Uraes People to Aid In Winning War
by Liberal Purchase Of Liberty
Bonds-Safer Investment Than Lands
and Good Method of Converting
Property to Be Left to Children.

Davenport, June 6.-Here's what
Bruce T. Seaman, one of the hes:
known farmers in Iowa, thinks about
the liberty loan:
Should we buy war bonds? You
bet your boots we should! It's one
way. and one Of the greatest ways of
winning this war; There's no use
talking. The United States has got to
win and will win. =
If Germany wins this war" Mr.
seaman continued. why, if Germany
wins this war you can have my farm
for a third what it is worth today.
Maybe 1 would get the best of it at
that. L. .a ID.
THE success Of the country means
the success of the people individually.
A genuine democracy is the only form
OF government that should be toler-
ated by intelligent human beings. If
the United States loses down goes de-
mocracy.
Democracy has been on trial for
the last 100 years or more. The
oiiyarchs Of Europe have predicted its
downfall. 1t Is only in the last fifty
years that the crowned heads have
given up the idea that it is possible
for people to rule itself without
kings or ernperors Il the United
States loses and democracy goes down,
then say down goes the hopes and
ambitions of every American citizen
And down goes the civilization Of the
Ia,d. All OF this depends on the
States winning the war.
IRE all in a boat together now.
Il we don't help the government by
BID ng liberty bonds we'll lose the wal
ami our money at the same time. I
believe the farmers of Scott county
will buy bonds literally. I'm going to
buy some and most of my neighbors
are going to do the same.
Everybody who has got some
money to spare ought to buy liberty
bonds for the sake Of patriotism. Be-
sides that, it's the safest investment
a man can make.
The interviewer then asked Mr.. Sea-
man If he regarded the liberty bono
safer than Scott county land. You
bet I do" he replied. It's the safest
thing you can leave for your children
/, ], know many foreigners Swedes, Nor
twegians, Bulgarians, Roumanians-al
these people are going to take bonds

to keep after everyone. Urge them al

CROP UNSATISFACTORY w WEST
Not Sufficient to Meet Requirements
Saws IT, g. Report


washington, June Crop prospect:
in the middle west are unsatisfactory,
according to the June report of the fed
eral reserve board on conditions in the
Chicago federal reserve district.
With but small winter wheat
crop" says the report, "it is difficult to
believe that even favorable weather
conditions will produce crops of spring
wheat. oats and corn sufficient to meet
the requirements of this country when
it is taken into consideration that Eu
rope will call upon us for wheat alone
to an amount estimated at 100000, 900
bushels.
Foreign governments are reported
to have been heavy buyers Of futures
in wheat in order to protect their re-
qurements."
Business conditions generally in the
Chicago district are reported by the
board to be satisfactory on the whole,
altho there is considerable evidence Of
a waiting attitude among business men
in certain lines.
THE call for personal economy"
says the report, is having it's effect
upon those retailers who handle other
than the necessities Of life, and many
are waiting to see the results of the
governments taxation policy and it's
effect upon their individual incomes.
Manufacturing establishments re-
port a good volume Of trade, with the
labor problem growing more serious
and the car situation somewhat alievi-
ated
In the banking field there is but
little activity. Deposits are holding up
well and discount rates are firm. Fl.
nancial institutions as well as the bond
houses are working for the success Of
the liberty loan
Clearings in Chicago for the first
twenty one days of May, the report
shows, were s1,573,0OO,0Oo, being $685.
900. 900 more than for the correspond
ing twenty-one days in May, 1916.
Clearings reported by eighteen cities in
the district outside Of Chicago amount
ed to 1904, 100000 for the first fifteen
days of May, 1917, as compared with
s233, 600, 900 for the first fifteen days Of
May, 1916.
Deposits in the eight central reserve
city member banks in Chicago were
$72s, 100000 at the close Of business
May 81. 1917, and loans were s49s,ooo,-
600. Deposits show decrease Of APP
