LIBERTY BONDSilN
PAYMENT FOR LAND
Well Known Alliance I .and Mini
(liven ItoANOiin for TnkliiK Itonds
on llo lltitle Karma, $
J. C Mct'orkle, mnnmrpr of the Ne
braska tand company (if Allinnce,
baa lasued the following statement
regarding the proposition of accept
ing payment for llox Unite lands for
farms:
"Last evening while swinging In
our hammock, a gentleman came
passing by and 1 called to him, ask
ing 'When are you coming in to buy
a farm?' I stated that his competi
tor had bought one and be should
keep in line with competition. He re
marked that he had to buy liberty
bonds with his money. I advised him
tbat we would accept his bonds as
payment on land and he challenged
our right to do this. Now look here.
Let us appeal to reason let us give
you an example of what wo have
done and you will see that we have
dour right and helped to win the
war and feed the soldiers, by accept
ing bonds as payment on land.
"First, we should all be able to ac
knowledge the Great Creator and we
know He made this earth and all
tbere la on It, and He has provided
rain and sunshine to produce the nec
essary crops to feed the people,
wbere the people do their part, and
we all know that the world has peo
piesta rvlng for the want of adequate
production and we all know that
abont 75 per cent of our land Is lying
Idle and has been ever since It wan
created and we- believe that II was
created) for the purpose of producing
tbe necessaries of life and we know
tbat it Is the base of all existence.
We know that our title would not bo
good if we allowed the Kaiser to lick
us. and we know that the bonds are
Issued to buy tbe products of the soil
and support the army while we lick
tbe Kaiser. We know that our titles
and bonds will not be good If we do
not feed our army and the starving
people of the world.
"Now last spring we sold 180 acres
of land that had never been put In
use. Sold It to a man who had been
patriotic enough to buy bonds with
bis surplus cash and who was not
afraid of the value of the bonds, but
bad reason enough In his head to
nay. 'Now I have done my bit in help
ing; furnish Uncle Sam money to whip
tbe Kaiser, but If I lay these bonds In
the safe and just go to them two
times each year to clip the coupons
and demand my interest, I would be
a leacb on the public' So he decid
ed if he could find a good farm, he
would help feed the army In addition
to helping finance It. He came to the
Nebraska Land company and offered
his bonds as payment for idle lands
and agreed to put It all into cultiva
tlon and crops If we would exchange
the title to the land for bonds. We
aald. 'Sure, Mike, If bonds are not
rood', titles are not good, and we will
exchange and you can put the land
to work.' We made the trade; he
broke the land up. planted about on
half to beans and the balance to
spring rye. Now we estimate that
hss 2,000 bushels of rye worth
$3,000 and wil have 800 bushels of
beans worth $4,320. We sold bin
the land for $7,100. so he has $220
more crop than he paid tor the land
and he paid it in honds. Now he
says that he will put the $7. 320 into
bonds for the next loan and exchiinee
tbem for more land, thereby helping
to finance the next loan and doubling
hia bit In feeding the nriey while
whipping the Kaiser, and at the same
time leaving him the farms paid for
when the war is over.
"So do not be afraid that foil are
doing wroni by trading Vour bonds
for lnnd. Don't be a leach on the
public hv ntaelaft vour bonds in the
safe and going to them twice each
year to demand your interest from
the helpinc public, but exchange
them for Idle lands if possible. Make
the land help feed the armv and the
starving eople of the world and at
be same time leaving yourself more
value than you had when you bouvht
the first bonds. You can do this the
san- as the party described above.
So jitst get into your car and drive
four n;il"s northwest of Alliance to
the t&hk 9t 17-2r,-48. Just south of
the county farm and ,-ee the hoaas
and rve for yourself 3r what this
man has done and do likewise.
The Nebraska Land company wlU
furnish you with food raw litnds'and
accept vour bonds as payment, pro
vided you win Improve and raise
something on it to food the army
while whipping the Kaiser."

Our Situation.
The situation which the United
States faces In Its efforts to maintain
a fair distribution of sugar to ths Al
lied world Is as follows:
Sugar auppliea throughout the coun
try, in Homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at a low ebb. We must
make increased sugar shipments to tbe
Allies.
Production of American beet and
Louisiana cans cropa have been dlaap
polntlng. Porto Rico crops have been cur
tailed. Immense sugar stocks In Java can
not be reached on account of the ahip
ping shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirement
have increaaed as well aa those from
the Allies.
Most induatrles using sugar have had
their allotment reduced by one-half:
some will receive no sugar.
Households should make every ef
fort to preserve the fruit crop without
sugar, or with small amounts of sugar
Later, when the sugar supply Is larg
er, the canned fruit may be aweetened
as It is used.
