FARMER TO HELP MAINTAIN
FREEDOM He HELPED WIN

In the first Liberty Loan Cam
paign, many Of the farmers OF the
country were not reached, and sub
scriptions from the rural committees
were few.
There were several reasons for this,
the foremost of which was that the
loan was put out in the spring. when
they were busy with their crops and
it was difficult for the canvassers to
interview them.
Then. too. they had to borrow mon
ey for their planting. Now their crops
in, and at the present high price OF
food stuffs they should have q large
sum of money in their hands.
For q loan Of portion of that
money, the Liberty Bond campaigners
are now appealing all over the coun-
try. The various farm bureaus and
societies are cooperating and good re-
suits are expected.
When liberty came to America the
farmer helped to bring It. He carried
the gun: he contributed unsparingly
OF his substance; he fed the armies
In the present struggle for universal
liberty it is certain he will do no less
He has already made splendid re-
Spouse to the demand for greater food
production. The first loan largely
overlooked the farmer the efforts
were concentrated in the cities.
The second campaign should give
every opportunity for farmers as In
diytduals and their organizations to
support the government in its financial
program. 1t is the highest expression
Of Americanism that all the people
should help carry the common load

Not the least important feature of
the new 3l1.b0O.00o,0oo bond Issue,
which is the biggest piece OF financing
Legislation In the worlds history. is
the tax status OF the new bonds. Some
important bankers believe that the
combination OF 4 per cent and ex-
emption from all taxes Of the interest
on $1,000 Of the bonds in themselves
guarantee the success of the sale.
The interest on bonds owned In ex-
cess Of $4,000 Of principal Is likewise
exempt from normal income taxes, but
the supertaxes apply on holdings above
5000. provided the holders total tax.
able income places him In the super
tax class. The owner Of $4,000 Of the
bonds, would therefore pay NO tar on
the hrst 5000 Of interest. but the SEQ
,ond 5000 might be subject 10 super
taxes. In other words the amount Of
interest over and above 5000 from the
bonds becomes general income. In the
same category as dividends on stocks,
subject to the ascending scale Of su-
lpertax rates which begin at $1,000.

PURCHASER OF LIBERTY
BOND D0UBLY REWARDED

Purchasers OF Government Bonds OF
the second Liberty Loan OF 1917 win
derive much comfort from the invest
ment, first, because OF the feeling that
they are helping the government, and
second, because OF the material bena-
hts accruing from the interest paid
every six months on the bonds.
Thrift is virtue more honored In
the breach than in the observance in
this country. and the preacher OF thrifs
rs likely to talk to unwilling carr.
For SO many years Americans have
been conscious of their extravagancol
and even somewhat proud Of II, that
they have feeling that II would be
unworthy for them to skimp.
One OF the attractive features OF
the Liberty Bonds is that the pur-
chaser will not have to keep them un-
til they become due. but can get hin
money back by selling the bonds any
day. But the great comfort that the
purchaser viii have, will be derived.
nrst. from the thought that he has
helped bis government In its hour
OF need, and second. that the money
VIII be working for him days, nights
and holidays. and, that every siz
months II will prove that fact by q
cash payment.

FARM LABORERS ARE READY
BUYERS OF LIBERTY BONDS

One of the big surprises of the Lib
efty Loan Campaign In rural districts
IS the way in which the farm laborers
are responding to the call.
These. men neither own farms nor
rent them; they are hired men and
ara not considered thrifty OF saving
group. yet thousands of these laborers
are asking about the loan and how
they can invest on the installment
plan.
The farmers of the country are thor
oughly awake 10 the critical situation
confronting the nation and the triple
duty they have taken upon themselves,
Is arst to produce food, second to loan
money, and third to give their sons
and daughters some evidence Of the
self sacrificing spirit for which the
American farmer is well known In the
history OF the country,
