War Clouds.

During these dark days when
the war clouds overshadow every
Capitol, and our boys leave us,
it is enough to try the souls of
the strongest. Ours is coun-
try that ever marches in the van
of justice, not for gold, dominion
expansion, or power did we enter
the titanic struggle. We are
sending our sons to the battle
field with a clear conscience that
our cause is JUST and in God
we trust.
1t is hard to print a kiss upon
the brow of our first born and
send them forth, it may be to
sleep their last sleep that knows
no awakening, on the battle
SCARED hills of France. But the
rude cross speaks eloguently of
duty nobly done. He gave his all
for his country his life may
God soon grant us peace and
bring ours back to us safely.
Our one great wish is to pick
up one of the Nashville dailies

the streets of Berlin with flags

German propagandists have been

Falsehoods of every character

has been the circulation of these
carefully moulded pro-German

Eyewitness Tells Of Fright
full Ouhages on Wo-
men and Children.

Long ago all Americans who
are without a tincture of pro-
Germanism in their blood have
ceased to disbelieve the tales of
German atrocities which many
Americans were loathe to believe
or could not believe, before it
was made plain to the civilized
world that the Germans commit
ted frightful outrages because
"frightfulness" was a part of
the military policy of the Ger
man commanders, but even at
this time the testimony of an eye
witness is not without interest as
showing at close range a picture
of the Germans in action in Bel
GUM.
Mrs. Florence Claerhout, Bel
gian woman who lived in Iowa
and who went home in May,
1914-to visit relatives in Lende-
Iede, got out of Belgium by walk
ing ninety miles, accompanied by
and often carrying her two chill
dren, who were too young to
stand the hardships of the road
unaided.

Why The Farmer Should
Buy Bonds.
This is a farmers S war.

The German Government has said that the farmer
shall not send his produce to Europe The is be-
ing waged partly in order to vindicate the right of the
farmer to send his goods to Europe at any prices.
The war has brought to the farmers of the country
prosperity and weslth unheard of in pro-war times
The farmers of the country constitute than
half the population Without their help the
not be won
1t is estimated that the farmer contributed less than
20 per cent of the First Loan and about 80 per cent of
the Second Loan.
The Government by its prce-fxing policy, has made
the farmer the most favored producer of to-day.
Defeat would mean ruin 10 the farmer.
1t wonld mean taxation to a point which would mean
slavery to German masters.
The farmer feels secure from invasion owing to his
peaceful life in his inland location It would take
German fleet five days to reach New York Harbor one
week to reach Galveston Harbor. and but short time
to land its troops in United States.
The farmers of Northern France felt secure with
Belgium between them and the Germans To-day their
farms are laid waste their houses burned crops seized
or destroyed fruit trees cut down. End their wives and
children dead or in slavery. 1t took but few
weeks for all this to happen,
Much of the money invested in Liberty Loan is used
to build ships These carry the farmers goods to mar
ket Just as he needs freight cars the farmer needs
ships
By buying Liberty Bonds the Jackson County
farmer is investing money in his own business.
