Atkeson, the Washington representative of the Na tional Grange Patrons of Husbandry, who has sent the following letter to the officers of every farm grange in the United States: " 'Victory Liberty' is the slogan for the new loan. The drive is to begin April 21. for the sal$ of six billion dollars in Victory Liberty Bonds. These two words visualize all that is best' in American spirit. American farmers must respond to this appeal. "What the farmers of America did in sacrifice and in accomplishment, in food production and in bond buying during the war is a part of the record It is a war record of which any class may be proud. It must be made good now by meeting the obligations which result from the outpouring of Ameri can strength which conquered the enemies of Liberty and civilization. Time to. Get Ready. "It is time to get into this Victory Liberty Bond campaign. No appeal cf the war has gone unanswered to the full limit when brought to the atten tion of the farmers. Mon. money, wheat, other food-no matter what the obstacles or the difficulties-the answer has been full and certain. The answer must be the same in this com ing drive. "Millions of soldiers must be brought home; thousands of sick must be car^d for: thousands of wounded and muri lated must he made ready for future usefulness. We armed a nation and mobilized its resources into a war ma chine of such tremendous potential power that our enemies surrendered rather than face it. and thereby months or year? of fighting and thous ands of lives, were saved. Now we must pay the obligations created by . this effort. Who can neglect: to paj his just part for that which prevented so great a sacrifice of life and blood. World Wants Products. "There lies Just outside the doors ol the American farmer a hungry world, a world which needs all cur products. American farming rests on the ^afe basis of need and service.

Do your part to put the Vic tory Liberty Loan over the top. "Make your investment in Victory Liberty Bonds the measure of VOUT confidence in ""American institutions and that democracy for which ycui sons offered the supreme sacrifice; a symbol of your determination that the war shall not have been fought in vain; an offering of thanksgiving for peace." History of All Loans for a Cen tury Shows That Advance Has Always Come with Peace Will history repeat itself? That question is in the minds of many bond buyers these days Records show that the prices of bonds were way down during war times of the past but soon af." er peace was declared advanced rapidly. During Napoleonic wars prices of English 3 per cent, consols ranged ..from 67%, the high and 54%, the low, ' in 1814 to 9fi% the high and 84% the lox. in JS24 miring the same peri cl French 5 per cent rentes rose from ?a. the high, in 1 SI4 to 104.S in 1S24. Th^y also v/ent as iow as 45 in ]S14. French 5 per cent rentes during the Franco-Prussian war ranged ia price from 75.1 to 87 3 and 50 S to Sl.l. United Stater, bonds during the Con federate war sold for S5%. the high, and 83, the low, in 18?1. but from then on they had practically a steady rise until 1873. at which time the high was 123% and the low 111 Vi. The ten forty-^ear bonds, put out in 1864 ad vanced from 103% to HG1,? in ten years. Four series of Liberty Bonds have been issued and the fifth-to be known as the Victory Liberty Loan will soon be offered. These securities have behind them the mightiest pro tection ever devised-the resources and the pledge and the faith cf one of the great nations of "the world.
