UNCLE SAM FIGHTING TO WIN, WAR FOR WORLDS LIBERTY 5
 AND FREEDOM.
FARMERS OWE DUTY TO U. s,
Liberty Loan Bonds Are Safest Invests Tent and Are a Guarantee for Continued Prosperity for
 the Entire Country.


 Bond is blow at the greatest inter- ] national criminal in history. Every dollar that goes to purchase Liberty Bond is a protest against the sreedys unscrupulots. soulless power bent upon enslaving the world. One hunf dred dollars invested in Liberty Bonds brings victory nearer to Amer! lea and the Allies and saves the lives of American soldiers battling ion home and country.
 Farmers especially should realize that Uncle Sam is fighting not only 10 win the war for tho Allies but for America. No American citizen should imagine that the United States is in this war for the Allies alone. A ytc7 tory for Germany would mean slavery for Americans as we'll as the remain5 der of thu world
 Wake up, freemen of America. and help your government to destroy the ruthless power that has plunged more than half of the world into the blood lest, most horrible war in history Farmers now obtain high prices for their products, but if the Kaiser wins the war there will be no $2 wheat or corn, and hog and cattle raising will become unprofitable, because the mar kets of the world will be closed ta America
 ULeie Sam has been good to &, ; .tarihcrs. Tnvy have 1ivsd in peaS8s and their homes have been secure and the Federal Loan Bureau has provided cheap money with which they could pursue the arts of peace.
 Farmers in the last few years have been 50 well paid for their produce that they now are lon their feet" or more nearly so than ever before
 Any economy they can practice now will give them additional money with which to lend financial aid to the gov. srnment in its great battle for right and fair dealing.
 Uncle Sam is not asking you to do. nate one cent, but he is pleading that yoll lend him your money to help make the world safe for democracy. He offers you Liberty RoAd with . high rate of interest. A Liberty Bond Is the safest investment in the world
 When farmer buys Liberty Bond he not only helps to finance the war, but he becomes lifesayer for Amer lean boys fighting the most heartless, cruel, relentless foe that civilization ever has been called upon to face.
 Last year the great cry was cor servation. This year it Is thrift. The nation last year was urged to con- serve the natural resources and the products of the farIAs and fields and factories. Greater crops were plead pd for, and canning clubs and city gardens were urged.
 This year the country is being taught the lesson of spending It's money wisely. The government is showing the farmer as well as every other citizen the importance of put ting every dollar where 1t will do the most good.
 The fact that the farmer is being told this year to be thrifty does not HASNN 4O Ae 1OI lO piAAI oVVky available and till his crops carefully and harvest them when they are ready for the reaper.
 But 1t means he is to Invest wisely the money he gets for the splendid crops he has demonstrated he Is able to raise.
 Conservation and thrift go hand in hand. The farmer, as a rule, can find something for which to spend almost every dollar he receives. There al- ways Is something to buy. Machinery Is needed. notes must be met. fer tilizer purchased. harness, clothing, oil and groceries paid for.
 With the high prices he will receive Tor his products he will have money left after he has met his expenses.
 The patriotic citizen will invest this surplus in Liberty Bonds, the safest investment in the world. and one that will not only bring In fair return but will help to make America a safe place to live in years to come.
 Every dollar loaned to the govern ment serves to shorten the war and hrip0 nooro fO fha Wor1d
