SERVING THE nation
THROUGH CONSERVATION

Hundreds of thousands of tons Of
coal unburned-millions of barrels of
oil unconsumed-ma power saved to
the extent of thousands of days Of Ia
because the milwaukee Road"
has electrified it's line across the Great
Continental Divide.
The tremendous power of mountain
waterfalls, spilling away wastefully for
ages has been harnessed to perform
the great task of moving the heavy
steel t, aims of this railway across the
mountains of the northwest, releasing
an invaluable store of the earth's treas
ured energy to other purposes so nee
essary to the nation now.
And this great achievement so i'm
portant in conserving the nations re-
sources, redeeming mountain travel
from smoke and cinders, is now being
extended through another great range
the Cascades in Washington.
When next you journey to the cities
Of the Pacific Northwest take the mod
ern electrified route-the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railway.

LA FOLLETTEISM CHIEF ISSUE
In Event of Special Election Being
Held to Name Husting's Successor
Interest Will Center on Anti
War Senator.

Madison, Oct. 24.-La Folletteism
will be the chief issue in the event OF
a special election being held to name
a successor to late United States Sen
atOr Paul O. Husting. Although the
attorney general in an unofficial opin-
ion has declared an election will be
necessary, Governor Philip has re-
quested a formal ruling before taking
decisive action. The Wisconsin 10y
atty legion will be big factor in the
senatorial campaign and it will oppose
every La Toilette candidate who ap-
pears in the field. Some of those men
toned as possible successors to Hust-
ing are: Governor Philip and Judge
John G. Karel, Milwaukee; Thomas
Kearney Of Racine, William n. Hatton
Of New London and former Gov. Fran
els McGovern, Milwaukee. All Of
these men are strong foes of La Fol-
lette.

The farmers DUTY
By w. D. HOARD,
Editor Hoard's Dairyman.

Our liberty has been attacked on
sea and on land our freedom and insti-.
buttons have been threatened, and our
nation placed in Jeopardy. Our sol,
diers are called to arms and are march
ing to the front; our good women are
devOting themselves to Red Cross,
work, and civilians everywhere are
aiding the government in it's multiple.
ity Of duties. War means supreme
sacrifice to every able-bodied citizen,
including men, women and children. It
means unselfsh and unremitting serv-
ice.
The tremendous preparation which
the government is making to bring this
awful war to a successful close means
the expenditure of billions of dollars.
This money must come from our citi
zens and from every class, including
the laborer, shopkeeper, manufacturer,
banker, fnancier and farmer. It Dor
ders upon treason for anyone, who can
spare a dollar, to withhold it from his
country's call.
There are millions of dollars depos-
tied in the banks by the farmers Of
this country which are earning them
little or nothing. The Liberty Loan
bonds offered by our government bear
4 per cent interest. If patriotic rea-
sons do not make q sufficient appeal
for the farmer to invest in them, his
selfish interest should move him to
II ioI .;c,4o
The Liberty Loan bonds are abso~
lutely safe investment. Every dollar
not required for cur business should
be ready for prompt purchase of these
bonds. This is no sacrifice, it is a
profitable investment for you. It is
helping your country and protecting
your home and business. This is one
Of the few chances that have come to
American citizens to have money serve
both patriotism and profit.
I am particularly anxious that that
American farmer should subscribe gen
erously to this second Liberty Loan.
He has responded nObly to the call for
increased crops and q hint to him that
his money is needed also, will lead,
I am sure, to the same unselfish devo-
ton to his nation. The farmer must
not neglect this duty. Our country
needs his financial assistance, and for
his own welfare he should be generous
with his wealth. There may be slack
ers by failing to offer their money, but
I vouchsafe the opinion that no finan
cial slackers will be found among the
farmers of America.
