The prime factors are money, I men andl transportation. The cardlinail condlitionls of success in this war arec unflagging determination, ahniost su- a perhuman patience, and a courage born of right. Lloyd George has saidl that the na-v tion which has the last (dollar, andl thet last loaf of bread wvill win this war. Germany has repeated this, addin confidently *hat she will be that ina tion. Amer. mns do you realize what this would mean to us? t Just stop for one moment and con side~r the effect this war has had on our liberties even thus far, because aa man, i.aad with ambition, crazed with S S power, dares dictate to us our every act. Are we going to submit without the fiercest bitterest struggle in all s; our history ? This menace to civilization is per sonifled in the German kaiser. Let us then consider Emperor William in T his relation to. us. Very few of us ia have realized the axtent to which he 14 is curtailed our habits, our pleas es, our very liberties. It seems to e that we run into him nearly every here we go. And whenever we meet n we find that he has new instruc Dns to give us--new orders to hand it, things that we shall or shall not >.

He has low red the quality of food and raiscJ ie price. The kaiser is present in the busi ass world. The mails are delayed; ue railroads are greatly congested, rid the process of manufacture and livery greatly hindered. His sub arines have jeojardized our foreign ade. Yes, the Emperor is with us every aking moment. He has established crsonal relations with every one of 3. We are having extensive dealings ith him, and we are not finding the lationship very satisfactory. He is )nineering, dictatorial, extravagant is present schemes have cost us out Seventy-five billion dollars, and ve billion men. He is the bull-head I promoter type who gets in wrong, t carries his deal through, regard ss of expense. He onces authority, ive him rope and there will be more ars and plenty of them. Plainly there is nothing to be done .it to get rid of him. We all agree ith Uncle Sam that this must be ne, yet are we giving him sufficient alp? What are you doing?

Let us all join in the torus: "Down with Prussianism own with the kaiser." We have had foretaste of him and his work, an e don't like it. We may have beer tonkeys once. The scientists tell u e were. But let's not allow this kind r specimen to make monkeys of u, gain. Nearly all of us have bought Liber r Bonds.

There is not a man, woman of bild in this great county of ours wht rinnot buy Thrift Stamps. These hrift Stamps cost only Twenty-five ents. For convenience they are at iched to a card having market paces for sixteen Stamps. Wher his card is filled it may be ex hanged at any post office for a Wai avngs Stamp on payment of sixteer 'nts during this month, and one cen dditional for each succeeding month n 1923 these stamps or "Baby Bonds s. they are called are redeemed b, he government, and for every stami resented the owner is paid five dol irs. If one should wish them re eemed before this time, ten lays no ice must be given the office a ,hich they are presented. Americans, do we want Germai vulture in place of our humanitariai ivilization ? Do we want German uilitarism to take the place of ou: ree and democratic government? No en thousand times, No!

These trac tors arc to be distributed among the farmers with the understanding that they are to be kept in constant use in war food production, either on his land or on that of his neighbor. The Ford organization has reduced its commercial output to 35 per cent of maximum, the other 65 per cent of plant activities being engaged in the manufacturing of the aeroplanes, sub marine chasers, army trucks and oth er war material for the government. This war activity is being pursued at cost to the government. Some time ago a member of the Ford Company visited Governor Man ning and broached to him the idea of distributing tractors among, the farm ers of the nation at ractory cost to assist in increased production of food !crops. Governor Manning was of the opinion that the farmers of this State could use the tractors to a decided ad vantage. "We are in receipt - your lette: dated May 4, 1918," sail Mr. Kant. iler's letter, "in which yo:u advise that you would like very much to have the people of your State g:ven the oppor tunity to purchase our Fordson trac tor." --W-S-S CONSERVE RESOURCES "It is our patriotic duty now to con serve our resources so that we may dedicate them to the service of our country.
