FARMERS AT START OF
TWO VITAL CAMPAIGNS
TilIers Of the Soil Must Prepare for
Next Years Harvest and New
"Fighting Loan"

Farmers of the United States, whose
tifying the food lines of the allies has
been of such supreme Importance, are
now at the start of two vital canl-
paigns-preparing for the 1919 wheat
harvest and for the Fighting Loan"
The wheat harvest of 1919 will be the
Liberty Wheat Harvest and the gov
ernment has asked again for the CO.
operation and support of the wheat
producers to SOW 47,500,OO0 or more
acres of winter wheat this fall to
guarantee against possible partial crop
failure next year. Uncle Sam knows
from past performance that the Amer
lean farmer again will "come across"
ut the call. The United States grain
grower now realizes fully that he Is
the main line of defense In the allied
food army, and he is proud Of his po-
sition and of his achievements. With
out the essential food reserves there
will never be grand smash that will
overwhelm the destroyers OF the
worlds peace, but with the American
farmer holding the line, the food re-
serves will be on call, and the grand
smash will come As surely as the
American nation Is In the war.
Coincident with the beginning of the
campaign for the Liberty Wheat Har-
vest will be the Inauguration Of the
campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan
the Fighting Loan" Both Of these
campaigns are vitality important. Both
will be backed to the limit by the
farmer. Both will bear positive witness
to the enemy Of the solidarity and SIN
gleness Of purpose Of this country !;
both will heighten the morale Of the
allied peoples and give a conQuering
spirit of confidence to the allied
armies; and both will enable Uncle
Sam to throw the whole weight of his
mighty resources against the cracking
German line, so that the harvesting OF
the Liberty Wheat Crop may indeed
be a harvest Of freedom, the Hun
overthrown, justice and right triumph
ant, and the world at peace.

The Free Attractions

Among those of especial note were
the two addresses given by Hon. II. r.
Pattengill on Thursday, and the ad-
dresses giveh Friday by Editor Arthur
H. Vandenberg of the Grand Rapids
Herald and Frederick r. Fenton OF
Chicago, Federal Reserve Director of
Liberty Bond Sales for Michigan. The
Jackie Band from the Great Lakes
Naval Training Station favored with a
couple of excellent concerts on the
grounds Friday afternoon and evening.
The Boyne City Marine Band, in
spite of rain and cold favored with de-
lightful music both day and night dur
ing the three days.
Fireworks were shown on Thusday
and Friday nights, and those who saw
them say they were the finest ever ex-
hibited in this region. Owing to the
unclement weather only a compare
lively few people were on the grounds
in the evening.
The "Free Acts" secured by our
Fair Association were good, the Silver
tone Quartette being of more than
passing quality.

COUNTY FAIR
A SUCCESS
Exhibits Fine and Attendance
\ Remarkably Good In Spite OF
Weather Hindrance.

The Charlevoix County Fairs Annual
exhibit which closed Friday night was
a success from every viewpoint and
this in spite of one of the worst general
ram storms the Association has ever
bad to tackle.
Y And the success of the Fair this year
is due to the hearty support given it by
the people of Charlevoix County in
general as well as by the people OF our
adjoining counties. In both exhibits
and attendance they were more than
liberal and indicated the spirit of the
times-that of cooperation In every
enterprise.
The exhibits entered were excellent
and each and every department was
well filled. The cattle barn was par
ticularly well-filled this year with
choice blooded stock, which presented
a good appearance. Fruits and vege-
tables were also above the average ex-
hibit, those of apples being particularly
fine.
Educational Hall was filled to over
flowing with exhibits from our various
schools and excellent taste was shown
in a proper display. Those viewing
the exhibit could not help but be i'm
pressed at the enormous amount of
work necessary to prepare and place
such an exhibit, since the building Of
Educational Hall the public schools OF
Charlevoix County have come into
their own and the work in the many
departments has grown by leaps and
bounds.
Another exhibit of more than passing
Importance was that of the boys and
girls clubs showing vegetables and
canned products.
In addition to the many premium ex-
hibIts in Floral Hall, number of our
bN~eness houses had fine displays
among them being French C Redmon,
Homefurnishings Grinnell Bros. Music
House, Pianos; Reid-Graff Plumbing
Co., Furnaces; G. H. Wilmington,
Furniture; and Stroebel Bros, with a
display OF rosen rye.

WOMAN GREAT HELP IN
LIBERTY LOAN WORK
Has Become Integral Part in Sharing
Obligation Of Financing
the War.
Bv MISS GRACE DIXON,


Federal Reserve Director for Women
In Seventh District.
One of the great truths we have
learned in this war Is the need of men
and women working together under
standingly and sympathetically-ani-
mated by the same spirit of helpful
ness, Of fearlessness, Of enthusiasm,
facing definitely one goal with equal
honor, equal power. For men and
women working together with unanim-
ity Of purpose make the ideal service
for the nation. Taking Lincoln's great
words 1--WE all need to work together
to the end" that loyalty Of the people
by the people shall not perish from the
earth.
To write of the activities of the
women's work In the Seventh district
Is pleasure, as we have become such
an integral part In sharing the obli-
CATION Of financing the war. That the
work of the women and men might be
more effectively cO-ordlnated In the
district, the director for women has
been made q member of the campaign
committee as well as of the executive
committee of the federal reserve bank
ing committee. The state chairmen,
county chairmen and city chairmen
have been made members of the execu-
tive committees Of the mems organiZa-
ton In their respective states, counties
and cities.
The definite activities for women
shall be:
1. All women's organizations that
are listed strictly under women, such
as clubs, fraternal societies, lodges,
leagues, guilds, etc:
2. All elementary and high schools,
private and parochial schools.
3. All booths, such as street, hotel,
restaurant and cafeteria, department
store and theater booths.
4. Women shall cooperate with the
mems committee In churches, univer-
stiles, ward organizations and any 9TH
er committees where they can be OF
| service.
It was also recommended that no
| separate reports of the amount of sub
| scriptions taken be given by women,
| but that on account of the volunteer
subscription and allotment plans,
credit be given equally to both men
and women II is advisable for wom-
en- county chairmen to have a dis
| tinct and complete understanding
with the county chairmen Of the
mems organization of this fact, so
that no Misunderstanding will arise on
this subject during the campaign.
Where regular campaigns for solicit
ing subscriptions are made by both
men and women, a separate record
must, Of course, be kept and re-
ported,

women of America "That every woman
should tie her. child to the United

our workers. Through our various
churches, schools, clubs, we hope TO
reach every home In this country-for

THE WILL TO WIN.

The casualty lists are hitting the
rural communities as well as the cities
and bringing home the war In earnest.
Every casualty list should increase the
will to win, and strengthen the deter
mination to win regardless of cost. The
men are giving their lives on the fight
ing front, and the folks at home cannot
do less than exert every effort to In
crease the production of food crops and
to expend every dollar possible In buy
ing Liberty bonds.

FOREIGN SPEECH
Report on AUGMENTATION
Made to Governor, How
ever. Advises Thorough
Instruction in English.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Dec. 17.-(Special Tele-
gram)-Instruction in some foreign
language in private schools of Ne
braska where parents understand
little English, for the purpose OF
giving some of the children an OPP
portunitv to become sufficiently &C
quainted with the rudiments of that
language to receive religious III
structions in it." is recommended
in a report of the Americanization
committee submitted to the govern
or today.
The committee met September 10
and held an extended hearing. The
report was signed by Theobald
Kalajama, Ed. A. Coufal, +. w. c.
Jesse, Ray Nye, c. NJ, Gruenther,
John T. Williams and J. z. Miller.
Judge W. Y. Allen was sick and
did not sign. Neither did Judge
Sullivan.
Favor Use of English.
Among other recommendations
are:
That instruction in the English
language be given in all schools OF
the state, both public and private.
The report also said that no prl-
vate school which uses a foreign
language as a means of instruction
should be tolerated.
Another recommendation is that
the people of the state be allowed to
hold church worship i'll any language
necessary to their understanding. A
number of the defense councils over
the state have, in the past, prohibited
church worship in any language
other than the English.
Tolerance Should Be Used.
The committee recommends that
the English language be used in all
public meetings whenever possible,
and that its use be encouraged in
every way possible in the transaction
of business. 1t thinks, however,
that spirit of federation should
be exercised in cases where it is evil
dent that foreign language is be-
ing spoken on the street or in public
places only when one or the other
