CLAD TO PAY
COST OF PEACE
Millions of Lives Saved by Vast
Military Preparation of Our
Government.
FOE KNEW AND QUIT COLD
These Life-Savine Bills Must Be Paid
and the Boys Brought Back
to the Country They
Love.

"The price of peace" of which the
Victory loan is but a part, is large. but
not nearly so large as 1t would have
been had the war been fought to the
humiliation of the German armies
as our military leaders believed would
be necessary, Had the war lasted as
long as these leaders anticipated, hun
dreds of thousands Of American youths
and millions more of their allies would
have been called upon to pay the SUI
preme sacrifice.
That they were not forced TO give
their lives is in no small measure due
to our governments preparations to
crush the enemy completely. The in
dustry as well as the man power of
the nation was called into the govern
ment service. and great war machine
was created which the German general
staff saw meant complete humiliation
for their forces If they fought on, so
they quit.

The Efficiency of Advertising

What would be the business condi-
ton in place where the merchants
had never formed the habit of adver-
Using, if such could be found?
The first characteristic of such a
place, would be an absence of com
petitive spirit. The incentives to
activity and hustle would be removed.
II merchant made a special effort,
and as result of his energy, fore
thought and enterprise, secured lot
OF goods representing exceptionally
good values. he could not hope to sell
them. Without advertising, the pub
lice would not know he had them.
Without advertising, the public
would continue to buy of merchants
where they had always bought before.
regardless of the fact that in some
other place they could take advantage
of specially favorable opportunity.
The result of a community policy Of
non-advertising, therefore, is to dis
courage enterprise, and to encourage
distributors to continue along in the
same ruts year after year.

POTATO DISEASES
ARE CAUSING AN II i
IMMENSE Loss
LARGE PERCENTAGE OF MICHT-
GAN CROP CAN BE SAVED BY
EASY SEED TREATMENT

A loss CT from 10 to 25 per cent of
Michigan's potato crop has been suf-
fered during the last few years from
preventable diseases, declares Prof.
G.. HI. Coons, plant pathologist of M.
A. c., at Lansing. Potato scab and
Black Scurf (Rhizoctonia disease)
are two diseases causing the most SER
ious losses.
Easy and inexpensive treatment of
the seed can be relied on to control
the diseases In question, provided the
potatoes are to be planted on soil
which has not been used for potatoes
for three or four years. The treat
ment consists essentially in soaking
seed tubers in disinfectant solution,
formaldehyde and corrosive sublimate
being used.
The formaldehyde treatment is eff
fective for Potato Scab but not for
Black Scurf. If the potatoes are
sorted to get rid of all that are in
fected with the Black Scurf (Which
shows up in the form of dirt like
blemishes on the skim the Tornado

factory. The seed should be soaked
for from Is minutes to an hour and a
half IN a solution made with one pint
formaldehyde to 30 gallons of water.
The corrosive sublimate treatment
is preferred by most growers because
OF the fact that it gets both diseases.
Seed potatoes should be soaked in a
solution made with ounces of Cor
rosive Sublimate and 80 gallons of
water, for from 80 minutes to an
hour and one half. Corrosive Sub
Innate is trifle expensive, $500
worth being required to treat about
20 to 80 bushels of seed. It is also
deadly poison and must be handled
IN glass or wooden vessels. Corros-
i've Sublimate loses strength as it is
used and must be replenished with
poison. In spite of this it is the fav-
or1te method with farmers, because

Our merchant marine was growing
at the rate of 100000 tons dead weight
per month when the war ended, and
we were turning out about 10000 air

German spies found this out. Ger
man spies knew that the U-boat had
failed because of the barrage of mines
that the British and American navies
had strung across the North sea. Ger
man spies sent word to the general
staff that i'm spite of their best efforts
TO check the Americans at the home
base. they were outgeneraled. SO the
German staff learned that the Ameri-
cans had thrown their unlimited re-
sources into the scales with the allies,
and the German staff turned "yellow"
and quit.
That mighty preparation of which
the above is but fragmentary tale, is
the reason why the Victory Liberty
loan is the last of the war loans. Had
the war gone on there would have
