Bankers and Brokers
Show Fine Patriotism

When your banker or your broker
encourage you to buy United States
Liberty Bonds, don't make the mis-
take of thinking that he has any self
ish motives. The fact is that he does
not make any commission whatever
by selling these war bonds, On the
contrary, all the work that a banker
Or a broker undertakes in connection
with United States Liberty Bonds is
at his own expense,
Seldom has any class OF business
men shown finer patriotism than that
exhibited in recent weeks by the bank
ers and brokers. The federal govern
ment is under great obligations to
them for the high spirit Of public duty
they have shown, for the enthusiasm
they have manifested in familiarizing
the public with United States Liberty
Bonds and in encouraging people to
buy.
II you have not yet ordered your
United States Liberty Bonds, see your
banker or your broker today And re-
member that in handling your order
he is working unselfshly for Ameri-
can honor and for the permanence Of
liberty on earth.

Farmer of Year 1917

airy war it was the "embattled farm.
ers" who fired the shot heard round
the world.
Today the American farmer Is again
doing something that will be heard
round the world. but in a different
way.
The world Is waiting on the Amer.
lean farmer for its food It's hope is in
him. 1t wishes him good weather and
abundant crops. and it will pay him
well.
The farmer will help win battles
that he will never see. For our boys
at the front will be well fed and cour.
ageous, thanks to his industry and
patriotism.
Nor is the farmers part in this world
warm this greatest catastrophe his.
tory has ever had 20 record--limited to
producing food. He has his part 70
play before crops are ready for har.
vest. For right now, the nation needs
the farmers support IN a different
way. It needs his cooperation on Lib
erty bonds.
These bonds are issued to equip our
soldier boys with everything they will
need for their safety, comfort and
fighting strength. The government will
pay every bond buyer ga per cent in
terest, free from all taxes, and will re
turn to him the entire principal. Lib
erty bonds are safe, sure, profitable
investment.
II is the hope OF President Wilson
that not a single fnrrner In the coun
try will be seen without a Liberty
bond button in his buttonhoie.

Ticla eradication should be given an

4 WAR SLOGAN FOR THE SOUTH

Faced by the war demand for nose
meat. let us take advantage of an op-
portunitv which lies close TO hand. Let
us recognize that it is our definite duty
to turn our abundant grasses, our chea'
and available concentrated feeds, ana
our mild climate TO good account in the
production of beef and milk and butter
And let US realize that to do this we
must work together TO remove the grea'
obstacle-the tick.
Not only will the elimination Of the
tick make possible the greater and
more profitable development of our
native cattle. II will make possible also
the bringing in Of better beef and milk
stock which now cannot live
under the attacks of ticks and the
tpadlv germs of cattle fever thew trans
nit. determination Of the tick, there
for, will give US quick, direct returns j"
the form of increased growth Of native
stock, and it will at the same time lay
2 firm foundation for the building w
If a much more profitable cattle raising
industry in a year or two-while the
war still may be in progress.
The South g battle against the tick
must not lag. It is not work which may
be dropped during the course of war,
the United States Department of Agri-
culture points out. Rather it must be
pushed the more vigorously in order
that territory may be rescued from the
unsatisfactory and often improbable
sattle raising which the tick imposes,
and devoted to the more efficient and
more profitable production of rleat and
milk which may he carried on in the
territory.
The ticks works for our enemies by
keeping down the supply Of three of on,
most important foods. Let us wage
