FARMERS INVEST INLUBOiS AND SAVE NATION

BACK UP YOUR BOY IN TRENCHES BY LOANING UNCLE m SAM mon.:y. At HIT A BLOW FOR FREEDOM Futura of America Dependt on Men Who Till Soil Put Your Savings in the Safest Place4 in World. This is a patriotic appeal to farmers. Your sons have gone to France to fight freedom's battles. But it hag not been brought home to'you that it is the duty of those who remain at home to support the government and thereby back up the soldiers in the r 6 vi"! . spare. Your duty does not end when you increase production so the fighting men may be fed. Unless every American citizen does his patriotic duty in purchasing Liberty Bonds Uncle Sam cannot clothe, feed, equip and maimtaän the army in the field. One the of strongest arguments advanced in defending the farmer for not halving bought Liberty Bonds more heavdly in the first two issues is that he wjos doing for his country more than his share in investing money in the effort to increase production than could have been done in lending the money to the government. The argument is good in so far ai it goes, but it does not go far enough. The farmer is not 'the only producer who is helping the.nation by speeding up production, ijrery manufacturer who contributes to the vast array of supplies necessary for the comfort, health and success of the men in the trenclues fighting the most cruel and heartless foe civilization ever faced migbt make the same claim. And if it was allowed what would become of the Liberty Loan? Why have many farmers not yet invested in Liberty Boxids so freely as others? Because, owjng to the comparative isohition of farm life, they nave not caught the patriotic infection which leads . others, in city and town, to put theirhast cent into bonds and to buy them on credit at the banks amd, pay for them out of their persons must understand that Uncle Sam is calllne for neilp. The government aüoeals for & loau from the farmer and. all other patriotic citizens. Lives will be saved by every dollar a farmer 'invests in a Liberty Bond. The war will be shortened and disaster will be rendered impossible. No class of American citizens has a more glorious page in the history of America than the man who tills the soil. Once he Is aroused to the dirt need of the country he will invest every spare dollar in Liberty Bonds. No class of citizens is more interested in the outcome of the war than are farmers. Farming cannot be carried on with, the ocean closed to commerce. The highways of the sea must be safe or the farmer cannot safely engage in growing his crops and raising stock. There are enough retired farmers enjoying from their lands annual Incomes smaller than they would receive if they would invest in Liberty Bonds. Farmers, do you know that $10,000 invested in Liberty Bonds will pay the owner a better return for his money than if he invested it in farm I Rn n q uni ronfoH lnn i-v know that the bondowner may bor- I row luore freeiv nn th tiö Kow I than he can upon lands? Do you know that no investment can compare in security and safety with government bonds? The cause of freedom needs every cent that farmers can raise to send tho soldiers to France equipped, fed, protected, to destroy Prussian militarisra, break the power of the saber rattlers of Potsdam and bring peace to the. world. When it comes to duty the farmer must stand shoulder to shoulder with iis fellows. The fate of the nation is at stake. The future of civilization hangs in the balance. A-rouse, farmers of America, and strike a mighty blow for liberty, for Justice, for freedorr and for peace.

STAY-AT-HOMES NOW

ITT ' Uin AUm D..w. I lk.14.1 BriMI I "H in0 His Blt.M The time is fast approaching when all of us "stay-at-homes" will again have an opportunity to ervt our country. Just because we are too old or too young, or have dependents, does not mean that we cannot be soldiers and help to win this great fight for democracy and freedom. The Third Liberty Loan, which will Start April 6, will be tht greatest opportunity for patriotic service that ha been offered those of ui who still remain in civil life. The work to float It will ba great. With the approach of what all tht world is convinced is the crisis in thU .war, the need of a great showing of unity and strength on tht part of America has become so imperative that probably the way in which this country meets this duty will constitute the deciding factor in the war. The Third Libert. Loan ii the me dium through which better than in any ! er way America mlna in physical strength can be thrown into the weight of battle against Germany. A huge Liberty Loan in this country means discouragement to Germany any encouragement to our allies. It means funds to equip, feed and train our soldiers. It means support ajid comfort for our men in the trenches. It means money for ships, and it means an ample reservoir of financial credit out of which all things required by the brotherhood of nations against autocratic militarism can be obtained to drive forward this year with their maximum strength and bring the horrors of the world war to an early end. The man who at home buys a Liberty Bond performs as efficient an act Qf war as the man in khaki who pulls a trigger io his trench In France. It is all the more a home man's duty to perform this act, since he is not undergoing the discomfort and tht danger that raises the soldier's service to tht heroism that should Inspire us at home with a full appreciation of the part vt must play. LIBERTY BONDS BRING CITIZENS REAL THRIFT Mllliont Doing Patriotic Duty Find Thtrnatlves Financial Galnera, Before the government began io Issue tht Liberty Bonds there wert Its than 600,000 bondholders in tht United States. Now there art more thaa 12,000,000. Soon thert will be many mora millions to learn now simple it is to put $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 Into a safe bond that will bring 4, 4 or 1 per cent a regularly as the year roll around, besides returning tht full amount invested at date of maturit. There Is no risk as in any other kinöl of investment, and no taxes to pay. An investor that holds a mortgaga on a house must bother about insur ance, repairs, and must personally collect interest and principal. On a Liberty Bond It is only necessary to tearoff a little coupon twice a year, which; will be cashed by any bank or trust company. Moreover, if money Is Invested la a. mortgage on a house, whatever happens, the mortgage stands for onc two, three years, or whatever period was originally fixed. If money is put Into a Liberty Bond the principal can be recovered any day in tht year. Therefore, when a farmer, a mechanic, a doctor, a lawyer or any other citizen buys a Liberty Bond he not only is putting money into the one safeInvestment in the world but ht becomes a patriot just as surely as thesoldier who shoulders a gun. But he ri8ks nothln' whlIe man in offors hiB life a living sacrifice khaki ing sacrifice uooa the altar of freedom. Tht future of the nation depend upon Liberty Bond buyers.
