Farmers Back of War to the Limit

COLUMBUS. O.. Jan. 25.-Frank-
lin county farmers are back OF I'm
Gle sam. heart. soul and pocketbook.
". Sage Valentine proved II, and
he's ready to prove IL again. And
they're Just as patriotic In every 9th
er county in the United States when
they find out what is needed" says
Valentine.
Valentines proof consisted OF soil
ing over a million dollars worth OF
the second issue OF Liberty loan
bonds to farmers who invested only
s3T 800 in the first issue.
Explain what Uncle Sam wants
from the farmer. and then leave 1t to
the farmer" In Valentines theory.
ON this theory he perfected his ma.
chinery.
When the Central Liberty loan
committee drafted Valentine TO take
charge OF the campaign outside OF
the city OF Columbus. they ordered
him To sell $4,000 worth OF bonds
and predicted he'd fail.
Valentine drafted n bunch of
speakers who knew what was want
ed and could tell Il. He arranged
meetings and sent out the speakers.
They explained the loan. all about 1t.
and what was needed.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1918-01-25

There the speakers work ended.
The farmers organized by electing
five committeeman In each of the Is
townships. One was chosen town
ship chairman. and each of the 9th
ers took charge OF organizing n
quarter OF the township.
Thus Valentine had 1850 persons
organized SO that he was I'm touch
with every detail.
Valentine kept his organization
full OF pep" by mailing out daily
bulletins with an honor roll for
statesmen making big records.
a spirit OF friendly rivalry was
created.
Chose n Slogan
"over the million mark" is how It
worked.
The organization will be used
for the sale Of thrift stamps and
TO promote food conservation.
THE net amount OF bond sub
scriptions wasn't the biggest result
of the campaign" Valetine says.
THE farmers were placed In close
touch with governmental activities
made to feel that they are an impor-
tant part OF the government; their
patriotism was aroused"

SPANISH INFLUENZA
MORE DEADLY.
THAN WAR
Said that Epidemic Cost More Lives Than
American Loss in Battle. Danger Not
Over. Great Care Necessary to
Prevent Further Outbreak

The annallino rayages of Spanish In
fluenza in This country are perhaps best
realized in the statement recently made,
that more deaths have resulted in little
more than a month from this disease than
through our whole eighteen months par
ticipation in the battle of the European
War.
Our greatest danger now, declare au-
thorities. is the great American tendency
to forget easily and to believe the peril is
over. Competent authorities CLAIM the
coming of cold weather is very apt to
bring return of this disease and there
should be no let up throughout the win
ter months of the following easily OBJ
served precautions, remembering that In
.fuenza is far easier to prevent than cure:
Influenza is a crowd disease. Avoid
crowds as much as possible. influenza
germs spread when ignorant or careless
persons sneeze or cough without using
handkerchief. Cover dp each cough or
sneeze. Do not spit on the floor, SIDE
walk, in street cars or public places.
Avoid the use of common drinking cups
and roller towels of public places. breathe
some reliable eermicidal and antlseptlc
air to destroy the germs that do lind

healing germ killing air into the passages
of your nose, throat and lungs.
By destroying germs before they actu-
ally begin work in your blood, you may
make yours practically immune to infec-

All these suggestions about Spanish In
fluenza are equally true in the prevention
of colds, catarrh of nose and throat,
bronchitis and even pneumonia. Don't
become careless. Do your part. Keep
the germs away. You may save yourself
a serious illness and the loss of several
weeks work,

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
fee of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac
rfice will depend Europe's fate in the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude of which is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead of 1890
900 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
If the Allies had not been fed by
America, it would have been impos-
sible for them TO maintain their de-
Tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ-
racy is a success ana that in time of
need it will rise to it's own defense.
If there were no other accomplish
ment to it's credit the very fact that it
has shown the strength Of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence of the Food Administration
in the eyes Of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on basis Of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
Irresistible.
"Many thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, land the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months in the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that it could not be
DONE Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many di-
rections and upon the mere word of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances"
The history of the Food Administra-
ton has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith in democ-
racy has not been misplaced.

CONSERVATION OF LABOR

In years past we in America have
been prodigal in all things. We have
been careless with our natural re-
on the fertility of our soils, and we
have frequently shown poor judgment
in the utilization of the one item which
is more costly in America than any,
where else in the wOrld-the item OF
labor. Being Americans we did what
we pleased and when we pleased, re-
CARELESS.
For a concrete example let us con-
slider the annual distribution of labor
in the fertilizer factories of the coun-
try. In March and April twice as
many men were employed as in the
months of November and December.
Why2 Simply because the vast ma
jority of orders were filled in March
and shipments were nearly all de-
manded in March or April.
The same unequal distribution Of la
Dor prevailed among the farmers to
whom the fertilizer industry sold its
goods. During November and Decem-
Der farmers and their labor had as lit
tie to do as at any time of the year,
and in March and April they were as
busy as bees. Taking day or two
from blowing or sowing in order to
haul fertilizer was as painful as pull
ing teeth. Yet that was exactly when
the hauling was done.
Why was not the fertilizer ordered
in November and hauled home in De-
cember or January? The manufacturer
would have welcomed the orders and
he could and would have given them
better attention; roads were usually
better for hauling in winter than in
early spring, and there would have
been none Of this delay at the all-im-
portant time of seeding.
1t would have been so easy to have
gained this better distribution of Ia
Dor and saved so much for both par
ties. But it took big war and ter
rife shortage of labor to make us real
ize that early orders and early ship
ments were much more satisfactory,
far less costly, and not productive of
the anxious delays so common under
the old system.
