Put Money Into the Land.

Occasionally when driving through
the country some attractive farm will
be passed. Everything is in good
shape; there are windmills, there is a
silo; the fences are up and the land
in excellent filth. What is the secret
Of this? The answer always is: THAT
farmer has put money in his place"
America is a great farming nation,
as well as a great manufacturing ma
ton. It IS wonderfully prosperous tC-
day. There are railways, bridges, fac,
tories, mills, workshops and school,
houses. All this shows we have put
money into it. But there is today the
shadow of war hanging over the en-
tire land. The nation is In peril.
Now is the time of all times when
money must be put into this land Of
the free and the home of the brave
If 1t is to remain prosperous and hap
by. The purchase Of Liberty bonds
puts your money where it will do the
most good in this grave crisis.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1918-04-04

each paid two dollars week for room
and board at what then was one Of
the best family hotels in the state capt.
tai. Incredibly cheap? To US today,
yes, but not to the Americans of the
sos and COS. The purchasing power
Of dollar in those days was ire
mendous
When the Civil war broke out the
wealth of the United States was ap-
praised at s17O0O,OO0,00O. Let us be
liberal and make it S20,000,00O, at
the end Of that internecine strife, the
total cost Of which was S4,000000,0 900.
At that time the national debt was ST.
625,000,0O0. Put in another way, the
country had spent in the Civil war one
fifth Of her entire wealth.
What happened? Within eighteen
years the whole Of the national debt
was paid off; extinguished by a COM
monwealth with only one-third Of the
present population; with little or no
prestige as a world power; with all
her railways, half Of her city real es-
tate and 60 per cent of her farms mort
gagged to European capitalists; with
bank resources Of only $4,0O0,O0O,0O0
and with not dollars worth Of invest
ments abroad.
There are estimates that ere kaiser
ism shall be crushed our national OBJ
legation will stand at $20,000,000
That would mean about per cent OF
the wealth Of the nation (Which is not
less than $3.50 100000, O00) or 4 per cent
less than the percentage in 1865.
America today is the leading power,
the Wealthiest country in the world. It
is a creditor nation. It's railways, real
estate and farms are owned by her
own people and her bank resources to-
tai 1889, 100000.
After this, is it necessary to ask if
a United States government bond is d
safe investment? There is nothing
safer in the world; nothing which
promises so rapid and so high an ap-
probation once the war is ended.
These are the cold facts Of the propo-
sition. There is another side: the love
of-country, the love-of-Liberty, the
great-humanity-ca side.

SAYS HIT THE HUN
BY BUYING BONDS
Major General Barry Says Aid Liberty
Loan to Avert Indemnity
Fund.
BY MAJ. GEN. THOMAS II. BARRY,
Former Commandment at Camp Grant,


BY MAJ. GEN. THOMAS H. BARRY,
Former Commandant at Camp Grant,
Rockford, ILL.,
-Four years ago the German govern
ment started a war, which evidence
makes certain had for it's object the
domination of the world, the crushing
of democracy and the establishment of
autocracy in its stead.
Evidence of this far-reaching plot
appeared as the war was prosecuted
by the Germans with such lawless
cruelty, that in an effort to parallel
their inhuman savagery a shocked
world has revived the medieval word
"Hun."
The government of the United States
observed neutrality until their SOW
ereign rights were openly and contemp-
tueusly invaded. They were then
called upon to decide whether to sur
render their rights and their liberty
cided to engage in war. That war is
now in progress and it will be won by
hitting the Hun"
To hit the Hun, soldiers must go to
the firing line in Europe, but that costs
money, and if we are to shit the Hun
from the firing line at the front there
must be no faltering In the fund line
at the rear.
To prosecute the war successfully
larger sums of money are needed by
the government than it ever has need
ed before. I have read an estimate
that it costs a thousand dollars to
shoot Hun.
To provide the stupendous total the
government asks its citizens for a tenn
porary loan of the cash they have to
invest. AS security, it gives its prom
Use to repay the full amount with a
good rate of interest. The promise to
repay the amount borrowed constitutes
the Liberty bonds. They are offered
IN denominations to suit all purses,
and whoever subscribes to a Liberty
bond is helping to chit the Hun
A time will come when so many have
been hit that just one more will con-
stitute his defeat, the collapse of his
government and the triumph of liberty.
But the war will not be won until
some one has hit this last Hun.
So beg every American who has in
his heart love for the liberty he en-
joys and cash to invest to purchase
Liberty bonds, and I urge every social
club or society, every school, factory,
department store, boy scout company
and other organizations and individ-
uals to form Hitting the Hun clubs
and purchase Liberty bonds enough to
take a shot at Hun.
1t will give strength to the firing
line to observe strength in the fund
line, and some one will have the honor
of subscribing the fund that hits the
last Hun and the war will be won.
If we do not subscribe now to the
Liberty bonds, to win the war, we will
be compelled to subscribe later to an
indemnity fund for losing the war.

MONEY AS NEEDFUL AS
MEN, SAYS GOVERNOR
Wage Farmers, Business Men, Farmers
and Capitalists Are vitality Inter-
ested in Triumph of Our Arms.
BY FRANK o. LOWDEN,
EGoVernor of IIIinnis.1


This Is war to establish the right
OF people to govern themselves. 1t is,
therefore, a peoples war. But a peo-
pie cannot govern itself successfully
unless It is willing to finance a war
waged upon it by military autocracy.
Democracy is doomed, unless it has the
vitality to put forth its resources in
support Of war, in which it's very
right to exist is challenged.
Our enemy frequently has said that
we, as nation, care for money alone.
More than million Of our young men
have given the lie to this charge by Of
fering the supreme sacrifice-the sac
zrifice of life itself-that their coun-
try might endure. Shall it now be
said Of the other millions-the mil
lions who remain at home-that this
charge is true? Will not our people at
home, for whose security and future
our soldiers have gone to the colors,
government in the support of cause
for which these men gladly offer to
give their lives?
Remember, money is as needful as
men, If we are to prevail. Remember
that If we do prevail, these bonds will
be the best investment we shall have
made during the period Of the war. If
we fail, even then they will be worth
more than our cattle and lands, our
factories and stores, or any other prop
erty we may own,
Our wage earners, business men and
capitalists are vitality interested in the
triumph Of our arms. Let all sub
scribe in proportion to their means.
The number who shall partake of this
loan is as important as the total
amount subscribed. If our people gen
orally are united In absorbing our Lib
erty bonds, it will prove to the world
that democracy knows what its liber-
ties are worth, and is willing to de-
fend them at any cost.

On
CURED And
FROZEN Fish

March %, 1918-Reports from 1877
storages show that their rooms con-
tain 36,325,572 pounds of frozen fish,
while on February Is, 189 storages
reported 44,O66,945 pounds. The stor-
ages that reported for March Is, of
this year and last show a present
stock of 26,977,O44 pounds as COM
pared with 22,1O2,342 pounds last
year, an increase Of 4,874,702 pounds,
or 22.1 per cent. The reports show
that from February Is to March Is,
the February Is holdings decreased
17.3 per cent. Last year the decrease
during the same period was $40 per
cent. As number of storages have
not responded to our inquiries, this
report does not include all holdings.

War and the Weather.

The Almighty makes the weather,
not man, and if the weather doesn't
suit US, we have to wait. The farmer
knows what a days rain will do in
the way of upsetting plans. One
can't pillow in the mud and a cutting
of hay or wheat may be damaged or
ruined by one nights downpour.
The war department, too, is up
against the weather in France. Three
inches of rainfall may make the cOun-
try impossible for half a million men
and horses and mOtOrtrucks and
ruin the chances Of victory or bring
defeat. When the war department
has the weather to worry about don't
add to its worries by Withholding
money and, consequently, supplies.
The purchase of Liberty bonds will
help Pershing lot this summer.

MARSHFIELD
(From Marshfeld Herald.)

FROM MarSnnelQ herald
The way the calves were brought
in for market Monday, it didn't look
as though we would have another
meatless day.
1t is hard to believe as you bask
in the sunshine of this spring weather
that this world is at war and daily
thousands of men are being slaugh-
tered. All because of one man, the
Kaiser, wants to rule the world.
Billy Sunday says the war is in the
last half of the ninth inning and that
Uncle Sam has been called in as a
clean up hitter. Let US hope he is
right.
The first touring car of the season
passed thru Marshfield Sunday. The
owner and driver of the car lived at
Appleton and was on his way to Med
ford.
Out of a class of eighteen candi-
dates who took examination for ad-
mission to the state bar, Charles M.

passing the required test.

Tor your government and see to it
that your neighbor buys a bond. Ex-
plain to him that you and he have to
do this, as the soldier at the front has
to fight.
Russia failed to support it's army
and its army failed to fight for Rus
STA, and today Germany is taking over
thousands of square miles of rich
farming and mineral lands, title to
which is held by Russians who will
have their deeds considered mere
scraps of paper by their conquerors.
Buy bonds from your government and
sell them for it. Make the United
States a success instead Of a failure,
like Russia.

TEN WANTED
ORDNANCE
DEPARTMENT
From: Civilian Personnel Section.
Ordnance Department, 1880 F
Street, \. W., Washington D. c.

Uncle Sam must have at once ap-
proximately forty-three hundred es-
pecially trained employees to assist in
the manufacture of munitions. This
is patriotic civilian service and is vi
tai to the successful prosecution of
the work of the Ordnance Department.
This call for men is urgent. MUM
tons must be manufactured in ire
mendous quantity for our soldiers in
France. No one factor will bring VIC
tory in this war. Ships must be con-
structed; transportation provided;
food conserved; fuel saved; and NUM-
lions delivered promptly as demanded
by the Commanding Officer of our
oversee forces.
The time has arrived when every
