THE FARM AND THE NATION
AgricuIturists Must Do Their Bit and

Every now and then, in driving
through the country, one sees a par

is in shape and everything indicates
prosperity. The farm is a success.
What is the secret of this? 1t is
that everybody on the place is a busy
man, helping himself and helping the
others. All work and all work togeth-

matter what attacks the crops, no
matter what the market, the business
prospers.
This country is engaged in a big
war. Now is the time for everybody
to work and work hard and help him.

A FORMER CRISIS
IN j. 5. HISTORY
URGES BOND SALE
During Civil War Need Was Great,
but Financial System Did
Not Equal Present.
BY William Chauneey Lanedon.

l.. L. Chittenden, Lincoln's Register
of the Treasury, tells in this Personal
Recollections of President Lincoln" Of
the anonymous Englishman who came
forward in 1862 to lend the United
States $5,000,0O0 and the herculean
efforts made to repay him.
British shipbuilders were construct
ing two. armored vessels for the Con
federacy. Our Minister. Charles Fran
els Adams, secured the issue of re-
straining order just in time, but it
could not be enforced until damages
had been secured by the deposit of
100000 sterling in gold coin, with
gold at 160! Where could he get It?
There was no transatlantic cable
then. when he had given up all hope
of arresting these vessels, a quiet
gentleman called upon him and asked
IL he might be favored with the oppor-
tunity of making the deposit of coin
required by the order" The only con-
dition was that his name should not
be made known.
In this war many Englishmen-and
others-whose names we do not know
have supplied us with money or its
value-with munitions, and men, and
safety. and immunity from German
attack.
To this, our blood thought benefit,
hundreds of thousands of anonymous
Englishmen ana Frenchmen and ltal-
ians and Belgians have contributed.
Shall we not repay them promptly
in kind by coming to their aid with
money and munitions and ships and
men. 10 the safety from German fury
of those who remain, or of their
widows and children?
This will cost! viii YOU help?
How much? How soon? Buy Lib

the freedom you have enjoyed thus
far, as well as contribute toward the
insuring of like freedom and, we
trust, of an even greater liberty for
all in the years to come!

PATRICK HENRY'S
FAMOUS ADDRESS
NOW APPLICABLE
Liberty or Death, Issue in War OF
Revolution, Is Issue in the
Great World War.

One hundred and forty-three years
ago in the Provincial Convention at
Richmond, Va, Patrick Henry, pa
triot to the last drop Of his hearts
blood, flung into the faces of his wa
vering fellow delegates his now world
famous call to arms.
Mr.. President" he cried, IF we
mean to preserve inviolate those in
estimable privileges for which we
have been so long contending; If we
mean not basely to abandon the noble
struggle in which we have been SO
long engaged and which we have
pledged ourselves never to abandon
until the glorious object of our con-
test shall be attained, we must fight!
Our brethren are already in the
field! Why stand we here idle? What
is 1t that gentlemen wish? What
peace so sweet as to be purchased at
the price of chains and slavery? For
bid it, Almighty God! / know not
what course others may take; but as
for me, give ME liberty or give me
DEATH"
There spoke patriot true. And he
won his fight. Liberty's struggle was
long and trying, but victory came at
last. And the shield of freedom, bla.
zoned upon the doOrways Of new
nation, has grown brighter and more
respondent with the passing of the
years. until it stands today an inspira-
ton for all the world.
Yet over yonder across the sea the
mailed fist of Prussian autocracy is
raised in menace. Its shadow is grow
ing smaller. but 1t is a shadow STILL
II has lost some of its power, but the
will to strike is yet there. And all
those "inestimable privileges" of
which Patrick Henry spoke are threat
ened and will continue so to be until
,Prussianism is crushed utterly.
Our brethren are already in the
field! Why stand We idle here?"
Think but a moment on stricken
France, on pillaged Belgium, on out
ragged Serbia, on every land upon
which the polluting hand of the Hun
has fallen. and fancy what our portion
will be il that same mailed fist is
loosed upon our shores.
Then loosen your purse strings. Buy
Liberty Bonds.
Patrick Henry was right. Death
would be UNNECESSARILY preferable.

WHAT WE CAN DO
Prominent Kentucky Educator Points
Out Duty Of American.
BY FRANK l.. McVEY,

President University OF Kentucky.
There are a number Of things that
we can do in this war. Some of us
can do all of them. Any of us can do
part of them. These things are:
1. To enlist.
\ 2. To go in the draft.
NJ 3. To work for the government.
4. To buy bonds.
3. To save food materials and
money by buying bonds.
Unless there are materials and food
the men who enlist. who go in the
draft. or who work for the government
cannot be maintained. The means by
which the government gets food and
materials and pays wages is through
the sale OF bonds. This is the key,
and when the government has the
funds II can go on with the war. II
II does not have them its efforts must
cease. The duty of the patriotic citi-
zen is apparent.

THE PINK AND YELLOW
CARD Fixes STATUS
P5oth Indicate slaokers, Though One
has Subscribed-But Not
Enough.

Two colors are going to figure prom
inently in this Third Liberty Loan
campaign, Yellow and Pink. Every
person who il financially able to buy
a bond and who refuses will have his
name recorded on the yellow card
the Stacker card.
In the last two campaigns for the
sale Of Liberty Bonds there were many
persons who slipped quietly into .heir
banks and made small purchase of
Liberty Bonds, when, as matter Of
ta1. by reason OF their financial abil.
|ty. they should have bought ten tines
as many bonds. Such individuals are
considered by the federal government
as slackers, just as much as are those
who can but will not buy any bonds
at all.
In order TO get a permanent record
OF persons of this character, the Fed
eral Reserve Director of Sales of iowa
has sent TO every county chairman a
supply OF pink cards. upon which the
1names will be recorded Of such per.
Fsons as do not do their full duty-who
do their bit" instead Of their ut.
most"
These pink cards will be carried by
= every Liberty Bond salesman, and
when an individual who ought to GUY
a $1,000 bond will only buy n $50 bond
down goes his name on the pink card
These cards will be handled the same
as the yellow cards--they will be re-.
viewed by the county chairman and
+. his executive committees. The mai.
vidual will then be given another on.
portunity TO increase his subscription
TO its proper amount. and, failing in
this. the cards will be forwarded TO
the Federal government for such &C.
ton as the Federal agents deem
proper.
Each state in each OF the Federal
Reserve Districts has similar plans,
and no man may be a Stacker without
the knowledge of Uncle Sam.

WHAT A BOND WILL BUY

When you subscribe to the next Lib
erty Loan you not only make a good
investment, but contribute in a direct
and practical way to feeding and
equipping the army or navy.
Here are few of the things even a
small investment in the bonds will &C
complish. They are taken from a list
prepared by the Treasury Depart.
ment, and there are many others:
One $50 bond will buy trench knives
for rifle company, or % hand gren-
AIDES, or IA rifle grenades, or 81 cases
of surgical instruments for enlisted
mems belts, or 10 cases of surgical
instruments for officers belts.
A 500 bond will clothe a soldier, OF
feed a soldier for eight months, or
purchase five rifles or 80 rifle gren.
AIDES, or AZ hand grenades. or 25
pounds of ether, or las hot-water bags.
or 1000 surgical needles.
A 500 and a $50 bond will clothe
and equip an infantry soldier for serv.
ice overseas, or feed soldier for
year
Two 500 bonds will purchase a
horse or mule for cavalry, artillery or
other service.
Three 800 bonds will clothe a sol.
der and feed him for one year in
France, or buy a motorcycle for ma
chine gun company.
-Four 500 bonds will buy an X-ray
outfit.
One $500 bond will supply bicycles
for the headquarters company of an
infantry regiment.

WHY FARMERS MUST BUY
eesIdes Being Patriotic, Their Invest.
ment Provides Nation With
Shipping Facilities.

Some farmers may not understand
just what is the significance Of ship
building to them. They fail to see
how they are to be benefited when the
money they lend the government by
purchasing Liberty Bends is spent for
hips that sail the seas they never
Nave seen.
Ships today are carrying our farm
products TO Europe. If there are no
ships the farmers goods never would
reach the market. II German U-boa s
were dynamiting freight car, instead
of ships the farmers crops would not
even reach the Chicago and Kansas
City markets. We must have ships TO
Iget our produce to market. Bonds will
help build them.
