Embattled American
Farmer of Year 1917
Tlm«» change. In the Revolution*
wy war it was the “embattled farm¬
ers" who fired the shot heard round
tb£ wOrld.
Today the American farmer is again
doing something that will be heard
found the world, but In a different
way.
The world is waiting on the Amer¬
ican farmer for its food, its hope is in
him. It wishes him good weather end
abundant crops, and it will pay him
well.
The farmer will help win battles
that be will never see. For our boye
at the front will be well fed and cour¬
ageous, thanks to hie industry and
patriotism.
Nor is ths farmer's part in this world
war—in this greatest catastrophe his¬
tory has ever had to record—limited to
producing food. He has his part to
play before crops are ready for har¬
vest. For right now, the nation needs
the farmer’s support in a different
way. It needs his co-operation on Lib¬
erty bonds.
These bonds are issued to equip our
soldier boys with everything they will
need for their safety, comfort and
fighting strength. The government will
pay every bond buyer 3*4 per cent in¬
terest, free from all taxes, and will re¬
turn to him the entire principal. Lib¬
erty bonds are a sate, sure, profitable
investment,
It Is the hope of President Wilson
that not a single farmer in the coun¬
try will be seen without a Liberty
bond button in his buttonhole.
Make The Almighty Dollar
Always Work For Liberty
Germany, Europe, the world, is
watching the United States right now
—more than ever before—awaiting
news on the sale of Liberty bonds. Un¬
less this bond issue is greatly over¬
subscribed by* American men end
women before June 15, Germany will
sneer at all our high sounding words
about freedom, justice and the rights
of mankind. In her eyes the almighty
dollar will be our idol, and all our
patriotism will be branded as hollow
talk.
For nea^Ty three years our news¬
papers, statesmen, preachers and edu¬
cator! have constantly declared that
America has high ideals, that we
stand tor liberty, that we love man
kind, that we bate tyranny, that we
are alow to wrath, but mighty when
aroused. Well, the time has come to
prove whether these fine sayings are
true. *
Our government now puts us to the
test. We are iu the war. War takes
money, and the government proposes
to raise money by selling Liberty
bonds to t£e American people The
question is* now up to you. You can
buy on bond tot $50, or as many more
as you desire. Liberty bonds are a
perfectly safe investment.
The hour for American manhood and
womanhood to act haa come. It is
here now, Subscribe at once for your
Liberty bonds.

A $7,000,000,000 OFFER
The U. S. Government Loan is really a monster order
which the Government of the United Etates will place with
the merchants, farmers, manufacurers, and all business
men. '
?It all comes back to us in the shape of purchases of
supplies. This means that the whole business machinery
of the country will run at a higher speed than ever before.
This loan itself would be a mighty stimulus to hundreds
of lines of business—foodstuffs, and all useful products.
Now is the time to stop listening to idle talk. We must
be up and doing. Every effort we can muster must be ex¬
erted toward utilizing and developing the great resources of
the country.
We must plant more, grow more, harvest more, build
more, sell more. Be bigger and better business men bjr—
“DO MORE!”
There is one thing every man, woman, and child In
America can do to help and that is—do the thing you are
doing now better. Work harder, work longer, and make,
your work produce more.
Upon the farmers of the United States is laid the great¬
est obligations. From the soil they must wrest more than
they have ever before harvested. And of course they will
continue to get the highest prices in history for the products
they grow.
This $7,000,000,000 Government order means greater
National prosperity. Business is good now and will be bet¬
ter as fast as this Government order is turned into produc¬
tive labor.
Why not “be prepared?” Buy you a farm while yon can
get it at the right price. I have several to offer and will be
glad to show you any time.
