Look for those that have green bud

the roots, leaving a little dirt cling1ng
to them. Take them home, and when
YOU have picked over what you wish
for a mess lay the ones with the buds
in a big shallow pan, sprinkle them
slightly every day, and for week the
buds will unfold into firm leaves and
you can have them fresh every day.

YOUR PATRIOTISM
 TOLD IN DOLLARS

The size of Your Bond Purchase, means Considered. Tells the Tale.
 What is 1t worth to you?
 Does American Liberty mean any. thing in your scheme of life? If 1t 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. It lays upon all the higher and bigger things in life. It repre- sents things that no amount of money can buy. It is
 But hold on a 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 it other wise, if there were danger of its being driven from you-and if MONEY, a 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 humanly possible, since all things are possible, that the hordes of the Huns may overrun Europe and the whole civilized world. If they do, the American type of Liberty will come near to vanishing from the earth. You will enjoy Q much diluted and sadly modified form of 1t, at best,
 If we are wise, we will acknowledge the danger and do our utmost to avert it. That can best be done by those of us who can not go to the front by loaning the United States Government all of our money that we can. It takes money-unthinkable sums of money more money than the world has ever had called for for any purpose hither' toto 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 worl1
 So get down to brass tacks.' an! count up the value of American Lib. erty in MONEY. Then buy your part of the Third Liberty Loan and buy it gladly.
 You might even help some other fsl- low buy part of his.
 It's worth the price.

FARMERS URGED ID
 BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Must inconvenience Himself if 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 r. .ance. At this particular ums it is lo to ;il Americans to make sac rifices. T,is Is no time to th1nH of comfortablo financial circumstances and freedom from inconvenience. Ths government is at great deal of iu- convenience. If the boys at the blas- ing. thunderous front are standing in muddy trenches dodging hell splin- ters and Hun bullets and facing the terrible gas attacks. there is no req 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 to 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 fisht.
 If you haven't the money at hand to do your full duty toward the great cause. go out and borrow 1t from your bank-borrow so that you may buy bonds until it 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 nconvenience-think only of success.
