If there is any man in whom the love of home, the love of liberty, and the love of independence is thoroughly grounded, it is the American farmer. Naturally, therefore, he is the one man more than any other, who will stand firmly behind his Government In making the world safe for Democ racy. The farmer is doing, and will con tinue to do, all in his power in the matter of the production of foods to support our people at home, our boys In the trenches and our allies. But it is as necessary to finance lib erty as it is to fight for it, or to feed those who fight. Because all of this is true and be cause he can afford it on account of the prices he is receiving for his prod ucts, the farmer should be one of the most eager purchasers of Liberty Bonds. He should be willing and glad to share a part of his profits in support of his government in the prosecution of the war. South Avenue.

It should not be necessary to con vince any man of the need of the Gov ernment for his aid. Charity is not asked for, but help; and help of a kind that knows no selfishness. If money is loaned to the Govern ment at a fair rate of interest and repaid at the specified time full value has been returned. The man lending the money always has something on which he can real ize full value at any time he may need money. The man who cannot on account of age, infirmities, dependents, or any other reason enter active service can send his dollars to fight for him, real izing every day that he has done his best and that full credit will be given him.

Perhaps your boy, your brother, your sweetheart, some one you hold dear to your heart, will be called into the war zone to risk his life for free dom, for liberty, for America. War is no picnic, no holiday romp; it is terribly serious business. Victories are almost never won by unfed, "naked, dis heartened troops. Is it your wish that our beys shall have the food, the cloth ing, the arms, the ammunition, the safeguards to reduce their danger to the minimum, to strengthen their spir its. to encourage them to victory ? Then remember that you can help. To maintain and safeguard your boy at the front takes money. Our govern ment needs that money now. To raise it quickly, to make victory sure, to shorten the war, to save your boy and your neighbor's boy, the government asks you to buy one or more Liberty bonds. These bonds can be bought for SSO, SIOO, SSOO, SI,OOO. They pay in terest, they are free from taxes, and you will get back the entire principal. Don't just sit around and wish for vic tory, peace and the safe return of the one you love. Buy as many Liberty bonds as you can and help to make your wishes come true. For every SIOO a German earna, an American earna $250. Put some of that $250 in Kaiser-stopping United 6tates Liberty bonds. Your subscription, please.

NOVELTY IN LINE OF ART i * Wood Cameo Is Approved by Connois seur as Remarkable as Well as Beautiful. “I saw a new thing in the art line, the other day, which surprised me, and, 1 may also say, pleased me,” said a dilettante in a group of kin dred spirits. “It was what the artist called a wood cameo, and it was something I had never seen before. “That it was wood did not appear as it hung on the wall, and I asked him for particulars. It was about a foot square with an oval center con taining a has relief of a Greek god dess. The square was in ebony and mahogany and the head in white wood. “He had secured his cameo effects by first building up his square with the three layers, glued and pressed so tightly that there were no marks of cleavage, and had cut through them exactly as cameo carvers cut through the usual shell cameos. The ebony front was plain, but finely polished, anu the entire effect was excellent. “He told me it was his first fin ished work, though he had been prac ticing for two years, and while he was not entirely satisfied with it. there was considerable consolation to him in the fact that he had an offer of a hundred dollars whenever he wanted to dispose of it.” WOULD ANSWER JUST AS WELL First Mouse—Did you succeed m getting a new tire ?
