FIFTEEN MILLION STRONG SUP
PORTERS.

Fifteen million people, mostly Amer
leans, are holders Of the governments
promise to pay them the amount which
they loaned to the government in the
Victory issue. Fifteen million people,
mostly Americans, are ready to stand
back of the government because they
have money invested in it, if for no other
reason. Fifteen million people would re-
sist any movement which had tendency
to disrupt the government and make of
it the prey of the radicals. Fifteen mil
lion people are going to preach the gospel
of Americsnism every chance they get.
Fifteen million people are going to be
good Americans themselves just for the
influence their action will have on good
government, even though they may not
be actuated by other motives.
Therein the Victory loan, as also the
former four loans, is powerful infu-
ence in cementing the people of the
United States more closely together, for
they feel more common interest--espe-
cially those who have money invested in
the government-and they are more
ready to shout for the United States
and to work for the United States, for
they feel themselves more closely con-
cerned as creditors, as part proprietors
of the government,
We are aware that this feeling may
represent the more sordid side of Amer
lean life, somewhat removed from the
patriotic purposes which are the surest
foundation for nation, but we are
aware, too, that the Americans, as well
as other people of the world, cannot di-
vorce themselves entirely from thoughts
of material interests. Where those in
terests are strongly emphasized through
financial cooperation with the govern
ment there is less likelihood of uproot.
ing overturn of society and of estab-
lished institutions. Therefore, there is
reason for satisfaction that approximate
ly II per cent of all the men, women and
children of the United States saw fit to
invest in this Victory loan. When added
to those others who were investors in
previous loans but were not represented
in this, the sum total makes powerful
influence for the maintenance of the gov
eminent through all the turmoil that
may come to it.

FARM BUREAU
Notes for Week Ending May 10.

The Newbury Farmers exchange has
reached the point where it is necessary
for it to enlarge sufficiently to hire a
paid manager to handle its business or
10 become simply a local buying group
for the benefit of few farmers around
the South Newbury shipping point, AS
this portion of the Connecticut valley
from White River Junction to Wells
River is the only section without a
farmers cooperative buying agency
from New London, Conn, to the Cana
dian line and is one of the best farming
sections in the whole valley, it would
seem as though there was good open
ing for such a proposition. The county
agent has been assisting the local ex
change officers to canvass this territory
to get the general feeling of the farmers
in regard to such an organization this
past week All interested are urged to
be present at the annual meeting of the
exchange at Newbury Tuesday evening,
May 90 At this meeting representatives
of the Eastern States exchange will be
present. There is no question but what
such an organization rightly managed
and supported by the farmers can save
the farmers many dollars in the purchase
Of feeds, fertilizers, seeds and other farm
necessities as well as help in securing
better markets for many Of the minor
farm products. Unless 1t does receive
the interest and support of the farmers it
becomes more of hindrance than help.
West Bradford and Wrights Noun
tain Farmers clubs met this past week
Thursday and Friday evenings. Good
attendance and interest marked both
meetings. Many other sections of the
county could well profit by the expe'
rences of these clubs and form groups
for local discussion of the many farm
problems which are bound to arise in
the next few years.

Dr. Macmillan Harden, the German
publicist who during the greater part of
the war has led the conservative and
reasonable thought of the German ma
tion, albeit he had few followers, has
expressed the opinion that the peace
terms which the allies have offered Ger
many are unpleasant TO the greater
part of the people" but are, nevertheless,
nothing more than he had expected.
Moreover, he expresses the opinion that
the allies can force the German govern
ment to sign the treaty because the al
lies still have Germany in an economic
blockade and because they control the
great coal basins on which the Germans
depend for their industries. If the Ger.
man people will look back on the course
of the war they will find that Maxi
milan Harden was a true prophet in
many respects, besides being the leader
