SAFETY FIRST!

Safety first? OF course! You in

consider your fire insurance a bad in
vestment, do you? Of course it
doesn't bring you in any interest-oh.
does it? Safety is interest enough,
you say? Do you happen to know that
Liberty bond is just the biggest in
surance policy ever taken out, insur-
ance against worse things than fire
and lightning or accident and death?
DO you know that it not only insures
the safety Of you and your house and
your business, Of your children and
your children's children, but that it
does bring you in actual interest, not
only in safety, but in dollars and cents
besides?
Safety first? Of course! You have
to work hard for your money, don't
you? Living is high, and the children
are going to have better start in life
than you had, if you can give it to
them? Takes money; and you aren't
going to risk the money you've worked
for in any unsafe investment, are you?
Things often look all right; but you
never know when they're not; you be-
lieve in playing safe, yourself, don't
you? Any sensible man does; and the
Liberty bonds are the safest invest
ment in the country, the safest in the
world; because this is the biggest and
richest country in the world, and the
entire country would have to go &C.
tually bankrupt before the Liberty
bonds would be no good-and they
probably would be good, even then I!
See any signs Of the countrys going
bankrupt? Banks might, business
might-but the entire country? Safety
first? Sure! So put your money into
Liberty bonds and smile at trouble
coming-if you see any!

us a priceless heritage has q chance

lie should promptly say to the
world, which is listening, and, perhaps,
cynically criticizing: "When my coun-
try asks me for life or for money I
cheerfully offer both"
He should demonstrate that patriot
ism is something greater and more sa-
cred than an idle sentiment.
And in contributing according to his
means for the high purpose placed be-
fore him by his President he should
appreciate that in reality he is making
no gift, but is investing in the great
est security in the world - THE
PLEDGE OF THE UNITED STATES

Cream is made up of little fat glOb-

the last % years he has published the
Sioux City Courier, a weekly newspa-
per, the oldest newspaper in Sioux

Charles H. Schweppe, director of pub
Icity Of the Liberty Loan for the Sew

Lutte says:
ESQ far I have translated seven let

NO TIME FOR SITTING BY

save the building. He sat on the
fence. Someone suggested that he
should help.

"The others are so blamed energetic
and efficient that probably the fire will
be put out without me turning a
hand"
A ship was sinking. The captain
ordered all hands to the pumps.
keep the pumps going and I will land
you safely" that was the captains
assurance.
All of the sailors, except one, sprang
to the pumps. This one sat on a coil
of rope and smoked his pipe. "Do
you want to drown? asked a ship
mate.
II won't drown" was the cool reply.
"Not while you boys are doing my
share Of the work. I know you've got
to keep the pumps going whether I
help or not"
Once a great republic, in real need
Of the loyal assistance Of every citi-

ITO the WAGE
WORKERS OF THE
UNITED STATES
BY W. e. WILSON,
Secretary of Labor in President Will
sons Cabinet.

j The great European war in which
we are now involved came upon the
people Of the western hemisphere as
a terrible shock, and to no portion Of
the people did it come as a greater
shock than to the Wage-earnerS Of the
United States. They bel we'd in and
wanted international peace but they
wanted it OH q basis OF international
justice which would insure the right
of our people to govern themselves.
When the imperial German govern
ment undertook to destroy the lives
of our people and to impose a rule of
conduct upon US without our consent
in places under the jurisdiction Of the
United States government, there was
no course left but to resist.
The workers have more at stake in
this great conflict than any others, be-
cause it is only in a democracy that
the common people can come into
their own. The great privilege is not
given to all Of us to serve our coun-
try on the battlefield or in the
trenches, but there are other ways in
which we can serve and assist those
who are privileged to carry our flag
on the battlefields. of Europe The
impulse Of sacrifice for the common
good is sending the youth of our
country into the trenches in defense
of liberty, humanity and democracy.
To those Of US who must Of necessity
remain at home to till the soil, harvest
the crops, man the factories, mines
and mills, the way Is open for addi
tiOnaI service We too must make
sacrifices. The men who go forth to
do battle in the field must be equipped
and sustained. Funds must be forth
coming TO furnish the food, the fire.
arms and other supplies for the fight
ing forces Of the nation. Finances
for that purpose must be secured i'm
mediately from the sale of bonds. The
workers can help by contributing their
mite
/ am reminded Of the fable of
great drought when the crops were
wasting for the want of water, and
one little raindrOp said to another in
the clouds, Il would like to go down
to Che relief Of the farmer and his
perishing crops, but l am SO little it
would be useless" And another little
raindrOp replied, ut would be useless
for you to go down alone, but let us
all go down and our combined effort
will bring the needed relief" The adj
vice was accepted and a beautiful
shower poured down on the land and
the crops were saved for the harvest.
And so it is with the workers. The
funds each has available is but
drop, but all of the drops together can
make a shower of funds that will
furnish the needed supplies, bring JOY
to the hearts of the boys at the front
and CONSERVATION to our enemies.

MAKE LOAN A "HOWLING
SUCCESS"
BY JULIUS RoSENWALD,
Member of Advisory Commission OF
the Council of National Defense.

the Council of National Defense.
The call for the second Liberty
Loan should bring to every man and
woman keen realization Of the bless
ings which our government affords.
We all realize that we have the best
form of government any people ever
lived under, and unless we are willing
to serve that government we are not
deserving of it and probably will not
continue to enjoy its privileges.
The purchase of a Liberty Loan
bond is q service without being sac
rifice, patriotic service which every
one can render, the rate Of interest is
higher than that paid by savings
bank, and the bond carries the guaran-
tee of the United States government,
whose financial standing is as good as
all the banks in the world combined.
Over four million people subscribed
to the first Liberty Loan, the larger
part of which were wage-earners. The
wage-earners of Sears, Roebuck & Co.
alone purchased more than one million
dollars worth of the first issue Of Lib
erty Loan bonds.
Everybody should help to make this
second issue a ''howling success"

MANNER OF HANDLING SILAGE
When Time for Feeding Top Layer,
Which Has Nodded, Should Be
Removed-Heap Top Level.
Clemson College Bulletin)

N~I5IIIoUII DUIItSt bUIICIIII'J
When the time comes for feeding
silage the top layer, which will be
found to be nodded, should be re-
moved. The nodded part usually ex-
tends for several inches below the
surface. At least two inches Of silage
should be fed each day in order to
prevent the. formation of the mold.
The top Of the silage should be kept
level so as to expose the smallest sur
face possible to the air. Only enough
silage for one feeding should be put
out, as it soon dries out if not fed at
once.

RattIers and Their Fangs.

There are foE principal kinds OF
rattlers: Black diamond, mountain

known, every kind of RATHER is poison

first set of fangs appear. If these are
removed two more sets come, n'ne
days apart. If the third set is re-
moved the RATHER is said to be "hxeu'

The so-called "coon-cat," which Is
