UNCLE SAM FIGHTING TO WIN WAR FOR WORLDS LIBERTY
 AND FREEDOM.
FARMERS OWE DUTY TO U. s.
Liberty Loan Bonds Are Safest Invest ment and Are a Guarantee for Continued Prosperity for
 the Entire Country.

Every uOlIdI luNSSlGu III d LlDSlt Bond IS blow at the greatest inter national erimlnaI in history. Ever5 dollar that goes to purchase Liberty Bond Is a protest against the greedy, unscrupulOus, souAess power Dent upon ensiaylng the World. One nun ured dollars invested tn Liberty Bonds DrIngs victory nearer 10 Amer lea and the Allies and saves the AVes of American soldiers bathing tor home and country.
 Farmers especially should realize that Uncle Sam Is nghung not only to win the war for the Allies but To- America No American cIuzen should imagine that the United States Is Ill this war tor the Allies alone. A vic tory for Germany would mean slavery for Americans as well as the remain der of the world.
 Wake up, freemen of America, anu help your government to destroy the ruthless power that has plunged more than half of the world into the blood fest, most horrible war in history Farmers now obtain high prices for their products, but if the Kaiser wins the war there will be no $2 wheat or corn, and hog and cattle raising will become unprofitable, because the mar kets of the world will be closed to America.
 Uncle Sam has been good to the farmers. They have lived in peace and their homes have been secure and the Federal Loan Bureau has provided cheap money with which they coute pursue the arts of peace.
 Farmers in the last few years have been so well paid for their produce that they now are lon their feet. or more nearly so than ever before.
 Any economy they can practice now will give them additional money with which to lend financial aid to the gov ernment in it's great battle for right and fair dealing.
 Uncle Sam Is not asking you to do nate one cent, but he is pleading that you lend him your money to help make the world safe for democracy. He offers you a Liberty Bond with high rate of interest Liberty Bond Is the safest investment in the world.
 When farmer buys a Liberty Bond he not only helps to finance the war, but he becomes lifesaVer for Amer ican boys fighting the most heartless, cruel. relentless foe that civilization ever has been called upon to face.
 Last year the great cry was con servation. This year 1t is thrift The nation last year was urged to con serve the natural resources and the products of the farms and fields and factories. Greater crops were plead ed for, and canning clubs and city gardens were urged.
 This year the country is being taught the lesson of spending its money wisely. The government is showing the farmer as well as every other citizen the importance of put ting every dollar where it will do the most good.
 The fact that the farmer Is being told this year to be thrifty does not mean he is not to plant every acre available and till his crops carefully and harvest them when they are ready for the reaper.
 But it means he is to invest wisely the money he gets for the splendid crops he has demonstrated he is able to raise.
 Conservation and thrift go hand in hand. The farmer, as rule, can find something for which to spend almost every dollar he receives There al ways is something to buy. Machinery is needed, notes must be met fer tilizer purchased. harness, clothing, oil and groceries paid for.
 With the high prices he will receive for his products he will have money left after he has met his expenses.
 The patriotic citizen will invest this surplus in Liberty Bonds, the safest investment in the world, and one that will not only bring In a fair return but will help to make America a safe place to live in years to come.
 Every dollar loaned to the govern. ment serves to shorten the war and bring peace to the world.
