THE FARMERS DUTY.
(By w. d. Hoard)
Editor, Hoard's Dairyman.

Editor, Hoard's Dairyman.
Our liberty has been attacked on
sea and on la1d, our freedom and in
situations have been threatened, and
our nation placed in jeopardy. Our
Soldiers are called to arms and are
marching to the front; our coed wo'
men are, devoting themselves ID Red
Cross work, and civilians everywhere
are aiding the government in its
multiplicity of duties. War means sa-
creme sacrifice to every able-bodied
citizen, including men, women and
children 1t means unselfish and UNI
RENTING service.
The tremendous preparation which
the government is making to bring
this awful war to a successful close
means the expenditure of billions of
dollars. This money must come from
our citizens and from every class, in
GLIDING the laborer, shopkeeper,
manufacturer, banker, financier and
farmer. 1t borders upon treason for
anyone, who can spare dollar, to
withhold it from his country's call.
There are millions of dollars de-
posted in the banks by the farmers
of this country which are earning
them little or nothing. The Liberty
Loan bonds offered by our govern
ment bear 4 per cent interest. If pa
triotic reasons do not make suffi-
cient appeal for the farmer to invest
in them, his selfish interest should
move him to render his country finan-
cial assistance.
The Liberty Loan bonds are abso-
lutely safe investment. Every doli
lar not required for our business
should be ready for prompt purchase
of these bonds. This is no sacrifice,
it is profitable investment for you.
1t is helping your country and pro-
tecting your home and your business.
This is one of the few chances that
have come to American citizens to
have money serve both patriotism
and profit.
am particularly anxious that the
American farmdr should subscribe
generously to this second Liberty
Loan. He has responded nobly to the
call for increased crops and hint to
him that his money is needed also,
will lead, am sure, to the same UNI
selfish devotion to his nation. The
farmer must not neglect this duty.
Our country needs his financial assis-
lance, and for his own welfare he
should be generous with his wealth.
There may he slackers by failing to
offer their money, but l vouchsafe the
opinion that no financial slackers
will be found among the farmers Of
America.

Grand i'm 1.-THE Man From
Wicklow.
HAVE YOU SECURED
YOUR SEAT YET?
O'Hara's Songs and Special Orchestra
viii Make Choice Program,
and a Packed House Should
Greet Him.

One of the genuine treats of the
theatrical season in this city will be
the engagement at the Grand Opera
House in DEBORAH next Thursday,
Oct. II, of Fiske O'Hara, the popu-
lar Irish star, whose annual visits are
eagerly looked for by our theatre
goers. Mr.. OHara has won a large
and faithful following in this city by
the genuine merit of his plays, as we'll
as by the clean and wholesome nature
of their stories. This seasons offer
ing is THE Man From Wicklow. 1t
is a comedy in three acts, and was
written by Anna Nichols. The chief
character in the story is Robert En-
NETT O'Donovan, romantic young
Irishman of the early part of the last
century, whose delightful love Man
ing AID sweet tenor voice, succeed
in winning the winsome little heroine
Eileen Norwood. The period and
locale furnish splendid opportunity
for handsome stage pictures and cos
tunes, and Manager Pitou has taken
full advantage of this fact. The sup
porting company is up to the usual
O'Hara standard, and, together, with
the augmented orchestra carried by
Mr.. O'Hara, the offering this year is
said to be one of the genuine treats
of the season. Read the fine program
printed in another column of this
paper.

That DecOrah Man Was Great.

Last night the audience attending
the Star theatre was treated to one of
the best vaudeville performances
given at this popular picture house.
Last week a DEBORAH man was adj
vertised to give a performance Of
slight of hand work, etc., but his
identity was not disclosed. The artist
proved to be Mr.. S. H. Dahl, popu
lar employee of the Lutheran Pub
fishing House, who has been a resi-
de1t here for the past two years. No
professional ever put on a better
performance and we bar none, Kel-
Ter and the rest of the big ones. The
tricks and stunts he pulled were Won
derful and those witnessing them are
still wondering how they were done.
His work was smooth, not course
move in it, and we dare say he can
put on this performance for a good
many nights yet so that all can have
the pleasure of witnessing his mys-
FERROUS acts. He is a genius and can
command the undivided attention OF
an audience anywhere.
