MUST PROVIDE FOOD
Duty D%evoIving on Farmers Of
This Continent.
Western Canada Well Prepared to
Meet the Needs Of the Old World
"The Earth Is a Machine Which
Yields Almost Gratuitous Service to
Every Application Of Intellect
Emerson,

Speaking with one of the commits
sioners appointed to make a survey Of
the food situation in the battle-torn
countries of Europe the writer was
told that the depletion and shortage
Of food was far greater than anybody
had expected. With the investigation,
which at that time had merely started,
much had been brought to light that
had only been surmised. Herds of live
stock were completely wiped out, fields
that had been prolific yielders of grain,
roots and vegetables were terraced and
hummocked by bombs and shells,
many of them still lying unexploded
and dangerous. Until this land can be
gone over and cleaned nothing in the
way of cultivation can be carried on,
and even where that is done the work
of leveling and getting under cultiva-
ton will take a long time.
Much.more devolves upon the farmer
on this side of the Atlantic than was
at first supposed. Herds Of live stock
will have to be replenished, and this
will take years; the provisioning of
the people in the meantime is the task
the farmers here will be asked to u1L
dertake. Producing countries will be
taxed to their utmost to meet this de-
mand; all that can be provided will
be needed. This need will continue
for some time. and during this period
prices will be high. The opinion of
those who have given the question
most careful thought and study is that
food scarcity will be greater than ever
before. The Allies will have to feed
Germany, Austria, Turkey and Russia
and this in addition to the require
ments Of European neutrals for in
reased supplies now that there is no
submarine menace.
To the Canadian and American farm
er this mean a demand for his grain
fully as great as at any time in the
past. Wheat will be needed, meat will
be required. The slogan don't stop
saving food" is as necessary today as
ever. The purpose of this article is to
direct attention to the fact that hun
dreds of thousands of acres of land
In Western Canada are still unoccu-
pied, and this lane is capable of pro-
ducing enough to supply all needs. On
Its rich grasses are easily raised-and
cheaply too-the cattle that will be
sought in its soil lies the nutriment
that makes easy the production of the
grain that will be needed, and in both
the farmer will be assured of a good
profit on his investment. The land can
be purchased at low prices. on easy
terms, and with the abundance of re-
turns that 1t will give, it does not mean
a matter of speculation. The facts as
set out are known, and certainly are
guaranteed.
These facts, the low. cost Of the land,
and its great productivity, combined
with 1.-THE admirable marketing and
transport facilities at the disposal OF
the farmer make farming in Western
Canada an attractive proposition.-Ad-

PROFESSORS OF FINANCE WARN
 NO BANK LOAN
U. of C. and Stanford Experts Point the Way to Sound
 Reconstruction Finance

The banks of the United States must be left free to finance the reconstruc. tion of productive enterprise and must not be cluttered up with the Victory Liberty Loan. That is the composite, thought-out opinion of two of the Vests most noted professors of finance, Carl C. Plehn. professor Of finance in the University of California and Murray l.. Wildman, head of the department of economies and finance of Stanford University. Both agree that the money needed to finish paying for thu war should not come out of working capital, but should be raised out of individual savings of humble and wealthy.
 If the people take the Loan, as they must" Professor Plehn says, 'the banks will be left free to lend to the manufacturer, the farmer, the grocer, the butcher, and the baker, so that they can get busy again on a peace time basis. Then production and busi ness will grow and, by the formula prices will come to normal If we leave 1t to the banks they will have no funds left for business, big or lit. tie. We, ourselves, will not profit and the day of our redemption will only be postponed"
 Professor Wildman, whose ability caused him to be called from Stan ford to Washington for war finance service, agrees with the California economist, adding: Tt would be a grave mistake to saddle the banks of the country with the Victory Loan at this time"
 When two professors agree, it's time to sit up and take notice, When two professors not only agree with each other but agree with the Govern ment, that settles 1t. Finance is their business particularly Government finance. They have spent their lives studying 1t and are paid good salaries for teaching the principles of 1t to the men who are going to run the nation tomorrow.
 Finance Is not the business of the wiseacre who screws down the cor ners of his mouth and says. Let the banks do it." Better take the advice of scientists who know.

CANNY DOCTOR PUMPS FRIEND
 AND PROFITS
San Francisco Physician Lets Patients Pay Him in Bonds
 Rather Than Cash at Par

This reads or tastes or looks like the foam of a press agents brew. But it isn't. It actually happened although 1t is propaganda.
 There is a physician and surgeon of high professional standing in San Francisco who. if he wasn't Irish, would be Scotch. He is that canny.
 The other day he met a friend of his, stock and bond expert. Doc" as his friends call him, is always look ing for information He pumps every body and they like him, for 1t. So the bond man wasn't bit surprised when Doc" shot this at him:
 How about the next Liberty Loan 1t it going to get over?"
 ''It sure will" replied the bondman. Its going to be the last and the best of the Liberty Loans."
 Advise me to load up?" persisted Doe" .
 'I sure do-best security in the world-year from now it will be worth half again as much as you pay" ..
 Well, I figured 1t out that way my self" confessed the physician. "Of course I was going to buy anyway, but I think I'll strain everything a bit and really load up"
 Suppose you've got previous is- sues?" asked the bondman.
 Sure, and what's more I'm still pill. ing those Liberty bonds up. Every time patient offers them in payment I grab them. They look good to me-"
 You're wise guy-hang onto them, Doc. I've got a few myself. Gotta date with the wife-so long"

SUICIDE CLUB SOLDIER LETS
 OLD CAT OUT
Joe Rooney, Machine Gunner, Tells What Was Behind
 Doughboys' Punch

Private. first class, Joseph E. Rooney of San Francisco was at Camp Lewis last summer. He wanted to get to France. He had almost given up hope when at Retreat one day Captain x, his company commander, said:
 Does any man here want to volun- teer for the. machine guns? It's a chance to get to France"
 Rooney stepped out with about six other strapping fellows of the West. Captain x looked them over.
 You understand. men, that you are joining a suicide club?"
 He got no answer and his eyes twinkled because he knew that they knew.
 Those fellows got to France in a hurry. Rooney is one of the survivors of that half dozen but even he was shot up in the Argonne and Is over there yet He Is with the 347th Machine Gun Battalion of the Ninety first Division and has been cited for bravery in action.
 His sister wrote a cheering letter which he received in hospital and here Is what Joe wrote back to her:
 Tt Is surely fine to hear how the folks at home appreciate my efforts. It was the thought and love for his folks at home that made the American boy fight so hard"
 Tn that one sentence lies the secret
 Il Rooney in his modest way let the cat out of the bag
 Those American boys" want the folks at home to stay with them yet while. It will bring tears to their eyes when the cables carry this mes sage: America has oversubscribed the Victory Liberty Loan"
 For they will know that the folks at home are still with them.

Thomas C. Atkeson, Washington, D. C., representative of the National Grange. Patrons of Husbandry, has sent a statement to the officers of every farm grange in the United States appealing for support of the Victory Loan His statement to the farmers of the country says in part:
 There lies just outside the doors of the American farmer a hungry world, world which needs all our products. American farming rests on the safe basis of need and service. The investment of the hard earned dollars of the American farmer in the Victory Liberty Loan is safe invest ment with certainty of fair return, And the money will come back into circulation, making more business, in creasing the market and demand for farm products, and increasing pros perity. Buying in the Victory Liberty Loan will make the farmers Victory Liberty Prosperity men. Do your part to put the Victory Liberty Loan over the top.
 Make your investment in the Vic tory Liberty Loan the measure of your confidence in American institutions and that democracy for which your sons offered the supreme sacrifice; a symbol of your determination that the war shall not have been fought in vain; an offering of thanksgiving for peace'

American Delegates in Paris Sent Victory Message
 to Nation

Four members of the American peace mission in France, Secretary of State Robert Lansing, Col E. M House, General Tasker N. Bliss and Henry White, have sent this message to the American people urging support of the Victory Loan:
 ITO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE:
 We have had the opportunity here in France to see and realize the mag. nitude of the accomplishment of our country in this war and the magnificent spirit with which this great task has been carried through to a triumphant issue.
 What has been done and what re- mains to be done before normal con- ditions are restored demand your con- tinued and united support with the same spirit of self sacrifice and of de- termination as that which was mani fested by the nation while the German armies faced our men at the Marne, and in the Champagne, at St. Mihiel and in the Argonne. We must not re- lax our efforts until every soldier of the republic is landed on the soil of America.
 ''To finish this mighty task imposes upon the government of the United States a great financial burden. The Victory Liberty Loan must thrive. If it should fail it would indicate that the Nation Is willing to leave its task un- completed. #..
 TO secure the ideals for which Americans fought and died this great demand on national patriotism and united effort should meet a generous and universal response Let us do our duty to the end.

eyes betrayed him. He was merely
waving his arms to keep up his cour-
