ARKANSAS TENANT FARMERS
TO BUY LIBERTY LOAN BONDS

Tenant farmers of Arkansas, who
in previous years have found it diff
ficult TO make both ends meet, are
this year going to be liberal buyers of
Liberty Bonds" said H. A. Morrison,
cashier of the Bank of Commerce,
Earl, Crittenden County, Arkansas
A ten-million dollar cotton crop in
his county alone explains why this is
to come about. Mr. Morrison said that
his fellow citizens were showing such
enthusiasm in the new bond issue that
supply them with bonds.
Heretofore" said Mr. Morrison, the
proceeds of the annual harvest was
not sufficient to maintain the farmers
until the next crop could be harvest
cd, and it was the custom in April to
begin buying food and other necessi-
ties on credit. The result was that in
the fall it usually took about all the
farmer got for his crop to pay his
debts and get through the winter
This year it is different The
planters are going to get from 80 to
IS cents a pound for cotton, whereas
before they only got from to 10
cents
'One fine thing about these bonds
is that the farmer can use them as
legal tender. In case they need money
they will find their war bond invest,
ment readily negotiable"

His heart was mighty bad;
They wouldn't let him do much work
Or any hearty play
But, just the same, they drafted Jim,
And Jim has gone away.
Jim was sort of great, big kid
And fooling all the while;
So, when they ordered him to camp,
He went there with a smile.
Jim Dale is in the army now,
Lark legs, bum heart and all,
To fight like other drafted men
That got the country's call.
God, yes! Jim's heart may drop him deat
Or he may live to be
Shot all to pieces ''over there

BY thunder! it's these odds to you'll
If kids like Jim can go,
With smiles, TO fight our wars for US
We can puJ up the dough.

And DON'T, while Jim, poor cuss.

Then helIs too good for us.

The spirit which actuated Israel
Putnam more than a century ago is
what is needed in America today, &C.
cording to men who are in close touch
with the war conditions and the affairs
OF the United States.
Putnam was blowing his nOne-too-
productive New England field when a
horseman dashed up and told him the
tale of the British raid On Lexington.
1t was seeding time and Putnam's
field demanded immediate care.
Did he falter or hesitate? Did he
procrastinate? No. He left his team
in the field still hitched to the plow
and hurried away to answer the call
of his country. He did not stop to con-
slider the cost Of leaving. Liberty was
at stake and he was off to the rescue.
Liberty is at stake again. Your
liberty and the liberty Of the rest Of
the civilized world. Every day the
rural mail brings the story with all it's
dread warning along the winding
country road to the Israel Putnams OF
today.
But they are not in the fields They
are storing their So and So wheat, their
50 potatoes and their 81 corn and their
So onions. They, better than anyone
else, know how well they are respond
ing to the call of liberty.
But it is time that these men, as
well as their city brothers awake. Do

Sam is your friend. But he can do

A strong appeal to the wo-kinSmcl
of this country to participate in the
second Liberty Loan to the fullest eX
tent has been made b. William 3.
Wilson, secretary Of labor
Secretary Wilson points out that
"the workers have more at stake in
this great conflict than any others,
because it is only in 4 democracy that
the common people can como into their
own"
The great European w2r in which
we arc now involved came to the peo-
PIE OF the Western Hemisphere as q
terrible shock, and to no portion Of
the people cid it come as a greater
shock than to the Wage-e2rners of the
United States. They believed in and
wanted international peace, but they
wanted it On q basis of international
Justice which would insure tie right
of our people to govern themselves.
When the Imperial German Govern
mont undertook to destroy the lives
Of or people and to impose rule OF
conduct upon US without our consent
in places under the jurisdiction of the
United States government, there was
TO course left but to resist" Sacre.
iary Wilson said.
"'Tha workers have moro at stake
