terday in a bitter debate which fol-
lowed a speech by Senator Jones,

AMENDS
BILL TO GIVE
AID TOFARMERS
Loans Will Not Be Re
stricted to the Spring
Wheat Country
~ Aseoeiated Press.)

Washington, March 2s,-The house
last night registered opposition to
the government loaning money to the
farmers in any one section Of the
country in an effort to stimulate q
large grain production this year. A
bin designed to aid farmers Of the
spring wheat belt Of the northwest
was amended to make it applicable
TO the entire country, An effort to
defeat the measure after it was
amended, failed by a vote Of 14S to
106, and the house will continue its
consideration today.
Before the measure was amended,
it was attacked as sectional legis-
lation by both Democrats and Repub-
lican. Chairman Lever Of the agri-
cultural committee, in charge Of the
BILL, said the committee believed
farmers OF the northwest really
needed governmental aid this year
because Of the severe drouth, while
farmers in other sections Of the
country do not need help.
The bill carries an appropriation
of $7,500,000 to be loaned to farmers
in the spring wheat area to purchase
seed, and $2,500000 more for sup
plying labor in that area during the
harvest

tire interests and holdings in his

the past eight years has been owner

gressive movement in the community,

every capacity AFFORDED in a town Of
this size, and was just recently re-
elected to the board of trustees of
Neville; also secretary OF the Neville
Commercial club, besides being secre-

DON'T SELL YOUR BOND
& ey HAROLD A. LAMB
n Of che Viollanteo.

Your Liberty, bond-whether 1t IL for
$50 or $5,O0O-ls your savings, To
sell 1t is to lose your savings. The
longer you keep your bond, the more
valuable 1t is going to be.
It does no good to Uncle Sam to
subscribe to his loan, and then sell the
amount Of your subscription. Many
of us have strained ourselves to buy
the bonds, and necessity may force
some Of US to get the money back.
But the way to do this is not to sell
q bond. Dishonest sharpers will take
your bonds and give you, say, $50 for
the 500.
If you must have money, 60 to re-
liable bank or broker. They will lend
you $50 on the 500, and the interest
on your bond will nearly pay the in
terest on the money they lend you.
Then by paying the loan, you can have
the bond back.
Uncle Sans securities are making
money for you while you hold them.
Two years after the war ends they
will be worth-it is estimated-$11O.
II the war ends in three years or I'M
der you will then be receiving 6K
per cent-on the safest investment In

lone of the most exciting tasks to
which airmen are assigned is "desul-
tory bombing" over one spot for an
hour or more. The object is to dis
tract the attention Of the antiaircraft
defenders Of given district.
A machine carrying a dozen or more
bombs is employed for the work. The
airman, pilot and an observer ap-
proach their target cautiously. With
engines throttled down, the craft glides
nearer and nearer.
Below all is quiet. No German
searchlights are sweeping the sky.
When the attackers are almost over
their object a rocket rises and bursts
into a cluster of red stars.
The machine has been discovered.
At once six or seven searchlights throw
their beams aloft. The pilot looks at
his watch; it Is time to begin bombing.
He flies steadily on, although a BAR
rage of bursting shells lies now In
front of him. The observer looks
through the wires Of his bomb sight.
He thrusts his lever forward and re-
leases two bombs. A few seconds
later he sees the flash of their explo-
sions, and hears two dull roars. he
signals to the pilot and the machine
sweeps away from the fiery ring OF
shells and searchlights.
A few miles away the airplane flies
to and fro at top speed. The puzzled
searchlights vainly feel the sky in all
directions and then, one by one, are
switched of.
Then the pilot quickly returns to-
ward the target. Another bomb is
dropped. AS it explodes the search
lights reappear and the barrage is re-
newed, while through the shell bursts
are threaded the chains Of green fam
ing globes so much used by the Ger
mans. .~
Again the machine flies away and
this time to bewilder the soldiers be-
low, the observer fires white Verey
light, which slowly drifts down and
fades out. All the searchlights follow
1t until 1t dies.
Repeatedly the airmen return to the
attack. Bombs are dropped at inter.
walls until the end Of the hour, when
the machine departs, Pickering fires

havoc wrought by the bombs.

BRAvADO AND THE WAR
BY ROBERT GRANT
Of tho viailantes.

Recently during an intermission at
the movies a performer came out and
sang with gusto a song, which pleased
the audience about "Pershing Crossing
the Rhine" Every few days one reads
headlines in the newspapers proclaim
Ing that nine Americans have repulsed
or vanquished So Germans. This L.
baleful talk. Our delay in the produc-
tion Of ships and airplanes and guns
may have been unavoidable, seeing
that some people are thanking God
that the United States entered the war
unprepared, but we should at least re-
frain from bravado, stop Boosting Of
what we are going to do and recognize
tho gravity Of our undertaking.. I
heard an American ofncer high in conn
mand say not long ago, If our troops
ever reach Berlin, when they come to
q certain building-the quarters Of the
German military stan, let them lift
their hats" He spoke from the point
Of view Of military prowess.
It Is meet for Americans to bear In
mind that all other wars which they
or any other people have fought were
child's play compared with this the
most terrible and relentless contest in
history, and that their part In it has
only Just begun. Let US cease to hug
the delusion that our troops are ''Over
there" to show the others how to fight
and that all will soon be over but the
shouting. Let US open our minds to
the grim truth that this war which we
have pledged ourselves to win is like
ly to be a supreme test of American
energy. endurance and self-sacrifice
and to cost thousands Of American
lives. We are all Of the belief that no
man is drawer than an American, but
1t is}indispensable that we appreciate
the quality Of the foe against whom
we are :pitted; that he is the arch-fiend
of military competency and power, the
ruthless, unwearying embodiment Of
mastery force aud resistance, q mon
stera Of resourcefulness such as the
world has never seen.
The prophecy that Pershing will
cross the Rhine had better be post
poned until he arrives in sight Of 1t.
and. the confidence that two Of Uncle
Sans soldiers can handle three Of the
enemy begput In cold storage until q
later stage Of the conflict.
