The Tucumcari news and Tucumcari times. [volume] (Tucumcari, N.M.) 1907-1921, 1917-05-03

This is no fanciful picture, but sober
facts. Many a mar will make light OF
IL until he comes to think IL over, but
| venture to say that few will treat /;
lightly after careful thought. 1t Is
no more impossible than the grea;
war itself appeared TO be, only ! few
days before II began.
IL Is true that we can greatly in
crease the available food supply out of
grain now used in making liquors,
and by the reducing household waste.
But when these two things are done,
and done thoroughly, they will not
be enough. The final decision will
still rest in the hands Of the men who
raise our food in the first place.
The clear duty of the nation Is TO
guarantee the farmers "a fair price for
their crops when grown, and a reason
able supply of labor at harvest. The
clear duty Of the farmer is to raise
food enough to win this val for de-
mocracy against Kaiserism.
No such responsibility has ever rest
ed on any class of men since the world
began as rests today on the farmers
of America.
Sincerely yours.
CLIFFORD PINCHOT,
The Tucumcari news and Tucumcari times. [volume] (Tucumcari, N.M.) 1907-1921, 1917-05-03
HELP YOUR

The following from Clifford Pinchot
a noted writer, should be OF interest
TO every reader of the News:
''ln this great time, when every cit
izen must do his part, the President
has made his chief appeal to the men
who live on the land. He is right In
doing so, for the safety Of u country
just now is in the hands Of our farm
ers. What | mean is not merely our
safety and the safety of our Allies In
the matter of food. | mean that the
safety of the United States against
foreign invasion hangs on the decision
Of the farmers Of the forty-eight sis
ter states.
The two great weapons in this war
are arms and starvation. The war
against German arms will be won or
lost in France-the wal against star
walton will be won or lost in America.
The Kaiser cannot whip the French
and English armies and the English
navy while England has food. But
it is still possible that the German
submarines may be able to keep food
enough from reaching England to
StarNe ner INTO SuDTHlSSiOH'
If the submarines win, the first item
in the Kaiser's terms of peace will be
the English fleet. With the English
fleet in his possession, the Kaiser will
be master Of the world.
What will happen to US then? Ev-
cry man who stops to think knows the
answer. We shall have money, food,
labor, land,-everything that is desir-
able in the world except the power to
protect what we have. Experts esti-
mate that it will take us nine months
to get ready to meet a German army
Of even 10000 men, with modern ar
tillery. Under such circumstances,
would the Germans treat US better
than they have already treated Bel
gium and France?
Even IL the armies of the Allies
should crush the German military pow
err this summer, before the shortage
Of food can reach the point Of want,
the world would still need vast guam
titles Of American food. But if they
safe, and that is to grow food enough
on our farms for ourselves and our
Allies, and to put ships enough on
the sea to carry the food, in spite of
the submarines, to the men who are
fighting our fight.
II the wal lasts beyond this sum-
mer, it will be the American farmer
who will win or lose the war, who
will overcome militarism and auto
cracy, oil allow them to spread and
control the world ourselves included.
The Tucumcari news and Tucumcari times. [volume] (Tucumcari, N.M.) 1907-1921, 1917-05-03

ran through the war zone and mans
ambition to be victor has deemed it
that certain cargo on that
liner be lost.
An insane desire to reach the life
boats seizes one and all. In some
cases the men even forgot their chiv-
airy in an effort to be saved.
Slowly the huge hulk sinks beneath
the waves while the frantic passengers
cling to the sides of the life boats,
overturned by their heavy loads. Cries
for help sink beneath the blue of the
water unheeded Tor there is no life
about except the sea gulls flying in
circles in the clear sky above.
