was in greater demand than today. The American people with all their reputation for courage and ability t Beel situations need to demonstrate t.. them selves their faith in the ultimate success of the present war. '!'.. .r,.t rlnvm to "brass tucks." what reason is there for airy slowing up of husi iiessherc in America toda.v I All of the great manufacturing centers are swamped with work, wages an higher than ever before, the conaumers an betti r aide to purchase great quantities than they ever have been; the larni. is are getting Letter prices than they bare dreamed of securing. vVhj thenshould there he any holding hack .' The nation to perform its pari of the war needs money. It also requires that p -pie behind tin arm? be able to stand the strain of war. and that strain can not be withstood unless husiness continues to be prosperous There is not going to be a return to hard times during, or for scars after the war. There ean not he with the distribution of such vast SUtni of inoiiex flit war materials and for the r. hahilitat ion of the devastated regions of Europe. America is going to anjoi good tunes surpassing anything the country has ever known. Ill view of these conditions there is no eall for the boarding ",- monej . Idle money will not win this war. The nation's wealth, like its people, must he active. It may In active in the ci.ntinuancc of husiness as well as in the purchase of a liberty hond. The owner of money who keeps it idle at such a fuue as this, while his fellow men are giving their lives to protect his Wealth Is most Ullilah. to characterize him mildly.

For a great portion of our crops will J needed for t he saving of Out allies But K it ,M.,1(MlV,.s H, phaaea of busiiu to The present higfa prices of all kinds of commodities Is hound to create a serious problem for the people of these United states, it has the possibilities of serious problems for the stock men ami ranchers about Ontario. To the solution of these problems the best brains and patriotism of the community should he addressed. Already stockmen are wondering what is t.i happen this fall when it will he neces sary to buj has. Despite the lad that they are now getting hitherto unheard of prices for their WOOl and mutton, tiny declare that if ha) getl ton higfa they will he forced to sell their stork and go out of business. They declare that they can yet g 1 prict their stock and tluv will take them rather than pay more than 10 for ha) , The case of the stockman is answered h the ranchers who declare that their i ini occasion for alarm on the part uft In men, for the increased pricei thej air n ceiring for wool and mutton justifies high prices fur hay. Furthermore the ranchers assert that the slurp and cattle men raise the same argument every year, and hare done so in the past when they wanted hay for $3 per ton while the ranchers w. n auk ingt&SO, Only those who are thorolj conversant with both industries and have a wul. mmwnanding grasp of the facts ran ade iiiatel .solve this problem. The Interests of hoth the ranchers and the sheep and cattle men are identical. Kadi must depend on the other for success. The cattle man can not hear down prices of ha and grain to a point where the rancher will stop growtggj feed for stock. Of the tock man Would he forced out of luisiiicss. In turn the ram her! can not hull the prices fur feed to a point Where the sheep and cattle man cannot profit or bo will tit Ik r sell hil flocks and herds or seek other feeding grounds. In the meantime the communities which have been built upon the stability of the stock and ranch husiness will suffer.

A PARALLEL 'How is the war gong to effect the United States," the besl reply is to point to eoiidi tioiis in the hoininioii of Canada. The situation of the two democracies of the American continent are almost parallels, lu a large measure they have tin same natural resources and eugagt' in identical together for the mutual safctj "' the ti rri lory.

A MESSAGE FROM SECRETARY W. 0. M'ADOO Wars cannot he conducted without money. It Is the tirst thing to he provided In this war it is the most immediate help the most effective help that We can give.

Provide the (ioveniinciit with the funds indiapensabl) needed for the conduct of the war and give notice to the enemies of the United States that we have billions to sacrifice in the cause of Liberty. ; p"i gt "Buy a Liberty Bend today; do not put it off until tomorrow.
