Rightfully obtained it marks the wearer as one who has performed; a distinct, definite - service to the t'onntry. Not all can fight, not all can work directly for the Government; but In buying a Liberty Loan Bond, or War Savings Stamps, every American rea ders some service to the nation. It has been put within the reach and power of every citlien to aid the United States financially; It Is a poor American who withholds support from the Government, from our soldiers and sailors fronting death on battlefields and oceans. j Iron crosses to German soldiers, land diamond orders exchanged be tween Turkish and German sovereigns may be but the honors of atrocity. But a Liberty Loan button, simple as it Is, signifies a patriotic duty done asd is an insignia of honor. "All that our soldiers need It a still better rear grsanlzstlpn." George. Clemnou, former Premier of France, Jan. 14, 1916. It Is up to you to provide that by buying Liberty Bonds. WVZ''.' Ill United States Tires Now is the Time to Make Your Tire Buying a Business Proposition Now, in this time of war, it is more necessary than ever to buy tires for permanent economy.

The unusually high quality of United States tires has made them easily themost DonuW tires among owners of the biggest selling light cars. The same quality is built into all United States Tiresinto the small sizes as well as the larger sizes for heavier cars. Select the United States Tire that fits your particular needs. Our Sales and Sen ice Depot dealer will gladly help you. Then stick to it President Wilson it appears does'nt propose for congress to adjourn until it has put through some more financial legislation the kind that will im pose higher taxes upon the incomes, etc and particularly upon excess war profits We're in a big war and big sums' of money have to be raised to pay the bills and President Wilson proposes that these bills shall be paid as we go so far as possible, which isn't a bad idea. It may make living expenses higher, but the people are not going to kick much so long as they can see the immensely weanny paying tneir proportionate share of the bill. AA AAA Ailt Aifc AiaAiliitJ.

To attain this full measure of success the grower must have well adapted soil under proper climatic conditions, planting pure bred seed and following improved cultural methods. Under these conditions and with a guaranteed mini mum price before planting, sugar beets are the most profi table field crop of modern agriculture., t The world today is largely dependent on the sugar beet industry to supply the existing shortage and sugar beet factories are paying the highest on record for beets.
