LAST LAP OF LIBERTY LOAN.

Two billions of dollars is not exceeding much
for this rich country; its surplus wealth is able to
swallow II billions in a government loan. But
the Liberty loan campaign, has been slow and ar
duous. The people with money in the banks have
not responded with the expected ardor.
What's the answer? WHY hasn't the loan
oversubscribed in less than a week.
We think the answer to this question should
be ascertained. When the richest nation on earth
hesitates to buy bonds well within its power, there
is something worth knowing in back Of such an un-
accountable attitude.

WHAT WHEN ALL MYSTERIES
ARE REVEALED

Every advance in human progress
has come through the discovery of
some great law.
Sir Isaac Newton added a wealth
Of knowledge to the world when he
discovered one of the great laws gov
erning the universe and Calico in
creased our vision of the heavenly
bodies by his discoveries.
Sir William Harvey's discovery of
the circulation of the blood gave
great impetus to the science and prac-
tice of medicine.
DR.. Jenner's discovery of the virtue
of vaccination for the prevention of
smallpox made it possible to make
a conquest of that dreaded disease.
The later discovery that the mosqui-
distributors of yellow fever, typhoid
and cholera germs caused those dis
eases no longer to claim their toll
of death and frightful panics no long
er follow in their wake.
Watts discovery of steam changed
the whole aspect of the world so far
as it relates to traffic and travel on
land and sea.
Franklin's discovery of the POSSIBLE
ity of Harvesting the lightning has
produced changes almost as great as
Watts discovery of the latent possi-
bilities of steam.
Edison, Marconi, Bell and the Mayo
brothers, and Burbank have added
their quota to the worlds progress.
But in unraveling the marvels of
nature we are told that we are yet
just at the Threshold.
What must the world become when
the last discovery is made and nature
has yielded up all her secrets?

FOOD PRODUCTION VS.. FOOD
CONSERVATION

Conservation is all right. 1t is a
splendid movement and has our heart
lest cooperation, but unless we pro-
duce we cannot conserve. Farmers
are complaining that the government
is offering such large wages for un-
skilled labor that it is dspopulating
the farms of laborers, and If it goes
on for any length of time-if some
thing is not done to counterfeit it
the crop shortage will be tremendous.
Some of our fields are still white
with cotton and there are very few left
to gather it at any price.
Our farmers are all upset and do not
know what calculations to make for
the planting and harvesting of next
years crop.
Mr.. ]. ID. Robertson of this city
says that he had made arrangements
for planting sixty-five acres in cab.
bage but since the recent high prices
offered by the government for un-
skilled labor, he has been compelled
to cut this down to fifteen acres.
Other truckers have been COMPEL
ed to do the same thing.
We must provide for a larger crop
acreage than ever before if we expect
to feed our armies in the field and
help feed the armies of our allies We
must also provide for the feeding of
our people at home and the feeding
of the home people of our allies.
We can not do this if labor is Sc
duced away from the farms.
The co nseryat ion movement
amounts to nothing unless we can
produce something to conserve.
1t is a problem. We may have the
richest country in the world, but
things do not grow of their own ac-
cord. 1t requires human labor to
grow crops and unless this is done
our cause is lost Our armies in the
Held and our people at home must be
fed and it is impossible for the farm
er to compete with the government in
prices and unless something is done
the goose that lays the golden egg"
will be sacrificed.
Our gold and silver and our liberty
bonds, our splendidIy equipped army,
our finely equipped railroads will be
OF no avail unless our farms yield
crops.
Production just now is the para
mount issue.

Poor Germany! Six millions of her
brave sons have already been sacri-
feed to appease the ambition of her
ruler. The German people have been
noted for their love of home and lit
tie children. She has produced some
of the sweetest poets and greatest
scientists. Now she must go down in
history as being responsible for the
worst horrors known in any warfare.
Sweet and lovable in many respects,
the blind obedience of the German
people to an ambitious and despicable
ruler. will cause the nations of the
earth to brand them as Cain was
branded, and become a vagabond
