FARMERS BACK LIBERTY LOAN
By Alison Secor,
EDITOR. Successful Farming.


There are about 100000 men now
under arms, training to fight, and
II takes a lot of money to feed, clothe,
transport and equip such force Of
consumers who previously were self
supporting. Jncle Sam cannot at once
reach into the pockets Of those who
stay at home and draw out by tax
alton enough money to pay the bills
of such an army and navy. The only
possible source of ready cash is to
borrow from those who have it.
The farmers have shown their
energy in producing the largest crops
and have endured hardships due to a
shortage Of help, and / believe they
will loan to Uncle Sam every dollar
they can spare, thus giving full sup
port tc the farmers sons who are
ready to make the supreme sacrifice,
that we may not be conquered by
such a foe as Germany.
Just as your few bushels of grain
and pounds of meat will, when put
with the products Of all the farms,
amount Of your money, put with all
the money which may be loaned to
the government for Liberty bonds, will
prevent this great war from ending
in favor of the foe. Liberty bonds
are receipt for the money you lend
Uncle Sam, and they bear Az per cent
interest.

SOMEBODY BLUNDERED:
IT WAS THE PRUSS|ANS
Germany Went Wrong in Estimating
the English, French and
Americans.

Lack of understanding Of other ma
tons, of other peoples, has ever been
the predominant weakness of the
Prussian militarists. Posing as lead
ers in philosophy and psychology they
have nevertheless failed completely
in their analysis of human nature in
any people outside their own bound
airy lines of dominion.
They misunderstood the French.
They blundered in their estimate of
the English. They muddleda their
dealings with the Russians. And the
world at large now knows how far
they missed reading us Alright. They
thought US a nation of money grub
bers, of apologists rather than fight
ers, and even yet they are refusing
to concede their mistake. But they
know better in their own hearts.
Uncle Sans first rude disturbance
of the Prussian serenity was his dec
laration of war. His second shock to
Prussian confidence was the rapid fire
manner in which he began the up
building of his armed forces. Then
came the tremendous over-subscrip-
ton of the first Liberty Loan. an al
together unexpected performance.
And when this was repeated in the
second Liberty Loan drive it was real.
ly appalling.
Now the Prussian interest is cen.
tered upon what the American people
are going to do for the Third Liberty
Loan in the face of recent events at
the front. While the American troops
along the firing line are emphasizing
our spirit and determination with 70
centimeter guns, howitzers, machine
guns, hand grenades, rifles and auto
mates, it is up to us at home to do
our Smelling with dollars.
Ours is by far the easier task. II
has no SAVIOR of danger. On the con
trary it is precaution against the pos
sible menace of the future. 1t is SOW
ing seeds Of security where they will
grow to the benefit of both ourselves
and our country.
It is one of the greatest, the noblest
the most patriotic opportunities ever
offered the American people.

YOUR PATRIOTISM
TOLD IN DOLLARS

The size of Your Bond Purchase,
means Considered, Tells the Tale.
What is it worth to you?
Does American Liberty mean any
thing in your scheme of life? If it
does, Just try to put money value on
It.
But, you say-and you say rightly
its value can not be measured In
dollars and cents. It goes beyond
money. 1t lays upon all the higher
and bigger things in life. It repre-
Bents things that no amount Of money
Fan buy. 1t is
But hold on minute. We know all
that, and still we ask you to put a
money value on American Liberty.
How much does It mean to you?
What would it mean, to put 1t other
wise, II there were danger Of its being
driven from you-and If MONEY,
big sum Of money, were the only
Thing that could prevent. How much
would you give for Liberty, the real
American brand of it, under those cir
cumstances?
There Is a reason for asking these
questions absurd as they may seem.
And that reason lies In the conditions
confronting us all today.
It is humanity possible, since all
things are possible, that the hordes
Of the Huns may overrun Europe and
the whole civilized world. If they do,
Ehe American type of Liberty will
come near to vanishing from the
earth. You will enjoy a much diluted
and sadly modified form of it, at best.
If we are wise, we will acknowledge
the danger and do our utmost to avert
II. That can best be done by those Of
us who can not go to the front by
ioaning the United States Government
all Of our, money that we can. 1t takes
money-unthinkable sums of money
more money than the world has ever
had called for for any purpose hither-
to-to carry on the Big Business of
Defense that is to make the world
safe for Democracy and perpetuate
the American ideal Of Liberty not only
in America but throughout the world.
So get "down to brass tacks,' and
count up the value Of American Lib
erty in MONEY. Then buy your part
of the Third Liberty Loan and buy #
gladly.
You might even help some other fell
low buy part of his.
It's worth the price.

URGED To
BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Must Inconvenience Himself II His
Country Needs Him.

An article recently published In
some papers Of the Central West gave
an erroneous impression as to the part
the farmer should play in financing
the great struggle for liberty and
world freedom. It suggested that the
farmer should not borrow money with
which to buy Liberty Bonds-that he
should not Inconvenience himself" in
lending financial support at this criti-
cal time In the history of the nation
This Is no time to think of incon-
venience at home. If inconvenience
is to be the basis of thought, let the
American farmer consider first the in
convenience of the boys on the firing
line in France. At this particular time
1t is up to all Americans to make sac
rifices. This is no time to think Of
comfortable financial circumstances
and freedom from Inconvenience. The
government is at great deal of in
convenience. II the boys at the blaz-
ing, thunderous front are standing in
muddy trenches lodging shell spIin-
tiers and Hun bullets and facing the
terrible gas attacks, there is no rea-
son why the farmer at home should
not extend himself to help out.
Don't think Of inconvenience. Think
Of the Inconvenience and danger of
your son, or your neighbor's son, at
the front, and buy Liberty Bonds 10
the limit. Stretch your financial sys-
tenn to the breaking point, if need be.
to support your government and the
boys who are actually engaged in the
business Of fighting your fight.
If you haven't the money at hand
to do your full duty toward the great
cause, go out and borrow it from your
bank-borrow SO that you may buy
bonds until 1t hurts" Your financial
support may be a measure of your
practical patriotism-and the nation
needs practical patriots at this critical
period.
Don't think of inconvenience-think
only Of SUCCESS.

SIOUX CITY WINS H0NORS
Iowa City Claims She Was First to
Oversubscribe Liberty Loan
Quota.

Sioux City, Iowa, has not only won
the honor flag for the first large city
completing its Liberty Bond quota, but
has hung up a record that is unprece-
6ented.
The Iowa city, in one hour, pledged
1884, 400 worth of bonds, $12S,400
more than its quota called for. The
pledges were made by 4,051 subscrib-
ers. On the basis of the 1910 census
this showing would mean sales at a
per capita basis of $3.50 for every
person in the city. The sales were
made by force of 900 solicitors. The
city is now out for an extra star for
it's flag.
