FARMERS! THIS is
YOUR WAR. BUY
LIBERTY BONDS
Success of Teutonic Arms Spells
Despoliation for Ameri-
can Producers

Let us think for while how the
war concerns the farmer.
We went to war with Germany
partly because the rulers OF that
country refused to let us send TO-
Europe our ships laden with grain
and cotton, They sunk the ships and
cruelty murdered our sailors. Now
suppose we allowed them to stop all
our shipping, where would you be?
None Of your goods would be sold
In foreign countries, with the result
that you would get nothing like the
prices which you get today. This war
is being waged partly that you may
obtain fair prices for your goods.
What is going to happen If we
lose this war? Prices of farm pro-
duce will drop; the Germans will
impose taxation upon you which will
cripple you for the next twenty years,
Worse than that, If the Germans get
the same way as they have the farm
ers of France, Belgium and Italy. In
these sections farm houses have been
shot to pieces, crops wasted and
burned; even fruit trees chopped
down, the cattle stolen, the men sent
into slavery to work for German
masters, their women ill-treated in
ways that cannot be talked of in
print, their little children have had
their hands chopped off in order that
they may never fight or do any more
useful work again.
You may say such things will moi
happen here" They said this ii
France, in Belgium and in italy. Sucf
things will happen here just as sure
as you are alive, unless we smasl
the Germans so utterly that they ar;
unable to reach this country. TIL,
German fleet and the German arm.
will take just one week to get her
il we are beaten. They have mad,
up their minds that America shat
pay.
Is there farmer who will stan,
forward now and say, "This war doe
not concern me?"
| You have money that you do no
need at present. Loan it to the Go,
eminent at good interest; when yo
want the money back again, you ca
borrow on your bond, or sell it. Uncl
Sam will take care of your none
until you need it and pay you interes
on it.
Go and buy a Liberty Bond t,
morrow.
| Don't be a Stacker, and don't fot
yourself with the idea that you ar
too far away from the war for it t
hurt you. Remember 1914, when tn
Germans upset the worlds shippin,
and you took what you could get &c
your products.
Think of the twenty years starv
ton prices ahead of you, in case "
are beaten.
This is your war, and if you won

And the American people are in
great need Of the practical lesson In
thrift hich this great nation wide

Americans trifle away vast sums
of money every day in small dribs
for non-essentials. These small sums
should at once be saved and loaned
to the government for war-service.
This war stamp plan enables every
body, rich and poor, to help win the
war and to be paid for this help at
four per cent interest.

your children, to get in tune with
this great movement to help Uncle

INSURANCE FOR EVERY

ing every effort to have every mem
ber OF Americas fighting forces take
advantage of the government-insur-
ance plan which Secretary McAdoo
asserts to be "the most just hui
name provision ever made by any ma
ton for its soldiers and sailors"
The purpose is rapidly being
achieved the insurance having passed
the third billion mark in the total
of policies written, and there are
many military units in which every
member has taken insurance.
The automatic insurance provided
by the law is only partial and limited
protection, payable only to wife,
child, or widowed mother and ceases
after February 12, 1918. 1t is i'm.
portant. therefore, not only to the
soldiers and sailors of the country
but to their families and depend

which can go as high as
