WILL BACK UP THE
BOYS At THE FRONT
Written for the Liberty Loan OrsanI-

BY MILDRED s. McFADEN.
We are backing up the boys at the
front,
Our soldier boys, the flower of our
youth,
Who answered Freedoms call
And are gladly giving all
For liberty, for justice and for truth.
We are working for our heroes at the
front,
Who nobly bear the brunt of shot
and shell.
For, backed by love untold,
And bullets made of gold.
They will. rescue all the world from
German He'll
We are backing up our sailors on
the sea,
So gallantly a-standing by their guns.
Mid perils of the deep
Where deadly U-boats creep
To do the baneful bidding of the Huas!
We are backing up our birdmen at
the front,
Whose dauntless souls no sense OF
fear can know.
Patrolmen of the sky,
Ger hostile lines they fly
To guard the guns on firing line"
below.
We are backing up our service at
the front,
Where toll OF pain doth mark each
victory won,
That nurse with Cross of Red
May hover Ger each bed
To soothe and comfort every mothers
son.
We are backing up our colors at the
front,
Old Glory shall never brook disgrace.
lift ii high and Hgher,
That its message may inspire
A spirit of world-freedom for the race.
To back our allied forces at ths front
Is the urge of our Liberty Loan
campaigns.
Each Liberty Bond we hold
Is a handicap OF gold
To bind the Beast forevermore IN
chains.
Bring your tithes into my store

Make every boarded dollar do its
share;
With patriotic thrill
And zeal OF Bunker Hill
Roll up millions for the boys over

The PINK AND YELLOW
CARD FIXES STATUS
Both Indicate SIackers, Though One
has Subscribed-But Not
Enough.

Two colors are going to figure prom
inently in this Third Liberty Loan
campaign, Yellow and Pink. Every
person who is financially able to buy
bond and who refuses will have his
name recorded on the yellow card
the Stacker card
! In the last two campaigns for the
sale of Libertv Bonds there were many
persons who slipped quietly into their
banks and made small purchase OF
Liberty Bonds, when, as a matter OF
fact, by reason of their financial abil-
ity. they should have bought ten times
as many bonds. Such individuals are
considered by the federal government
as slackers, just as much as are those
who can but will not buy any bonds
at ALL
| In order TO get a permanent record
OF persons of this character. the Fed
eral Reserve Director OF Sales OF Iowa
has sent 10 every county chairman a
supply OF pink cards. upon which the
names will be recorded OF such per-
sons as do not do their full duty-who
do their bit" instead of their ut
most"
These pink cards will be carried by
every Liberty Bond salesman. and
when an individual who ought TO ouy
a $1,000 bond will only buy $50 bond
down goes his name on the pink card.
These cards will be handled the same
as the yellow cards--they will be re-
viewed by the county chairman and
his executive committees. The indi-
vidual will then be given another op-
portunity TO increase his subscription
TO its proper amount, and. failing in
this. the cards will be forwarded to
the Federal government for such &C.
tion as the Federal agents deem
proper
Each state in each OF the Federal
Reserve Districts has similar plans.

SEED CORN FOR
INDIANA FARMERS
State Council of Defense Has
Arranged to Supply Best
Quality Available.
EARLY PLANTING is ADVISED
Emergency Supply to be Provided and
Drawn on Should Repianting
be Found Necessary.

Full realization Of the Importance
Of n bumper corn crop to the pros
perity of the state and its ability to
contribute its share to the winning of
the war, was manifest at the meeting
of the Indiana State Council of De-
Tense, when a resolution urging farm
ers to test their seed and have their
planting finished by May %, was
adopted, unanimously.
The Indiana State Council through
its committee on food production Will
endeavor, through the county councils
TO supply the best seed available, at
reasonable prices. 1t proposes, further,
to assist growers in securing tested
seed in time to insure its cultivation
and maturity before early frosts. The
remembrance of the frosts Of 1917,
which destroyed perhaps $4,000, 900
bushels OF corn in southern Indiana
alone, is still fresh in the memory of
those charged with directing the
states war program, and they will
seek to guard against a repetition of
this costly experience.
After Ernest Thornburg, president
Os the Indiana Corn Growers Associa
ton, had called the attention of the
council to the results Of demonstra-
tions, which he said, have shown in
a clear way that early planted corn
gives the largest yields and stands the
best chance of maturing in the fall"
the council agreed that no more i'm
portant recommendation could ge out
to the farmers from the state govern
ment than that they plan to have their
corn in by May 25. Pian4iAg began in
many sections of the stxl8 April 25,
Mr.. Thornburg said. He also stated
that late planted corn always runs the
risk of being caught by early frosts
and delay in planting also necessitates
the use of smaller varieties which do
not yield as we'll as the ones suited
to the community and which occupy
the larger part of the growing season.
Indiana farmers are urged by the
state council TO plan their corn plant
ing carefully and where possible to
cooperate with each other both as TO
labor and seed
The efforts of the food production
committee have resulted in securing q
supply of seed from Missouri, which
Prof. I. A. Coleman says was taken
frem Indiana to Missouri two years
ago and is native D this climate. This
corn will be used generally in the
