TAKING UNCLE SANS MONEY.

Advertising space in a reputable
newspaper is a commodity with as
real a value as n barrel of -four.
The Forum has that space for sale,
but none for sale at a profit to the
United States government.
The National Advertising Advisory
board has recommended an advertise
ing campaign calling for the expendi-
ture of from $1.OOO,OOO to $4,000 900
for the next Liberty Loan campaign
The Forum has faith enough in its
own goods to believe they are worth
the money charged for them, wheth-
er the patron is a merchant or the
United States government.
But The Forum does not care to
mix patriotism and profits, and If the
government does decide to buy dis
play space in The Forum to adver-
tise its Liberty Bonds, it will pay
price that will simply cover the cost
of producing that amount of white
space in one of The Forums pages.

sumner must be remembered. His
rights demand attention the
minute a fair profit is assured.
The governments own reports
show that in two-thirds of the
state of North Dakota, the crop
was almost a failure. The wheat
is returning but three, four and
five bushels to the acre. At 50 a
bushel, allowing for seed re-
quirements, that will mean an
actual loss to the farmer, and
many Of them will have to be
financed next year. At So he
can get out even and have some
thing to start on next spring.
Some farmers in the eastern
third of the state will make big
profits at SO, but those profits
will shrink almost to the vanish
ing point when last years losses
are considered. The income tax
will also take some Of them and
rightly so.
Another angle will show the
unfairness of a So price to North
Dakota. All of the southern
grain has been marketed at the
current figures. One little strip
of country along the northern
border will be asked to stand a
tax of 81 a bushel on its grain,
while the rest of the country es-
capes.
Communicating" at So a
bushel is not far from confisca-
ton, when crop conditions are
considered. If that policy is to
be adopted, it must not stop with
wheat. Fuel, cotton, steel,
leather, lumber and every other
commodity raised or manufac-
tured in this country, must be
confiscated. It spells economic
chaos, and financial panic in
the midst of war.

riot: Sir-As / feel that loyalty de-
mands ali -ufiragists who favor the
action Of the National Woman's Party
In picketing President Wilson should
publicly declare themselves, may 1
ask you 10 give me the opportunity To
do so through your columns. From a
government which is daily'asking sac
rifice and service of every possible sort
from women, we are asking only our
constitutional right of self govern
ment. On the first page Of every daily
in the country, dudley Field Malone
told President Wilson that "the whole
country gladly acknowledges that no
vital piece of legislation has come
through congress these five years ex-
eept by your extraordinary and bril-
liant leadership"
The National Woman's Party long
since recognized that fact and that Is
why we have stood at his gate for
nearly a year asking: "Mr. President,
how long must women wait for lib
erty."
Faithfully Yours,

J. @. PETTIS
PIONEER
Former Crawford County Resden!
Dies at His Home in Durham,
NO., February 10th.
LEFT CRAWFORD IN YEAR 1870
Was Licensed Baptist Preacher, but
y Followed Farming Most Of Life >
We'll Remembered. H.

Merle J. Petis, who resides at Dur
ham Missouri, writes the Review that
his father, Mr.. J. o. Pettis, died at that
place Friday, February 1G, after a lin
gering sickness. Mr.. ,Pettis was one
of the pioneer residents of Crawford
county and lived on farm west of
Denison until 1898, when he moved
south of Denison. In 1908, he moved
to Durham, Missouri Old friends and
neighbors of the deceased will be in
terested in the brief sketch OF his life
which follows:
j. O. Pettis was born on farm
in Wyomig county, N. Y, July, II, lS45.
From there he removed with his faith
err to Wisconsin, where he grew to
manhood. His early education was
in preparation for the ministry but
he was forced to leave school at the
age of 10 by the death Of his father.
In 1870 he married Mary S. Green,
with whom he removed to Iowa, in
1876, residing until 1898 west of Deni-
son and for five years later on the
John Jones farm south of Denison. In
1903 he removed to Durham. Mo. His
four children survive him. They are:
w. A. Pett;s. of Canada; Merle J. Pet,
tbs and Mrs. James T. Williamson, Of
New Mexico, and Miss Amy M. Pettis,
of Missouri
Altho engaged in farming all his
life, Mr.. Pettis frequently exercised
his gift of preaching, being licensed by
the Baptist church. He was an earnest
bible student and remarkably well
versed in the scriptures. Many friends
will recall his services as Sunday
school superintendent in the Martel
school house on the Paradise.
He died early in the morning, of
Feb. Is, 1916 after a lingering illness.
Interment was made in the Durham
cemetery by the side Of his wife, who
died in 1911.

Ben Smith SELLS
HIS fine FARM
Receives $500 per Acre for 118 Acres
Increase on the Price on the
Marshall Farm $4,000
WILL TAKE TRIP TO OREGON
Undecided As to Future Home, but
May Decide to Locate in West
Sale Ad in This Issue.

Mr.. Ben Smith closed a deal last
Thursday whereby he disposed of his
fine 11S acre tract of land located just
north and east of Denison for $500
per acre. Ed Champion purchased IS
acres, including the fine modern resi-
tdence and dairy barns, while the bal.
ance, 40 acres, was bought by Mr..
Chas. Shives. The farm is one of the
best improved adjoining Denison and
on account of it's close proximity to
town makes it particularly desirable.
Some skeptical people do not believe
that there is money to be made in the
high priced Crawford county land,
but Mr.. Smith cannot be made to be-
lieve this. Eight years ago he pur-
chased the 100 acres from Mr.. Mar
shall, paying $14,900.OO for it. A short
time ago he sold 40 acres of it for
$500, and acre tract for $500. The
11S acres sold last week totaled $685.
400, so the 100 acres has brought him
$4,000, or an increase during the
past eight years Of just $4,000, an ad
vance of $3,737 for each year that he
owned it. y. .
Mr.. Smith has spared no expense
in improving the land during the years
that he has owned it and it is consid-
cred one of the best farms in this To-
cality. He built fine modern resi-
dence, dairy barn and all the neces-
sary hog barns, sheds, etc. For the
past few years he has been conduct
ing dairy farm. n.,s.. :. 2.s4Y
Mr.. Smith is advertising public
auction and after his property is dis,
posed of he and his wife expect to
AXE trip to Oregon. They have no
plans for the future, but it is posi- !
lie that they may locate in the west.
