iSLACKERs AMONG
i FARMERS WERE
RELATIVELY FEW
BUT THERE WE'RE SOME WHO
FAILED TO SUBSCRIBE IN FOR
MER LIBERTY LOAN DRIVES.
"A CHANCE TO MAKE GOOD
Uncle Sam Has Been Farmers Best
Customer and Reciprocation
Is In Order.

You hear the question argued as to
whether the farmer has done his full
part in the buying of Liberty Bonds
1t Is generally admitted that he has.
But-as with other men-there were
thousands of him who Stacked.
There is no sense in being soft-spok-
en- about it. The facts show it. The
various Liberty Loan organizations
had farmers on their Stacker lists,
just as they had slackers from other
lines Of work. Some farmers failed
to prove their loyalty, Just as some
lawyers, some doctors, some mer-
chants ana some others failed.
Uncle Sam has been the farmers
biggest customer He bought more
farm products than anyone else. Uncle
Sam was the feeder of many mouths.
In his armies and navies he had nearly
100000 men. And as Uncle Sam is
still the biggest customer, the greatest
buyer of farm products. He has hun
dreds of thousands of men still In
the service. He will have big navy
NeAAu a Wis al 1llJ IOl llOulAO yClB CNCh
lat the best A demand has been Great
ed abroad for farm products that will
make strong demands upon the farm
er. Millions of dollars of foodstuffs,
grown on American dirt by American
farmers, will produce
farmers, will pass on its way to
Europe.
Uncle Sam has paved the way for
the American farmer to sell his pro-
duce abroad. The way seems to have
been paved for American farm pros
perity for good many years. Not
war prosperity, Of course, but some
thing very near 1t. 1t looks like the
farmer sSould be able to dispose Of
all he can produce for a good while
now.
Has the farmer been appreciative
of these things? Has he met his old
Uncle Samuel about halfway in the
big jobs? Well, it has been argued
land it has been disputed. Doubtless
the farmer has taken care of his share
of the undertaking. But whether he
has or not, he has a chance in this
last, the Fifth or Victory Liberty
Loan, to make his presence felt.
The loan is big one and there will
be plenty of room for the farmer as
well as every other man in the coun-
try to get a piece Of 1t. There was
very little criticism of the rural COM
munities during the Third and Fourth
Loans and during the Fifth drive it
Is likely that the farmer will march
on with the horors. There is another
chance to buy Liberty Notes (short-
term bonds), the soundest Of sound
investments.

INDIANS ADOPT SLOGAN
Liberty Note in Every Tepee Is Cry
on Reservations in the
Southwest.

"A Victory Liberty Note in every
tepee."
AS a part of the governments cam
pdign to- sell Victory Loan Notes
lshort-term bonds), this slogan has
been adopted in every Indian reserva-
ton in the West and Southwest. The
workers on the government reseTa-
lions report to Victory Loan head
quarters an unusual interest manifest
I'd by the Indians in the success CT
the loan campaign. They seem to
l@sp the fact that net only are they
helping the Great White Father at
Washington clean up the nation S
wartime obligations, but they are de-
irving personal benefit by lending
money to the government.
That the Indian is doing his bit 10
help the Victory Loan campaign is at
tested by Cato Sells, commissioner of
Indian affairs. 'In the Victory Loan
campaign" he said, ''tho Indians viii
90 their part for the government and
themselves"
The Indians have been in the war
school," said Mr.. Sells, 'and they
have learned for themselves its ex-
pansive and intensive lessons. Nine
thousand of them, or one-fourth of
their number eligible for warfare, en-
tered the military service, and, ming
ing with the white soldiery, earned
their full ratio of promotions. On the
reservation back of these transoceAnic
crusaders a widespread tribal senti-
nent voiced itself in the purchase Of
S20, 100000 worth of Liberty Bonds, or
freedom loan of more than $50 for
every Indian in the United States"

NO PESSIMISTS ARE
FOUND AMONG WOMEN
LIBERTY WORKERS
Letters From State chairmen Indi-
cate Enthusiasm over Liberty
Loan Campaign.

There are no pessimists among the
women workers Of the War Loan Or
garization for the Eighth District, ac-
cording to Mrs. Theodore Benoist, dis
trict chairman of the women's division
Of the organization.
Letters from the state chairman
from all over the district show that
the women of the states are keener
than ever to go away over the top
in the Victory Loan campaign" said
Mrs. Benoist. "The state chairmen
have been making trips over their
states calling on the county chairmen.
They report that in each county visit
&c the women are even more enthu-
siastic over the coming loan than they
were in the preceding Liberty loans.
Already more than 100000 women
have made up their minds to put
over the Victory Liberty Loan and
are working to perfect the organiza-
tons.
The government has made a pro-
vision to give each worker in the
coming loan drive a medal made from
the metal of captured cannons. We
have asked the state chairmen to send
in the names of their workers so that
we may have a list of those who are
to be given medals. / think the gov
eminent will have to get some more
cannons if the women keep enrolling"
said Mrs. Benoist.
Mrs. Benoist expressed the belief
hof ri
If the investment inducement did not.
I'VE must pay the bills for success.
The boys who went into the service to
win the war and who did win the war
have completed their job. We must
complete ours. 1t is for the honor of
the nation. The honor of each in
div1dual depends on the honor Of the
nation. Women of the Eighth District
will not allow their honor to be in
doubt and have made up their minds
% see that the Victory Liberty Loan
is a success"
Mrs. Sam Phillips, state chairman II
West Tennessee, requested that big
inspirational meeting be held early,
but upon consultation with Mrs. Ben
DIST 1t has been decided 10 postpone
the meetings. Kentucky will be the
first state in which the big rally,
which will precede the campaign, will
be held. The date for the Kentucky
meeting has been set for April Z.
Mrs. Benoist plans to attend all
meetings in the district.
Up to date the two states in the
district which have the nearest to
complete organizations are Missouri
and Arkansas, Mrs. Benoist said. In
these states the organizations are
practically complete. Other states are
fast completing their organizations
and it is expected that within few
days every state in the district will
have been organized.
