Most of the Liberty farmers, it would seem, would like to see Germany wiped off the map, but after three years of fighting with all the great powers against her, it certainly looks as though the Lord meant what He said when He inspired the prophet of old to write “When the Lord is for us, who can be against us?” And with our limited vision, it looks viurse for us farmers than any one else. x FROHN * LR EEEREEINREEEEE R The Equitable Farmers’ club met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. I.
