Put Money Into the Land.

Occasionally when driving through
the country some attractive farm will
be passed. Everything is in good
shape; there are windmills, there is a
silo; the fences are up and the land
in excellent filth. What is the secret
Of this? The answer always is: ''That
farmer has put money in his place."
America is great farming nation,
as well as great manufacturing ma.
ton. 1t is wonderfully prosperous to-
day. There are railways, bridges, fac
tories, mills, workshops and school.
houses. All this shows we have put
money into it. But there is today the
shadow Of war hanging over the en-
tire land. The nation is in peril.
Now is the time of all times when
money must be put into this land of
the free and the home of the brave
if it is to remain prosperous and hap
py. The purchase of Liberty bonds
puts your money where it will do the
most good in this grave crisis.

BE a Bond Salesman for Uncle San

When you have bought your bond,
don't stop. Become bond salesman
for your government and see to ii
that your neighbor buys bond. Elk,
plain to him that you and he have to
do this, as the soldier at the front has
to fight.
Russia failed to support its army
and it's army failed to fight for Rus.
STA, aud today Germany is taking over
thousands of square miles Of rich
farming and mineral lands, title to
which is held by Russians who will
have their deeds considered mere
scraps Of paper by their conquerors.
Buy bonds from your government and
sell them for 1t. Make the United
States a success instead Of a failure,
like Russia.

Farmer, Hired Man and Liberty Loan

Intelligent farmers know that q
hired man does better work if he is
beautifully fed, pleasantly housed and
warmly clad. Uncle Sam today has
abroad close to 100000 hired men,
engaged in the most toilsome and haz.
ardous work. They cannot be fed,
clothed and housed unless money is
provided. The purchase of Liberty
bonds provides the government with
funds to finance this gigantic task.
The men in the trenches must be cared
for by the men at home. Give the
boys the best we can afford. They
deserve it ali.

SAYS HIT THE HUN
BY BUYING BONDS
Major General Barry Says Aid Liberty
Loan to Avert Indemnity
Fund.
BY MAI. GEN. THOMAS n. BARRY,
Former Commandment at Camp Grant,
Rockford, IlI1

Former Commandment at Camp Grant,
Rockford, ILL.,
Four years ago the German govern
ment started war, which evidence
makes certain had for it's object the
domination of the world, the crushing
Of democracy and the establishment of
autocracy in it's stead.
Evidence of this far-reaching plot
appeared as the war was prosecuted
by the Germans with such 1awless
cruelty, that in an effort to parallel
their inhuman savagery shocked
world has revived the medieval word
"Hun."
The government of the United States
observed neutrality until their SOW
ereign rights were openly and contemp-
tuously invaded. They were then
called upon to decide whether to sur
render their rights and their liberty
or to engage in war. Rightly they de-
cided to engage in war. That war is
now in progress and it will be won by
"hitting the Hun"
To hit the Hun, soldiers must go to
the firing line in Europe, but that costs
money, and if we are to shit the Hun"
from the firing line at the front there
must be no faltering in the fund line
at the rear.
To prosecute the war successfully
larger sums of money are needed by
the government than it ever has need
od hofnpo h0ro rooH on ocfiYno to
that it costs a thousand dollars to
shoot Hun.
To provide the stupendous total the
government asks it's citizens for a tenn
pOrary loan of the cash they have to
invest. AS security, it gives it's prom
Use to repay the full amount with
good rate of interest. The promise to
repay the amount borrowed constitutes
the Liberty bonds. They are offered
in denominations to suit all purses,
and whoever subscribes to a Liberty
bond is helping to chit the Hun"
A time will come when so many have
been hit that just one more will con-
stitute his defeat, the collapse of his
government and the triumph of liberty.
But the war will not be won until
some one has hit this last Hun.
So beg every American who has in
his heart love for the liberty he en-
joys and cash to invest to purchase
Liberty bonds, and urge every social
club or society, every school, factory,
department store, boy scout company
and other organizations and indiyid-
uals to form Hitting the Hun clubs"
and purchase Liberty bonds enough to
take shot at Hun.
1t will give strength to the firing
line to observe strength in the fund
line, and some one will have the honor
Of subscribing the fund that hits the
last Hun and the war will be won.
IF we do not subscribe now to the
Liberty bonds, to win the war, we will
be compelled to subscribe later to an
indemnity fund for losing the war.

Bonds Are Police Protection.

Everyone knows the value of po-
ice protection. The purchase of Lib
erty bonds provides the government
with money to build ships to police
the high seas and guard Americas
commerce.

FANNING TIE FLAMES,

One effect that tho defenders and

culated upon has resulted from the

lation is composed We are in the

console Ourselves with the assurance
that the end of the war will find
these elements fused together in a
degree never before thought pos
sible, Not the least Of these COM

devotion to their adopted country Of
Americans OF German birth,
One of these men. native OF

INSULT TO woMaNuoop.

The most nonsensical OF the offi-
cIal orders issued since the war be-
gan js the one credited by Wash
ington dispatches 10 the war de
partment in which the government
undertakes TO assume guardianship ip
over the morals OF soldiers wives,
and In its execution proposes 10
withhold from those who may be
suspected OF wandering along the
primrose path their proportion OF
the soldier husbands pay. We hcsi-
tate to believe the government has
gone to this extreme. for 1t is con-
trary to every sense Of Justice and
all conception OF American chivalry
such an order Is a license TO scan
dal mongers in every community
and places tho wives ~ soldiers un
der an espionage that Is an insult "a
womanhood. II presupposes that
the wife OF every soldier in service
is Hester, and would drive her
into the cloisters to avoid suspicious
eyes ever looking for the scarlet
mark OF shame
our country, is too big and bronf
ana just to give countenlnce TO an
order Of this character Th" patriot
women have willingly and checrfuuy
sent their husbands 10 answer the
nations call. and they have right
TO demand that In the eyes of the
government their virtue shall be
above reproach.
Because the women affected by
this order. II, indeed the order has
actually been made, are young, fun
Of the love Of lifc and ils HmuHc-
monts. Is not sufficient excuse to
subject them 10 suspicious eyes II
they should be seen I'm tho ball room.
In u motor car, or stroling along the
streets In company with some friend
Of the other sex.
IL is an imputation worthy OF the
days OF Balzac when womon'B virtue
was held lightly, and In effect
chnrgeR the wives Of soldiers with an
Inherent desire to transgress the
flaws Of morality the moment their
hubands turn their hacks. The
charge that our soldiers on landing
In France engaged In riotous dissipa
tlon has been disproven, and It is
equally untrue that separation by
wives to become triflqs
The soldier husbands have not
asked the government to enforce
such guardianship. and until they
do we shall protest against the
odium 1t casts upon the loyal wom-
nnhood Of America.
