But these details he absorbed rather
than studied, in the first few moments
subsequent to his awakening. HIS
chiefest and most direct interest CEN

warm color in the cheeks that he had
last seen livid, there was the wonted
play of light and shadow in her fas-
cinating eyes; there were gracious
rounded curves where had been sunken
surfaces, followed out by fatigue and
strain; and there remained the In
eluctable allurement of her tremendous
vitality.
"You are not hurt?" he demanded.
"You are-all right?"
"Quite," she told him with smile
significant Of her appreciation of his
generous feeling. "But you? Haven't

"I-? Oh, that was only what any

"None other did,"
"Please don't speak of tt mean,

FARMER TO HELP MAINTAIN
FREEDOM He HELPED WIN

In the first Liberty Loan Cam
paign, many of the farmers OF the
country were not reached, and sub
bcriptions from the rural committees
were few.
There were several reasons for this,
the foremost of which was that the
Joan was put out in the spring, when
they we're busy with their crops and
It was difficult for the canvassers to
interview them.
Then, too, they had to borrow mon
ey for their planting. Now their crops
in. and at the present high price Of
food stuffs they should have a large
sum of money in their hands.
For a loan of a portion Of that
money, the Liberty Bond campaigners
are now appealing all over the coun-
try. The various farm bureaus and
societies are cooperating and good re-
suits are expected.
When liberty came to America the
farmer helped to bring it. He carried
the gun; he contributed unsparingly
OF his substance; he fed the armies.
In the present struggle for universal
liberty It is certain he will do no less.
He has already made splendid re-
Spouse to the demand for greater food
production. The FIRST loan largely
overlooked the farmer - the efforts
were concentrated in the cities.
The second campaign should give
every opportunity for farmers as in
dividuals and their organizations to
support the government in its financial
program. 1t Is the highest expression
Of Americanism that all the people
should help carry the common load
in this critical hour.

ARKANSAS TENANT FARMERS
TO BUY LIBERTY LOAN BONDS

Tenant farmers OF Arkansas, who
in previous years have found II diff
ficult to make both ends meet, are
this year going to be liberal buyers of
Liberty Bonds" said Fl. A. Morrison,
cashier OF the Bank of Commerce,
Earl, Crittenden County, Arkansas.
A ten-million dollar cotton crop In
his county alone explains why this Is
to come about. Mr.. Morrison said that
his fellow citizens were showing such
enthusiasm in the new bond Issue that
he came TO st. Louis to arrange to
supply them with honda
Heretofore" said Mr.. Morrison, "the
proceeds OF the annual harvest was
not sufficient to maintain the farmers
until the next crop could be harvest
ed. and it was the custom in April to
begin buying food and other necessi-
ties on credit The result was that in
the fall II usually took about all the
farmer got for his crop to pay his
debts and get through the winter.
This year n Is different. The
planters are going to get from 80 to
45 cents pound for cotton, whereas
before they only got from to 10.
cents"
"One fine thing about these bonds
Is that the farmer can use them az
legal tender. In case they need money
they will find their war bond invest
ment readily negotiable"
