HOW FARMERS CAN BRING
LABORERS BACK TO LAND

During tho coming crop growing
season tho farmers will DO in need
of help upon the land as never before.
Farm hands have been attracted to
the great labor centers by tho I'M
usual high wages offered; wages with
which the farmer cannot compete.
Now. then, let every farmcr-and
every loyal pcrson-ponder on this:
Whenever you resist the temptation
TO buy 4 needless article you will save
the labor of some skilled mechanic to
replace it, in order to keep up the
supply. Thousands of skilled me-
chanics, whose time would thus DO
saved, would be released to go to tho
shipyards, munition shops and the like.
II every farmer would grasp this life
saving fact and act upon it, and en-
courage others to do so, it would stop
the drain of labor from the farms; it
would undoubtedly send back to the
land the unskillcd hands who have
left it for government employment
and who have not been trained for
such work.

Since the dark ages tho farmcr-tho

the man who suffered most from war.
His crops. his everything, are usually
consumed by tho invading armies.
But tho farmer Is warrior whom

thing that will keep him FREQ. Since
tho war was declared against tho con-

chance to quickly grasp what it is all
about.

throughout tho Fifth federal reserve

of tho campaign because any single
unit, regardless of its size or loca-
ton, may compete for this honor. Tho
only requisite to winning 1t Is tho
showing Of results by the Liberty Loan

better than to Impress this point on

particular attention to tho fact that
this Is tho finest way on earth to get

1t Is obvious that if John Smith has
a flag in his window, Samuel Jones,

Of equally rs great value will be tho

Celebrating Your Victory.
A fitting celebration should mark tho
raising of the flag. Ii your conmu-

several members. including Represen-

the authenticity of the report that

During the debate several members
intimated that Postmaster General
