fuse advertising last week from a
few of our business men on account
of space being all taken ahead
Some unexpected advertising COM
ing in late crowded our columns
and it was too late to enlarge the
size of the paper and get out on
time. The high price of print paper
makes the publisher figure pretty
close these days; however. we want
to accommodate our merchants and

Military Morals.

One of the uses of the proceeds of
the Liberty Loan that will appeal
strongly to the great mass of
American people is the care and at
tention given to the moral welfare
and protection of the American
soldiers
Heretofore with the American
Army and even now with some of
the armies of our allies the moral
welfare of the soldier was and is a
matter largely ignored. In the Ger
man armies provision is even made
for immortality.
1t is to the glory of American
arms and American national
character that of the men who wear
the United States uniform a high
standard of conduct is expected and
demanded, and provided for Kip

Return FIOurtO Dealers.

individual consumers are being dis
tribured through the efforts of
county food administrators of the
state %ho are inducing those with
more wheat -four than their i'm
mediate needs demand to release it
for the use of others
Many consumers in rural districts
have been in the habit of putting
in years supply of -four with no
intention of boarding But the
wheat supply is scarce now. And
as this country must export 100
million bushels of wheat to the Al
lies to prevent a breakdown in their
morale because of a scarcity of
bread. the Food Administration is
asking that these large supplies be
put on the market.
Dr.. j. Scott Wolff, administrators
for Jefferson County, reports that a
baker in his county who had sold
large quantities of -four took back
what he had sold, buying the neces-
substitutes TO use with it, A St.
Louis grocery house which had sold
several thousand pounds of -four in
Jefferson County took back this ex-
cessive sale under the supervision
of Mr.. VOLTS deputy. Another
concern in the county took back
2,100 pounds of -four.
George Schreiner. administrator
for Barton County, has been hold
ing meetings in various parts of his
county, explaining the .wheat stu
alton to the people and asking their
cooperation. Many in his audience
have reported they have more -four
on hand than they need and have
declared they would release part Of
it. Mr.. Schreiner recently brought
about the return to the dealer of L.
400 pounds of -four.
George T. Mullinax of Mercer
County recently reported three cases
of returns of flour: eleven 48. pound
bags by two brothers and four 49,
pound bags each by two other men.
Fourteen sacks of -four by one
consumer and six by another were
returned last week in Caldwell
County, where D N. McClintock is
the administrator.
In Fulton, E. L, Koontz has re-
ported the return of 1000 pounds
of -four by one man.
7. L. Montgomery of Clark County
recently induced one man to return
10 sacks of -four and 200 pounds of
sugar and another 4 sacks of -four
and 1913 pounds of sugar.
Three barrels of -four have been
taken back to the dealer by one
man in Ste. Genevieve County. one
barrel by another and $50 pounds
by another. William c. Boverie. is
administrators in this county.
Newlan Conkling at Carrollton
has had excellent success, he re-
ports, in having flour returned.
At Hannibal W. j. Meyer recent
tly compelled a wholesaler in his
county to refund S66 which was an
overcharge in a sale to a baker.

The patriotic citizen will invest

Every dollar loaned to the govern

There are $4,000 retailers of

thirty years he has never been as

Farmers Duty to U. 5.

Bond is blow at the greatest inter
national criminal in history. Every
dollar that goes to purchase a
Liberty Bond is protest against
the greedy, unscrupulous, soulless
power bent upon enslaving the
world. One hundred dollars invest
ed in Liberty Bonds brings victory
nearer to America and the Allies
aud saves the lives of American
soldiers battling for home and
country
- Farmers especially should realize
that Uncle Sam is fighting not only
to win the war for the Allies but for
America. No American citizen
should imagine that the United
States is in this war for the Allies
alone A victory for Germany
would mean slavery for Americans
as we'll as the remainder of the
world.
} Wake up, freemen of America,
and help your government to destroy
} the ruthless power that has plunged
more than half of the world into
the bloodiest, most horrible war in
! history. Farmers now obtain high
prices for their products, but if the
Kaiser wins the war there will be
no So wheat or corn, and hog and
cattle raising will become unprofit-
able, because the markets of the
world will be closed to America.
Uncle Sam has been good to the
farmers. They have lived in '>nace
and their homes have been p, ire
and the Federal Loan Tr al :,
! provided cheap money with Which
I they could pursue the arts of peace.
Farmers in the last few years
~, have boeH solSeii~paia for theirpfUs
jduce that they now are "on their
feet" or more nearly so than ever
before.
Any economy they can practice
now will give them additional
money with which to lend financial
! aid to the government in its great
battle for right and fair dealing.
Uncle Sam is not asking you to
donate one cent, but he is pleading
that you lend him your money to
help make the world safe for democ-
racy. He offers you Liberty Bond
with a high rate of interest A
Liberty Bond is the safest invest
ment in the world.
When a farmer buys a Liberty
/ Bond he not only helps to finance
the war. but he becomes a lifesaver
for American boys fighting the most
heartless, cruel, relentless foe that
civilization ever has been called up,
on to face.
Last year the great cry was con,
seEVation. This year it is thrift.
The nation last year was urged to
conserve the natural resources and
the products of the farms and fields
and factories. Greater crops were
pleaded for. and canning clubs and
( city gardens were urged.
\ This year the country is being
taught the lesson of spending its
money wisely. The government is
showing the farmer as well as every
! other citizen the importance of put
ting every dollar where it will do
{ the most good.
/ The fact that the farmer is being
told this year to be thrifty does not
| mean he is not to plant every acre
available and till his crops carefully
and harvest them when they are
ready for the reaper.
But it means he is to invest wise
Iy the money he gets for the splen-
did crops he has demonstrated he
