The Farmers and
the Liberty Loan.

One aspect OF the $5,000.0O0,00O
loan, the Liberty Loan Of 1917,
that the farmers OF America NAV
well consider is that @ very great
portion of the money raised by the
issue will come directly into tho
pockets Of the farmers OF the Ma
ton.
All OF the money advanced to
our allies will be expended in the
United States and as they are
making all their own munitions
practically all of the money adj
vaced them will be spent for pro-
ducts Of the farms--for cotton for
clothing and high explosives, wool
for clothing and leather for shoes;
but by far the greater part of the
money loaned OR allies will be
expended here for food products.
In a few months the United
States will have under arms 1,2OO,-
900 men and 100000 reserves in
training; so including The navy
therewiIl be2,000,000 men that our
government will feed and clothe.
This will make the United States
government by far the largest
single customer the farmers OF
America have.
The secretary of the treasury is
employing such methods in hand
ing the loan that no community
will be denuded of money by rea-
son of Liberty Loan Bond pur-
cuhase, The money will be left
In local banks and as the govern
ment purchases food and supplies
the money is raised by the bond
issue will pass back into the pock-
cts of the people.
The farmers of the country
should snbscribe to the Liberty
Loan Bonds. They get the safest
investment in the world and their
money supplies their best customer
The funds 10 purchase their pro-
1ucts. This is political economy

Potatoes resemble corn i'm cOmpO-

SWEET potatoes. Both corn and po-

in carbohydrates, thus they make fat
rather than bone and muscle. The
potatoes should be boiled or steamed
