Money invested in War Savings Stamps is worktag for you day and night. mutmib WHY ONE MORE LOAN IS NEEDED It Will Settle Nation's War Debts and Will Care for Sick and Wounded. One* 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 government bonds. This money is going to pay off the army of producers at home < ?the farmers, merchants, manufac- j turers 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 States 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 would have had ten tons of mustard gas ready for shiDment for ?vo** r,~ ?- .w. ?* v*/ vuu uci uiau/ could produce. Thousands of batteries of guns would hare been in actIon for every one America had in 1918. Everything else was being produced in proportion. This gigantic preparation brought an early end to the war and saved thousands of lives. Victory Liberty Bonds will pay for this work which had been contracted for and w&h 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. 3HS FROM "Y" HELPED DOUGHBOY * Corporal Irving Abrahams of New York has Just returned from France. Just because the Y. M. C. A. men overseas had gone out of their way o treat him well, he took the trouble o make his way to the Headquarters 3ull<Vng of the National War Work Jounell, Y. M. C. A., New York City, ind found some one on the 9th floor at Headquarters to toll how much he apI -rociated the service of the Red Trlai9?le. This is Just a part of what he said: returned from Franoe on the !7th of January. Have been wounded hree times. Am feeling fine, but the 1rst time when we landed over in ^rance in April, 1917, we took the position up on Chateau Thierry and '.he Y. M. C. A. wlr right with us and brought up on the firing line chocolate, cigarettes, and also pears, biscuit and done the tost and all he could lust to please the boys. "And In August when we drove the Germans back he came op under heavy shell fire and brought us the same chocolate, cigarettes, and If the boys didn't have any money he would give it to us Just the same. "And up on the Argonne Forest he went under heavy -shell fire and brought up all the candy and chocolate, and also spoke to the boys to send our money trt our mothers and which we did. and also he told us to send our money home and he will do all he can for us, and also the boys of the Third Division is very well pleased of the Y. M. C\ A. and also thank them ever so much; and also when we got relieved from the Argonne woods the Y. M. C. A. entertained us, gave us a grand time, and we thank the Y. M. C. A. with our full heart and we shall never for<et them. "So 1 don't see why the fellows are coming back from France and kicking the Y. M C. A., and I can speak to anybody nnd ash them why they are knocking the Y. M. C. A." pi in ta Trrnn; ULAU IU IC3Iin Says Watoga Lady, "At To What Cardui Hat Done For Me, So At To Help Othert." Waloga, W. Va.?Mrs. S. W. Gladwell, of this town, says: "When about 15 years of age, 1 suffered greatly ... Sometimes would go a month or two, and I had terrible headache, backache, and bearingdown pains, and would just drag and jiad no appetite. Then ... it would last ,,, two weeks, and was so weakening, and my health was awful, . My mother bought me a bottle of Cardui, and I began to improve after taking the first bottle, so kept it up till I took three , ,. f gained, and was well and strong, and I owe it all to Cardui. I am married now and have 3 children . .. Have never had to have a doctor for female trouble, and just resort to Cardui if I need a tonic. I am glad to testify to what It has done for me, so as to help others." If you are nervous or weak, have headaches, backaches, or any of the other ailments so common to women, why not give Cardui a trial? Recommended by many physicians. In use over 40 years.

How Valuable?Pedigree PJps E Individua'hy. Clemson College.?"It Is a common saying that the sire Is 'half the herd.' Aa a matter of fact, in most cases, he Is of even greater value," says Thos. a W. Moseley, Dairy Specialist of the a Extension Service. 61 A Common Practice. * Yet many farmers do not appre- r' ciate the above statement and year lifter year are content to use any bull 5l that will make their cows come fresh. The result of the UBe of inferior or ^ scrub sires is that the calves are near- " ly always inferior to their dams, and y after awhile the farmer complains " that his stock has "run out." One farmer who owned a scrub bull bred ^ him to his cow, which had produced B 146.8 pounds of butterfat in one year. 01 and their daughter when she came ? Into milk produced only 126 S pounds w of butterfat. This heifer was bred back to the scrub bull and a heifer from this mating produced only pounds of butterfat. of 47.1 pounds less than her grandmother. At fiOc per pound for butterfat this would ' mean an annual loss of $23.!>f>. An Investment That Paid. " Another farmer who had become discouraged with scrub sires decided to buv the hest he emilil ufr???.l 8 mated him with his cows, which were e Just "ordinary." and the first six heifers produced an average of 93 8 pounds ' of butterfat more than their dams. With butterfat at 50c per pound this would mean an increased yearly in- n come of $281.40. These heifers were ^ retained for five years and in that * time brought in $1,407.00 more than * their dams. In other words, through ' the use of a good pure-bred sire for p only one year he realized $1.407 00. p Only Pure-Bred Bulla Are Good Bullr. Rut you can't expect these results c by using a scrub bull. The scruh r bull has no individuality. He Is the a result of years of careless, indiserim- ? Inate. haphazard breeding. In his '' blood runs the inferiority of many an- " tagonistic breeds. The scrub bull is a mixture and almost without excep- ff tion the bad far out weighs the good. I The scrub bull chokes instead of pro- I moting improvement in the herd. L And you can't expect these results from a grade bull, no matter if he is B the son of a high-producing cow. The grade bull has no lines of good c blood back of him. He is more apt to g transmit the weakness of his make up than his strong points. b Rut you can expect these results by using a good bull. A good bull must A be a purebred bull. He must he g more. He must be a good purebred bull. p Use Only Bred-For-Production Sires, g A good bull must have back of him a family of high producers, because hp can transmit to his offspring only what he has received from his ancestry. His mother must bo a family of high producers, because he can transmit to his offspring only what he has received from his aneeHtry. His mother must bo a high producer, and his sire must come from a high | producing dam. Mia sire must have J J aired high-qiroducing daughters^ TT < hla family for two or three generations J > bark has a record of uniformly high < production, there ia little doubt that <, he will be able to transmit that qual- < Ity to his ofT>4>rlng. And such a hull <> can earn for the dairyman many times ? his cost. <, But Pedigree It Not Everything. ^ Many an animal has a fine pedigree < but .s a very poor individual. The J> right uairy sire should be a Rood in- < dividual as well as have a good pedi- 0 groe. He uhould be fairly typical of < his breed and show Masculinity, Ca- > parity. Size and Quality. ? The real value of a dairy sire to & Any herd is told when his daughters J* freshen. Then we are able to tell <> whether he is Improving the herd. If his daughtors are better producers than their dams were at the same "4 age. then we are on the right track ? A sire which does not improve the herd and whose daughters are not better than their dams should be sold at once. If you caught a man running off with $10000 worth of your property, would you sit back in your chair and let him do it? Well. then, why be so partial to the scrub or grade bull? He Is robbing von of $100 00 every time he breeds one of your cows, lie Is breeding your herd down and not tin "FHOW TO PREVENT COTTON ANTHRACNOSE. Cotton nnthracnose, the fundus boll rot of cotton, is rarrled In the se?'d The fungus lives over from one year to the next In the boll.

Pessimists who shake thoir heads ad Join the chorus of "I dunno" boys t the prospect of floating a fifth Librty Loan in April are administered a nock-out by figures which have resntly been compiled by officials of lie Treasury Department at Washigton. The figures give an idea of Just ow big an appetite for safe investment lis country has attained in its warear. Some of th'e more striking of le figures referred to follow: A bond market which had less than 90,000 customers two years ago had t the close of 1918 between 20.000,!) and 25,000.000 buyers. The army f buyers absorbed $11,156,565,850 orth of bonds in Liberty Bonds alone i 1918. In the two years of the war?countig the first and second Liberty oans which were floated in 1917? lese bond buyers digested a total of 16.974.329.850 in Liberty bonds. This healthy condition of the bond tarket is explained, perhaps, by the ict that the entire indebtedness of le United States today amounts to lightly less than 7 per cent of the stimated national wealth. The naional debt amounts to only about 170 per capita. Some of the national debts are: Great Britain, 44 3 per cent cent of ational wealth or $360 per capita; Vance. 41 25 per cent of national r?o 1 f Vi ?OQf on ~ . 4 4-1 onivu vm fb?ru.au |rri lapiui , A Uflll Itt, 4.66 per cent of national wealth or 242.90 per capita ;and Germany, 38.T er cent of national wealth or $505.90 er capita.
