How Rich We Are The people of the United States pride them selves on their national wealth.

-
The Treasury Department, in giving publicity
to the Libery Loan, calls attention to the item ized factors of our wealth.
There are twice as many cattle and swine in the United States as in any other country, with a total value of live stock products of more than
$4,000,000,000.
Our corn crop is ten times greater than that
of any other country.
Our wheat crop, though not all we had hoped
for, is bigger than that of any rival.
Our cotton output is more 'than half the
, world's supply.
Our coal production of nearly half a billion tons is twice that of Great Britain, our nearest
Our oil production of nearly 300,000,000 bar
rels is twice that of Russia, which ranks second. Our output of iron and steel is twice that of Germany, our nearest rival. We produce more copper than all of the remainder of the world put together. In manufactured goods last year, our output was more than $36,000,000,000. Our balance of exports over imports amounted to over $3,000,000,000. Our gold reserve of about $3,000,000,000 is more than one-third of the world's total. Our wealth is more than $2,000 for every man, woman and child in the country. Our railroad mileage is more than double that of all Europe. . . The total wealth of Great Britain, France and Germany amounts to $227,500,000,000. That of the United States aggregates $250,000,000,000.
ity of duties. War means supreme sacrifice to
every able-bodied citizen, including men, women and children.
The tremendous preparation which the government is making to bring this awful war to a
successful close means the expenditure of billions
of dollars.
There are millions of dollars deposited in the banks by the farmers of this country which are earning them little or nothing. The Liberty Loan bonds offered by our government bear 4 percent interest.. The Liberty Loan bonds are absolutely a safe investment. Every dollar not required for our business should be ready for prompt purchase of these bonds. This is no sacrifice, it is a profit
able investment for you. It is helping your country and protecting your home and your business. I am particularly anxious that the American farmer should subscribe generously to this second Liberty Loan. He has responded nobly to the call for increased crops and a hint to. him that his money is needed also, will lead, I am sure, to the same unselfish devotion to his nation. The farmer must not neglect this duty. Our country needs his financial assistance, and for his own welfare he should be generous with his wealth.

The Soldier's Risk
The Farmer's Duty (By W. D. Hoard, Editor, Hoard's Dairyman) Our liberty has been attacked on sea and on land, our freedom and institutions have been threatened, and our nation placed in jeopardy. Our soldiers are called to arms and are marching to the front; our good women are devoting themselves to Red Cross work, and civilians everywhere are aiding the government in its multiplic-

caught step and swung across the courthouse yard toward the railroad station where they would take
a train for their cantonment. The band played, the crowd cheered, and all those present to nearly every one of whom one or more of those marching boys was an intimate figure, known time out of mind by his nicknamefelt that they .were experiencing one of life's high moments. And as the crowd began to disperse a middle-aged professional man, who ought to have known better, remarked somberly to his companion: "All the same, when they step aboard a transport for France they can kiss themselves good-by." A bald statement that ten million men have been killed in this war almost inevitably gives an exaggerated
idea of its deadliness, because the proportion is left out of i account. "That statement has given rise to all sorts of j grotesque mortality reports many of them innocent, but some of them undoubtedly malicious by which it would appear that the life of a soldier at the Front was only aj matter of so many weeks or months. A child ought to ) know that such grisly reports can have no relationship whatever to the facts. Say we now have a million men under arms, all in! good health and of an average age of twenty-five. Say J peace comes tomorrow and those men return to nonhazardous civil occupations. Eight thousand of them wiU
surely die within a year. Mortuary statistics covering many years show that indubitably. Among those of them who engage in hazardous occupations the ratio will be higher. , - By exactly what figure war will multiply that ratio no one can pretend to tell. But it is a fact that the mortality rate on the Western Front has been decreasing for some time; that eighty-five percent or more of the wounded recover full physical efficiency; and that if a million Americans were engaged at the Front throughout 1918 the death rate for the United States that year would still be decidedly lower than it was in 1900. It is a deadly and terrible business; but gross exaggerations of it3 deadliness are superfluous cruelty.

Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON
"Who Is Nellie?" "Who is Nellie?" I fondly believed that my voice held only ordinary interest. "If this coffee is made after her recipe I'd like to meet her." Into Dicky's eyes there crept the mischievous dancing look which I have learned means that he is enjoying some jest of his own making. "Nellie is a "lady," he paraphrased sonorously. . "She Is also one of the best models an artist ever was blessed with." "A model " I said faintly. My Ideas of models had been gleaned from stories and magazine jests. I always had realized vaguely that Dicky must employ feminine models, but our courtship and marriage had been such a whirlwind affair that Dicky's work had not entered into It. I realized now that I had never seen Dicky's studio, and that he had never asked me to see it. Why? . The maddening little question then slipped into my brain and curled down in an unused cell to come out later and torment me. "A model." Dicky returned, "and one of the most interesting women I know. She has a mysterious past that nobody ever has been able to fathom, although all of us have tried hard enough, at one time or another. I think she Is a widow, although no one really knows. But she is a bully good scout, always trying to do some little favor for us. Many is the time she has seen to it that I had lunch when without her I would have gone all day without stopping to eat." "Is she attractive?" I hated myself for the question. My brain must be addled from the headache. "Oh, a winner!'" Dicky returned, smiling. "The boys are all quite mad about her, but she is very Impartial. She distributes smiles and coffee, mending and cough drops to us alike, the just and the unjust. I am quite proud, however. She told me once I was the nicest gentleman In all the studios." The quotation jarred upon me. This
girl, whoever she was, must be quite common and underbred. Doubtless she was beautiful, however.. I understood i
models had to be. How I wondered 1 was baiiy ruptured while lifting trunk for which one of Dicky's numerous se"ra'ya .. doctors aid my only hope of

brimful of mischief. A tall, comely colored woman, distinctly middle-aged, with a most infectious smile, was holding out her arms to a toddling pickaninny, while around her several other woolly-headed youngsters beamed with pride at the baby. "This is Nellie," he said whimsically, and then, bending over me, he kissed me tenderly. "It was a shame to tease you, Madge; but you are usually so calm and indifferent that I couldn't resist getting a rise out of you. Can you finish your dinner now?" "I've never stopped eating it," I returned with spirit. But Dicky laughed teasingly. He was in high good humor when he left me, after seeing to it that I finished every bit of the food he had ordered at such expense. "A man from the hotel will come for the tray after a while," he said as he was ready to go. "Thank you so much, Dicky, for the dinner," I replied. "I can't imagine now that I ever had a headache." "Confess, now, it would have come back with interest if I hadn't revealed the fact that Nellie was as black as the ace of spades." "Don't be foolish, Dicky," I said shortly, and his ringing laugh came back to me as he closed the door. I sat down to a humiliating halfhour's thought. It Isn't a bad idea at times to "loaf and Invite your soul," and then cast up account with it. My account looked pretty discouraging. Dicky and I had been married a little over two weeks. Two weeks of idiotically happy honeymooning, and then the last three days of quarrels, reconciliations, jealousies, petty bickerings and the shadow of real issues between us. Was this marriage heights of happiness, depths of despair, with the humdrum of petty differences between? One thing I resolved, my cheeks flushing hotly. I would never allow myself to give way again to the

petty jealous curiosity which had prompted my inquiries about Nellie. Dicky's jest had taught me a sharp lesson.' I might have cause for real jealously in my life with Dicky. I would not waste my emotions on lesser things.
