One Of the most attractive Of the
prominent ONE which the u. D. C.

SlACkERs AMONG
FARMERS WERE
RELATIVELY FEW
BUT THERE WERE 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
it 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 and 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
and big army for months yet, even
at the best. demand has been Great
ed abroad for farm products that will
make strong demands upon the farm
err 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 a good many years. Not
war prosperity, of course, but some
thing very near it. 1t looks like the
farmer should be able to dispose of
all he can produce for 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
and 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 ploTty CT room fer the farmer as
well as every other man in the coun-
try to get piece of 1t. There was
very little criticism of the rural com
nlunities during the Third and Fourth
Loans and during the Fifth drive II
is likely that the farmer will march
off with the honors. There is another
chance to buy Liberty Notes (short-
term bonds), the soundest OF sound
investments.

Missing Men

A hunt for news Of missing men
is being conducted through the can
tonments of this country. according
to the late plan of the American
Red Cross. Workers in the various
environments receive lists Of miss
ing men, and are questioning the
soldiers who have returned home
for news ofstheir comrades.
Over $500 American soldiers
are still listed as missing" says a
recent dispatch of the War Depart
ment. Each name probably repre-
sents some distracted family, some
one anxiously waiting the ney s
which may never come.
Already info nation about miss
ing men has been found by Bed
Cross workers at home. Often men
in the same outfit with missing
man will know something of him.
The plan being followed is the
same as III It used by the thousands
of Red Cross casualty searchers n
the hospitals of Europe. The in
formation is forwarded by the Div
ision Red Cross office to national
headquarters. 1t is then cleared
through the War Department to the
family offhe missing man.

No longer will it be necessary for
anyone to obtain practical plans for
d yelling from an architect. The
Department of Labor in Washing
ton will supply them. The original
idea of this department was to
supply plans and estimates for
houses that soldiers desire to build,
making no charge for them, but SO
well has the plan worked that Sec
rotary Wilson has issued orders to
distribute the drawings to civilians
through chambers of commerce,
civic organisations, women's clubs
and the like, also requesting that
campaigns be started locally in all
sections so as to help along the
great need for homes. 1t is esti-
mated that because of the war some
two millions homes failed of con,
struction in the United States dur
ing the past year. The action of
Department of Labor will not only
benefit the discharged service men
by affording the opportunity to
avail themselves OF the plans and
estimates for home building, but
will assist the public in general to
hurry construction on much-needed
buildings, to say nothing Of the
saving that will be made in money.

Dear Editor and its many readers:
1t has been some time since
gave few dots from this part of
the world and my friends keep
writing me to come again. / don't
know any news af interest, but will
say we are still having winter here.
There was a big snow on the ground
yesterday morning when we got up,
but it has all melted off except on
the mountains. This has been an
unusually cold winter here and one
big snow after another one. We
have had three weeks of spring like
weather but it has turned cold
again.
No sign of the fruit buds bloom
ing out yet but it may get killed
by late freezes. Most every one
has his gardens planted but no
farming done yet. They are working
on their bitches getting ready to
turn the water in them and then
they will fix 10 plant their crops.
This is an irrigation country They
don't have to wait for rain nor
neither does it rain too much. We
plant and water the crops when
they need it.
Well. see in the paper where
some of the boys are returning there
several have returned here. If you
all remember | told you there was
about thirty boys gone out of my
S. S. class. Well, ten of them will
never return. Their graves are
somewhere in France. Some of
them were killed and some died of
diseases.
Now cousin Walter we are going
" look for you this summer and
you were mistaken about seeing my
picture, for that was my sister
Come again Bluebird, | did not
know who you were till we got your
letter. And Kate and | sure would
like to be there and see you step
out of school. About fifteen girls
will graduate here this spring but
no boys.
We are fixing for an Easter pro-
gram in our Sunday School Easter
Sunday.
Come Grandpa Flynt and go fish
ing with us, lots of water in the
rivers now from melted snow in the
mountains. / am sure we would
catch lots of fish. They just about
have the new bridge completed
across the river here.
Well, will close and wish you
all happy Easter.
