Kicking K aiserBill

An employer having large in
terests recently admitted, after
some questioning, that war con
ditions we're cutting down his
profits and his overhead expense
was increasing. He explained
that, literally speaking, he was
allowed to be called the owner,
and for this privilege he was
expected to pay the taxes.
,Theneatne a good strong healthy
laugh, and as the employers
fist came down on the desk he
exclaimed, That's all right,
business will get along some
way, we have got to win the
war first"
There are many big men just
like this employer who are CIV
ing their dollars and sons 10 the
cause of Liberty.
This is the spirit that places
America on a par with her allied
friends.
Every American is kicking, but
kicking in the wrong way to
suit Kaiser Bill, because all the
kicks are directed towards Ber-
lin, and the "kickers" are wear
ing one of those II told you So
smiles.
Swat the fellow who kicks for
the Kaiser by telling you to eat
meat on meatless days and
wheat on wheatless days. If
you don't get him, he will be
sure to get you.
Crandall Bros. are ready to
swat the Kaiser in any way we
can and we are here to sell you
Groceries and Meat and all
kinds of good things to eat on
as close margin as possible.

THE FARMER AND
THE WORLD WAR
~ Henry J. Waters

(Mr. Waters. an agricultural authority,
formerly president OF the Kansas State
Agricultural College and at present edi-
in Europe when the World War began.)
No class Of men in this country
should be more interested In the sue
cess OF the war than the farmers.
The spirit of the farmer is and al
ways has been the essence Of democ.
racy, and this war is being fought,
as the President has so fittingly
stated, to make the world safe for
democracy. No undemocratic civil.
cation has ever given the farmer o
square deal. A world unsafe for
democracy is a world unsafe for the
farmer.
With his interests thus at stake, the
farmer may we'll invest, to the limit

great struggle. 1t is true that he is

ure Of crops, as service to the ma.

is giving his sons to fight in the great
cause. But these alone are not
enough. II every man would do his
best In whatever industry he is en-.
gagged in, or even II every man could
enlist for actual combatant service,
there would still be the need for
money. The example Of Russia shows
the hopelessness of carrying on war
without money. The citizens of the
United States-all the citizens-must
get back Of the United States with

Aside from the fact that they rep

are the surest investment in the
world. The credit OF the United
States-better. and greater than the

guarantees the interest on these
bonds and guarantees the payment of
the principal upon maturity. They
are the one investment that drouth,

The farmers have at all times been
wise investors; they have also been
loyal, whole.hearted patriots. Be.
cause of these facts the country is
counting on the farmer. Lam conf.
