LABOR AND CAPITAL UNITE
All Classes Must Buy Liberty Bonds
to Help Win the War.

We are face to face with the most
critical situation in American affairs.
The time has come when each indi.
vidual. no matter what his or her call
ing, must do his utmost to help in
winning the wal to rid the world OF
German autocracy. to protect his home
and the love Of freedom, and to insure
the coming generations that same
freedom which is so dear to every
American citizen.
In this cause there must be nc
class distinction; the laborer and cap
italist are equally Interested and af
fected, and each must. for the time
forget self and stand shoulder tc

In this crisis.
A war cannot be conducted without
money. Less than 100000 people
subscribed to the first two Liberty
Loans. There ought to be 100000 0t

FARMERS SUPPORT The LOAN
BY Clifford v. Gregory.
Editor, the Prairie Farmer.

It takes money to fight a great war
through to victory and 1t is up to US
to furnish 1t. There was some critt
cism at the time Of the second Liberty
Loan to the effect that farmers were
not buying bonds as literally as they
should. Most Of this criticism was
untustifed. though there is here and
there q Stacker In the country az we'll

to subscribe to this Loan for 1t comes
at a time when we have more of the
years products turned into cash.
Let us subscribe with q willingness
that will make criticism impossible,
that will show Uncle Sam the farm.
ers Of America are behind him with
their money as well as with their
plows. Every dollar subscribed to
the Liberty Loan helps to bring tie
kaiser's day Of reckoning nearer.

An article recently published in
some papers Of tho Central West gave
an erroneous impression as to the part
the farmer should play in financing
the great struggle for liberty and
world freedom. 1t suggested that the
farmer should not borrow money with
which to buy Liberty Bonds-that he
should not Inconvenience himself In

Cross is content. And while it is not affiliated exclusively
