A Little Thing.
ct Is such a little thing that the
government is asking of us-the mere
purchase OF its bonds The govern
ment isn't asking you to give up
anything. It isn't asking you for a
gift All we ask is that you purchase
these bonds. as good as the money
with which you buy them. In fact,
better, because they draw interest.
IF the bonds are not good, then
we might as well give up and quit.
This whole country is back of the
bonds, and they are the best invest
ment in the world today"

Director of Food Production Wants 2000 American Tractors for This
 Work, He Says

London. February 27-"we want 2OoO American tractor ploughs for the use of a civilian army of night ploughers, which we are about to enlist throughout the British Isles" said Sir Arthur Lee, di- rector general of food production, to the Associated Press today. This new de- partment, which is the outgrowth of Ger many s submarine campaign, aims at the enlistment of several hundred thousand civilians to cultivate every available bit of soil
 "we hope to make the tractor ploughs fill the gaps caused by the shortage in labor" continued Sir Arthur. For this reason we are going to import 2000, or as many as we can, from America. We are going to equip them with headlights for night ploughing.
 Behind every plough will be skilled farmer They will be assisted by prison ers conscientious objectors, members of the home defense forces and women. In this way we hope to produce enough food to make us independent of outside help as long as the war lasts For this we thank the German submarines They all ready have given England an agrieul- tural policy which is destined to make us to a large extent self supporting. The subma rine also has revived rural life, given the farmers minimum wage and generally made our national defense more effective than thousand speeches in Parliament"
