The Farmers Duty.

In this time of war there is a special
duty laid upon every American citizen
Some have to bear arms and risk their
lives and safety on dangerous seas and
on the battle fronts in Europe. Others
must care for those of them who are
wounded and in performing that duty
risk their lives almost equally with those
who do the actual fighting. There are
so many brave Americans performing
such duties for their country that those
of us who remain at home in safety and
security must needs feel the obligation
on us to do our part.
The farmers of America have an i'm
portant duty, vital national economic
function imposed upon them. They must
provide food for our armies, food for our
families at home and food for our allies
abroad. The great and vital Importance
of this service has been recognized and
the farmers of the country are directed
to be given and will receive especial con
from military service.
The service that the farmers of Amer
lea are to perform is in the highest de-
gree patriotic, but it is to be profitable,
too. Never before has the American
farmer had such market for his prod
uets or such tremendous purchasers as
he has now in the governments of the
United States and our allies. And the
funds with which these products are to
be purchased are practically all raised
by the sale of Liberty loan bonds.
The presidents patriotic call to the
people of America made July II will
find ready response from the farmers
of our country,
"No true patriot will permit himself
to take toll of our soldiers heroism in
or seek to grow rich by the she'd
ding of their blood. He will give as free
ly and with as unstinted sacrifice as
they. They are giving their lives. VIII
he not at least give his money!"
But buying Liberty loan bond is not |
making a gift. 1t is the safest of in
vestments, and considering also its rate
u iHbtitcl anu HOitdAdbic itdtuic ~ ~
, remunerstive investment of the first
order. Some pronounce it the premier
security of the world.
The farmers of America are given an
,asy way to serve their country, show
heir patriotism, and greatly benefit
Money is needed to feed,
,quip, arm, and clothe our soldiers at
he front. And money is needed, too,
o buy the products of Americas farms
or our army and navy and the armies
md navies of our allies. A great pro-
'ortion of this money has been raised
nd is to be raised by the sale of Liberty
Dan bonds. The farmer in supporting
he Liberty loan serves his country, his
eople, and himself. and he serves. too,
he cause of liberty, the cause of hui
lsnity and civilization.

There Are Three Undisputed Mantsa.
mas In This Country.
Andrea Mantegna. the brilliant mas
ter OF the Paduan school (143l-1506)
was distinguished amcAg the Italian
masters OF the renaissance by a plas-
tic style which made his figures on
canvas not so much an expression OF
paint as OF carved marble or nodded
bronze.
or all the painters of his time he
was generally regarded by critics as
being most sensitive to the beauty OF
rounded form as distinct from outline
Mantegna died in Mantua In poverty,
due not to lack of appreciation. but to
his own extravaganza.
The works painted by Mantegna,
apart from his ffcscoes and the tenn
pera pictures of the Triumph Of Gaze
sar," now hanging in Hampton court,
are not numerous. Authorities seem to
agree that not more than thirty-fve
of the so called Mantegnas now ex-
tant are to be accepted as authentic.
In America there are only three I'M
disputed Mantegnas. One is the "Ad-
Grafton Of the Magi," belonging to the
John s. johnson collection In Philadel-
phia; another is the Madonna and
Child" Of the Altman collection In tie
Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the
third is the Madonna and Child" OF
