HOW DOES 1T Hs
CONCERN ME7

A fair question, always. Let u
think for q while how the War and
the Liberty Loan concerns the farmer
We went to war with Germany
partly because the rulers or that
country refused to let US send to
Europe our ships laden with grain
and cotton. They sunk the ships and
cruelty murdered our sailors. Now
suppose we allowed them to stop all
our shipping. where would you be?
None OF your goods would be sold
in foreign countries. with the result
that you would get nothing like the
prices which you get today. II is the
enormous demand for what you pro
duce. that is securing you hign
prices. II this demand we're cut of
down would go prices. This war 10
being waged partly that you may OBJ
tain fair prices for your goods.
Farmers have been kept down IN
the matter of prices quite LONG
enough. and the government and the
people OF this country. are not go

Having entered the war In ordey
that we may have the right to send

the WARP Prices of farm produce
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
the same way as they have the farm.
ers of Northern France and Belgium
In these sections farm houses have
been shot to pieces, crops wasted
and burned; even fruit trees chopped
down, the cattle stolen, the men sent
into slavery to work for German
masters, their women ill-treated In
ways that cannot be talked OF In
print. their little children have had
their hands chopped off In order that
they may never fight for their coun.

You may say such things will not
happen here" They said this In
France and in Belgium. Such things
will happen here just as sure as you
are alive, unless we smash the Ger
mans so that they are utterly unable
TO reach the shores of this country.
The German feet and the German
army will take just one week to gel

made up their minds that America
shall pay for this war. They have
made up their minds that our wealthy
men shall give their money, and that
you farmers shall provide the food
for their armies and their people vi

After thinking over these facts. 10
there a farmer who will stand for

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region

which overworks the kidneys in their
effort to filter it from the blood and
they become sort of paralyzed and

gish and clog you must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels; remov-

Constipation and Indigestion.

These are twin evils. Persons suf-

troubled with constipation. Mrs. Rob-

when she first moved to Nation she
was a great sufferer from Indigestion
and constipation. Food distressed her
and there was a feeling like heavy
weight pressing on her stomach and
chest. She did not rest well at night,
and felt worn out good part of the
time. One bottle of Chamberlain s
Tablets corrected this trouble so that
she has since felt like different per-

BY MINORITY VOTE
MANY OF TIE PRESIDENTS HAVE
BEEN so ELECTED.
Garfield, for Instance, Had Less Than
Eight Thousand Majority Over Gen.
Haneock-Many Other Nota-
Bile Instances in History.

Many of our presidents have been
elected by minority of the popular
votes cast in elections when they we're
candidates. In his first race for the
Office Abraham Lincoln was elected by
minority of the popular vote, the
Knoxville Journal and Tribune re-
marks. While Douglass was given but
II electoral votes, Lincoln had 1906
3D. of the popular vote, while Doug
lass had 1,375,157.
OF the electoral vote Lincoln had 1870
of the 303, while ~ electoral votes
were given Breckenridge in the same
election; he had but $40, 1853 of the
popular vote.
In his first race Grant had pa cleo
toral votes. but his majority over
Horatio Seymour in the popular vote
was but 3O5.45 In his second race
Grant had a large popular majority
over Horace Greeley. Greeley died
before the meeting of the electoral col
lege and ~ electoral votes were count
ed for Thomas A. Hendricks of Indi-
ana, against 2S6 for Grant.
IN 1876 the popular vote for Samuel
j. Tilden was larger than that cast for
Rutherford B. Hayes. and the electoral
vote stood 1875 for Hayes and 1874 for
Tilden.
In 1880 James A. Garfield received
but 7,OlS more of the popular vote cast
than Gen. w. S. Hancock, but Garfield
had pa electoral votes to 155 for Han
cock.
AT the election held in 1888 Benja-
min Harrison had majority of 9S,017
of the popular votes and 219 of the
electoral Vote to 155 for Grover Cleve-
land. In 1892, with the same two can
didates pitted against each other, Gro
yer Cleveland had a plurality of the
popular vote of 62,6S3 and the cleo
toral vote was 219 for Cleveland to
145 for Harrison. That year Gen.
james B. Weaver. running as a green
back candidate. was given % electoral
votes.
In 1896 the candidates were William
Mckinley and William ]. Bryan. Nc
vote cast amounting to 601. 1854, but
his electoral vote was pit to 176 for
Bryan. With the same candidates In
the year 1900, Mckinley had plural
ity of $40, 100 and POP electoral votes
to 155 for Bryan.
In 1904, with Theodore Roosevelt
and Alton B. Parker on the running.
the largest popular plurality of any
candidate for president up TO that time
was to Roosevelt, 2,545,515. The cleo
toral vote stood 1886 for Roosevelt and
40 for Parker.
The largest popular vote cast for
any candidate up to or since that time,
unless it should be eclipsedby the bal |
loting of November T. was that cast for
William Ii. Taft in 1908, when he and
William J. Bryan were the opposing |
candidates. His aggregate vote stood |
Z 81 sos to 6. 400. 104 for Bryan. Taft's |
plurality was 1.269S04 and the cleo

for Bryan, or just two to one.
In 1912 Woodrow Wilson was elect |

Il million than that cast for Bryan AT |
The previous election. The popular
vote in 1872 was: For Wilson, 6,293.- |
