FARMERS ORGANIZATIONS
MAKE STRONG APPEAL FOR
LOANS SUCCESS.
Agriculture Feels that 1t is on Trial
in Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign
and Leaders Urge Subscription
from Every Tiiier Of the Soil.

Twenty-Five representatives Of the
organized farmers of the nation have
issued q s,Iorg appeal TO every far
mel n the country to make a record
subscription TO our Fourth Liberty
Loan worthy of the great foundation
on which the industry of agriculture
is reared.
Whoever may fall short of this
great enterprise" says the appeal"
so vitality necessary for winning the
war for democracy. let not the far
merS CT a single community fail to
respond in fullest measure to their
country's call.
"The grave danger we now face IS
that some of us may slacken our eff
forts, thinking there is no longer
urgent need because of the kaiser's
overture for peace. Not till the
enemy is back on his own soil and
has Internationally accepted the
terms laid down by President Wilson
and u allies can any loyal Ameri-
can abate his or her efforts.
"To let up for a minute would
give the enemy time to reorganlze
his forces and prolong the war. The
penalty we as a nation would pay
for such a mistake, should it serious
ly affect subscriptions to the Fourth
Liberty Loan, would be the unnec-
esSary loss of the lives of thousands
upon thousands more of u brave
boys.
Nothing will so convince the en-
envy of the futility of continuing the
struggle and prove that the Amerl
can Republic is united in its deter
mination to force the war to COM
plete victory as an Over-subscriptlon
of the Fourth Liberty Loan, the
greatest war loan in history. Moth
ing will so hearten our allies and dis
hearten the enemy.
"Let the farmer lead in this su-
preme work. Every one who con-
tributed to this Fourth Liberty Loan,
though it means a sacrifice till 1T
hurts, is helping to win this war.
The one who does this is helping to
destroy autocracy and enthrone
democracy, is doing his or her part
to make sure that the men and wo-
men and children who give up their
lives in this war for democracy shall
not have died in vain.
ct is in this spirit that we ask
every farmer who has already sub
scribed to the Fourth Liberty Loan
to double his subscription, or more.
We ask every farmer who has o
vet subscribed to subscribe as If
every dollar subscribed was directly
needed to save the life of his own
boy. For the boys in Khaki are u
boys serving US and preserving n
things which make life worth while
