THE FARMER AND THE LIBERTY BOND.
BY b. w. SNOW.
Manager of SHOWS Crop News Agency.

No class Of Americans are more vital
Iy interested in the curbing of Germany's
ambition for world domination than the
farmers. The Pan-German purpose is
Industrial as well as political control
of the world. and that means. if success
full that American industries will be
smothered and America become simply
a producer Of raw material for the sup
port Of a German worldwide industrial
supremacy The decay of our manufac-
turing center means the destruction Of
the home market for farm products and
the dependence of our farmers upon
German workmen as consumers of what
we grow.
American farmers are doing great
work in helping win the war by their in
creased production Of food. but this. big
as ii is, is not enough. They are over
looking an equally great opportunity for
real service and one that at the same
time means personal profit to them The
farmer understands what hard work is,
but he is not experienced in making his
money work for him as hard as he
works himself
Country banks are full Of farmers
money. merely lying there on deposit and
actually working for the banker who
holds it instead of for the farmer who
owns it. The issuance of a new Liberty
Loan IS an opportunity for the farmer TO
put his money where it is safer even
than when it is lying in a bank and
where he himself gets all that it earns.
If he is compelled to sell the bond he
can do that as easily and as promptly
as ne could write a check; or if he only
wants part of the investment money for
a short time he can borrow at any time
from any bank using 1t as collateral
and drawing interest on 1t at the same
time that he is paying interest for his
short loan.
The new loan VIII be in bonds of small

enough size so that the wife and chill
dren can invest their small savings and
have them earning as much as a veal
thy neighbor is getting for his large
sums. There is no better way Of teach
ing thrift and business to young people
on the farm than by having them buy e.
Liberty Bond out of their savings.
In short. all farmers should subscribe
to the Liberty Loan not only as a pat
riotic duty to help keep America free.
but as a business proposition TO keep
their money working where they will get
all that II earns and at the same time
be absolutely safe.

British Report Fighting.

LONDON, September 1l-There was
local lighting between British and Ger
man forces last night in the neishbor-
hood of NiIleret, on the Somme front,
the British war department announced
TO-DAY. The statement reads:
we captured a few prisoners last
night in the course of local fighting in
the neighborhood of Villeret, southeast
of Hargicourt.
The hostile artillery activity con-
tinued to the east of Ypres during the
early parc of the night"
The official report from British head
quarters in France last night said:
''On Sunday a thick mist greatly ham
pered aerial operations. Artillery CO.
operation was carried out when possi-
BILE and a few bombs were dropped by
day and night on hostile airdromes.
Three enemy machines were brought
down and four We're driven down out of
control Five of our machines are miss
ing.
1T is impossible to include in the
daily communiQues the almost number
less incidents that are occurring daily
and nightly along the front. often en-
failing hard fighting by small parties
and demanding high qualities of cour-
age and endurance on the part of the
troops concerned. A short summary Is
given showing the general nature OF
the work constantly being done.
Our patrols are continually working
both on the battle front and also upon
what are generally regarded as quiet
parts of the line. Small parties go
out day and night to investigate the
enemy's wire, to ascertain the condi-
ton of his trenches, the strength of
his garrison or the position of the
German machine gun emplacements
and strong points. Much valuable in
formation is obtained and encounters
with the enemy's patrols and working
parties are frequent. Often considera-
BILE casualties are inflicted and pris-
oners secured. A few instances will
serve as examples.
