If you have not yet made a pur chase' of Liberty l-oan Bonds, read this statement from President W u son, published in tne hicago l'nbune last Sunday. He tells the story ol what we aie at war for. and he must be supported by everybody buying Liberty Loan Bonds. •••We are lighting- lor the liberty, the self-government, and the undic tated development of all peoples, and every feature cf the settlement that concludes this war must be conceived and executed for that purpose. rongs must Hist bu -righted and then adequate safeguards must he created to pieveiu their being com mitted again. We ou sht not to con sider remedies lueiely because they have a pleasing and sonorous sound. Practical questions can only be set tled by practical means. Phrases will not achieve tne result. Effective readjustments will and whatever re adjustments are necessary must be a ^.ut they must foliovrsi principle, and that principle is plain. No people must be forced under sovereignty un der which it does not wish to live. No territory. must change hands except for the purpose of securing those wlto inhabit it a tair chance lor me and liberty. No indemnities must be insisted on except those that consti tute payment for manifest wrongs done. No readjustments of power must be made except such as will tend to secure the future peace of the world and the future welfare and nappiness of its people. "And then the freed peonies ol the world must draw together in some common covenant, some genuine and practical that will in ef- tect combine their force to secure peace ayd justice in the dealings of nations with one another. The broth erhood of mankind must no longer be a rail' but empty-phrase it must be given a structure of force and reality. The nations must realize their com mon life and effect a workable part nership to secure that life against ihe agressions of autocratic and self pleasing power. "For these things we can afford to pour out blood and treasure. For these are the things we have always professeu to desire, and unless we pour«out blood and treasure now and succeed we may never be able to unite or show conquering force again in the great cause of human liberty. "The day has come to conquer or submit. If the forces of autocracy can divide us'they will overcome us if we stand together victory is cer tain, and the liberty which victory will secure. We can afford then to be generous, but we cannot afford then or now to be weak or omit any sinele guarantee ot justice and se curity." K. of I* Decoration Sunday After noon.

LEON, IOWA, THURSDAY, FREAKS OF A TORNADO Storm Which Destroyed Tine Barn of Bud Sims Last Week Dill Some Very Queer Things. We drove out to the farm of Bud Sims, live miles southeast of Leon Sunday and view the ruins ot Ins line barn, which was destroyed by a tor nado about half past eight on Mon day evening of last week. The tor nado came from the Jsouiliwest and did not do much damage until the Sims place was -reached. Here it just missed his line residence, took tl wheel off the windmill jt^ a few feet from the house, and left it .P!,ing on the top of the tower, then struck his workshop, moved it east, for.r feet, and jumped to his. big barn, which it wrecked completely. Th's barn was 4ox«0 feet, and was 52 feet high. It had a cement foun dation and floor, and was framed from native lumber, but the wind broke tix'J oak posts square olf, as well as breaking some of the large timbers There were head of horses iu the barn at the time, but when .Mr. Sims wont to the barn1 or what, vas left of it, all the horses were cut sicio except one of his line stal'ions, which was in a box stall, and the horse war, pretty badly frightened Mr Sims had to get his broth-)!- John to c:iih and assist him in :vn.o\ in-? the horse. None of the horses were even scratched. The path of the tor nado was only a couple of hundred feet wide, and as it passed oil north east it destroyed considerable timber loj- a distance of more than a mile. The big cupola on top of the barn fell to the north, and the glass in it was not broken except. thaT a stick was pushed through two of them. Just west of the barn a lumber wagon was not moved, but a heavy sled was picked ii]) and blown two hundred feet away. On the west side of the barn in one place a OxH oak corner post was twisted an to pieces, and right beside it three soft pine boards were left standing alone, and the nails were not even pulled from the bottom of them, ine second story of the barn was torn away and blown to the north, but the iirst story remain ed intact, but was moved from the foundation about a foot, although held by many big bolts set in tHo ce ment foundation. This barn was built entirely by Mr. Hinms, who spent four years com-/ pleting it, the interior beiir fitted up in elaborate shape for conven ience in feeding and comfort, of his horses. He estimates that the bain cost him over $:i,(00 and lie has $2, tioo infiulance on it .i-any freaks of the wind were vis ible about the barn and a big door from a sued was picked tin and nail ed tight aga{iist an adjoining shed. It was 13ud's first experience, with a toinauo, and he does not want to have any more, lie was sitting in the house readinu when the storm struck the house which shook all over, but was not damaged in the least, al though Bud insists that the paper which he was reading was snalreh out of his hand.
