WE'RE ON THE TEAM;
WE'RE IN THE GAME;
WE'RE OUT TO WIN
BY A. ALohzo stage.

Famous Athletic Coach University Of
Chicago.
said to q friend recently that !
had not felt so poor in "a years, OF
since I was freshman at Yale work
ing my way through. "Well, don't you
think we ought all Of us to feel poor
these days?" was the reply. That il
just the point. We ought. If we don't
feel on the strain most Of the time
these days I doubt whether we are dc
ing our full duty In helping win the
war.
My observation is that we never &C.
complish much In this life without be-
ing dead in earnest, without hard work
and without self-sacrifice, and can't
figure out how we can win this war
without all Of us cooperating most
generously along these lines. First
Of all. unless we feel dead in earnest
about our winning the war there 10
something wrong with W and It were
better that mill stone were hanged
about our neck and we were drowned
in the depth Of the sea.
No one will work hard and make
personal sacrifices unless his heart IL
in the enterprise. The beautiful part
Of this affair is that we can all be in
tive are all on the big team with a
chance to play the game to our limit.
AT present we must play the particu-
lar position which Is assigned to us,
and play it for all that is in us wheth.
er we like our Job OF not.
The main thing and the loyal and
the patriotic thing Is that we give to
our utmost Of time and energy and
money. Putting the fourth Liberty
Loan across means that each one Of
us must give that uttermost Of time
and energy and money.
We're on the team, we're iii the
game. we're out to win. Now let's
get down under 1t and root and lift
and boost until we cross the goal line.

FARMERS AT START OF
TWO VITAL CAMPAIGNS
TilIers of the Soil Must Prepare for
Next Years Harvest and New
Fighting Loan"

Farmers of the United States, whose
work the last twelve months in for
tifying the food lines of the allies has
been OF such supreme Importance, are
now ut the start of two vital cam
paigilS-preparing for the 1919 wheat
harvest and for the "Fighting Loan"
The wheat harvest of 1919 will be the
Liberty Wheat Harvest and the gov
eminent has asked again for the CO.
operation aud support of the wheat
producers to sow 47,500,O00 or more
acres of winter wheat this fall to
guarantee against possible partial crop
failure next year. Uncle Sam knows
from past performance that the Amer
lean farmer again will come across"
ut the call. The United States grain
grower now realizes fully that he is
the main line of defense in the allied
food army, and he is proud of his po-
sition and of his achievements. With
out the essential food reserves there
will never be Il grand smash that will
overwhelm the destroyers of the
worlds peace, but with the American
farmer holding the line, the food re-
serves will be on call, and the grand
smash will come rs surely as thA
American nation is in the war.
Coincdent with the beginning of the
campaign for the Liberty Wheat Har-
vest will be the Inauguration of the
campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan
the Fighting Loan" Both OF these
campaigns are vitality important. Both
Will be backed to the limit by the
farmer. Both will bear positive witness
to the enemy of the solidarity and sim
gleness of purpose of this country !;
both will heighten the morale of the
allied peoples and give conquerng
spirit of confidence to the allied
armies; and both will enable Uncle
Sam to throw the whole weight of his
mighty resources against the crncking
German line, so that the harvesting of
the Liberty Wheat Crop may indeed
be a harvest of freedom. the Hun
overthrown. justice and right triumph
ant, and the world at peace.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
!: THE "TEA PARTY :
!: AND THE KAISER :
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

BY LOUIS ALBERT LAMB.
My grandsire painted red his hide
In ancient Mohawk style,
And crcpt down to the Mystic side
To wait a little while.
Then other Yanks in redskin guise
Collected at the bay
And took the tea ship by surprise
And threw the tea away.
Old George the Third was much
averse
To freedom for the Yanks;
His taxes were deadly curse
He taxed and gave no thanks.
But when the Mohawk Boston men
Dumped all the tea to port
King George began to think again
And arm for warlike sport"
He sent his Hessiaps over here
To kill Cap. Barker's boys.
To burn the school and meeting house
And other such annoys;
But when they came to Bunker Fill
That jolly day in June
And Warren met 'em with will
They piped another tune.
The Yanks have got job today
That's worthy of the race;
The kaiser treads a rocky way
And spars to save his face.>
But all the Ynnks have gone to France
En- route for old Berlin:
If we buy Bonds at every chance
You bet the Yanks will win!
Our grandsires dished King Georges
will
And salted all his tea.
Our boys will do the same for Bill,
Kaiser of Germany!
The only way to push the work
And make Berlin our own.
Is this: Get busy, do not shirlS
But BUY THE "FIGHTING LOAN"

WOMAN GREAT HELP IN
LIBERTY LOAN WORK
Has Become Integral Part In Sharing
Obligation of Financing
the War.
BY MISS GRACE DIXON,
Federal Reserve Director for Wo,nel
in Severth District


Federal Reserve Director for Women
in Seventh District.
One Of the great truths we have
learned in this war Is the need of men
and women working together under
standingly and sympathetically-an
mated by the same spirit of helpful
ness. of fearlessness, of enthusiasm.

honor equal power. For men and
women working together with unanim-
ity of purpose make the ideal service
for the nation. Taking Lincoln's great
words 1--WE all need to work together
to the end" that loyalty Of the people
by the people shall not perish from the
earth.
To write of the activities of the
women's work in the Seventh district
is pleasure, as we have become such
an integral part in sharing the obli-
CATION of financing the war. That the
work of the women and men might be
more effectively co-ordinated in the
district, the director for women has
been made a member of the campaign
committee as well as Of the executive
committee of the federal reserve bank
ing committee. The state cllairmen,
county clarmen and city chairmen
have been made members of the eSecu.
tive committees of the mems Organiza-
ton in their respective states, counties
and cities.
The definite activities for women
shall be:
\ 1. All women's organizations that
are listed strictly under women, such
as clubs, fraternal societies, lodges,
leagues, guilds, etc:
2. All elementary and high schools,
private and parochial schools.
g. All booths, such as street, hotel,
restaurant and cafeteria, department
store and theater booths.
4. Women shall cooperate with the
mems committee in churches, univer-
sites, ward organizations and any 9TH
err committees where they can be of
service.

separate reports Of the amount of sub
scriptions taken be given by women.

tinct and complete understanding
with the county chairmen Of the

that no misunderstanding will arise on
this subject during the campaign
Where regular campaigns for solicit
ing subscriptions are made by both
men and women, separate record
must, of course, be kept and re-
ported.
Dr. Anna Shaw's admonition to the
women of America "That every woman
should tie her child to the United
States government by little bond"
is the slogan that is the inspiration of
our workers. Through our various
churches, schools, clubs, we hope to
reach every home in this country-for
we realize that If we can touch and
kindle the patriotic ardor of women
and bring women of diversified expert
ences and standards of living to q
realization of their responsibilities,

WHOLE NATION AT WAR;
NOT ONLY SOLDIERS
BY c. II. Martin, Major Gen. U.
S. Army, Commanding Camp
Grant, Illinois.

The Fourth Liberty Loan
should again foreibly remind
everybody that the whole nation
IL in the war. and not merely
the men in uniform.
We are teammates in
mighty game; game which
has been developing for cen
tarieS. The contending teams
are Autocracy and Democracy,
and life is the stake for which
they IRE playing. We are now
at the very climax of that age
lsng struggle.
Your part on the team re-
4uirsa devotion and disinter-
ested forgetfulness Of self as
complete and unfagsing as you
expect from the men in uni
fern. No one can do his duty on
any team who measures his
duty by any other standard than
ME tpIllC IL Ue
measured by comparisons with
the performances of others.
Do not think that the front,
snly, is the war; the front is d
part Of the team. l like to think
that 1t is part of sufficient i'm
psrtanco to engage your en-
thusiastic interest and support.
The anxiety with which you
wait for good news from the
trent Is of the same variety as
that which the front waits for
good news from the back. Any
especially good plays on any
part Of the team strengthens the
heart Of every member of the
team.
It is your play now; oversub-
sssihs this loan cheerfully and
with enthusiasm.
Get into the game.

THE FARM AND THE WAR
BY [. H. Bailey ION Former
President Rooseveit's Rural
Life commissIon.)

The response of the farming
people to the Third Liberty
Loan was gratifying. It was
what we expected. as soon as
the question was put before the
farmers directly. hope that the
Fourth Liberty Loan will be
taken still more freely by the
rural people.
No great war can be won
In these days without the ac-
tive cooperation OF all the peo-
pie. We contribute by giving our
selves, our business, upholding
the hands of the government,
and loaning the government our
money. This money has been ac-
cumulated because we have
prospered, and because our gov
eminent has protected us. The
investment Is the best. and the
spirit that takes Liberty Bonds
is the same spirit that makes
good crops. The farmers crops
have saved us.
We cannot think of losing
this war. We cannot run the
risk of an agriculture controlled
by headstrong, immoral state,
such as would be imposed on, us
II Prussia were to succeed. Agri-
culture lies at the foundation Of
our system of democracy; its
opinion must count in our pub
lie policies; this means that
farmers must take such an ac-
tive part In the maintenance Of
the war that they will have a
right to be heard. They have
taken this part thus far, and ]
know that they will be stead
fast to the end.
