In Acid The Secretary addressed a great mass meeting at Carnegie hall in be half of the Libertyloan, which, he warned, would succeed as it must suc ceed only if every one did his duty. He appealed to those who cannot fight on the battle field to supply the means that will enable the government to provide for the soldiers who go to the front. Bonds Better Than Money "We have offered this great liber ty Loan," he said. "What does it mean? It means that your govern ment offers you a privilege; it asks you men and women not to give something to your government, but to buy the best investment on earth, the safest thing you can possibly pos sess, something that is as safe as cur rency and . yet better than currency because currency does not bear inter, est while these bonds do bear inter est at 3 1-2 per cent. It asks you to buy within your "means in order that the government may be supplied with the money to properly equip our brave men who have to go upon the field o f battle to protect your lives, your liberty and your property. "Millions of young Americans, with the fire of patriotism in their hearts, are going to respond to their country s call on June 5th. When they have been called, our duty is to see that they have everything that is neces sary to make the most effective sol diers on earth. Property Must Bear Burden "I hear some grumbling about tax ation. Is it possible that in this rich country, when our sons are going to the front to give their lives for us, there should be any quibbling about the ' necessary taxation to take care of them upon the lield ot battle : While we must not be unfair to prop erty, while we must be scrupulously just in the imposition of taxation and in the treatment of all the economic questions which gain added import ance during war time, property must bear its just share of the burden.

When one considers the magnitude of this task and the probable economic effects of the sale of ?8,200,0UU,UUU oi oonas wixnin twelve months and the expenditure of the proceeds in the purchase of supplies in this country, it does not seem prudent or wise to provide by new taxation a less amount than $1, 800,000,000. A Civl War Mistake "There is always a serious danger of hurtful inflation in war time when such great bond issues must be made, aonahlo Xamount of wholesome taxation, properly distributed, is the best corrective. The worst mistake made by the Federal government at mKrualr of th Civil war was its failure to impose taxation vigorously and sufficiently. This led to a train of evils, hurtful to the credit of the government, and resuuea m unneces sary sacrifices of human life and treasure "Every man and woman must get behind these bonds if this issue is to be successful. Combined Enerev Necessary "We shall not fail if every one does I believe that God has called this nation into this struggle because He had a mighty purpose to serve. "Where there is democracy and self-government, nations cannclt be hurled into war by the arbitrary will of any individual. We have lived here in the United States alongside Canada, which is practically a great republic because they have self-government, for more than one hundred years, and we have never had to pa trol one foot of the three thousand miles of border with an armed soU dier. Isn't that a striking example of what it means to have self-government among contiguous peoples? "The" overshadowing danger to civ ilization today is the German mili tary autocracy. The Kaiser, with a limitless and lustful ambtftion un-i paralleled in history, has set out up on a scheme of universal dominion. In order to win, he has determined that neither the laws of humanity nor the rights of any nation shall stand in the way; that" is the reason he has committted these insufferable aggressions upon the American jia- "Whv is it that we have hot felti sooner the extent of this menace?

We be lieve excellent prices for nearly all staple crops will prevail this fall, but local market gluts, because of unorganized, badly directed selling? methods, are always possible. This is the business man's problem as much as it is the farmer's. Ask your merchant and your broker what plans are under way for insuring, in so far as possible, fair prices for corn, beans, peanuts, hogs and cattle this fall.
