And buy Liberty Bonds. You
can buy them on the partial-pay-
ment plan-and you can save
enough every week OUT OF THE
WASTE to pay for them. The
nation needs your aid You must
do your share if you would have
the full protection of the nation
for yourself.
And you must buy bonds be-
cause, if you DON'T, you may
very possibly not be able to buy
FOOD. If Russia should make
peace with Germany, million
and half German prisoners there
would be released, and these, with
the German armies now employed
against Russia, would be hurled
at France and England. If the
British fleet should be overcome,
we would have a food blockade on
our coasts.
If the $2,OO0,O0O,0OO Liberty
Loan is not taken by the people,
it MUST be taken by the banks.
And if it is taken by the banks
how CAN they use that money to
make the loans to merchants, man
ufacturers and farmers. which
keep business going?
What happened to you in the
panic of 1907 when business shut
DOWN. Did you lose your job?
Did you have your salary cut9
Did you have a fine, thriving bus
iness. and 60 bankrupt9
The entire intent of the Treas
ury Department is that YOU shall
buy these bonds. That is why
they are issued in units of $50,
500 and $500, That is why en-
ployers have arranged so that you
can buy your share by paying 81
per week.
And at least TWELVE MIL
LION men just like you MUST
buy. You must have food you
must stop waste SO that there will
be food enough to go around.
You must have money to BUY
food, and there must be MONEY
enough to go around. And you
must buy just as many of these
Liberty Loan Bonds as vou can
stagger under to keep business
good, to help the twelve million
men all over the nation who must
help too.
The Golden Rule AT Work
Be very sure of one thing. As
you feel about it, so will they feel.
AS you act, SO will they act. And
you must Go your part to help
them to help. US all, if you want
these twelve million men to do
their part and help you; help you
protect those you love.
And if you twelve million men
DO buy these bonds, if you DO
aid your government in it's hour
of need-what then9
Business is good to-day. A
great prosperity is with US. ON

PRESIDENT HAS COURAGE.

Lack OF moral courage an certain
ly not be imputed to President Will
son. If any unpopular action must be
undertaken in the national interest,
everybody else lodges it, while the
President puts it through without
hinching.
II was the President who was
forced to assume responsibility for
our entry into the war, for conscrip-
ton for the unprecedented policy of
immense loans to foreign nations 1t
was the President who alone dared
to place a qujetus upon the plan OF
rushing a volunteer division to France
under a popular hero and who de-
termined upon sending overseas the
hover OF our regular army. When the
vital matter OF food control falls
afoul OF conflicting and widely rep
resented interests, the President
comes promptly to the rescue.
Certainly a majority in both Sen
ate and House recognized that the
present was no proper occasion to
interpolate sweeping domestic re-
form like national prohibition into a
war measure, But many of those
who recognized this shrank from in
curing the odium OF those of their
constituents who place prohibition
above every other issue and who are
sufficiently numerous in most con.
stituencies to turn the election. Pres
ident Wilson did not shrink from
such odium. Probably he would per-
sonally prefer bone-dry nation, but
not at the expense of national har-
mony in the existing crisis.--tNew Re-

According to the West Virginia De-

census of the peach crop for 1917

United States. The apple crop, es-
pecially in the Eastern panhandle,

while other crops are fair.

Must Control the Air.

Next year will see the allies and
Germany in struggle for the SUI
premacy of the air." said Capt. de
la Grange. Germany must be kept
from flying, and this will be the be-
ginning of the superiority on the
ground for the allies, If America
can throw hundreds of machines into
the service to aid the allies then
we can carry on warfare which, will
be disastrous to the enemy.
ITO have superiority on the
ground, you must have superiority in
the air. Without control of the air
you cannot concentrate troops or bat
teries nor prepare for attacks with
out the knowledge of the enemy.
Next year We shall have to at
tack at several places at one time
along great battle front To do this
we must have superiority in the air
Germany will, of course, try to
keep up to America, but in my opin-
ion she can never equal the Ameri-
can nation in the production of eth
er men or machines.
You are coming into the war
fresh. Germany is worn and tired. Ev-
cry factory and resource in Germany
is now used in war work. If she
strives to build great air feet, then
some other military object must be-
weakened, some strength must be-
taken from her battle lines and the
advantage is for the allies.

'As you know, we are all nerve

are fresh and vigorous in your first

Germany has no such men to
