We are glad to state it.
We are for America, first, last,

US. must hep determine whether
America is to be a free country
or no.. This may appear far.

We have only the highest re-

whatever for a war party that

Kaiser that will plunge his coun-

of his ambition to rule more peO-
pie, that will sacrifice the best,
noblest, most useful men of his
own country and others to the
war god. We have no use for a
system of Government that will
permit such things. No use Cor
system where the people have
no voice, but must give Of their

all at the pleasure of one man,
and it is the German people who
are suffering and sacrificing, not
the Kaiser. No, we are against

The fortunate groom is a mer-

we sincerely hope the war may
be prosecuted, until Germany is
delivered to the German people,
until they have a Government in
which they have a voice, until
Belgium. Servia, and other out
ragged countries are restored TO
their people. All this we wish,
not alone in the interest of these
peoples, but also in the Interest
OF America, that she may never
again be forced to go thru what
the fathers, mothers, sisters,
wives and sons of America are
going thru now, and, God grant
it may not be, what we fear is
worse to come.
We are informed that it will
be years before the fields of
France can be p'owed without
turning up the bones of men of
France. The same is true in
Belgium. In certain sections
every well has been poisoned and
dead animals thrown into them,
every house and barn burned,
every fruit tree cut down, every
piece of farm machinery piled
into a heap and burned. Il
America were to be attacked, in
low wide a strip on our coasts
would these conditions prevail?
How many miles back from our
coasts would it be impossible
after the war to plow the fields
without turning up the homes of
boys from all over America?
Estimating but one boy to every
two families there are five hun.
dred thousand boys reached by
Successful Farming. In TIER
interest and because of the
heartackes, misery and worse,
it would mean to their mothers,
sisters, sweethearts, we say
again We are glad America is
doing her part now while We
have help, that the war may
never be transferred to our
shores. Wake up men and
women of America and look the
situation in the face, dishearten.
