THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
BY Herbert Quick
Member Federal Farm Loan Board

The farms OF this country could
carry the war to a victorious con.
elusion even il all the rest Of the ma.
tons should quit The rest will NOT
quit; but we could win ii without
them it we had to do it. The farmers
OF the United States can whip Ger
many. We can whip them with GINS.
We can whip them with our products.
We can whip them with or money.
Every farmer in the United states
must remember that the war has a
first mortgage on every cent he mas.
The last spare cent in the pockets Of
every farmer in America should be
devoted TO the war.
The Kaiser began foreclosing his
mortgage on our farms when he de-
clared ruthless submarine warfare.
The war is our answer TO his bill Of
foreclosure.
Our contribution is, first our sons
and brothers for the trenches: sec
ond. the last pound of food products
which we can grow by mobilizing our.
seanty labor supply, utilizing the men
women and children and the towns
people about us and third money
for Liberty Bonds
This is the crucial year OF the war.
Our soldiers are at the front. hun
dreds of thousands of them in the
trenches, and million more ready to
go. The whole burden of carrying on
our own part in the war, and of aid
ing our sister nations in arms, rests
on the United States Treasury.
II the treasury fails or falters or
finds itself unable to respond to every
call upon it, the war is lost Do you
realize that?
Your son, and all the nations sons
are relying on the United States
Treasury to furnish things with which
they may fight,
Their lives are lost if the treasury
fails. Our country is lost if the treas
ggy fails
Germany wins if the treasury fails.
Therefore every cent you can rake
and scrape together belongs to the
treasury, that our soldiers may come
back to us alive and victorious. This
is literally true. We can whip the
Germans with our money; but not
with the money in our pockets or
bank accounts. 1t must go into the
United States Treasury in subscrip.
items to Liberty Bonds.

I'll the German nation is drunk with

Are you one of the darks: races?
Are you willing to be rated as one

You began to be one OF the "serv;.

Never since the Turks threatened
to oTerwhem Europe was the world
i'll such danger as now. Germany
must be defeated this year. Unless
we win, our place in the world is
lost, and our history as one of the
'servient elements" begins. We must
withhold nothing from the support OF
the war We must give our sons. We
must bring forth food in abundance.
We must give into the treasury of the
United States every cent we can
spare.
This summer the support of the war
is up to the farmers; and Uncle Sam
has never called upon the farmers in
vain,

Chaut0uqua Features.

Chautaupua will open in Charles
Town, Wednesday, September 4, and
will continue one week. The tent will
be located on the Goetz lot. We have
space to refer especially to four of the
program features.
There's DIR. Carolyn E. Geisel. It's
enough to say she is returned at al
most universal request. 1t should be
unnecessary to say more.
Then there's 'The Fortune Hunter"
College players. They played Twelfth
Night" on Chautauqua year before
last and "The Man From Home" last
year. If we told you "The Fortune
Hunter" will be better than either of
these we fear you would doubt our
word. We only ask you to see for
yourself.
Then, too, theirs "Pinafore.'. Yes,
another opera. You remember the
"Mikado" and the "Chimes of Nor
mandy" "Pinafore" is the equal of
either of them. 1t is one of the most
familiar and popular operas.
Finally, there's Captain Leslie Wick
ers, of the Royal Scotch Fusiliers.
Captain Vickers was in the war at the
beginning and is now kept out because
at the great battle of Loos he was
wounded, and now carries the bullet
so dangerously near the brain that the
best specialists dare not operate. The
soldier boys and military men in COM
mand know Captain Vickers best be-
cause of his book Training in The
Trenches" 1t may be found as a
reference book in all of the camp
libaries.
