The home of Gen. William Henry
Harrison, at North Bend, which he
maintained all through the years of
his public services, and to which he
retired when in private life, was really
in part a log cabin. One who was a
guest there in 1916 describes it as a
long, rambling structure, part two sto-
ries in height, but mostly with one
story, with the wide front facing the
Ohio river, from which it stood back
about three hundred yards.
There were nine rooms in all on the
ground floor, says the Columbus Dis

FARMERS WILL NOT
FAIL nv THIS LOAN
Secretary Houston Says Each Must
Feel Personal Responsibility.

Secretary D. F. Houston of the
Dept. of Agriculture has sent this
message to the American farmer:-4
THE 4th Liberty Loan will not fail
for lack Of support OF American far
mers.
THAT Ia the answer | am giving
to those who ask nre what the re-
Spouse of the American farmer will
be. am making this confident
assertion In the face Of the fact that
the American people are being asked
to make colossal contribution to
Aberty--six billion dollars.
American farmers have demon
st eted their patriotic support OF the
nations great war loans. One OF the
most striking features OF the Bird
Liberty Loan was the support given
1t by the farming and rural popula-
tions. Not emily did farmers purchase
literally OF the bonds, but the rural
communities as rule, were more
prompt In completing their quotas Of
the Loan than the larger cities. More
than 10000 communities In the y, 3.
subscribed or over subscribed their
quotas Many OF them on the first
day OF the campaign. The majority
OF these were net cities, but country
districts.
But we have now @ greater effort
to make. and the responsibility Ia
more directly than ever upon the
individual farmer The conditions
throughout the country, particularly
In New England, make It impossible
to go to the farmer. II Is for him
to act with full knowledge Of the
situation that confronts the nation.
Our largest war loan has been
launched 1t vii tax our determina-
ton to defend our liberty and our
Republic at all costs. Our Armies in
the field are lighting VIGOROUSLY
The forces at home are now in an
offensive that must not fail With
out stint or limit" let us buy Liberty
bonds that we may attain our oh
iective--a righteous and lasting world
