! WHY IT IS 'CZECH0-s L0VAK'
Sounds Awkward, but Really Is the
Only Way to Correctly Express
What Is Meant

Speaking Of the awkward cognomen
of "Czecho-Slovak,' the Independent

The old familiar name Bohemia" has,
like the name Serbia" q territorial

is too small to cover the clinical en-

nationality Is founded. The Slovak
Language is only dialeticauy different
from the Czech or Bohemian, but the
differences were purposely intensified
during the nineteenth century to keep
the Hungarian branch of the race
apart from the Austrian. Even in
America Sloyak and Czech newspapers
are distinct, although either people
can read the other language. Profess

Fifth.

More than ever before the American
farmer finds himself in the position
of comfort and prosperity which is
his just due. Lean years are for him
40 longer. Last year the average Of
| farm earnings broke all records. Six
million farms in 1913 produced crops
worth s12,2So,0oO.ooo.
This year it is estimated that a
greater wheat acreage than ever win
be sown. Naturally, the farmer is
making the most of his opportunities.
and with guaranteed wheat prices
and high prices for everything he
grows, the outlook for him is most
encouraging. And Europe will fur
nIsh market for his fat hogs and
steers.
1t would be interesting, if possible,
to assemble comparative statements
of the farmers bank accounts now
and five years ago, and the list OF
mortgages that have been cancelled
And it would be more interesting per
haps to have statement of the Lib
erty Bonds now in the hands of these
tillers of the soil

In every Liberty Loan to date the
farmer, as a class. has bought less
bonds than men in other prosperous
classes. He has been able meantime
to get more sugar and everything
else upon which the government put

The big question now, when he
stands to cash in at Is per cent
premium upon his wheat crop, is what
is he going to do next Liberty Loan

Some Liberty Loan officials are
suggesting that the farmer should
buy a 800 bond for each 100 bushels
of wheat he sells to the government,
He has made the profit and should
have no hesitancy in taking a high
grade security in payment for the diff
ference between what the govern
ment gets and what he receives for
