LET US PLEDGE LOYALTY ANEW

By CLIFORD V. GREGORY,

Editor the Prairie Fanner. Farmers this year have been blessed with one of the greatest crops this country has ever raised. Prices are far above normal. This combination of large crops and high prices has made fanners prespesroos to an unusual degree. Our country is fighting the battle for justice and democracy'. It is fighting that our homes, our families and our institutions may be safe for generations to come. Immense amounts of money are needed to finance thewar. We cannot all don the khaki and march to the front but we can all do our bit to finance the great armies we are raising. Let us as farmers subscribe so liberally to the new Liberty Lean that we will set a high mark for the whole nation to follow. Let ns pledge our loyalty anew by sharing our prosperity with Unde Sam. We have now on display the greatest lines of tailoring in the state—the Kahn Tailoring line from Indianapolis, Starrs-Schaefer Co. line from Cincinnati and Majestic line from Chicago. They do make beautiful garments and the prices are reasonable.—Duvall’s Quality Shop, C. KARL DUVALL.
