TIE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
BY Herbert Quick
Member Federal Farm Loan Board

While Gerard was our ambassador
in Berlin, the Kaiser said to him one
day that he would stand no nonsense
from America after the war.
DO you know what that means? It
means that the Germans intend to
subjugate this country If they come
out of this war victorious.
The German Imperial government
has preached the superiority of Ger
many to all the rest of the world I'M
til the German nation Is drunk with
m~egalomania. One of their great
writer's expressed the prevailing. Of
fetal view in 1908. when he wrote:
"The Teutonic race is called upon
TO circle the earth with it's rule, to ex-
plot the treasures of nature and OF
human power, and to make the pas
sive races seryient elements in its
cultural development . Who
ever has the characteristics of the
Teutonic race is superior. All the
dark peoples are mentally inferior, be-
cause they belong to the passive
races. The cultural value of a ration
is measured by the quantity of Teu-
tonism it contains"
Are YOU one of the darker races?
Are you willing to be rated as one
of the "servient elements" in Ger
many's cultural development?
You began to be M of the "servi-
ent elements" when peaceful people
we're slaughtered as they carried your
produce to market, Was it because
you belonged to a passive race
This war is for the purpose of say
ing to that insane claim, with the
roar OF a hundred thousand
mo-"
Never since the Turks threatened
to overwhelm Europe was the world
in such danger as now. Germany
must be defeated this year. Unless
we win. our place in the world is
lost. and our history as one Of the
"seryient elements" begins. We must
withhold nothing from the support OF
the war. We must give our sons. We
must bring forth food in abundance.
We must give into the treasury of the
United States every eent we Ear
spare.
This summer the support of the war
is up to the farmers; and Uncle Sam
has never called upon the farmers in

The farms Of this country could
carry the war to a victorious con
elusion even if all the rest of the ma
tons should quit. The rest viii not
ouit but we could win it without
them it we had to do ii. The farmers
of the United States can whip Ger
many. We can whip them with guns.
We can whip them with our products.
We can whip them with III money.
Every farmer in the United States
must remember that the war has a
first mortgage on every cent he has.
The last spare cent in the pockets of
every farmer in America should be
devoted to the war.
The Kaiser began foreclosing his
mortgage on our farms when he de-
clared ruthless, submarine warfare.
The war is our answer to his bill of
foreclosure.
Our contribution is. first, III sons
and brothers for the trenches; sec
ond. the last pound of food products
which we can grow by mobilizing our
scanty labor supply, utilizing the men.
women and children and the towns
people about us; and third, money
for Liberty Bonds.
This is the crucial year of the war.
Our soldiers are at the front, hun
dreds of thousands of them in the
trenches, and a million more ready to
90. The whole burden of carrying on
our W part in the war, and of aid
ing our sister nations in arms. rests
on the United States Treasury.
If the treasury fails or falters or
finds itself unable to respond to every
call upon it, the war is lost. DO you
realize that?
Your son, and all the nations sons
are relying on the United States
Treasury, to furnish things with which
they may fight.
Their lives are lost if the treasury
fails. Our country is lost if the treas
ury fails.
Germany wins If the treasury fails.
Therefore every cent you a rake
and scrape together belongs to the
treasury. that our soldiers may come
back TO us alive and victorious. This
Is literally true. We can whip the
Germans with our money; but not
with the money in our pockets or
bank accounts. It must go into the
United States Treasury in subscrip-
tions to Liberty Bonds.

Electric Saw Mills.

Electrically operated saw mills of
the portable type are said to be rap
idly gaining in favor among lumber
men. In localities where water power
is abundant and has already been
partially converted into cheap cleo
trio power the portable sawmill is es-
pecially popular. According 20 the
president Of a firm which Is manufac-

demand is fast increasing in the

You would better buy all the lib
erty bonds you possibly can pay for
while they are obtainable. You may
not get another opportunity. There
may not be another liberty loan. The
time surely will come when you will
wish that you had more of these
bonds. If in the future you look back
and see where you might have bought
more than you did you will regret that
you let the chance slip by. There is
no better investment in the world and
they are worth making a sacrifice for.
This is the business side of the prop
osition. When to these advantages are
added the sense of patriotic duty it is
plain that no person should fail to in
vest every cent he can command in
the bonds of the fourth liberty loan.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS. nLrzABErH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: have a
brother who is only eighteen years
old. He is going with a very pretty
girl five years oldsr than himself. She
was popular before the boys were
called away. but now she has to de-
vote herself to young boys like my
brother.
I am very much worried because my
brother has fallen desperately in love
with this girl and know she only goes
with him to have a good time and
have him spend money on her. He
doesn't think of anything but the girl
and he is very silly and not himself.
What can do to make him realize his
mistake and go with girls his own age
or younger? A SISTER.
Let nature work out her own prob
lens. and do not worry about your
brother. Most boys of that age have
an undesirable love affair and they
all get over it. Probably one OF these
days the girl will go with some older
boy and then your poor brother will
have real heartaches, but they will not
hurt him permanently. Sympathize
with him and be careful not to con-
denim nor criticise the girl.

Germany is beaten and soon must
surrender Internationally. There.
should be no suggestion of immunity
from punishment in order to bring
about this action. Criminals know
that they will be punished If caught;
they know thatany pity which would
forbid their punishment is contrary to
the experience of humanity. They en-
ter upon their scheme of murder and
robbery with their eyes open, taking
the chance of death for the hope of
loot. Germany, says the Manufac-
turers' Record, is in exactly this stu
alton. Its people know that they are
murderers, highwaymen, robbers and
outragers who took the chance, hop
ing and fully expecting to bring home
the spoils. They entered joyously, hi
lariously upon the campaign. They
cared not how much suffering other
people had to endure; they cared not
how many millions they murdered.
All they were after was robbery, in
dividuai and national, and no crime
was great enough to shock them if it
brought them nearer to their goal of
! robbery and world dominion. Shall
they not be punished in order that civ
ilization may be preserved thru the
centuries to come?

A discontented wife has just sued
her husband for divorce on the ground
of incompatability of temper. the.
judge before whom the case was tried.
in denying the wonans petition, said
to her:
Nothing has been brought forward
to show that you have been called
upon to endure anything more than
the ordinary trials of married life. Go
homo and make the best OF your bar
nor perfect wives"
In these words of homely wisdom
may be found the whole OF the law
and the prophets of how to be happy
tho married. Would that they could
be emblazoned over the door of all
the Newlyweds. for they would do
more to temper the winds of domes-
ITCHY to the shorn lambs of romance
than anything else in the world.
Especially to the women. Men who
are used by their experience in BUSH
ness to lose and gain. to Giving and
taking, and to striking a pretty good
general average, and being satisfied
with that, accept the disiilusion of
matrimony with far better grace than
do women.
1t must be a shock to the young
husband when he discovers that the
roses on his Arabellas cheeks are

that there are times when her sweet
angelic disposition slips cog and

There is no such thing as a perfect
husband. And it's Gods mercy to
women there isn't, or else there would
even be less domestic happiness than
there is at present. For what would
a perfect man want with an imperfect
woman? And what would a poor
woman do If she were unlucky enough
to be united to a perfect husband?
