FARMERS BACK LIBERTY LOAN
BY Alison Secor,
Editor. Successful Farming.

Editor, SUCCESSFUL I dTElilS,.
There are about 100000 men now
under arms, training to fight. and
it takes lot of money to feed, clothe,
transport and equip such a force Of
consumers who previously were self
supporting. Uncle Sam cannot at once
reach into the pockets Of those who
stay at home and draw out by tax
alton enough money TO pay the bills
of such an army and navy. The only
possible source of ready cash is 10
borrow from those who have 1t.
The farmers have shown their
energy in producing the largest crops
and have endured hardships due 20 a
shortage of help. and | believe they
will lean to Uncle Sam every dollar
they can spare. thus giving full sup
port tc the farmers sons who are
ready to make the supreme sacrifice,
that We may not be conquered by
such foe as Germany.
Just as your few bushels OF grain
and pounds of meat will, when put
with the products Of all the farms.
save world from starvation. so the
amount of your money, put with all
the money which may be loaned to
the government for Liberty bonds. will
prevent this great war from ending
in favor Of the foe. liberty bonds

Kenosha county closed her campaign
for the United States Student Nurse
Reserve drive Saturday, night and as
usual came out with flying colors.
During the three weeks of the cam
paign, thirty-two Kenosha girls have
been enlisted into this noble service,
twenty seven through the Kenosha re-
cruiting station, one through Chicago
hospital, and four directly through
Washington. Every girls has placed
herself in readiness to be summoned by
the national government for service be-
fore April 1st and many will no doubt
enter service by September 1st.
Kenosha is the only town in the
state who has issued the fact for pub
LEGATION, that she has not only filed her
quota Of twenty-five recruits but, as
is her won't. has also gone over the
top.
Every girl who has enlisted is rs
proud of the fact as Is any man In
service and parents whose daughters
have joined this service are told to
put star in the service flag when
the daughter is called
An announcement which will greatly
relieve the anxiety Of several who have
enlisted in the Nurses Reserve comes
to us officially this morning. Under
new rules, women with husbands fight
ing in France will not only be admitted
into the service but are now eligible as
Army Nurses. Former restrictions re-
quired every married woman with a
husband IN service to enter the civilian
hospital and many who desired to ap-
ply for the Army Hospital Service
have been harboring acute disappoint-
ments because of this fact. Single wo-
men over thirty FIVE (formor age maxi
mum) are also eligible for this service.
According to Surgeon General Cor
gas, $4,000 nurses will be needed over
there by July 1st 1919 and because Of
this new announcement it is Just pos
| sible that the Kenosha girls who have
enlisted in the preferred class with
their preferences for Army Hospital
Service clearly stated, will, If
thoroughly qualified, see service in the
war zone within a year or even less
time. This new announcement has
created not little excitement among
the girls who have enlisted and many
are preparing for immediate service.
Mrs. Northway, Superintendent Of
the Kenosha Hospital and chairman
of the Kenosha drive for Student
Nurses has declared today that it j
not too late to enlist in the service.
Any girls who have been contemplate
ing enrolling in the Reserve are wei
come to do so and the sooner the ap-
Iplications are fled the quicker the en-
istee will see real service. Mrs. North
way can be reached at the Kenosha
Hospital at any time, phone At.

In closing her presentation address
Mrs. Leonard quoted this patriotic
poem:
"The flag that speaks of Bunker Hill,
OF minute men and guns;
OF Saratoga and Yorktown
Fierce battles fought and won.
"The flag that waved Ger Gettysburg,
On those eventful days.
The flag our Boys in Blue upheld
Mid battle storms always.
"The flag that Lincoln freed from stain
BY setting bondsmen free.
The flag that could a wrong forgive
Rebellion though 1t be.
1.-THE flag that drew rebellious men
Into the Union fold;
The flag that is respected now
In states both new and old.
"The flag that waves over our homes
Protecting weak and strong;
The flag that vindicates the right
And Furnishes the wrong.
"The flag we've raised across the sea
With stars forty eight:
Triumphant red and white and blue
The flag our fathers saved"
