Jan Collingnon is one of the found

astic praise.
Miss Gabrielle Radoux is another
artist whose excellence was attained
in Belgium, that music-loving country,
whic hhas produced some of the great
est artists of the past and present
generations, among whom may be men
toned two of the most celebrated
now before the American public
Ysaye and Harold Bauer.
Miss J. Radoux includes always on
her program works of Belgian compo-
sition, the spirit of which she inter-

The Farmers Golden Opportunity

! Nowhere in the W4ut world has any
one prOfted more from the war than
the American farm. Prices OF cotton,
rice, sugar, grain, livestock in fact, OF
everything the farmer has TO sell are
higher than he ever dreamed Of aud
the end is not yet.
Unlike the farmers Of FranCe,Of Italy
and Russia, and OF other countries in
the war, the American farmer can 60
about MS work. sowing III the spring
and feeling secure that his fields viii
not be over-run by the enemy befoIe
harvest; reaping in the firm knowledge
that his stored grain will not be seize
by ruthless invader.
It's true the farmer has his troubles.
Help is hard to get, and the cost OF pro-
duction goes up month by month What
the farmer has to buy also advances
continually in price, but the farmer, TN.
like the city dWeller, can, it he desires,
purchase very little and still get along.
His living is right on his farm, What
,he purchases elsewhere is largely in
the line of luXurieS. He can sell now,
while prices are high, and buy later, il
he wishes, after prices go down.
In fact it would be wisdom If he
would follow this plan. Cut down on
the purchases OF luXuries and save for
the next period of depression, That is
just what the United States is asking
him to do in connection with the War
Savings campaign. The world needs
food-all that can be produced. The
government needs m0ney-all that can
be had. Let the farmer produce the
food and supply hungry world, and
put his money-part, at least from
every load of produce he sellS-into
government war savings stamps.
The security is the best in the world;
the interest rate is good; the War Say
ingS stamps cannot decline in value.
The men, women and children who own
them are insured against adversely.
