"Kvery American who has accepted
the Kieat blessing that God has given,
and has lived the luige and free life

"It is for him at this Instant to
testify to the world what he knows

"He should at once, and cheerfully,

A BADGE OF HONOR
A Liberty Loan button Is a badge
of honor. 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.

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.
Hundreds of thousands of motor
ists have found that business judg
ment in tire-buying leads straight to
United States Tires.
The phenomenal growth
of United States Tire Sales is
positive proof of this fact.
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.

KINGS VALLEY AND
HOSKINS HAPPENINGS
SUGAR BEET RAISING PROFITABLE
The success of the Sugar Beet Industry and its future
and its future expansion in the West depends in a large
measure upon the success of the grower.
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.
Every farmer within reach of a sugar factory should
raise SnmP hepfs ns n ratrinH rlnfTT i
