Liberty Bonds Safe Investment For Farmers

The Missouri farmers answer to
Germans campaign OF freghtfulness
was increased production. They in
creased the acreage and the yield OF
potatoes, they increased the acreage of
corn, and this fall they are increasing
the acreage of wheat so that Missouri
will produce its quota of bread stuff.
They have cooperated in increasing
their areas of food crops and are ex-
erting unusual efforts to produce
maximum yields of those crops.
"A great majority of farmers are
actuated by the highest patriotic mo.
tives. Hundreds of letters have been
received by the Missouri Council of
Defense from farmers vino asked how
they might best serve the country ddr.
ing the present war. These men are
doing everything within their power
toward increasing production and they
are seeking other ways in which to
serve.
One very important way in which
every man who is able may serve his
country is to invest in Liberty Loan
Bonds" said s. b. Mumford. chair
man of the Missouri Council of De
fense and Dean of the University of
Missouri. College of Agriculture re-
Gently. "The purchase of bonds at
this time will Strpnghthcn the Govern
ment MS nothing else can do. The
Liberty Loan Bond is the safest form
of investment known. 1t is as safe as
an investment in real estate. because
tie same Government which guarHu.
tees the rights of property holders
guarantees the bonds. Furthermore
the bonds are negotiable by reason of
their souuduess So that they may be
sold at par or premium at any time
the farmer may need ready money.
1t is to be hoped that when the
final statistics of bonds sold ale avail.
able that the farmer will have main
talned, in this respect as in others,
his reputation for patriotic service. In
this way Missouri farmers can answer
the campaign against democracy MS
they have strongly answered in their
increased production of food"
BY purchasing Liberty Loan BnuG,
the farmer not only renders patri.
Otic service but he also makes avail
able the financial machinery which
guarantees a market for farm pro
duets ms well as the products of other
industries in this country. because the
monsy made available by the sale o.
Liberty Bonds will be spent in thi,
country. Details regarding the spcon,
loan will be published in the news
papers or they may be had from any
banker.

ing year which sum may have to

ment should be made in the
equipment Of the laboratory and

no cause for immediate aIarm,

Herbert Hoover. food adminStra-
tor, has issued an appeal to the coun-
try to join the general movement for
the observance Of food conservation
week, which has been officially AN
nounced for October u to 2S. A
house toulouse canvass of the - ,0O0,-
600 families iu the United States will
be feature of the campaign aud
every man and woman will be asked
to enroll. Food will win the war, will
be the slogan. Mr.. Hoover and Pres.
Wilson Jointly make this public APP
peal, From the very beginning of
the war it has been conceded by the
men in authority to know of what they
are taking, that before peace was de-
clarcd it would be bread aud not bull
lets that would bring the German peo-
pie to their proper senses Bullets
are to be dreaded and bullets can kill,
but bread is far more effective in the
long run. for men cannot live with
out bread and men can do without
bullets. Without food All army eau
not fight, The great Napoleon is the
father of the statement that an army
cannot fight on empty bellies. How
ever willing the army may be to con-
tinue the struggle, unless it is fOrti
fled with food and physical strength
the fight must soon come to an end,
In order to supply our allies with food
the conservation movement must be
accepted seriously by the American
people. They must not begin to econ
omize with food produce because of
tue excessive cost, A better and
more uplifted motive should actuate
them in their decision to aid the gov
ernmont. 1t must be the patriotic
desire tO. do their bit toward bringing
to an end the dreaded war, Germany
can be starved into submission. 1t
may take time to do this, but the gov
ernment has been actively engaged,
since President Wilson issued his dec
laration of war, in cutting off every
possible source of food supply, With
evidence before him that American
food had reached Germany through
devious channels, aud that Other ma
tions friendly toward the Teutons had
been aiding in smuggling food sup
plies across the border, the United
States found it necessary to place an
embargo upon further shipments.
This done, the nation must sage ut
home, supply our allies and watch
Germany, forced to her knees, beg
for peace. Food week will be oh
served during the last days OF the
month all over the United States and
the people will be urged to practically
enlist in the conservation movement.
