THE FARMER AND THE LIBERTY LOAN:— I In an appeal to Indiana farmers to ‘lend a hand' on the third Liberty Lx>an campaign in Indiana, and to begin planning tor their part in the cam ( paign that will start April 6, the Treasury department, through its Liberty Loan publicity bureau in Chicago, today gave out the following statement to the Central Western states: “Too little has been said since America entered this war of the patriotism of the farmer in the middle west. There are today in Indiana, Illinois and lowa thousands of farmers holding on their land hogs to be fattened when their corn could be sold at top prices in Chicago. These farmers , have responded to the call for pork , and at a personal loss, are feeding ( high priced grain that the nation and , the soldiers in France may have their j ham and bacon. There are more than . 600,000.000 hogs in the country today, } while one year ago there were not r more than 450.000,000. , “The farmer now is being asked to j subscribe to the third Liberty latan. a There is no doubt in the minds it j those who know the fanner best th it he w ill subscribe liberally. The man who willingly sacrifices ids profits j that the nation and its soldiers may v be fed will not shirk when is it a que. • h tion of giving his money to the cause v of democracy. ~ “The farmer in the middle west was for years a borrowing man. This was M a new country and capital was need- c cd to develop it. In the last few years ri thanks to good crojis and high prices, ‘‘

the farmer is in a position to lend in stead of borrow. He is out of deat and has money in the bank. “The government today is asking for funds and offer- a liberal rate of interest. The purchase of a Liberty bond invests the farmer's surplus capital advantageously and with excellent security. "Every farmer knows help is hard to get and hard to keep and that it is getting expensive these days. Often the fanner’s son has gone away to war. or his neighbor's son has gone. Longer hours are necessary in the field and around the barn. ‘“The longer this war lasts, the harder it is going to tie to obtain farm help and the more expensive it is going to lie. The quicker the government at Washington is provided with motley, men and guns, the quicker will the war come to an end and the boys return to the farm. We have given the

men It is now up to us to provide' the money. The purchase of liberty bonds will hasten the ending of the war.” We call your attention to the tact that we are making a special effort t< ecure the name and military address of each Adams county soldier nowserving It is a more difficult job than you imagine unless you try it The names so far as we have been able to gather them, will be published tomorrow and you are asked to report the names of any mis=ing, with proper addresses and to luraisb the ad-dre-s with regiment or battalion where you notice we have omitted it The list will be published again a week later and it is hoped by that tiuse to have it correct Drop us a card or call at this office or notify M • P. Marsh. This L« very important for the list is often needed and is wanted for future use in many ways. The committee is now preparing a monster county service flag to be used in the demonstration April 6th and elsewhere over the county during the Liberty Loan campaign and we want every boy represented. Please help us perfect the list

The Liberty Loan organization is beng completed with men and women •aplains for each township who will lave lieutenants in each school disrict and with captains for each pre:inct in the city and lieutenants for ■ach block. In addition to this there vill be members of the publicity comuittee in each township and it is asured that every citizen is going to lave patriotism preached to him as ever before during the next few reeks. Get into the game and you’ll ke it. We are in the back trenches nd we must support the boys in the -ont line. The democratic primary is warmi up and it is important that along ith your duty to your nation you elp to select those men as candidates ho can and will best serve you. Please keep on asking yourself hich you prefer, a bond or a tax rt?ipt? You must choose with the ;st of the people of this nation du",g the Liberty Loan drive.
