WHY FARMER AND

 MUCH AT VARIANCE
WITH GUARANTEED PRICE FOR WHEAT, AGRiCULTURIST IS AT
 HEIGHT OF PROSPERITY.
JUDGED BY INDIVIDUALS
RuraIist and Urbanite Owe Same Duty to Support the Victory
 Liberty Loan.

They are telling this story in corn belt section. Maybe it is true and maybe-well, here is the story:
 There are a lot Washington coun- ties and maybe this was Washing ton County farmer. He had not bought dimes worth of w s. S.. nor a Liberty Bond He paid no attention to the Red Cross, the Y. M. c. A.~or the other war drives. He came into a store where he had long been a customer. He was better dressed than usual.
 Well" said the merchant, q guess you had a big Christmas out home? ?" No" said the farmer. instantly gloomy, i've didn't. The war and the high price of things and all sort of made things gloomy
 The merchant looked him over in astonishment.
 Why, that seems funny. Ii looks like of all the men I know that you were least handicapped. Weren't both your boys exempted on account of agricultural work? Aren't you get ting more for wheat and cattle and hogs and corn than you ever got? You are getting 75 cents for eggs and 78 cents for butter. Where have you any right to kick? Surely not at buying Liberty Bonds?"
 Didn't buy any Liberty Bonds, said the other T haven't been held up for any of these money-grabbing stunts I simply stood out. Let the city folks that start these things take care of them. They've had the farm CT by the throat for years. Now it is our turn. I am going to make hay while the sun continues to shine"
 He was not a representative farmer But. unfortunately, there are some farmers who try to keep up and feeG fat an ancient grudge against fellow Americans, city folks of their own blood. Are these men farmers first and Americans last? They are refus- ing to see that their welfare is tied up with the rest of the nation.

MATTER OF SELF-RESPECT

The Government does not want any man who actually is financially unable to buy Victory Liberty Note (short- term bondD to purchase But it does want every man who is able, even by skimping, to do so. It is up to the in dividual to decide this question. On the decision depends whether the in dividual is patriot or a stacker. The man who is able and does not buy cannot have the respect of even him. self

The second Sunday in May
has been set aside as Mothers
Day" throughout the entire
country. The day may be oh.
served by wearing the carna-
tion; doing some act of kind
ness; the writing of a letter to
the mother far away; by a small
gift or tribute 10 the loved one.
How much we owe 10 mother,
she who loved as frstl Others
may come and creep into our
heart and fiji it with love
that is almost pain. but in it's
holy of holies there is kept a
chamber inviolate for mother.
Whatever of good. of gentleness.
of generous impulse that has
blossomed in our lives, TO her
should be given credit. So today
if mother is still living. let us
lay our votive offerings at her
feet. If she is in the land Of
dreams. let us offer up a bless
ing that we are privileged to
have such a sacred memory.
