The BLOOD CALL.

There is no finer sight in this old
world than perfect blood loyaltv-fam'

ted into one compact band to promote
and defend the interests of the whole.
The hour hes struck when this call is
ringing clear and loud above all others
in the ears Of the American people.

blood tie holds them firmly to the task

sacrifice is complete the blood
loyalty is perfect.
But is theirs to be the only demon
stration of the power of blood loyalty?
What power worthy the name, if he
has friend fighting his battles, will
not back him up and support him to the
limit of his power? Is the sacrifice to
be out of all proportion to the gratitude
Of the beneficiary?
These thousands, these hundreds Of
thousands, who have gone. are going,
and who are yet to go-fiesh of our
flesh and blood Of our blood-are APP
pealing to US through every affection
of the human heart for SUPPORT, for
SUSTENANCE. for CO Operation,
for POWER. These we must furnish
or their sacrifice will have been in vain.
But we Americans need to be told
that the very essence Of blood loyalty
is sacrifice. Not only professed will.

GEN. PERSHING'S TRIBUTE TO
AMERICAN FARMERS.

From his victorious army in France
Cen. Pershing sends greeting and
warm commentator to the farmers
of the United States for their contrl-
buttons to the fighting forces, for
their liberal purchases of war bonds,
and for their nrodigious increase in
crops the past two seasons. In let
ter to Assistant Secretary of Agri-
culture Vrooman the general whose
strategy and troops have definitely
turned the tide of battle thus voices
his praise:
good is vital necessity, and from
the day of our entry into the war
Americas army of food producers
have rendered invaluable service to
the allied cause by supporting the
soldiers at the front through their
devoted and splendidly successful work
IN the fields and burrows Mt home?
In the light Of this merited COM
mcndation the contemplate criticism
literally showered on farmers by n
number of the daily papers should re-
turn to shame their libelous sponsors
