HIJARN KOltor ana Publisher. BUY LIBERTY BONDS Have you bought a Liberty Bond? It is necessary to act quickly in order to Ret in this honor roll. To invest your surplus money, thus helping the government in its hour of need, will be a truly patriotic act, one of which, you are sure to boast in after years, but the chap that deserves real credit i& the one who borrows money at 8 per cent, to lend his government at 4. O, yes, there are some doing that, arid arc only sorry their borrowing capacity is not greater. HIGHER PRICES COMING "In time of peace prepare for war" has been inverted to read: "In time of war prepare for peace." Both are good advice and may be parallelo4 just now with: "In time of plenty prepare for want." The abnormal price of cotton and of everything the farmer has to sell has produced a condition that calls for level-headedness, if privation i? not to result. There ii> likely to be a tendency to spend money freely at this time on luxuries. While some luxuries are necessary, yet it will be well /or our farmers to remember that cotton-seed meal and i commercial fertilizers are going to' soil at un-heard-of figures and if great j care is not taken, will prove difficult to buy. nr 4 .. 1 ; . i ? IT arc IIOI unvisinir experience!! farmers what to do. hut we wish to throw out this hint, that while everything the farmer has sold this fall brought Rood prices, he shouhl remember that everything he buys will also bring good prices and the sooner he buys or contracts for his supplies, the better it will be for him. TO BEAT LOYAL CONORESSML (t is occasionally rumored that in some sections of the country a fight m being planned to defeat those congressmen who supported the administration in its war measures. We do not believe there are a sufficient number of disloyal Americans in this rT i^nes m Merry-Go-Roun Ferris Wheel; G of Pleasure, an "The Whip." V Single At country to give force to such a movement. Already the names of La Follette, Gronna, Heflin and Stone, the most conspicuous anti-Americans in America, are hissed wherever mentioned, which leads us to believe that the patience of Americans is playing out. Day by day, as it becomes more and more evident that we had absolutely no other choice, that Germany was as much bent on our destruction as she was^bent upon the destruction oi me r rencn and uriusn, mat wnoie aggregation of copper-heads and seditionists are falling into the discard. It is daily becoming more evident that war was declared none too soon and that the quicker and harder we can strike beside our allies, the fewer American lives will be required. It is also evident that attacks on the government at this time will actually mean the death of more American soldiers, because those attacks are a means of aiding and comforting the enemy. A loyal American will not countenance an attack on a congressman based on the fact that that congressman stood by his government when that government was menaced by a foreign foe. DR. HILLIS DESCRIBES CRIMES PERPETRATED BY GERMANS Chicago, Oct. 14.?German atrocities were described by Newell Dwight Hillis, Brooklyn, and Great Britain's determination to see the war through was set forth by T. P. O'Connor, member of Parliament, at a liberty bond rally here today, sponsored by the National Security League. Both speakers have visited the devastated portions of Belgium and Northern France and pictured the scenes which they had witnessed, while Dr. Ilillis quoted portions of affidavits obtained by Allied agents in proof of his assertions that the crimes were the direct outcome of Germany's prearranged plan for making war. I "Make yourselves more frightful than the Iluns under Attilla," he asserted that the Kaiser charged his O.I.I W.-f tk..t f 41 ? ouiuivto. ucc mill IUI U lliouauiiu years no enemy mentions the very name of Germany without shuddering." After detailing authenticated instances of wanton slaughter, crucifixion of babies and other indescrib(able crimes, he asserted: "Whether this war goes on five i years or ten years it will go until ! these Frenchmen and Belgians who have suffered are on German soil." 1 According to Mr. O'Connor the "fundamental issue of this year is the conflict between essential Christianity and essential paganism. terfi Novel ALL AT BLEYS JPERB lOWS d, Barnes Come olden Days of _1 J_ l_ _ i.
