"Farmers' proapecta for 191S aro
excocdlngly bright," 11. C. Hoover, na
tional food administrator, declared in
a recent interview, m wnicu no loiti
why ho believes tho fanners of Amer
ica Bhould subscribe to the second
Liberty Ioan of 11)17, when tho call
for popular subscription goes out.
"ISvcry safeguard has been or will
bo created to lusuro an adequate pro
duction of foodstuffs," he declared.
"Tho government Is looking to the
farmers not only to supply a largo part
of the world with food, but also to
perform their patriotic duty In sub
Bcrlbing to the Liberty Loan."
Records show that the farmers of
America playod a very small part '1K
floating the first Liberty Loan. In
nil sections of tho country, the sub
scribers in the rural districts were
few and far between, but at the time
the loan was floated tho farmers wore
straining every nerve to Increase
tholr crop acreage and no special ap
peal was madi to them.
Farmers Will Invest
"This does not indicate; Mr. Hoo
ver said, "that the farmers aro unpa
triotic. When the campaign for sub:
Bcriptlona to the second loan is over,
those In charge of the loan's flota
tion, will, I am sure, find the farmers
roady to Invest The seriousness of
the war with Germany has been
brought home to them In a number of
ways and they have come to realize
that all classes of peoplo must boar
tholr share of the burden.
"Tlirougli tlio operation ot the so
called food control act, tho farmer can
now look ahead, dccldo on tho num
ber of acres of wheat ho will sow and
figure within u few dollars tho amount
ho will be paid for his crop. Ho also
knows that ho will be paid good prices
for other products.
"I'rlccs for this year's crop of
wheat were not definitely fixed by
Congre s, but that body authorized tho
food administration to fix a price and
it bus done so. The basic price i.s
$2.20 and the crop can bo converted
into money as fnst as elevators, rail-
ways and mills can absorb the supply.
"This clause is contained in tho
food control act: "Die guaranteed
price for tho several standiud grades
of wheat for tho crop of 1JJ1S lia-i be'en
Imed on No. 1, Northern Spring, or
its equiMitcnt, at not less than J-'.OO
por bushel at tho principal Interior
primary markets. This guarantee is
hereby made absolute and shall bo
binding until May J, 1919.'
"With assurances of good prices for
his products and of an adequate sup
ply of labor, there is ovory reason why
tho farmer Bhould subscribe liberally
to the second Liberty Loan."
Defense Council at Work,
Labor has born one of tho rhlof
eources of the farmers' worries, but
ho has every assurance In tho world
that the government will not sit by
and see his products go to waste in
tlio field. Next year ho will still have
tho help of tho many froef employment
bureaus, established by the Council of
National Defense, in securing fnrni
hands.
Another agency Is at work, placing
men whore they can best serve their
country In this war omorgency. l is
tho United States Public Servlco' Re-
ecrvo, an official national organiza
tion, conducted by tho United S(atc3
Department of Labor. Jn all parte of
the country men aro bolng enrolled In
its ranks, and tho farmer will receivo
his share of attention from thoso In
chargo, There is nothing compulsory
about tho organization, but through it
thousands will bo fittod into tholr
proper places In tho great war ma
chine which must bo built in ordor to
liaston tho day of peace.

of America in a year, through tho rlso

Church
A most successful revival consist
ing of a series of meetings (lasting
for nearly three weeks and terminat
ing on Tuesday night of last week)
was held at tho Pawnee Union church.
Tho services wore ably conducted by
the well-known and much distin
guished pastor and missionary, the
Hev. L. S. 1'orr.v from Chase county.
Nebraska. . As the people, of Pawnee
bod the nleasuie a little over a year
ago of listening to that much noted
and eloquent lecturer and patriot and
then fully realized the invuiuuble ser
vices rendered, they all without ex
ception felt much animated and great
jov was manifested when they heaM
that tlio reverend gentleman was just
once again in their midst. As a token
of his work, respect and appreciation
the vast audience were not confined
to this ono township, Pawnee; it ex
tended not only to adjacent townships
but also to adjacent counties, conse
quently tho edifico (though large and
MimplntiHl was crowded to overflowing:
each succeeding night causing seating
accommodation more oiiucuit. no
(tlio reverend gentleman) styles and
preaches on "Christ's Church" and
does not allow instrumental music du
rini Dlvlno service, not that he is in
any way antagonistic to organ music,
etc.. but tnat it is not exactly tiesirauiu
during church service. As regards vo
cal music ho is in quite accord, each
night during the levival the choir
sang, the reverend gentleman partic
ipating. His voice is sweet, clear, and
sang with much melody ami solem
nity. Immediately after hymning,
singing and prayer, the reverend gen
tleman lectured each night for a per
iod of two hours, speaking at all times
r,Tni Mm vm'iniis texts witii treat em
phasis, force and elegance, the vast
uudicncc greaiiy uunicicu uy iu
speaker's wonderful intellect, his mag
netic powers of mind, and "oratorical
elegance. I wish to note that tho re
vival was a complete success from
start to finish and tho reverend gen
tleman was able to congratulate him
self that his labors were not in vain
as lio gained many converts to Christ's
Church.
