Naval Lieutenant Wins Honor.

Although officers in the military
forces of this country are not allowed
to accept decorations or gifts from for
eign governments, the British admiral
ty has just conferred honors upon a.
young American officer. To Lieut.
Frank Loftin, q. s. N, on duty on ant
American destroyer operating in the
war zone, has been given the distin-
,guished service cross. The navy de-
partment this recommen-
dalton made through the British am
bassador. Loftin was executive OFF,
Ger of the destroyer, which, with 9TH
ers, was conveying a number of troop
ships, when general quarters was
sounded as q torpedo was sighted COM
ing toward the ship. Sizing up the
situation, he rang to the engine
for full speed ahead. Getting this, he
altered the ships course and headed
directly for the periscope of the o.
boat. Quick m%aneuvering followed and
a depth charge dropped in the course
of the submerged enemy sent him out
of sight. Lieutenant Loftin is from
Tennessee and graduated from the
Naval academy In the class of 1907.

O.. Can the farmer afford to buy
Liberty Bonds?
A. Yes. The value of thirteen
principal field crops for 1917 is two
and a half times the average value of
those crops-$10,6 92, 361, 900 against a
five-year average (1911-15) of $4,939,-
142, 000-and the value of all farm
products, plant and animal, has in
creased in about the same proportion.
The farmer has the money with which
to buy Liberty Bonds and can afford
it.
@. Can the farmer afford NOT to
buy Liberty Bonds?
A. No. There was exported last
year 81 1858, 849,7 O7 worth of farm
products-almost twice the value of
all farm products exported the year
the European war began.
@. But is that increase in Ameri-
can exports of farm products due to
Americas participation in the war?
A. Yes-directly and absolutely. If
the United States, instead of declar-
ing war against Germany, had submit
ted to Germany's demands, practically
all American exports of farm products
would have been shut off and the-en
tire product Of American farms have
been bottled up in this country.
@. Suppose the United States had
been so craven as to submit to Ger
many's insulting terms as to ship
ments, been thus deprived of the
right of sending its farm products
abroad and forced to keep all the
fruits of its fields at home, what
would have been the consequence to
the American farmer?
A. The supply of all kinds of farm
products would have exceeded the de-
mand. Prices would have gone down
instead of up. Corn, cotton and other
staple crops would have sold for less
than the cost of production. For many
crops, no market at all could have
been found. Farmers who were In
debt would have been unable to meet
their notes and mortgages as they
came due. Hundreds of thousands
of farmers would have been absolutely
ruined and all of them would have
faced an era of stagnation and star
walton prices such as has never been
seen in this country.

NOTABLE REMINDERS


Notable persons will give one-min-
ute speeches in the interest of the
Liberty Loan-that is. their filmed
representations will give the speech
es. This is how 1t Is done: The
speaker stands before the moving
picture camera and talks for a min
ute, telling why he thinks every one
should buy Government Bonds. His
words are taken down by a %stenogra-
pher. A slide is made of the speech
and it is thrown on the screen. Then
the film speaker is put on the screen,
and you can almost imagine that you
hear every word.
These films and slides will appear
in towns all over the district during
the campaign.

That the cigarette must be eliminat-

the other afternoon when a North side

wished, to hear some music and drink
a cup of tea. Some of the guests per-
mitted their little boys to go over to

and Master Mcpherson inquired
whether Miss" Gregg was there.

get Jack, for he's awful SICK" was his
announcement.

made a bee line to rescue Jack. A
little later she returned to the party
and responded to anxious inquiries
with a smile, saying: Hes better

There was another violin number,

1t was Mrs. Mcpherson herself.

Mrs. Wrong also dashed forth to
give succor to her offspring. She, too,
returned after a while, and seemed
rather put out. She forestalled the
impending questions by announcing:
"~Cigarettesi I'll finish the treatment

Mrs. Wagner had just finished re-
heeling a sock and the function was
about to close when the telephone

THE FARMER AND THE LIBERTY LOAN

@. Then the farmers of the United
States owe to this nations particlpa-
ton in the wal not only their pres
ent prosperity, but also their escape
from a condition Of poverty and prl-
walton?
A. Yes. If the United States had
knuckled to Germany, the American
farmer instead of enjoying unprece-
denied prosperity, would have faced
almost unprecedented misery.
@. You say unprecedented pros
perity" and unprecedented misery"
On what is that statement concretely
based?
A. Well, wheat Is selling now for
SO a pushed. The average price prior
to 1914 was 81 cents a bushel. Corn
is selling for SIPS a bushel, against
an anti-war average of SO cents; cot
ton for nearly $40, against $50 a
bale; tobacco for nearly $25, against
$40 per hundred weight; potatoes for
$1.23, against 60 cents per bushel,
and so with all crops. If we had sub
mitted to Germany's demand to stop
sending our products across the
ocean,, large quantities of these com
modities could not have been sold at
all but would have rotted in the fields
and the top price for wheat where it
sold would not have been more than
so cents a bushel, corn not more than
rs cents a bushel, cotton not more
than IS a hundred and tobacco not
more than 81 a hundred.
@. Then the farmer should buy
Liberty Bonds to support the war be-
cause the war has given him prosperi-
ty and because Liberty Bonds consti-
tute a sort of insurance policy for
continued prosperity?
A.. That is hardly the way to put
it. The farmer should buy Liberty
Bonds to support the war because
buying Liberty Bonds is a part of
his duty to his country. But, fortu-
nately for him, the war has put him
in such a condition of prosperity that
he can buy literally of Liberty Bonds
without hurting himself. There is a
scriptural injunction to give unto the
Lord according as the Lord has pros
pered you. 1t applies to this phase
of the cause of right just as thorough
1y as any other.
