YOUR WAR. BUY

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.
