LOSS IS HEEDED
It Will Settle Nation's War
^ Debts and Will Care for
Sick and Wounded.
\
Once in a while some one asks:
^What's the need of another Liberty
Loan now that the war is over?"
Revenue from taxes will not be sufficient
to pay all the bills, so the
people will be called upon to provide
the money by subscribing to govern
meat bonds. This money is going to
pay off the army of producers at home
?the farmers, merchants, manufacturers
and others.
America had just begun to fight
when the Hun decided it was time to
quit. Allied leaders expected the war
to last another year and the United
6tates government was turning out
ships, arms, ammunition and food to
overwhelm Germany in one big
drive.
Treasury officials have revealed
that in 1919 America would have had
a tank at the front for every seventyfive
feet of line. We wouid have had
ten tons of mustard gas ready for
shipment for every ton Germany
could produce. Thousands of batteries
of guns would have been in actIon
for every one America had in 1918.
Everything else was being produced
In proportion.
This gig- preparation brought
an early end co the war and saved
thousands of lives. Victory Liberty
Bonds will pay for this work which
had been contracted for and was being
delivered when the armistice was
signed.
There are other purposes for which
.money is need. Part of our army of
2,000,000 men must be kept in Europe
until the peace treaty is signed.
These soldiers must be fed, clothed
and otherwise maintained. Then they
must be brought home.
The sick and wounded must be cared
for in hospitals. The army must
be demobilized. There are thousands
of maimed soldiers, heroes of the
great war, who must be taught selfsupporting
trades and given an opportunity
to earn their living.
% This reconstruction work at home
must be carried on. The job must be
finished. The American people who
furnished the money to win the war
must supply it also to bring the nation
back to a peace basis.

Secretary of Treasury Urges
Citizens to Keep Government
Securities Until They
Shall Have Matured.
Carter Glass, Secretary of the United
States Treasury, has issued 'a warning
to patriotic American citizens
against unscrupulous persons who advertise
that they are willing to purchase
War Savings Stamps. Mr.'Glass
does not wish to have the government
securities sold at sums below their
actual value.
He points out that people who are
actually in need of money may take
their War Savings Stamps to a post
office and receive cash. Mr. Glass
urges holders to keep their stamps
until maturity.
He states that War Savings Stamps
belong only to the individual who first
purchased them and that people who
. . offer to buy stamps at low premium
are violating the letter of the law in
Bo doing. Men and women selling
stamps are not only losing money
which rightfully belongs to them, but
are aiding unscrupulous agents to
reap profits.
BE PREPARED.

If you like to win, but you think you
' - can't;
It's almost certain you won't." .

Rural Business Men Are Well
Able to Take Up Their
Share in the "Victorious"
Fifth.
More than ever before the American
farmer finds himself in the position
of comfort and prosperity which is
his just due. Lean years are for him
no longer. Last year the average of
farm earnings broke all records. Six
million farms in 1918 produced crops
worth $12,2S0.000,000.
This year it is estimated that a
greater wheat acreage than ever will
oe sown, i^aturaiiy, tne larmer is
making the most of his opportunities,
and with guaranteed wheat prices
and high prices for everything he
grows, the outlook for him is most
encouraging. And Europe will furnish
a market for his fat hogs and
steers.
It would be interesting,- if possible,
to assemble comparative statements
of the farmers' bank accounts now
and five years ago, and the list ol
mortgages that have been cancelled.
And it would be more interesting perhaps
to have a statement of the Liberty
Bonds now in the hands of these
tillers of the soil.
Very soon the farmer will have further
opportunity to prove that he is
not without loyalty as well developed
as any man's. For another loan is
almost in sight, a loan that will draw
upon us all.
Because of his price guarantee ol
$2.26 a bushel, Uncle Sam stands to
lose from 50 to 75 cents upon every
bushel of wheat harvested next season.
Having given this guarantee tc
the farmer, he will make it good.
That is Uncle Sam's way. But what
is Mr. Farmer going to cio ior uncie
Sam in the Victory Liberty Loan?
In every Liberty Loan to date the
farmer, as a cla^s, has bought less
bonds than men in other prosperous
Masses. He has been able meantime
to get more sugar and everything
else upon which the government put
a restriction, than others have.
The big question now, when he
stands to cash in at a 25 per cent
premium qpon his wheat crop, is whal
is he going to do next Liberty Loan
drive?
Some Liberty Loan officials are
suggesting that the farmer should
buy a $100 bond for each 100 bushels
of wheat he sells to the government.
He has made the profit and should
have no hesitancy in taking a highgrade
security in payment for the dif
Terence between what the government
gets and what he receives foi
his wheat
