Few will question the patriotism of
the American farmer.
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 heme, our boys
In the trenches and our allies.
But It is a3 necessary to finance lib
erty as It is to fight for It, or to feed
those who fight.
Because all of this ie true and be
cause he can afford It on account of
the prices he Is receiving for his prod
!t 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 hi6 dollars to fight for him, real
Izing every day that he has done his
best and that full credit will be given
him.
