Had this Nation maintained peace at the ^ price of obedience to the Genpan i war zone decree, this European mar- 1 ket would have been closed and this < billion dollars worth of. agricultural < products would, most of them, have j rotted on farms and in warehouses i or been used in unprofitable ways with consequent stagnation and ruin 1 to the American farmers. 1 Interest as well as duty urges _ the American farmer to give fioancial support to his Government in this war. * Tlmr T.ihori-v Rftnds. j ~7 11 THE LIBERTY LOAN ' I AND ^BUSINESS j J ; ? ic "What has the Liberty Loan to, < do with the refrigeration business?" j< was asked by a subscriber in the! < fastnesses of the Rocky Mountains 1 of the editor of the Refrigeration i World. The answer was sound and 1 patriotic: i "At this critical time the success j 1 or failure of the impending loan 11 have more to do with refrigeration' than even the machinery and chemi- 1 cals used in producing refrigera- ' tion. If the loan fails, everything^ else will fail with it. All business M will eventually be prostrated; noth-j ing could thrive." j 1 It is the business of every busi-1i ness and business man in the Unit-J] ed States to see that the Liberty Loan does not fail. They should buy ] Liberty Bonds; they should en- ] courage and assist others to buy j them. No business in the United \ States is going to succeed if the , Liberty Loan fails?if the Nation ] fails. i It is better business to buy Lib- j erty Bonds than to pay indemnities to a victorious Germany; it is bet- ] ter business to win this war than to have our foreign commerce subject ' to the dictation of the Potsdam I' Government. j | The welfare, the success, the pros-11 Dur attention to tl" :s for Spring and and separate fully stunning ny price from 527.50. vfe '2 Our Ha bined v\ ' ' 5 repe de Chine ia?n|rtsh^es; Notice , $6.50.

For instance ( nost of us have had the idea that , C *uns, rifles and pistols made by ^ certain concerns like Winchester, Dolt and Remington were products )f the men whose names the con-j :erns bear. In a way this is true,' Dut it appears that most of the 11 really important improvements in j < the products of these firms are the! i inventions 01 one man, a man wnu i las been little known in this coun- ( try, John M. Browning. I Mr. Browning is the inventor of j 1 the new machine gun which has, created so much talk and which has 11 Deen adopted by the United States < for use in this war. i Mr. Browning lives in Ogden, ' Utah. He went west with his father j1 when quite a small boy and has i5 lived in the west all his life. His first work was a rifle which became so popular that his father's little shop was overrun with orders for it. It attracted the attention of the Winchester people and the patsnts -were bought from young Browning. This was the beginning of Mr. Browning's long career as an inventor of firearms. The Winchester Company secured nost of his subsequent patents, the 1886 rifle, the lever shot gun, the 09 model rifle, the '91 model, the '94 model, '95, the '97 model shot fun and the 1900 model rifle were ill inventions of John Mr-Browning. mmrnmrn i ie intelligent man: ask you to call ; 't* '' ::C ' : \\ f/: ; :PpSs J'f 4#f: v r -/AV its will delight those who rith quality make them s >0 Cents to $18.00. our swell Silk Petticoats L75 to $5.00 .00 & $1.50 wi i the following goods: 2 lighter weight. 10 yard: : $1.00 per .yard. rns No two alike, $1.75 ionally pretty patterns i lNDI He is the inventor of the automatic pistol , and his first one was produced in Belgium. It was one of these pistols which killed the Austrian Archduke which was the match nrhich started this war ablaze. This pistol madef Mr. Browning famous all over Europe. Millions 1 >f them had been manufactured in Europe when this war began. Mr. Browning is the invetor of the Colt t uitomatic pistol which was adopted v n 1911 by the United States for e ;he use of the army, navy, and Na- E ;ional Guard. I 3 His latest work is the new ma:hine gun. A machine gun in spite ? >f the disadvantages under which E t has to work, getting too hot thru t :api<f firing, is a most Valuable ad lition to an army, it is equal tofn ibout seventy-five rifles at anyl^ ;ime. t fl SENATOR TILLMAN. h When Senator Tillman entered ? he Senate twenty-four years ago? * >nly Lodge and Gallinger o? the a jresent body were there then?few D )f the newspapers of the country, ' >utside of his organs in his own , State, had a good word to say of lim.

That the country at large should y 'eel so kindly toward him at this u tarticular time is perhaps due to ]( he servicp lie has rendered in* the 0 Lpbuilding of the navy.
