THE FARM AND THE

The response Of the farming people
to the third liberty loan was crafty
ing. 1t was what We expected, as
soon as the question was put before
the farmers directly. / hope that the
Fourth Liberty Loan will be taken
still more freely by the rural people.
No greater war can be won these
days without the active cooperation of
all the people. We contribute by Civ
ing ourselves, our business, unfolding
the hands of the government, and loan
ing the government our money. This
money has been accumulated because
we have prospered, and because our
government has protected us. The
investment is the best and the spirit
that takes Liberty Bonds is the same
spirit that makes good crops. The
farmers crops have saved us.
We cannot think of losing this war.
We cannot run the risk of an agricul-
ture controlled by headstrong unmor-
al state, such as would be imposed on
us If Prussia were to succeed. Agri-
culture lies at the foundation Of our
system of democracy; its option must
count in our active policies; this
means that farmers must take such an
active part in the maintenance Of the
war that they'll have right to be
heard. They have taken this part
thus far, and ! know that they will be
steadfast to the end..-W. L. Bailey.

INDUSTRIAL AWAKENING

According TO Secretary Of Commerce
Redfeld, 10000 factories in the United
States have been turned over to war
work. A great many things that it
was once deemed impossible to secure
outside of Germany arelnow in whole
sale production in the United States.
Among these commodities are dyestuff
and our own factories have made such
progress that Germany will never
again be recognized in the industry.
All our optical glasses were imported
from Germany before the war Now
there are two plants in the United
States, and we are forever free Of de-
pendence from Germany for our lens
es and other fine glasses.

STOP THE KAISER's AID

A stiff drum fire has been directed
against buns, pool-room patriots and
drones generally. A tightening of
regulations, and a general appeal to
patriotism and responsibility have all
been evoked. 1t is certainly up to ev-
cry one of US to leave no pebble unturn
ed to crystalize public sentiment on
this question. Public sentiment beats
any law that can be made. Make them
go to work. Make them stay at work!
Make them do an honest days work!
And make them quit their grouching!
AS you read the paper these days
you do not hear anything about our
boys who are on the Crown Princes
trail, wailing about working hours,
wages or housing conditions. There
is pretty big lesson in this for all of
US.
We have big job on our hands, but
a stiff upper lip, a level head, and a
will to do on the part Of all, will put
US over.

to time are tried out" to be sure that
they are ready for their work,
The pigeons quickly become accus-
toned to shell fire, and they will carry
important messages through a heavy
artillery barage and through gas
clouds where no other method of COM
munication is practicable.
Pigeons were first employed by the
British army in October, 1914, when an
experimental shipment of so birds was
brought to France Their value was
Immediately recognized and the serv-
ice rapidly grew to enormous proper
lions.
Under present war conditions the
pigeons are most largely employed
for two purposes-to bring back in
formation from front line trenches and
during an advance to bring messages
from the advancing tanks and infantry
Generally speaking a 100-mile flight
is the outside limit for military purpo-
ses, even when messages are sent in
duplicate. For distances of 10 miles
single birds are relied on constantly,
and thcrea re very few failures.
In war mobile lofts must take the
place of stationary ones. These are
usually small automobile trucks, and
contain from 60 to 70 birds. An i'm
rortant feature of the trucks is good
lookout" cage on top SO that the birds
can easily learn the topography of the
neighborhood before being liberated
for their work.
In the battle Of the Somme in 1916
about 1850 operating messages were
brought in by carrier pigeons over a
period of three months.
Carrier pigeons are very successful
ly used in connection with air craft in
flight and for distances up to 20 or 80
miles in fine weather can be relied up
on to reach home with their message.
They arc released in such a manner
that they will first move with the wind
The airman throws the bird forcibly
downward and sideways in the direc-
ton the wind is blowing so that the
wind will assist it to clear the ma
chine. With seaplanes number of
cases have occurred where pilots in
distress have been rescued at the re-
suit of pigeon messages.
There are several cases on record
in which bird has successfully deliv-
cred his message Wien severely wound
ed. In the British army lofts the in
quisitive American soldiers have found
several birds still at work who bear
the marks of battle, including several
veterans VINO are flying regularly
though minus leg lost in action.
The British pigeon officers tell of
an historic pigeon known in the sery-
ice as the "V. C. bird" which arrived
torn end bleeding, and with he cvyl-
der containing his message actually
forced into his breast by the force Of
an exploding she'll This stout-heart-
ed flyer fell dead when his message
was delivered.

many other things on which their sue
cess and their health and happiness

the formers wife must know the un-
DERIVING principles as well, to enable
them to direct their work intelligently
and to adjust themselves to constantly
changing conditions.
Such knowledge and training ednnot
be given in the elementary schools
alone. Much of it can only be given in
high schools and colleges, and to boys
and girls of high school and college
age.
The place which farming holds in |
the affairs of the nation and the world |
and the value of their work have been |
revealed by the war. The importance
Of these will not be less when the war
is over. 1t is of the utmost Importance
that they be able to fill their platesand |
do their work intelligently and wen.
That they may be prepared for this,
the schools for the farmers children
IN small towns and villages and IN the
open country should be better support
ed and constantly improved and no boy
or girl should be kept out Of the ele-
mentary school or high school when
attendance is possible. In so far as the
draft laws and the absolute necessities
OF the home will permit, every country
boy and every country girl, should 60
to college, university or normal school.
There are before us as people just
two tasks now of supreme Importance:
To win the war for freedom and de-
mocracy, and, let us hope, for perma-
rent peace. and to fit ourselves and our
children for life and citizenship in
the new world which the war is bring
ing in. Both of these tasks must be
performed with singlenese Of purpose
and wholehearted devotion to the pub
licwelfare; and no sacrifice, however
great, must be allowed to stand In the
way of either.

CONVERTING THIRD
LIBERTY LOAN BONDS

The privilege of conversion Of the
a per cent Liberty Loan Bonds into
4 Ia per cent bonds expires on Novem-
Der 9, 1918.
Holders of per cent bonds should
not wait until the last moment to exer-
else the privilege of conversion, but
should proceed to do so promptly.
Delay will result in overburdening
the banks and the treasury department
by making it necessary to handle all
conversions at the last moment, which
might result in the loss of the privi-
lege of conversion altogether.
The banks are in possession offorms
of application for converion of these
bonds, and will attend to the details
of same. Respectfully,
V. L. PRICE.
General Director of Sales.

THE MAN WHO
DOES NOT BUY

One by one the men who have refus
ed and are refusing to buy Liberty
Bonds are being found out. The HAD
an easier time of it when the first TIVE
loan drives were under way. The coun.
try was not in such deadly earnest
about this war as it is now. We were
taking for granted that everyone who
could would be glad to buy a bond,
and Just as many as possible.
People did not look as closely for
the button on the coat and for the Lib
erty Loan flag in the window as they
are looking now. The man who walks
the streets now without some visible
sign and emblem that he is a bond
purchaser is followed by eyes that
grow angry as they watch him. The
house in neighborhood that is with
out bond flag in its windows is a
marked house. People stare at It GU
riously, They eye it resentfully.
The weight of public opinion is
striking at the individual who can buy
and doesn't. 1t is striking just as hard
at the man or woman of property who
buys little $50 bond when that sub
scription ought to be multiplied. For
the people know, the neighbors accu-
rately gauge, just about what each
of US is able to do.
The bond Stacker is a marked man
in any community. He is being rem
embered by his neighbors. Nor will
his sins against patriotism and loyal
ty be soon forgotten. The memories
of this war will live long time. It is
always so with wars and what comes
after them. He will be pointed out as
long as he lives. The memory Of his
failure, of his weakness and unwor
thiness will be held against his chill
dren.
There are some places where the
man who fails to buy is being ostra-
cised by his neighbors and his OLD
friends. If they know he is able to
buy, they ere not asking for his rea-
sons. Reasons are not asked. 1t is
sufficient that a man failed when his
time came, when the opportunity was
offered. The public opinion of this
fellow is leveled against him, it finds
him guilty and carries out its own
sentence.
With the whole nation working as
it never worked before to raise the
most gigantic war loan in all history.
the man who docs not buy is finding
it harder than ever to hide his short
comings. He is being found out and
in the vast majority of cases the pro-
per punishment is being applied by
those around him.

THE COUNTY SHOULD
MAINTAIN SCHOOLS AT
NORMAL EFFICIENCY

The letter of President Wilson to the
Secretary of the Interior in regard to
the maintenance of schools both in
work and in attendance during the
war has such ring to it that it is
hereby printed as written and delivered
July 81 last:
My Dear Mr.. Secretary:-I am pleas
ed to know that despite the unusual
burdens imposed upon our people by
the war they have maintained their
schools and other agencies of educa-
ton so nearly at their normal effcien-
cy. This should be continued through
out the war and that, insofar as the
draft law will permit, there should be
no falling off in attendance of elemen-
tary schools, high schools or colleges
is matter Of the very greatest import
ance, affecting both our strength in
war and our national welfare and eff
ficiency when the war is over. So long
as the war continues there will be con-
slant need of very large numbers of
men and women of the higher and
most thorough training for war service
in many lines. After the war there
will be urgent need not only for train
ed leadership in all lines of industrial,
social and civic life, but for very
high average of intelligence and prep
aration on the part of all the people. /
would therefore urge that the people
continue to give their generous sup
port to their schools of all grades, and
that the schools adjust themselves as
wisely as possible to the new condi-
tons to the end that no boy or girl
shall have less opportunity for educa-
ton because Of the war, and that the
nation may be strengthened as it can
only be through the right education Of
all its people
Cordially and sincerely yours.
WOODROW WILSON.
In letter addressed to the men and
women on the farms Of America p. P.
Claxton, commissioner Of education.
says:
For no art of our people is this more
important than for those who live in
villages, small towns and in the open
country, mostly farmers. Whatever
may have been true in former days it
has now come about that for success in
heir work and for good living on the
farm and in the farm home, farmers
and their wives need a broader, more
comprehensive, and more thorough ed
leation than do men and women en-
gaged in any other occupation and liv-
ng under any other conditions. They
heed not only the general information
md training for life and citizenship
which they should have in common
With all men and women. but they
reed also training in science and
knowledge Of physics and chemistry,
II soils and fertilizers, Of plants and
animals and their diseases, and how to
protect against them, of the cultiva-
1on and harvesting of crops, of mar
