THE FARMER AND
THE WORLD WAR
By Henry J. Waters

(Mr. Waters. an agricultural authority.

tor Of sSs Kansas Sss Cit, sn8 wsskly ssaH. wa.
In Europe when the World War beEan.)
No class Of men in this country
should be more interested In the sue
cess Of the war than the farmers.
The spirit Of the farmer is and al
ways has been the essence Of dsmoc-
racy. and this war is being fought.
as the President has so fittingly
stated, to make the world safe for
democracy. No undemocrstic civilt-
zation has ever given the farmer .
square deal. A world unsafe for
democracy IL . world unsafe for the
farmer.
With his interests thus at stake, the
farmer may we'll invest. to the limit
of his financial ability. in the Lib
erty Bonds which the government is
sues to help insure success in this
great struggle. 1t is true that he IL
making his land produce its full meas.
ure Of crops. as . service to tho M.
ton. 1t is true that he has given and
is giving his sons to fight in the great
cause. But thsse alone are not
enough. II every man would do his
best in whatever industry he is On.
gagged in, or even II every man could
enlist for actual combatant service,
there would still be the need for
money. The example of Russia shows
the hopelessness Of carrying on war
without money. The citizens of the
United States-zu the citizens-must
get back Of the United States with
every financial resource they possess.
Aside from the. fact that they rep
resent patriotic asrvice, Liberty Bonds
are the surest Investment In the
world. The credit of the United
States-bettsr and greater than the
credit Of any Other enterprise on earth
guarantees the interest on these
bonds and guarantees the payment OF
the principal upon maturity. They
are the one Investment that drouth.

other contingency can in no wise A.

The farmers have at all times been
wise investors: they have also been
loyal, wholeh earted patriots. Be-
cause Of these, facts the country IL
counting on the farmer I am conf
Gent 1t Is not counting in vain.
