where your treasure is,-there VIII
your heart be also"
The truth of that statement, made
80 many years ago, has been brought
home anew as never before.
What mother does not know the
force of it? And at the price Of what
infinite pain and suffering, as well -
of pleasure and joy, has she realized
the rest, there will your heart b
also"
The hearts of American mothers
countless thousands of them-are over
seas. In the trenches along the Aisne,
on the battlefelds of Flanders and
Picardy, the treasure Of hundreds OF
thousands of American mothers IL
daily being offered up. And to those
spots, made sacred by the treasure, 20
the hearts Of q loyal land.

"MY HEARTS
OVER THERE NOW"

You see, l am getting the sewing
to do, SO I can pay for my bonds. For
my boy is fighting over there, and
can't have him need things | can help
to buy for him and all those other
mothers boys.
You see, my hearts over there
now"
And her treasure, meagre to the
vanishing point almost, is following
it Loyalty and bravely.
Western mothers, can you do less!
Your hearts are overseas, and your
treasures must follow. The Govern
ment, through it's Fourth Liberty Loan,
offers you a special opportunity to
send your treasure following in most
effective fashion.
Every Liberty Bond we buy means
so much of the war paid for and put
out of the way. Every dollar we offer
to the Government, to put into it's war
fund, bespeaks an earlier return for
our treasure and a brighter day for our
land
Who lends generously and willingly
in this fight, gives manifold, for she
gives when the need Is sorest, and the
promised return is great.

BIG ARMY NEEDS
GREAT CROPS

For winter wheat alone, it is pro-
posed to increase the area by 49,
100000 acres. These figures provide
for minimum of $4,000 acres of
winter wheat in. California, 590,000 in
Oregon, 1000 in Washington, 377,-
900 in Idaho, 256,OO0 in Utah, $4,000
in Arizona, and 5000 in Nevada. This
is an increase of eighty per cent
over 1917 acreages for Washington,
but very much smaller increases for
the other states Of the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve district.
In presenting these figures, the De-
partment of Agriculture points out
that it is absolutely necessary that
a tremendous wheat crop be brought
in next year to renew somewhat the
reserve supplies, accumulated from
the record crops of 1912-1915, and de-
pleted through the dependence of all
the allies on us.
There is no doubt in anybody 8 mind
that the American farmer will re-
spOnd instantly and effectively to any
situation presented to him, as this
one by the government.
There is no doubt that the native
wit and courage of the American
farmer will rout natural and criminal
oatemies to his Victory crop success

After his death his treasure box was

In the presence of its treasure.
To American mothers no more des-
picable man could be pictured. For his
treasure, stored In the dark places OF
his possessions, might have saved
many days Of strife and sorrow. And
his heart was dead to all that the best

YANKEE WHEAT
FEEDS ALL ALLIES

On top of this the farmer set the
pace for the rest Of America with his
subscriptions to war funds. 1t was
the agricultural districts that first re-
ported their quotas oversubscribed
in the Third Liberty Loan.
Doubtless it will be the farmers
who first report over The Top" in
the Fourth Liberty Loan, in spite Of
the fact that the loan will be twice
the size Of any previous.
This sounds easy, from superficial
consideration, since the Third Loan
came at a time when the farmer
needed his money to put in and har
vest his summer crops, and was with
out receipts since last summer and
fall, and had been called upon in
the Second Loan as well.
But it would not be a simple mat
ter, even if the Fourth Loan were not
larger than the Third, because the
government is calling for increased
acreage on all crops, and especially
on wheat, the great Western staple,
to provide for the army of five mil
lion American troops with which it is
expected to crush the Hun utterly

NOTHING DOING ON PEACE
FLYER, SAYS UNCLE SAMUEL

By Carl Groat. at Washington. Sept.
26.-Von Hertling's peace flyer was
dismissed by officials here in the
same peremptory manner as was the
austrian peace note. They branded It
as insincere. and as only another ef-
fort to squeeze out OF the war with
the best possible bargain before the
Americans put the finishing touches
to the teuton dream of world conquest
Officials stated that n look at the
Russian situation would prove that
germany's glib acceptance of wilson's
principles is not from the heart. Pres
ident Wilson demanded the evacuation
of Russia and the abandonment OF
teuton control there. but germany's
acts show plainly that she aims to
handle Russia. Officials declare that
even granting that Won Hertling's
so-called acceptance of the principles
is genuine basis for discussing
peace is not offered. Any conference
must follow an armistice which shall
include the withdrawal OF the ger.
mans from Russia, Belgium and
France. and there is no indication that
germany is ready to do that.

ate who have but one and get through
