v MUST DO HIS
I DUTY!
I
Americans IVever Halt in Accepting
Either Otter.
Dollars Help to whip the Huns,
| WE Mi)6T LEARN SACRIFICE.
By Alston Ellis,
President Ohio University.
' The best testimony I can give as to
the duty of our people to make liberal
subscriptions to the Liberty Loan Is
in the fact that I personally have done
Oils thing. It Is due to our govern
ment at this time that every citizen
should be fully awake to the Interests
of the hour and willing, Just as far as
his resources will permit, to aid the
government in the prosecution of the
war.
An Investment in a Liberty Bond Is
not a gift to the government, but a
loan to the government by which the
lender will receive a fair rate of In
terest By making such Investment he
will pay nothing but a Just debt to the
-.patriotic service he owes the country
in which he lives.
As au example of the country wide
appeal which Is being made to the
farmers of the country In the Third
Liberty Loan Campaign the following
extract from a statement sent out by
the Liberty Loan Committee of the
Eleventh Federal Reserve District,
with headquarters in Dallas, Tex., Is
particularly eloquent:
“Shall It be snid that we men who
live upon the rich soil of Louisiana,
who inhabit the great producing state
of Texas, the progressive state of New
Mexico, who wrest the wealth from the
ground of Arizona or who have opened
up the great possibilities of Oklahoma,
possess less patriotism than our neigh
bors? It is unthinkable!
“We have a big task ahead, but we
will meet It. Let us plan and look
ahead, and let us start doing it right
now in order that this great old south
west may shine as a bright star in the
firmament of patriotism when our
country calls.”
Just as well as sworas ana guns.
Every time you buy a bond,
How It helps ‘‘across the pond 1”

TRIBUTE FOR
II. S. FARMERS
Hal. B. Fullerton of Long Island
Railroad Says They Are Not
Brass Band Workers.
ARE TRUE BLUE PATRIOTS.
Three Generation* of Farm Women
Knitting for Red Cross—Country
Boys Become First Class Pri
vates on the Jump.
I Eloquent tribute to the patriotism
of our farmers and ‘to the self-sacri
ficing devotion of the women who live
| on farms is given in a statement made
! to the Libert; I-oan Committee b; Hnl
|B. Fullerton, Director of Agricultural
Development of the Long Island Ball
| road Cpmpany. Mr. Fullerton, who
j has headquarters at Medford, L. I.,
; said that the United States farmers'
arm; constitutes Uncle Sam’s front
line of defense and main base of sup
plies.
“American farmers are not brass
band workers,” he continues, “and are
shy on putting up a big yell about
j things they are going to do, but as
always they responded to their coun
try’s call in 1917, just as they did in
1776, and came over the top and ‘de
livered the goods’ in plenty, not only
for the home folks and our boys over
there, but a goodly surplus for Amer
1 lea’s comrades who with them are de
fending the world’s freedom.
“American farmers rallied to defend
their country at the first call of Amer
ica's commander-in-chief, the Presi
dent.
"Many of them ore veterans or sons
of veterans, hence their sons knew
that their country’s call drowned out
all thought of personal matters.
‘‘Country boys used to wrestling
with and downing hardships of heat
and cold, rain and snow, dust and mud,
on familiar terms with shotgun and
rifle and team work quickly grasped
military details and became ‘first
class’ privates on the Jump.
“American farmers ‘hopped to It’
when they learned more goods must
be produced, and without a kick In
creased their acreage, although short
of labor, short of chemical fertilizers
and short of square-deal markets.
“Three generations of American
farm womenfolks—grandma, mother
and daughters—sturdy and earnest pa
triots, spent no time learning stitches
but clicked the needles and delivered
Red Crass goods warranted to wear
and'warm Liberty Lads of the I-and
of Freedom Boys of the Sea.
"These real Americans preserved to
winter use vegetables and fruits, hav
ing learned to he prepared at grand
ma’s knee.
“American farm folks all recognize
now that their country needs their
financial support as well as their men
tal and physical.
“American farmers today, as they
did In colonial yesterday, will prove
that they are true Mue patriots, not
scrap-of-paper or camouflage make-be
lievers, and while they fill Uncle Sam's
food bins chock full of grains, vegeta
bles and meats their boys will fill
Uncle Sam's ranks with husky, nervy
Freedom Defenders, their women
folks will supply their full-quota of
comforts and injury aids. And their
modest savings put by for n ‘rainy
day’ will be Intrusted to Uncle Sam
that he may build ships and fill them
with all things needed by those brave
Americans ‘over there’ holding back
the hordes set upon making serfs of
all the world.”
Teamwork.
By Rudyard Kipling.
It ain't the guns nor armament
Nor funds that they can pay,
But the dose co-operation
That makes them win the day.
It ain't the individuals
Nor the army as a whole,
But the everlastin’ teamwork
Of every bloomin’ soul.
