' Let us begin by stating that we have every possible regard for the interest and well-being of the farmer, and are fully aware that he is the backbone of the nation. Briefly, let us analyze the present prosperity of the farm- ous value of nineteen and one-half billion' dollars, which was an increase of six billion dollars over 1916, and of almost nine billion over 1915. 3 i Does this enormous increase in value of the farm products of the country represent a large increase in production? Frank- ly, no. The actual output of the farms has increased very little. The value of that output-has practically doubled.. So that we witness the farmers of the country realizing twice as'much for their produce as they realized two years ago, and that at only, a slight increase in the cost of production. : Let us suppose that the German navy ruled the lanes of the ocean. Let us suppose that the markets of England, of France, of Italy and the neutral countries of the north were closed to our exports, what then? Would American wheat sell at $2 per bushel? Would our cotton.bring 30c per pound? Would all our other farm products sell at proportionally high prices? Experience of past years, when these nations needed not our wares, should convince us that but for the present 01d World: conditions our products would be almost a ‘drug on the market. ; What, then, is responsible for the unprecedented prosper- ity of the farmer? . The armies and navies of the allied powers. France, England,.Italy have thrown the wealth of the entire wations into the task of keeping the ocean lanes free. They have not hesitated to sacrifice wherever sacrifice was called for to accomplish this task. During the past year they have been ably seconded by our own navy. - Now, these armies and navies, and the peoples of these allies who have given up practically their all-in the struggle, MUST be sustained. Who, should be. first to offer help in this task of susenance? / Who but the man whose dollars have doubled purely as a result of thelabors and sacrifices of these fighting forces? Mr. Farmer of America, now that the Liberty Loan is launched, will you look your duty in the face, and seeing it, will you go to it? ; Uncle Sam might have thought he really had hurt the Dutchman’s feelings when he took over those ships, if he hadn’t seen the old fellow wink the other eye at the same time he let out the howl. : While you are hesitating about buying Liberty bonds, thousands.are hurrying to offer their lives. ~Are your dollars dearer to you than your family and your Liberty? The defeat of the entire Thompson ticket in Chicago would argue that Big Bill must be content to serve the kaiser in a more humble sphere than the United States Senate. Those women and chilren killed and mangled in that Pafis church by the big German gun were merely another acceptable sacrifice to Gott. o Government bonds formerly were as great a curiosity to the average farmer as an airship. He is now getting acquainted with them. ‘ The Germans have captured Ham. picked clean to the bone when*they got it. “Gramy”* Ciamberlain “No one who has not had Influenza can realize the suffering it causes or how it defies treatment. I know of nothing that will give such prompt relief as Charnberlain’s Cough Remedy, for when it is taken the pain'in the chest disappears, the fever sub- sides and the whole body becomes more comfortable: Then again, the after effecs of. Influenza are often even more distressing than the disease itself, but they.can be avoided if you use Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Though the greatest danger from chis disease is Pneumonia, * I have never known a single case of Influenza to result in it when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was freely given. The persistent cough that frequently follows Influenza can be relieved by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and should not be allowed to run on until it becomes troublesome.” Qfourer fov Meakel < Guaniy Coon boiliins x| Barkey Corl | As He Went To His Doom In good health and in fine spirits, Let us hope it was | Edwin R.
