WHEN CITY BOYS GO
OFF TO THE COUNTRY
iney Must Not BE 'eroo Bright" or
Two Fresh"--Advicc to the
Coming Farm Army.

When city boys go to the country
TO work on farms they are advised
not to be TOO bright" OF too fresh y
They will find that If they put on
superior airs they will learn a
thing or two" worth knowing from
the country boys.
Federal Director r. g. Cohn, of
the United States boys working re-
serve, has issued a pamphlet which
contains wholesome advice to the boys
who will take Jobs on farms. Here
are some OF the most valuable point
ers from the pamphlet:
Every reserve should remem Der
that it is his first duty to serve the
interest of his employer not only
ny conscientious work. but also by
protecting the animals and machin-
cry with which he comes in contact.
II you have never had experience
on farm. you should learn the work,
rs you would any other subject. Learn
the names and characters of the ma =
tertals and equipment OF the farm. its
animals it's crops. and Its machinery.
Learn the terms used on the farm, so
that when you are directed to perform
a duty you will know what that duty
L. Never pretend to know some
thing of which you are ignorant.
Farmers are not born, they are made
by study and experience. Before
commencing work that you do not un-
deretand, ask respectfully of your en-
ployer that he may explain 1t TO you.
AT the beginning you may find the
physical labor exhausting-do not try
TO do too much at once. IT you find
yourself getting overtred. rest for a
short period. You will md that after
forty or forty-ive minutes work. ten
minutes rest will enable you to con
tinue com fortably. After you are once
hardened you will be able 10 do the
work OF man, but dVnot overstrain
yourself at the beginning.
DO not be too bright. Boys or
men who are always exhibiting their
precocity invariably render themselves
obnoxious
Never abuse animals. They are
dumb, and are incapable OF protect
ing themselves.
Use great care In handling ma
chinery and tools They are expen-
sive. and will cost money 10 replace.
and II they be injured you may de
privs your employer OF their Use at

thing In It's place.
Close all doors and gates. as no
one has time TO follow behind you
TO do those things which you over
look
Use every efforts, through your
conscientious work. Willingness and

sary to do it. And that
is because it is the right

American to buy them.

"Why should we American
women be shielded and kept
from doing the work that
French and English women
have done?" This is the ques-
tion being asked by Miss Grace
Parker, who was sent to Europe
to investigate woman's war
work on the other side Of the
Atlantic. Miss Parker points
out that one million English
women are making ammunition,
that several hundreds of thou
sands are working on the farm,
that they are performing every
kind of labor needed to build q
battle ship; that ten thousand
are working in France behind
the firing line; that twelve
thousand are acting as motor
drivers; that within ten days of
the declaration Of war sixty
thousand nurses were enlisted.
At her meeting in Dallas re-
Gently Miss Parker's question
was applauded vehemently.
This was to be expected o.
Southern womanhOOd.
There is a work into which
the woman of the Southwest
can throw all those energies
which they would gladly ex-
tend in more arduous and dan
gerous tasks. They can secure
for the Government . huRe
0ver-subscription TO the Liberty
Loan. This will send food and
ammunition to our soldiers and
to our Allies. Will build ships,
help to crush Germany and so
achieve the object of every true
American woman. Do the duty
that arises clearly defined be-
fore you, and the same credit
viii be due as to the over-alled,
dirt-stained sister on the 9th
er side. In the army of Demec-
racy some must go "over the
eop"-some must engage in the
prosaic work of mule driving
some making ammunition-oth-
ers again must provide the
money. All are necessary. Do
your part and you will share
equally in that glorious tri-
umph which must one day be
ours. Women Of the South
west, we look to our men to
subscribe the Liberty Loan quo
ia. We look to you to double It.

HOW TO SECURE
A LIBERTY BOND

tails concerning Liberty Bonds
may be a lite vague to you.
For the benefit of all, a few
facts may Gear things up.
The Bonds, guaranteed by
the United States Government
and consequently the safest in.
vestment in the world, are OF
the following values: $1,000
$4,000, $5OO.0O, 100000, $5,.
900 and 100000.
The interest at the rate OF
4h% per annum is payable on
September Is, 1918, on March
Is, 1919, and thereafter on
each September 18th and March
18th.
The Bonds are redeemable
in gold on September Is, 1928.
Sign the application form
which you can obtain from any
banker or Liberty Loan sales.
man
You can pay for your bond in
full at the time of your appli-
cation.
If you would rather pay by
instal.ments you can pay the
banker or salesman SO of the
amount of the Bond you intend
to purchase, that is $500 on
every $4,000, and pay the bal
ance as follows
2O%s on May %, 1918.
$50 on July 18, 1918.
4O% on August Is, 1918.
: The Bonds lear interest from
May 9th, 1918, so if you buy
on the installment plan you
will be asked to add to your
August payment the small
amount Of interest you are not
entitled to, owing to the fact
that the Government has not
had the use of the full amount
Of your subscription until you
made the final payment. The
amount involved is so small
that it is not worth consider
ing.
The money you pay for the
Bonds and the interest you re-
ceive on them is free from tax
alton, except Inheritance Tax,
and the surtaxes on large in
comes. A man must be very
wealthy before his interest of
4ATt is reduced by even one
half of one per cent, 80 to the
average citizen the Bonds are
tax free.
Arrangements have been
made to deliver Bonds at a few
days notice as soon as they are
paid for in full.
There are two kinds of
Bonds-Coupon and Registered.
Coupon Bonds bear Coupons
which you tear off and ex-
change for interest money at
your bank or Post Office. Reg
istered Bonds have no Coupons,
hut the interest is mailed to
you twice yearly. Up to the
100000 value Bonds you can
take your choice as to which
you will buy.
Bonds of $50,0OO.OO and
$1O0,O00.OO are issued bnt must
be registered.
Your application must be in
by May 4, 1918. The Govern
ment specially asks you how
ever to place your order before
this date.
Many banks are willing to ar
range for a small payment
down, and monthly payments
for the balance. This of course,
is for the benefit of those who
do not at the moment, have the
ready funds to pay for their
bonds in full.
The main thing, of course, is
to get busy Immediately on
some basis, for the emergency
is urgent. and it must not he said
that we are not ready to follow
with our money, the boys that
