HOLDING YOUR SECURITIES

Sioux City Journal-It may be that
many of the men who after investing
in war savings stamps dispose of their
purchases at the earliest opportunity
do not realize that they are defeating
the prime object of the government in
their issuance. which is to promote
thrift among the wage of the
country and make them permanent in
vestors in the national securities.
Time was when only capitalists
could become owners Of government
securities. At least this was the pop
ular ~obsession, and no wage Garner
even thought he could become a par
ticipant in such investments. Our for
mer vars have been financed by the
sale of government bonds of large de-
nominations, bearing high rates of in
terest and maturing only after long
terms of years, to capitalists and
funding institutions. But the finan-
cial policy of the country has broad
ened with it's growth and prosperity,
and when the time came to finance
the present wal it was deemed wise to
issue bonds of small denominations,
bearing a low rate of interest and ma.
turing in shorter terms of years.
These bonds were supplemented by is.
sues Of thrift and war savings stamps,
so that the smallest investor could
participate. This policy has vindicat'
ed the wisdom Of its inception, and
through its operation the government
has been enabled with the help Of the
federal and other banks to raise the
enormous sums of money required to
carry forward the war.
But more money, and still more in
greater sums, will be needed to carry
on the vast military and industrial &C.
~tivities of the government. To this
end. a new Liberty bond issue will
soon be foated, and it is emphasized

other officials responsible for the sue.

GROWING CROPS IN THE COUNTY
FROM COLLEGE SEEDS

On Monday, August Goth, County
Agent Finley made a circuit of the
county, accompanied by II. J. Wilder
of the L. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, d. c., and Marley
Champlin of the State College, for
the purpose of wishing as many fields
suits obtained by the progressive
farmers who are cooperating in grow
ing crops from college seeds in
Brookings county.
Altogether there are 26 farms in
the county on which college seeds
are being grown this season. It was
impossible to visit all of them in II
day, but those visited were securing
good results in most instances. II.
l.. Button has a fine field of Alta corn
which he is growing on badly infested
quack grass land. He had recently
threshed his Sixty Day oats which
he used as a nurse crop for grass
and alfalfa. He secured good stands
of grass and a very fair yield of oats.
1t may seem strange to Mr.. Buttons
friends to find him listed among the
progressive farmers, but that is one
of the many things which are due to
the war. His farming partner being
drafted in July, Mr.. Button locked up
his office and turned farmer to "
his crops.
A. T. Thompkins has a remarkably
well tended field Of ~Brookings, S. d.,
Sc corn, on rich land which promises
an excellent yield. Many of the ears
are well denied at the present time.
If frost stays off a few days longer
he will have seed corn for others as
we'll as himself. Percy Kennard also
has an excellent field of this variety.
Lawrence Thompkins is pioneering a
promising new industry for this sec
ton, trying out 9 different varieties
of soy beans. Some of the plants
are nearly three feet high and all
are loaded with pods. Some of the
varieties promise to mature easily
while others will probably not. The
idea is to locate a successful variety
of this money-making soil improving
crop.
3. B. Wendelkin and P. J. O'Con-
nor are growing Alta corn near Eli
'ston. Both have excellent stands and
the crop is rapidly approaching ma
turity Mr.. Wendelkin is also testing
out the soy bean proposition.
j. H. Kinney and Delmar Gooch
were in the hailed strip, but their
fields, of Bookings, s. d. Sc corr are
recovering nicely and though set back
a little. promise to get ripe II given
two or three weeks of good weather.
After seeing the crops, the fine
homes and the good stock, Mr.. Wild
er was high in his praises of the folks
and the soil of Brookings county. He
said that his only regret was that his
time did not permit him to complete
the whole circuit.

Failure Of Peace Negotiations

Stockholm, Feb. 20. = Throwing to
the winds its protestations of friend

its war on that country.
Taking advantage of the disarming
OF the Russian troops, as provided in
the agreement signed at the time OF
the armistice, which has ended, was
agreed on, military leaders of the
kaiser have begun the reinvasion of
the Russian country.
Movements against Esthonia and Ii
vonia have been started, and it is the
intention, military experts agree, to
press the invasion to the limit and
to indulge In ruthless warfare until
the Russians are completely crushed
and unable to offer further defense
to the plans of the kaiser.
VIII Divide East Operations.
Along this line an agreement is said
to have been reached by Austro Ger
man chiefs that in the action against
Russia operations of Germany will bt

Two German Newspapers See
Chance To Split Allies BY
Treating With U. S.
PRAISE WILSON POLICY
President Admitted To Be Right In
Many Points And 1T Variance
With Allies-Would Con-
tinue Discussions.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The Neuste
Nachrichten and the Muenchener
Post, two of the largest newspapers
in South germany, interpret Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson's address
to congress last, week, as showing
a desire TO continue public peace dis
cussioEs. Editorials from issues of
those papers of February 13 received
here by cable and made public by the
commi'' 'ee on public information, urge
the statesmen of the Teuton powers
to endeayor to come to an under
standing with the United States.
The Neuste Nachrichten says:
THE Presidents speech shows a
clear desire to continue the public
discussion between Washington and
Germany.
See Wilson Different.
1T Is important to observe how
greatly Wilson differs in tone and
substance from the declarations or
other Allied statesmen Today IL is
easily understood why America is
not politically represented at Yer
sailles. 1t is because Wilson's pres
ent policy is not the policy of Gle
menceau and Lloyd George. -.
"It should not be difficult for Hert-
ling and Czernin, by defining more
closely their former declarations. to
come to an agreement in principle
with Wilson. But the latter should
also see the justice of applying this
beautiful principle to the Allies.
Altogether. Wilson shows himself
as the only opponent with whom dis
cussion is possible. Therefore, it is
the duty of German statesmen to Sc
cure the greatest possible benefit from
this discussion.
Admit President Right.
IF agreement with America can
succeed before Its war machine as
sumes irresistible momentum, the
whole Ally combination would be un
hinged.
Wilson's reply to Hertling and
Czernin shows the strong desire for a
general peace" says the MuencheneI
Post. 1T must be admitted that the
President is entirely right in many
points OF his solemic against Hert
ling. The latter spoke, hut formulat
ed no positive program.
