that democracy will oot defend Itself

PROVED SPIRIT '>
OF BEMOCBftGY
Voluntary Basis of Food Savlnf
Showed Heart of Amerloa
Beat True for Freedom.
To the voluntary service and sacri
fice of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mies and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac
rifice will depend Europe's fate In the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude of which Is almost be
yond comprehension. But with the
new demand* that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
Oerrnnn oppression, our exports most
be almost doubled. Instead of 11.820.-
000 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe In the coming
year —as much us can be pushed
through our ports.
If the Allies had not been fed by
Amerlcs, It would have been Impos
sible for them to maintain their de
fense agalnet Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have proved that democ
racy Is a success ana that In time of
need It will ri#e to IU own defense.
If there were no other accomplish
ment to Its credit the rery fact that It
has shown tbe strength of democracy
has In Itself more than Justified the
eilstencs of ths Food Administration
In tbe eyes of the world.
Less than four months after tbe
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet America's
food problem on a baals of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
Irresistible.
"Many thinking Americans," said
Mr. Hoover, "and ths whole world
have been watching anxiously the Isst
four months In the fear that demo:
era tic America could to
meet autocratic Germany. Oermany
bus been confident that It could not bo
done. Contrary proof Is Immediately
ut our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, tndure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently In many di
rections an(t upon the word of
Inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage of otir Army and finance*"
Tbe history of tho Food Administra
tion has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith In democ
racy bus not been misplaced.
I cll your neighbor how
you like The Enterprise.

MR. INVESTOR
Now is your chance of a life time to buy while farm and town properties are selling cheap.
These properties were liought when everybody was blue —crops looked sorry labor scarce —and the
prospects of a long and bitter war ahead of us. With these conditions facing them the farmers naturally
wanted to uaload 011 the other fellow, but it is now the reverse. The war will soon be history —we've got
the boche on flu- trot —prices of land products are high —there will soon !>e plenty of lal»or —then farms
can't IK- puchased at anv price. WHY? Because thev will be a better investment than a Klondike Gold
Mine.
