FLORIDA BOY SELLS
PAPERS TO BUY BONDS
JOHN T. MAXWELL
This 14 year-old youngster ot Perry,
Taylor county, Florida, is pointing
the way to other boys, and men, too.
in this national crisis when men and
money are needed by the government in
the fight against Prussian autocracy.
He invested $250 of bis earn ngs from
the sale of newspapers in his home
town in Lends of the Second Liberty
Loan. He accumulated this ni.ney
without help from his father or anyone
else. Since that time he has been
saving his money and expects to sub
scribe t> the Third Liberty Loan
John is go proud of his bonds that he
has determined to keep on buying just
as long as he can earn money and
the Government has anv bonds to of¬
fer.
AMERICA NOT SAFE
v FROM HUN ATTACK
Germany Determined To Keep Farm¬
ers From Shipping Products to
European Markets.
Atlanta. — The average Southern
farmer, situated far from the seacoast,
thinks he is secure even should the
Kaiser, in his mad desire for conquest,
attempt an invasion of America.
He is enjoying the most prosperous
period of his life. Cotton is bringing
thirty cents a pound—and more; there
is a ready market for hogs and cattle
at fancy prices; food crops are being
sold at unprecedented prices; and
the manufacturers have paid top notch
figures for velvet beans and other
crops.
It is but natural that the farmer,
contented with life, should have no
thought of the dangers surrounding
him.
“Why should this war worry me?"
the farmer asks himself, thinking of
the miles of hills and valleys that
separate hint from the seacoast. "I
am not concerned with the 'freedom
of the seas’ and Germany’s right to
overruH Belgium, France and Italy.
If they should ever send an army
here, why I’d fight," he says.
Anything that affects the general
welfare of the Country affects the
farmer. And the “freedom of the
seas”—no other policy established by
the United States has been and will
he more beneficial to the Southern
fanner.
Keep Seas Free.
It was the government's determina¬
tion to keep the seas free that has
enabled the Southern farmer to mar¬
ket his cotton crop for thirty cents
a pound instead of six.
When the war is over a steady
stream of agricultural products manu¬
factured articles and materials of all
kinds will continue to flow to war
stricken Europe. Thousands of ves¬
sels will be engaged in this commerce.
With a hungry market and plenty of
bottoms available, freight rates will
be correspondingly lower. The South¬
ern farmer should be as vitally inter¬
ested in ocean transportation as in
rail transportation.
The rugged hills and vast plains
will not stop GerThanv from wiping
the commerce off the seas and cutting
off the rest of Europe from trade with
the Southern farmer. Neither will
they protect the farmer should Getv
many actually invade America. A hos¬
tile array would not strike first at the
farms. It would attack the seat of
government— Washington — Situated
only a short distance from the sea. And
once in control of Washington it
would have the reins and from there
would force the farmer to do its bid¬
ding.
Building Many Ships.
The United States Government has
determined to check, not only Ger¬
many’s greed for territory but its am¬
bition to control the seas. The gov¬
ernment has undertaken a shipbuilding
program that will supply the vessels
for the farmer to send his products to
European markets, not only during the
war but afterwards. These projects
cannot be successfully carried out un¬
less the government is given support
by the people. Billions of dollars are
needed. The farmer not only displays
his patriotism by lending the Govern¬
ment money through subscribing to
Liberty Bonds, bttt JMStaets hie future
