FARMERS! THIS is
YOUR WAR. BUY
LIBERTY BONDS
Success of Teutonic Arms Spells
Despoliation for Ameri-
can Producers

Let us think for a while how the
war concerns the farmer.
we went to war with Germany
partly because the rulers of that
country refused to let us send to
Europe our ships laden with grain
and cotton. They sunk the ships and
cruelty murdered our sailors. Now
suppose we allowed them to stop all
our shipping, where would you be?
None of your goods would be sold
IN foreign countries, with the result
that you would get nothing like the
prices which you get today. This war
is being waged partly that you may
OBTAIN fair prices for your goods.
What is going to happen if we
lose This war? Prices of farm pro
duce VIII drop; the Germans will
impose taxation upon you which will.
cripple you for the next twenty years
worse than that, if the Germans get
over here, they will treat YOU in lust
the same way as they have the farm
ers OF France, Belgium and Italy. In
fhese sections farm houses have been
shot TO pieces, crops wasted and
burned; even fruit trees chopped
down, the cattle stolen, the men sent
into slavery to work for German
masters, their women iIl-treated in
ways that cannot be talked of in
print, their little children have had
thelr hands chopped off in order that
they may never fight or do any more
useful work again.
You may say such things will not
happen here" They said this in
france, IN Belgium and in Italy. Such
things will happen here just as sure
as you are alive, unless we smash
the Germans so utterly that thew are
Unable to reach this country. The
ferman teet and the German army
VIII take just one week to get here
II we are beaten. They have made
Up their minds that America shall
pay.
Is there farmer who will stand
forward now and say, "This war does
not concern me?"
You have money that you do not
need at present. Loan it to the Gov
9rnment at good interest: when Won
want the money back again, you can
borrow on your bond, or sell it. Uncle
Sam will take care of your money
until you need it and pay you interest
ON it.

Yourself with the idea that you are

Third Liberty Loan

pie place at the hands OF the Govern
ment, proportionate to what thev nos.

the voice of the people but as we'll
The united will and force of the peo-
Ole against war which threatens to
angulf the whole national family.
We are being just to ourselves If
we place our money where it is safe
And we are living up to the dictates
Of our national conscience, which also
is our family conscience.
The most safe and reasonable in.
Vestment possible is with our Govern.
ment. For the Government is but
ourselves viewed through the magni
tying glass.
If we were born in the United
States we love our birthplace. 1t is
home. If we were allowed to adopt
he United States that offered to us
more than our expressing birth-coun-
Try: offered to us more freedom. a
wider scope, then through that adop-
ton we have gained a Privilege
worthy of even greater devotion and

So, let us all be glad that a Third

Woman's s Committee for
Twelfth Federal Reserve
District to Form an
Organization
BY MRS. A. S. BALDWIN
Chairman Woman's Liberty Loan
Committee, Twelfth Federal
Reserve DISTRICT

Now that we are actively in the war
and our men are in the front line
trenches; are being killed; are being
gassed; are being MANNED for life, it
would seem that every woman in the
land should be in the front ranks Of
the civilian workers to help the men
win the war.
Each Of us has her part to play,
however small it may be, and whether
1t be great or small it is of Importance
that each shall perform her part to
the utmost of her ability.
Some can buy Liberty Bonds, some
can influence others to buy. Perhaps
some can only help by conserving the
use of food and clothing and by econ
omizing in household expenditures,
thus liberating and augmentiEg the
essentials which must be sent "over
there" for the use of our army and
for the destitute civilian population of
our allies
In whatever way each woman of
this Twelfth Federal Reserve District
can help, let her do her utmost that
we who are farthest from the front
may sustain our part of the struggle,
and keep for ourselves and our chill
dren the blessings and privileges we
have Inherited, and thus make it pos
sible TO win like blessings for the mil
lions who are now In actual bondage.
We should not only save to help,
but the great lesson to be learned also
is to do now without non-essentials and
to make sacrifices SO that the labor
which produces what we consider to
be even essentials may be used to
produce those things which are actu-
ally essential for the support and
safety OF those who are carrying the
burden OF this unprecedented struggle
for freedom and democracy.
The aim of the Woman's Liberty
Loan Committee is to form an organi-
zstton which. shall make the woman
Ia every home In the land realize
these conditions and her RESPONSE
biltty, that the message shall not
reach her only from one direction. but
from many, 20 that she shall be
brought to full realization of her
responsibility.

A BADGE OF HONOR

A Liberty Loan button is a badge
OF honor. Rightfully obtained it marks
the wearer as one who has performed
distinct. definite service to the
country.
Not all can fight. not all can work
directly for the Government: but in
buying Abcrty Loan Bond, or War
Savings Stamps. every American rem.
dsrs some service to the nation. It
has been put within the reach and
power Of every citizen to aid the
United States financially; it is a poor
American who withholds support from
the Government, from our soldiers and
sailors fronting death on battlefields
and oceans.
Iron crosses to German soldiers.
and diamond orders exchanged be-
tween Turkish and German sovereigns
may be but the honors of atrocity.
But q Liberty Loan button simple as
It is, signifies a patriotic duty done
and is an insignia of honor.
