War and the Farmer

For the first time III nineteen years country II
is at war that may last three months three
years longer. It behooves every man, woman and II
child to consider what this MEANS and what the duty
is which they owe to America and the World
Particularly does it behoove the Farmer For on
his labors may depend the issue OF World War.
Even if, by some miracle, the War should end be-
fore fall the best authorities unite in declaring that
the World will still face the prospect of food fam
inc, unless America makes fullest of this summer
which is to come America must keep hen military
starvation. Not only that On a big crop next fall
may depend the happiness and perhaps the lives of
thousands Of our city population
In this state of affairs, THE VERMONT MA
TIONAL BANK feels that it MUST take the liberty
of urging every farmer in its locality to plant the
| maximum acreage he can take care of. AS to which
crops will be most needed and be most likely to bring
large returns he should consult Mr. Sweeton. If he
finds the increased expense for fertilizers etc. large
this Bank will try to do its part But the prospect of
/ prices even higher than those Of this past winter
\ should prove more of an incentive than any tenn
/ porary aid Bank can give.

neither will the divine right of sex
continue to WELD it's influence. The
whole difficulty with our national life
has been that from the beginning we
have had more magnificent ideals
than any other country. She said,
"We have caught great visions, but
we have not dared to live them. We
have said that the government derives
its just powers from the consent of
the governed, yet half the people have
nothing to say about the government.
We have declared that the voice of the
people is the voice of God, and l would
have you know that there is a soprano
in that voice of the people as we'll as
a bass. If we believe that the govern
ment derives it's just power from the

governed govern" The greatest and
