THE FARMERS DUTY.

In this time of war there is a
 special duty laid upon every Amer
 ican citizen. Some have to bear
 arms and risk their lives and safety
 on dangerous seas and on the bat
 tie fronts in Europe. Others must
 care for those of them who are
 wounded and in performing that duty risk their lives almost equally with those who do the actual fight ing. There are so many brave Americans performing such duties for their country that those of us who remain at home in safety and security must needs feel the obli- gation on us to do our part.
 The farmers of America have an important duty, vital national economic function imposed upon them. They must provide food for our armies, food for our families at home andfeod for our alice abroad.
 The great and vital importance of
 this service has been recognized and the farmers of the country are directed to be given and will re- eeive special consideratins in the matter of exemption from military service.
 The service that the farmers of America are to perform is in the highest degree patriotic, but it is to ba profitable, too. Never before las the American farmer had such a market for his products or such tremendous purchasers as he has now in the governments of the United States and our allies. And 1 the funds with which these prod l ucts are to be purchased are prac- tlcally all raised by the sale of Lib ertY Loan Bonds.
 The presidents patriotic call to the people of America made July | l l will find ready response from the farmers of our country
 No true patriot will permit him. self to take toll of our soldiers be- folsm in money, or seek to grow rich by the shedding of their blood. He will give as freely and with as unstinted sacrifice as they. They are giving their lives. Will he not at least give his money?"
 But buying a Liberty Loan Bond IS not making gift. It is the safest of investments, and consid- cring also it's rate of interest and nontaxable feature it is a remuner- atife investment of the first order Some pronounce it the premier se- curity of the world.
 The farmers of America are given an easy way to serve their country, show their patriotism, and gfeatly benefit themselves. Mon z IS needed to feed. equip, arm and clothe our soldiers at the front. And money is needed, too, to buy the products of Americas farms tof our army and navy and the armies and navies of our allies. A great proportion of this money has been raised and is to be raised by -he sale of Liberty Loan Bonds. he farmer in supporting the Lib =rty Loan serves his country, his people and himself, and he serves, 70, the cause of liberty, the cause 't humanity and civilization.

COMMUNITY TO
BUY GOOD BULL
This, Saws Livestock Specialist,
is Best Way to Get Better
Cattle in Most Places
ALL PEOPLE ACT TOGETHER
Cooperation In This Kind OF Work Is
the Only Way to Get Results, and
Results This Way Come Win the
Least Expense.

Everybody is talking better live
stock. but after all the talking is over
II is not much clearer to the average
farmer how he is to get any better
livestock than it was before. lie Is
convinced that he needs better i've
stock, but a first-class bull costs
too much for him. 1t is not econom-
iual for a single farmer in a commu-
nifty to buy a high priced bull to use
in the improvement of his own herd OF
perhaps half a dozen animals, and
when such person becomes in
spired with sufficient ambition to
make a purchase, his efforts. are sell
dom backed up by enthusiasm and ap-
probation from his neighbors. The
valuable animal after very meager
service extending over a space OF
about three years, is sent away to be
slaughtered, even before his true
value is known.
The only economical solution Of this
difficulty is to be found in the pur-
chase of a community bull in which
the entire farming community will be
interested and to which all of the
breeding animals of the community
will have access. A first-class bull Is
so secured at small cost to any indi.
vidual and the plan gives the bull a
much greater field of usefulness. The
average pure-bred bull owned by an
individual in community -js> rarely
well enough patronized to justify his
maintenance, mainly because there is
not the community interest back OF
him., On the other hand, the bull in
which the whole community is inter
ested is given an opportunity to I'M
prove Immediately the type of cattle
owned, granting that he is the individ-
ual he ought to be. The first crop of
calves following his appearance In the
community will carry fifty per cent
of his blood. l recall Tennessee
community into which Poll Durham
bull was introduced few years ago.
The first year he was not stro-,,ly ia
vored, but just as soon as his first
crop of calves began showing their
superiority, he became very popular
and since that time has not lacked APP
probation. Today the entire beef cat
tie population of the community re-
fleets his influence.
The buying of one thoro, first
class bull of the breed that the com
munity likes best, will mean more for
the immediate improvement Of the
cattle of the community at less ex.
pense and will stimulate . greater in
terest in better livestock than any
other one thing.-R. M. Murphy, Divi.

OF COURSE, SUCH A MAN
Is A BUSINESS MAN

Suppose a farmer has a neat office
in one room of his home where he has
a desk in which he keeps his business
books and papers.
Suppose he has q book or ledger in
which he keeps careful account
with his stock and crops and tables
to show what he owes, what is coming
to him, and what he spends and makes
each year.
Suppose he uses his newspapers and
telephone to find out market prices OF
farm products and has something to
sell almost every week.
Suppose he goes to his office on
Saturday afternoon, finds in his note.

WISE USE OF MONEY

The Federal Farm Loan Set is being
beneficial to Tennessee farmers in that
it is encouraging them, and providing
the means as well, to use more capital.
The fact that they have to combine in
order to get it, and that they have to
present definite plan of action to
those from whom they secure the
funds, and the further fact that their
investments and the wisdom of the
undertaking will be censored or at
least discussed by a number of farm
10 bring careful investments for pro.
ductive purposes.

We Need More Factories

What use have you for factories
To make your clothes and tools,
AS loug as you work for landlords
With a mortgage on your mules.
These masters will furnish you the
tools,
And labor for your kid
To keep their homes in modern style
just like the chattles old.
All they want your vote and labor.
They'll rent you little patch
II you'll furnish their dogs diamond
collar,
And feed little Tom and Jack.
You'll have no use for modern tools
Until you learn to use your brain'
For as long as you vote for this sys-
tenn,
They'll rob you just the same.
They will rent you little howell,
And sell you modern plows,
And if God RETAINS to send you rain,
They'll take your horse and COWS.
Don't worry about the little shack
Or dread the winter chill,
just dress their wives in silk and furs,
And pay their doctor bill,
II you decide that this is wrong
just give your wife a vote,
She'll lift the yoke Of bondage
And take you out of soak.
When you lay aside the yoke
And the masters cease to take,
When you ask her then to help you.
She will not hesitate.
But if she should vote as you do
To pay the landlords rent,
Just give her n hoe and tell her to go
And work for twenty per cent.
She may do this for while,
But She Tread and learn some sense,
And ask her God if He made the earth
For Lords and twenty per cent,
But, if you still contend
She has no right to vote,
She ought to take her shoe heel
And love you till you croGk.
And then if you objected,
You ought to feel ashamed
When she takes spyglass
To see your measley btain.
However, if she finds them
About like chiggers' eye,
No doubt but God will pardon
In the sweet bye and bye.
If hurt your religion
1 beg to be excused,
For l wouldn't do this
For the little SeQuachee News,
But if you don't be quiet
While l amputate your brain,
I will lay my spyglass up
And prom ounce your case insase.
