A War Bank.

Inc American war lOOu SlLud-
ton and Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture Carl VroOman's tour
of the South and West, bringing
us a message from President
Wilson, must convince us thai
each individual as we'll as every
class, should show patriots by
attention to preparedness; by
doing a full share to forestall in
America the hunger calamity
that has befallen Germany. The
Federal Land Bank located at St.
Louis sends us the following i'm
portant information:
The Federal Land Bank, by
lowering interest rates and ar
ranging for long time loans, re-
lieves the farmer of worry and
thus sharpens his mind and
speeds up his physical energies.
The local bankers can cooperate
with us-and we feel certain they
wildly cheerfully granting tenn.
porary assistance to the farmer
whose obligations mature on a
date earlier than can be reached
by him through his National
Farm Loan Association. The
farmer may need the money for
fertilizer, which would increase
the crop yield; or for improved
implements, or for an additional
team, which would allow him to
widen his cultivated acreage. or
he may need fencing so that he
can get his herd of hogs on to
grass; and by these means swell
the total of food produced. 1t is
a patriotic act to help him and
thus increase his output.
$50 far as information is in the
hands of this Federal Land Bank
the bankers, as a class, stand
ready and willing to grant this
help. Cooperation by our fel.
low bankers throughout the
farming districts will be appre-
ciated by US, and would prove
their patriotism to all observers
in a most convincing manner.
In the meantime the Federal
Land Bank has reached the point
of approved forms for carrying
on the business, and it only re.
mains to have them printed and
distributed when the appraisers
for the bank will be engaged in
visits to Farm Loan Associations
for the purpose of final approval

All Work Together.

Many forces have been put in
motion and numerous agencies
are at work in order that the
American nation shall do its full
duty in the war which has been
entered upon. Every good citi-
zen realizes that he is called up
on to do certain part, and help
bring the war to an end as speed
lily as possible.
With most of our readers prob
ably the most patriotic work in
which they can be called upon to
engage is the production of suf-
icient food. All are expected tC
enlist for service in one way OF
another, to produce and to save
being as necessary as to fight,
Let US altogether cooperate anC
do those things which are close
at hand.

Are We Rising to the Sit
uatiOn.

When the story of Americas
participation in the Great War
is written with the future lhistO-
rian's perspective, it is not like
" that the record for the months
of April, May and June, 1917,
will be shown in a discreditable
light. The country as a whole
had not dreamed of becoming in
voIved in Europe's struggle.
The party in power had stead
tasty refused to make even such
elementary preparations for nat
ional defense as to adopt sys-
tenn of universal training, or to
buy rifles. Mr.. Bryan's most ia
nous remark, early in the war
period, was to the effect that in
case of need we could raise an
army of million men between
sunrise and sunset. But a mill
ion citizens without arms of any
kind would be as helpless to re-
pei attack as a flock of sheep
against a pack of ferocious
/ wolves. So far as we are aware
Mr.. Bryan never once expressed
himself in favor of having the
Government hold in it's arsenals
a million reserve rifles for its
citizenery in some hour of need.
In that trying period of more
than two years and a half, wher
patriotic bodies like the Nationa
Security League were working
desperately for preparedness
the great majority of the leaders
of the party now in power were
deprecating such efforts, ant
were aspersing the motives o
those who were demanding a
! least some official forethought il
: respect to military needs.
We are not saying these thing
to arouse once more the contro
; versies of the immediate past
Everybody now understands tina
! the country ought to have acte'
strongly and responsibility in al
of its policies from the very mo
ment when Belgium was crushe,
and when Europe. Asia, and AT
