Your Country Appeals to You

The women of France are plow-
ing the fields that the men of their
army shall be fed. Will not the
women of America lend money to
their country that their own fight
! ing men may be provided for?
The women of England, from
the highest to the humblest, are
toiling in munition factories to
make guns and shells for their
soldiers. Will not the women of
America do that far easier thing
of merely lending the money to
buy the guns for equipping the A
merican men?
The safety for which the women
of these other lands are striving
was won for American women
long ago by the swords of Ameri-
can men. TO preserve this safety
for you and your children, Ameri-
can men are now marching to bat
tie, even as their fore fathers
marched. Will American women
stand shoulder to shoulder with
them? They are offering their
lives as a gift. Will you not offer
your dollars as a loan?
To save your homes from the
flames destroying France, your
babies from the sword that MUIR
dered infants in Poland, your
daughters from the hordes that
ravishcd Belgian women even as
they fled through the streets, A
merican men are making the SUI
prcme sacrifice. What sacrifice
will you make to help equip these
defenders of your country? What
will you give up that you may help
finance the struggle to save Amer
lean freedom.
Not a gift, but loan, is asked
of you. Not a free loan, but a
loan at interest. Will you with
hold your money, while men offer
their blood? Buy a Liberty Bond
for your country's sake. Put it in
your own name. Buy one for the
daughter it may save. Buy one
for the boy too small to fight.

SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY
Offered by the Government for
Small Investments

Week ending March 23rd broke
all records of the sale of war saw
ings stamps in Florida, the total
amount of sales reported through
the post office alone was $45, OPS
26, with many of the offices still to
be heard from, which it is believed
at State Headquarters will in
crease the amount to considerably
over $4,000.
State Director Griggs calls at
tention to the fact that the ratio of
sales is still far below what will be
necessary for Florida to make up
its quota, with the amount assign
ed for Florida to raise is $20,000,-
900, which means nearly $4,000
900 per month, andSo far the sales
have been but little over half-a-
million dollars, most Of which has
been sold through the post Offices
The total up to date from this
source beng S494, sly. III.
The Liberty Loan and War Saw
ings Stamps are two forms of the
same financial operation of the
United States government, says
the director. They were author
lied by the same vote of congress
and are intended to supplement
each other. They are both of
paramount Importance to the fl
nancing of the war. The Liberty
Loan campaign is primarily to OBJ
tain the many billions of dollars
necessary toward paying the ex-
penseS of war and lending to our
allies.
The peculiar significance of the
War Savings movement is to teach
the nation to save and to invest
its savings in War Savings Stamps
in order that the government may
not merely get money, but spend
this money for the support of the
army.
Successive Liberty Loan Bonds
will be sold in campaigns at inter
walls. The War Savings campaign
will last throughout the year-no
doubt until the war is over. 1t
aims at developing habits of thrift
that shall make the sales of stamps
cumulative. And the person of
limited means who invests in a
few War Savings stamps does his
share as well as the weather. man

Loan Bonds. Millions who could

FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED
TOBACCO TASTES BETTER
TOASTED

Since the day of the caveman. who
liked his meat raw, civilization has
learned lot about the scientific treat
ment of the things we eat.
Naturally none of us would now
prefer to have our meat raw, our po-
tatoes as they come from the ground,
our coffee unroasted.
And naturally follows the great dis
covcry recently made by The Ameri-
can Tobacco Co.-that tobacco tastes
better TOASTED!
This wonderful new idea-simple
like all great inventions-was first
used in producing the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarette-made of toasted
Burley tobacco.
Burley has mellow flavor, entirely
different from the tobacco usually
used for cigarettes. 1t is pipe to-
bacco andLUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes
taste like pipe.

boarding is Intolerable

while the national food admin
istration is pointing out the I'M
fairness of boarding foods, the T.
University of Florida extension di-
vision calls attention to a kind of
boarding that might prove equal

the essentials for producing food.
1t is generally agreed that the seed
shortage is the worst this country
has ever experienced and the sup
ply of fertilizers is far below nor
NAL.
1t is essential that both these i
TENS be used efficiently. No more
should be ordered than is necessa-
ny, and where an over7supply is
already on hand make it known so
that others may, be able to make
use of it.
Neither is this the proper time
to try experimental crops. Crops
that have been tried in the commu-
nifty, so that their successful cul-
ture under ordinary conditions is
assured, should be the ones to re-
ceive most attention. And these
should be food crops.

CoTTAGE-CH VS.. MEAT
Florida Woman Appointed to Give
Instructions

Washington, April 22.-The Blu
reau of Animal Industry of the De-
partment of Agriculture has
named Miss Nellie McQuarrie, a
domestic science teacher Of 1nver-
ness, Florida, to encourage in
Florida the production of cottage
cheese on farms and also to stimu-
late its use in homes.
Miss McQuarrie, one of AZ wo-
men agents named for as many
States, is to cooperate with FEEDER
al and State agricultural and
home-demonStration agents. Miss
Madge Reese, formerly State
home-demOnstration agent in Ala
bama, is the leader in the cottage
cheese work for the Southern
States.
The work in Florida will be part
OF the Department of Agricul-
lures national campaign, in CO.
operation with the United States
Food Administration, to encour-
age the use, as well as the pro-
duction, of cottage cheese, which
experiments by the department
have shown is equal in food value
to meat. Cottage cheese can be
made from skim milk or butter
milk, now largely wasted or fed to
animals, and its extended use is
expected to save a large amount
of meat which can be used by the
armies and allies of America.

COTTON AND BONDS.

In the Congressional Record for
last Thursday appears the transcript
of a speech on the Liberty Loan and
War Savings Stamps, delivered at
Raleigh, n. c., by James II. i'ou, who
| is described by Senator Simmons as
one of the ablest lawyers and clearest
thinkers of North Carolina. At the
request of the senator, the entire
speech. reduced to the form of CUES.
tions and answers, was published in
the Congressional Record, and in pro,
posing publication the senator said
TO- 900 copies had been printed and
circulated through the state by the
committee in charge of North Caro-,
lina's Liberty Loan campaign.
In his address Mr. Pou refers Ia
ithe question of price fixing as il n.
fects cotton. or as it will affect cot.
ton if it is applied He makes il
plain that he is an extensive cotton
grower and familiar with prices and
their relation TO the values of land
labor and the other items which en-.
ter into the problems of the cotton
producer.
Mr. Pou figures that a 30-cent price
on cotton will return the farmer of
the south $3.50 an acre annually, and
although he does not want less than
that he expresses willingness 10 &C
icept 30-cent figure. He says farm
.eTs in the south are refusing to buy
Liberty Bonds because the govern
.ment is threatening to fix the price of
cotton, and his argument on this sub
ject is not prepared as an economic
treatise nor for general circulation,
perhaps, but for the consideration of
the southerner only.
AS far as the Ottumwa Courier can
see he makes a pertty good case. Al.
so he confirms what has been said in
these columns about the effect of the
attitude Of the present administration
toward the Aoutherner., He shows
by absolute figures that the southern
cotton grower is receiving price for
his product which exceeds $3.50 an
acre-the price has been 50 cents in
stead of 80 great deal of the time
and he calls attention to the ad.
vantage the southerner has enjoyed
over the people of the north as the re.
suit of the fixing of some prices by
the government while others, nota-
bly, that of cotton. has been left to
soar TO unprecedented heights.
And yet the southern farmer will
not buy bonds unless he is guaranteed
a profiteering return of $3.50 per acre.
Some patriotism that,

TlMeReLL SUCCEEDS HENLEY IN
DRAFT SERVICE.

Following the resignation of Sheriff
d. f. Henley from the Local Draft
Board, the Appointment of Jap Tim
brell OF Lakonta was announced this
morning in official communication
from department headquarters. Tho
appointment was made by President
Wilson upon recommendation of Gov
ernOr w. L. Harding.
The sheriff has other work that
claims first attention in connection
with his Office and frequently when on
duty with official papers in another
part Of the county his presence would
be required by the Board. He has ser.
we'd on the board since the entrance of
America into the war and, creation OF
the Service through the first draft
work. 1t is a big work and while he
had the time Mr.. Henley gave ii his
attention freely. gratuitously and with
out compensation of any character
whatsoever.
Mr.. Timbrell is so situated that he
can give the position the time neces.
sary. He is well known and through
former acquaintance with county af-
fairs as sheriff is well qualified to
serve in the place.

rnE "spANIsH INFLUENZA

The prevailing influenza which Is
affecting so many people and soaring
so many other people may be part
of German propaganda, says the Des
Moines Capital. II the Germans have
spies enough to undertake TO spread
hog cholera among the herds in the
Mississippi Valley they may have
had skill and ingenuity enough to
discover the way and manner of
spreading this troublesome and dan
gerous affection. 1t is not really sur
prising to know that every mean thing
is now charged to German propaEaa
da because the Germans have been TO
blame for so much that it is easy 10
accuse them of doing more. II Is
also easy TO believe for the reason
that the Germans, long before the
war, began to lay their Plans TO meet
every emergency Before the war
they knew the location OF all import
ant buildings and bridges in the
United States. They knew where the
grain would be stored. The spirit
of evil seemed TO control them and
10 guide them. The doctors have
not discovered the germ, but ii should
be very simple one. The nose and
throat are tender and easily subject
TO disease. The only thing which ac
quits the Germans in this matter is
the fact that this country has had this
same influenza at two other periods
While this might be an acquittal il
might also be evidence against the
Germans. Having known about the
disease and its work in former years
the thought of spreading il may have
occurred to their minds. However
