WEIGHT RESTS ON
AMERICAN FARMER

Upon no one class rests a greater
responsibility than upon the Amari-

sons and daughters constitutes one
third Of our population. He has the
first and great responsibility af pro-
viding food for the nation at home,
food for the fighting men abroad, and
food for our allies In the battle line
and their civilian population.
England, with millions Of acres Of
parks and hunting grounds converted
into farms can only raise crops to
feed her people half the year. France,
with every man In uniform, and
nearly half her fields overrun by
armies, does even less.
With her grain fields extended by
millions of acres of new land, Ameri'
ca is responding to the call ard allied
hunger will never be an ally to Ger

cas- huge war loans are coming bach
to the farmer In payment for his

 THE NEAR FUTURE:

Washington, Nov. 20-Government war bond selling in the future will be along distinctly new lines. Bonds will have short maturities and Sec retary McAdoo explained today that by this is meant from three to seven or eight years. In addition, issues will be smaller than in the past and probably will be marketed more continuously.
 War savings organizations through out the country will assist in placing direct manner than in past liberty loan campaigns. The 1-4 per cent interest rate borne by the last two issues of liberty bonds, may be changed. depending on other terms of the securities.
 Amounts of future issues, interest rates and time of marketing cannot be determined for another month or Gw9. but the heavy over-subscription of the fourth liberty loan, with a to- tai of s6,989,O47 900, or 16.4S per cent. more than the 5000, 900, 900 sought, will enable the treasury to postpone the next issue longer than otherwise. It is expected by spring National managers of the war saw ings movement conferred today over plans for further consolidating war savings and liberty loan committees in each locality in preparation for the next issue of bonds.

 President Wilson has set no limits on the length of his stay abroad in connection with the meeting of the peace conference. This was the impression gained by Democratic senators at conference with the President last night.

 The President Is understood to hold that while staying at an American | embassy abroad he is technically on American soil and for that reason can perform practically all of the functions of his office.
