APPEAL TO FARMERS
To Intensity Production of
Food To Aid the.
Government

Situated as we are, in the heart
of the food producing sections of
the United States of America,
we are appealing to the farmers
of America, through every COM
mercial organization we can reach
to intensity the production of
food in every way possible, to
aid the government in the great
est crisis of it's history. This
will mean dollars and cents to
the farmer as we'll as service to
the country.
Consider well the best means
of attaining this end. We sug-
gest the following:
Do not increase the acreage in
alfalfa. You cannot secure i'm
mediate worthwhile results by
so doing.
Specialize on navy beans.
This is profitable because beans
are commissary necessity of
the first magnitude for the army.
Do not over-stress growing
things to can. Tin plate is high.
Glass cans must be used.
Prepare dried fruit instead.
This is wholesome and can be
kept through the winter.
Raise potatoes. There is no
chance for over-production un-
der present conditions and they
will yield an adequate profit.
Seed potatoes can scarcely be
produced now.
Do not neglect sheep raising.
The supply of wool is so low as
to seriously threaten our COM
fort. The price will remain high
enough to yield a handsome profit.
A small flock of sheep means
both money and patriotism. .
Increase the acreage to nom
perishable products. Every foot
of land should contribute its full
share toward the national up
keep.
Encourage the submission of
names to the National Defense
board before they are permitted
to elect men. Discourage enlist
ment to the army of those who
can render more efficient service
as producers. We must produce
in order to keep men at the front.
Preach the gospel of agricul-
ture efficiency to your neighbors.
1t involves patriotism and pro-
fitable returns.
Encourage the conservation of
young animals, such as shoats,
lambs and calves, until they have
reached reasonable maximum
in weight.
Encourage lectures by experts
from your state agriculture COL.
lege as a follow-up to the work
you are doing to increase pro-
duction.
This letter goes to 700 CONNER

cial bodies comprising the Ma
tienal Chamber of Commerce.
These organizations will have
other ideas to communicate. We
hope they will send them along
at once. This will be a large
factor in meeting the present
crisis.
Donate your own property to
the work without rental fee, fur
nish free seed to the people, stir
up enthusiasm in the work.
We send you this greeting as a
patriotic privilege believing that
the biggest thing we can do at
this time in helping to work out
our military problem is to en-
courage the enlistment of all
people in those activities that
will aid our soldiers at the front.

Five miles of main line rail

cost of administering this por-

tional purposes.

SMALL COMMITTEES
TO FLOAT NEXT LOAN
Work in Second Federal Reserve
Bank District Is Already
Being Planned.

NEW YORK. August 1s.-The actual
work in connection with the fotation
OF the next Offering of liberty bonds
in the second federal reserve bank dis
tr.ct will be done by small commit
tee. composed of not more than five
or six members. The decision to place
the responsibility for the success of
the Forthcoming loan in the hands of
4 few men was dictated. it was said,
today by the fact that the large num-
ber of subcommittees in the first loan
campaign resulted in confusion and
duplication Of effort. Among the names
mentioned as probable members of the
committee4 are Charles L. Mitchell.
president of the National City Com
pany; Allen B. Forbes. Guy Emerson
and Arthur NJ. Anderson.
Owing to the large number of young
er men employed in the financial dis
trict who have been drafted into the
National Army or are eligible to serve,
members of the liberty loan general
committee said today that il may be
difficult to raise a large enough force
of competent clerks to handle the de-
tail work of the sale and distribution
of the loan.

DR.. MICHAELiS OPPOSED

Article by German Chancellor Res
urrected to Show Political
Beliefs.

COPENHAGEN. August 1s-Interest-
ing light on the political creed of DIR
Georg Michaelis. the German cham
cellor. is given in an article which he
wrote in December. 1914. for an obscure
religious weekly. which has now been
resurrected. 1t condemns parliament
arism on the one hand and on the other
the selfish policy o. the conservative
party.
What democrat. in view of the mis-
cradle hasco of parliamentarism in
England. of the republican constitution
in France. can demand parliamentary
rule in Germany" DR.. MichaeIis asked
Who will dare to touch the emperor's
military authority" He Challenged
those who wish to place the moose of
ministerial responsibility to the law
about the neck of the chancellor"
After paying a tribute to the social
lists, DIR. Michaelis rebuked the conser-
vatives, saying they opposed franchise
reform and an Inheritance tax to pro
tect their own power and pocketbooks.
and determined their policy in regard
to other legislation by personal instead

Pope's Plan Considered
Shortsighted by Paris;
Terms Unacceptable


PARIS. August 1s.-The impression
gathered in well informed circles here
is that the peace proposal of Pope
Benedict has not modified the situation
from the viewpoint of the entente al
lies who have no reason TO depart
from the attitude they outlined in re-
My to President Wilson's peace note.
The pontiffs document will be con-
sidered with the difference due to the
personality of the author. hut not with
the idea that it necessarily calls for
a reply because it raises no new issue S
and simply seeks to put the belliser-
ents in the position they occupied at
the beginning of hostilities. which. II
is pointed out. is an absolute impos-
sibility.
Particular stress is laid on the mo-
ment chosen for the sending of the
note-when the military situation on
the Russian ard Rumanian fronts tenn
porarily is favorable to the central
powers-and on the proposition of the
Pope to leave Belgium and France to
restore their own devastated regions
while Germany. with the agricultural
and industrial machinery of which she
has stripped those regions. would en-
iov a crushing economic superiority for
wears to come.

Deemed Fatal Defect.

This is considered the fatal defect in
the pont:ff's plan-that the allies would
he precIuded from economic measures
for their protection against the central
empires, while Germany would be all
lowed to profit from her invasion of
Belgium and northern France.
The plan for the settlement of the
case of Aisace-Lo-raine. Trent and
Trieste is contrasted with the propcsi-
tion regarding Poland. the latter seem
ing to accord perfectly with the plans
of the central powers. while the for
mer is regarded as likely only to de-
veIop an interminable diplomatic en-
hroglio. The humanitar rian reasons for
the Pope's action are admitted and ap-
nrec.ated but they are considered
short sighted. as il is stated that the
peace proposed is so unstable as not
to guarantee it's duration beyond the
time necessary for the belligerents to
recover from the wastage of this war
and prepare for another. 1t is stated
that the real interests of humanity re-
ouire a decisive result IN this war.
which, 1t is held, alone can prevent
another.
