LIBERTY BOND CRITICS

The trouble lies not with the Lib
erty Bond but with the treatment ac-
corded it, says Modern Farming, in
replying to a subscriber who COM
planned bitterly because Modern
Farming had urged holders to keep
their bonds and buy more. The sub
scriber declared that "a yelled threat
of dire consequences to all who would
not buy" persuaded him to become a
bond holder and when he desired to
sell his $50 bond he could get but $45
for it.
This same farmer subscriber"
continues Modern Farming in its an
swer, would not expect his agricul-
tural operations to do what he expects
the Liberty Bond to do. Suppose he
invested $50 in good corn, fertilizer
and labor, then, short time later he
needed some money. Would this
farmer expect to be able to sell his
partly grown crop of corn for as much
money as he had put into it, labor in
Guided? No; he would realize that in
order to come out even, let alone
make a profit, he must carry the crop
to maturity.
Maturity" Pay particular atten.
ton to that word. Repeat it. Matur-
ity of the corn crop makes possible
the realization of return of money
invested, with a possible profit if the
season has been favorable.
Selling the Liberty Bond before its
maturity is comparable to selling the
corn crop when partially grown.
"The farmer VINO bought Liberty
Bond should regard his action as that
of planting a crop which should be
ready to harvest on the maturity date
indicated on the bond. 1t is not good
business judgment to expect to real
ize the maximum benefits from this
crop until it is ready to harvest. II
it becomes absolutely necessary tc
sell this crop (bondD before the har
vest time, then he must regard him
self as being somewhat at the mercy
of the buyer, and must expect tc
make some sacrifice.
| ''The good business method, in case
money is required, is to use the Lib
erty Bond as security for loan al
the bank. Then the accrued interest
which our subscriber refers to would
still work to the advantage of the
original owner, reducing the cost O
money from the bank, and enable hin
to hold on for the final benefits a
harvest time.
1T Is easy to sit back and tall
about the possibility Of changing sup
posed fniquities, but unless such tall
is backed up by constructive sugges
lions for its accomplishment, it is bu
destructive criticism"

BODY KILLED BY RATTLESNAKE'

Somebody in Georgia, the name Oh
the anxious inquirer not having been
revealed, is sending press clipping
broadcast over Florida in an EFFORT to
find somebody who can declare first
hand knowledge of. some person who
actually died from the bite Of rattle
snake. The inference is that the In
ouirer does not believe that any per-
son ever died from such pishap.

scribes the experience of one Will Nc
Clelland, who while hunting In Flor

two enormous rattlers. 1t would
seem McClelland as in snake county

to kill the third snake, he headed for

Graceful Tribute To Wilson

A graceful tribute to President
Wilson was paid by Gov. Cox,
when. scoring the Republican
platform for absence of "a line
that hreathes emotion of pride in
the nations war achievements.
he said that while soldiers fell in
the trenches Mr.. Wilson was
broken in the enormous labor of
his Office"
The Republican proposal for
separate peace, Gov. Cox declared.
would be the most disheartening
event in civilization since the
Russians made their separate
peace with Germany" Citing
difficulties in the plan, Gov. Cox
said>if accomplished mo nation in
good standing would have any
thing to do with either of us"
This plan would not only be a
piece of bungling diplomacy, but
plain, unauthorized dishonesty,
as we'll" he said. inyeighing
against any schism with our as
sociated powers.
This act would either be re-
garded as arrant madness or at
tempted international bossism,"

the treaty" Gov. Cox said. pre-
dieting that friends OF the League
would rally TO elect Senate with
the requisite majority for ratifi-
catiCn.
Gov. Cox said the "interpreta-
tions" should state "our interpre-
taiion of the covenant as matter
OF good faith 10 our associates and
as a precaution against any mis-
uhders .sndiag in the future " As
sailing the Lodge reservations as
emasculating, Gov Cox suggested
two specific interpretations, as
outlined several months ago in a
newspaper article. One declared
Americas continuance in the
League should depend upon the
Leagues use only as an agency
for world peace; the other stated
the understanding that this
nation could act only within the
Constitution, declared unalterable
by any treaty.
The door TO other "interpreta-
tons" was left open by Gov. Cox,
but ne said thai the Democratic
platform plank speaks in a firm
resolution against anything that
disturbs the vital principle of the
League.
No room for doubt was left as to
the Governors position on the
League as the preeminent politi-
ca, battle-ground. AS on other sub
jects, he stated his position
squarely.

government is subjected to the
rule of the majority. The public
official who fails to enforce the

principle of majority rule. 1t
would seem unnecessary for any
candidate for the Presidency to
say that he does NOT intend to
violate his oath of office Anyone
who is false to that oath is more
unworthy than the law violator
himself.
Morals cannot easily be pro-
duced by statute" Gov. Cox con-
tinued in passing to plea against
abuse of the writ of injunction.
Regarding woman suffrage, Gov.
Cox urged ratification of the pro-
posed Constitutional amendment,
declaring women ARE entitled to
the privilege of voting as matter
of right, and because they will be
helpful in maintaining wholesome
and patriotic policy"

it," The Republican stand. gener-

as reactionary and, on the League

Gov. Cox said he took up the
Democratic standard "a free man,
unfettered by promises"
I'VE want a change he said,
from the old world of yesterday
where international intrigue made
people mere pawns on the chess
board of war. We want a change
