 A Horde of Huns at Your Door.
 You know what they would do to you and your women-a fate far worse than death. You know how Huns have laid bare the countryside they have conquered-no animal or plant al- lowed to survive. even trees and vines cut off close to the ground. Rural homes demolished, barns burned
 You know how the Boches enslave the farmers of Belgium, Poland, the Ukraine. Words cannot depict the horror of 1t.
 To prevent the same thing happen ing right here to you and your fam fly, to your own community, state and nation-that is what our boys are fighting for lover there"
 It is a question of right over might, Shall liberty be destroyed by slavery? This Is the question the war is to an- swer for you and me and for genera tions yet unborn.
 This final struggle for the survival of the fittest among humans demands every ounce of our energy, every cent of our money. Noble men and wom- en are patrioticaily devoting some or all of their time, without money and without price, to help Uncle Sam win victory. Others are giving produce or money to the good cause. Millions of our healthiest young men, the very seed of the race, are sacrificing their lives that you and I and others may live in peace.
 The very least that each of us can do now is to lend our money to Uncle sam SO that he will have the funds with which to fight. The war is cost ing billions. The only way the gov ernment can get the money is to bor- row if from the people or tax it out of them. The more the public lends to the government, the less taxes it will have to pay.
 You can help in this crisis by sub scribing to the fourth Liberty loan. These government bonds are the safest investment on earth. They are abso- lutely good They yield good interest. You can get your interest money twice a year If you have to use your prin- cipal, you can sell your bond any min ute, or you can use it as security at the bank to borrow for temporary wants The latter Is the better way, because it doesn't help the government any for you to sell your bond or for somebody else to buy your bond Get your bond direct from the government; then your money goes direct to the government and will be used by it to pay the wages of soldiers and sailors and to furnish the ships and munitions with which they shall win the vic tory.

Jamie, We Salute Youl

A good man and true Is Jamie Bliss, age five years, who lives with mamma and papa on farm near Eau Claire, Wis. Jamie had heard all the discus sion about Liberty bonds and Thrift stamps. and, not yet being established in business for himself, was puzzled little to know how such little boy could have q part in this great un- dertaking. At the same time he learn ed how sorely our fighting men need wool and the great idea came to him. Without consulting anyone, Jamie started about the farm harvesting from hedges and wire fences the little wisps of wool left there as his fathers sheep pastured. As a result of his expedition Jamie came into the house with his pockets and inside of his waist bulgng with wool. Mamma Bliss was somewhat astonished when he explained that he was gathering wool to sell so he could buy Thrift stamps, but being wise mother, she saw the point q1ickly.
 Since then Honorable Jamie. wool gatherer to Uncle Sam, makes daily ex- cursions into the sheep pasture. Al ready his wool has purchased two $5 War Savings stamps and good start toward another one. This folks, is something which was not taught out of book, but 1t is sample of the patriotic citizenship now growing up, ready to stand at the helm few decades hence.

Becoming . 5ondhoider.

Among my friends for years Is a hard-working farmer with wife and several children. He never seemed to quite "get there" Though he work ed hard, he just lacked the knack of getting bit ahead. During the past year he seemed to have prospered When I saw him last week he said :
 "It's this way: subscribed t6o for Liberty bond last year and simply had to pay for 1t. l did so by paying in every dollar could spare, instead of spending money for things we could just as we'll do without. It Is curious how one accumu- lates if they go at 1t that way.
 "I see now that one reason why never saved any money was because didn't have anything like this to take my cash a little at time. used to think that l would begin saving when I had my bills paid and S25 to the good, buJ have discovered at this late date that the way to do 1t Is to save a little at time and put it by as you get 1t. l have been surprised to find that the same Is true of so many other farmers, especially renters. What they have put into the Liberty bond Is money that would have slipped through their fingers. They would have nothing to show for 1t, whereas now they have got bond earning good interest. while their money Is helping tc lick the kaiser. My first bond is now paid in full and am beginning to save up my subscription to the fourth Liberty bond"
 This reminds me of still another case where the boys and girls have earned and saved along with their parents until their subscription for each of the three Liberty loans are now paid up They did not see how they could raise the money for their first subscription. but their second was double that, and the third was still larger. The oldest boy was taken by the draft. which made the family all the more determined The mother is saving her egg money. each of the children has a bit of garden from which they are selling stuff. one of the girls is member of the pig club, and the oldest boy still at home has quarter of an acre of onions that promises splendid crop.
