THE War Department has figured that it costs just a few dollars less than $100 to put a soldier in the field ready to fight. If you are not going yourself and are not sending someone, don't you think it is your duty to at least take $100 Liberty Bond to enable Uncle Sam to send someone in your stead.
The Brinkley argus., 1917-06-08

IF you havn't a Liberty Bond spoken for, you'd better go to one of the county banks and see that vour name is enrolled quick.

It is true that in the first call for men, the ages are confined to 2l to 30 inclusive. But we may find it necessary to put sthree million men or more in the field. Don't you know that in our Civil War, men of sixty and boys of sixteen fought shoulder to shoulder before the war was done? Don't you know that Sixty and Sixteen are fighting shoulder to shoulder today, some where in France?
The Brinkley argus., 1917-06-08
Be very certain of one thing, this war will touch your home in some way, either through son, father, brother or someone very dear to you, before the war is done.

Is your husband past fifty? How long could he stand sleeping in the mud of a first line renCh--standine ankle deep in the water of it.. through a week of rain?

MAKES MONEY ON sOYBEANs
MOLINO MANS EXPERIENCE.

If farmer does not see fit to spe-
cialize in any particular branch of
agricultural production he may at
least specialize on some particular
crop. And thereby realize good
profit on his efforts. Grant NORTH
land of Molino, Mo-, has made a
speciality of soybean production. He
was short course student at the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture in 1914 and by the result
of his work became interested in
soybeans. He obtained some Morse
seed from the College in that year.
He also obtained some other vari-
cites from the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. He has i'm
proved his varieties by individual
plant selections and has made a rep
utation,as a producer of good soy
bean seed. He sells his product each
year at a price considerably above
the market price.
