Bankers and Brokers
Show Fine Patriotism

When your banker or your broker
encourages you to buy United States
Liberty Bonds, don't make the mis-
take of thinking t-oc he has any self
ish motives The fact is that he does
not make any commission whatever
by selling these war bonds. On the
contrary, all the work that banker
or broker undertakes in connection
with United States Liberty Bonds is
at his own expense.
Seldom has any class of business
men shown finer patriotism than that
exhibited in recent weeks by the bank
ers and brokers. The federal govern
ment is under great obligations to
them for the high spirit of public duty
they have shown, for the enthusiasm
they have manifested in familiarizing
the public with United States Liberty
Bonds and in encouraging people to
buy.
If you have not yet ordered your
United States Liberty Bonds, see your
banker or your broker today. And re-
member that in handling your order
he is working unselfishly for Ameri-
can honor and for the permanence OF
liberty on earth.

Make The Almighty Dollar
Always Work For Liberty

Germany, Europe, the world, is
watching the United States right now
more than ever before-awaiting
news on the sale of Liberty bonds. I'm
less this bond issue is greatly over
subscribed by American men and
women before June is, Germany will
sneer at all our high-sounding words
about freedom, justice and the rights
of mankind. In her eyes the almighty
dollar will be our idol, and all our
patriotism will be branded as hollow
talk.
For nearly three years our news
papers, statesmen, preachers and edu-
Gators have constantly declared that
America has high ideals, that we
stand for liberty, that we love man
kind, that we hate tyranny, that we
are slow to wrath, but mighty when
aroused. Well, the time has come to
prove whether these fine sayings are
true.
Our government now puts us to the
test. We are in the war. War takes
money, and the government proposes
to raise money by selling Liberty
bonds to the American people. The
question is, now up to you. You can
buy on bond for $50, or as many more
as you desire. Liberty bonds are a
perfectly safe investment.
The hour for American manhood and
womanhood to act has come. 1t is
here now. Subscribe at once for your
Liberty bonds.

ton will not write anew the Constitu-
ton. 1t will merely recommend amend
ments to the present Constitution.

mended must then be submitted to
the people for adoption, and each

rately. Therefore, the choice rests
finally with the voters of the State II

The Convention, after completing its
work, will fix the date of the election
on the amendments. Each amendment
suggested for adoption will be printed
on the ballot separately and plainly so
that the voter can understand it. The
voter reads the first amendment. II
lie favors it, he votes yes" opposite;
If not he writes mo" AND so on as
to every amendment on the ballot. A
majority of all votes cast on any
amendment is necessary to its adop-
ton. And one amendment may be
adopted or rejected without reference
to the others.
To vote in the first election, the

presented to the election officers, and

If you stand for progress in Tennes-
see and wish to see the Old Volunteer
State keep apace with its sister states,
then vote and work for the Convention.

Times change. In the Revolution
airy war it was the "embattled farm
ers' who fired the shot heard round
the world.
Today the American farmer is again
doing something that will be heard
round the world, but in different
way
The world is waiting on the Amer
lean farmer for its food. It's hope is in
him. 1t wishes him good weather and
abundant crops, and it will pay him
we'll.
The farmer will help win battles
that he will never see For our boys
at the front will be well fed and cour-
ageous, thanks to his industry and
patriotism.
Nor is the farmers part in this world
warm this greatest catastrophe his
tory has ever had to record-limited to
producing food He has his part to
play before crops are ready for har-
vest. For right now, the nation needs
the farmers support in a different
way. 1t needs his cooperation on Lib
erty bonds.
These bonds are issued to equip our
soldier boys with everything they will
need for their safety, comfort and
fighting strength. The government will
pay every bond buyer 31a per cent in
terest, free from all taxes, and will re-
turn to him the entire principal. Lib
erty bonds are safe, sure, profitable
investment.
1t is the hope of President Wilson
that not a single farmer in the coun-
try will be seen without Liberty
bond button in his buttonhole.

Is Your Boy In the War?

Perhaps your boy, your brother,
your sweetheart, some one you hold
dear to your heart, will be called into
the war zone to risk his life for free
dom, for liberty, for America. War
is no picnic, no holiday romp; it is
terribly serious business. Victories are
almost never won by unfed, naked, dis
heartened troops. Is it your wish that

safeguards to reduce their danger to
the minimum, to strengthen their spir-
its, to encourage them to victory
Then remember that you can help. To
maintain and safeguard your boy at
the front takes money. Our govern
ment needs that money now. To raise
it quickly, to make victory sure, to
shorten the war, to save your boy and
your neighbours boy, the government
asks you to buy one or more Liberty
bonds. These bonds can be bought for
$50, 500, $500, $1,000. They pay in
terest, they are free from taxes, and
you will get back the entire principal.
Don't just sit around and wish for vic
tory, peace and the safe return of the
one you love. Buy as many Liberty
bonds as you can and help to make
your wishes come true.

BEES NEED PROTECTION
ON TENNESSEE FARMS
Government Has Found That Hives
Well Insulated Give Best Results
In Every Case.

(By C. e. Bartholomew, Division OF
Extension, University of Tennes.
see, Knoxville.)
Tennessee in 1909 was third in the
number of colonies of bees among all
of the states in the union. She does
not hold that record now. Her col,
onies have been destroyed, partly by
that dreaded disease, foul brood, and
partly because the colonies have not
been protected from the Tennessee
winters.
On this subject of insulation, the
chief of the bureau of entomology OF
the United States Department OF Ag.
riculture has said some things that are
worth the attention of every Tennes-
see farmer
Beekeepers have repeatedly claimed
that excessive insulation is even more
detrimental in winter than insufficient
insulation, because of the failure OF
the colony to warm up on bright days
To test this theory, a colony was pack.
ed, in the fall of 1915, with f6 inches
of sawdust on all sides, top, and bot.
tom. Temperature records were made
at frequent intervals every day
throughout the winter and spring. The
colony remained in excellent condition
in every. respect throughout the win.
ter. being little affected by high winds,
and after brood rearing began 1t built
up with great rapidly. Then, 20 cen
tinue observation on the effect OF in
sulation On the building up of the col
ony, the packing was allowed to re
main all summer. Except for the I'm
possibility of manipulating the colony
It remained in excellent condition. II
seems clear, therefore, that beekeeperi
need not fear any detrimental results
from abundant insulation.
