BUY LIBERTY BONDS Success of Teutonic Arms Spells Despoliation for Ameri can Producers Let ua think tor a- while how the war concern the farmer. We went to war with Germany partly becauae the rulers of that country refuaed to let us aend to Europe our ships laden . with grain and cotton. They sunk the ahtps and cruelly murdered our aallor. . Now auppoae we allowed them to (top all our ahlpplng, where would you b? None of your goods would be sold In foreign countrlea, with th reault that you would get nothing like tha prlcea which you get today. Thla war la being waged partly that you may obtain fair prices for your good. What la going to happen If we lose this war? Prlcea of farm pro duce will drop; the Germans will Impose taxation upon you which will cripple you for the next twenty years. Worse than that, if the Germans get over here, they will treat you In just th aame way aa they have' the farm ers of France, Belgium and Italy. In these section farm houses have been shot to pieces, crops wasted and burned; even fruit tree chopped down, the cattle stolen, the men sent into slavery to work for German masters, their women Ill-treated in waya that cannot be talked of in print, their little children have had their linmls chopped oft In order that they may never flsht or do any more useful work analn. You may suy "such thing will not happen here." They eutd tbia in" France. In ItelKlum and In Italy. Such things will happen here Juat aa lure as yon are alive, unleas we smash the Geimana so utterly that they are unable to reach thla country. The Uerman fleet 1 and the German army will take Just one week to get here It we are beaten. They have made up their minds that America shall pay. . I there a farmer who will stand forward now and say, "Thl war does not concern me?" Ton have money that yon do not need at present, lxmn it to the Gov ernment at good interest; when you want the money back again, you can Iwrrow on your bond, or aell It. Uncle Sam will take care ot your money until you need It. and pay you Interest on It. Go and buy a Liberty Bond to morrow. - Don't be a alacker, 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 tor your producta. ' Think ot the twenty, years atarva tion prlcea ahead of you. In caae we are beaten. Thla Is your war, and if you won't get In It yoit deserve to lose your American Citiienshlp. Call In at the bank tomorrow, and talk It over.- . Never Look Protptrou.
