Associated Press Dispatch.
Amsterdam, Feb. 9.—Dr. Von Seyd

Polish deputies against special de

FARMERS SHOULD BUY BONDS.
Special efforts should be made to
reach the farmers in placing the third
Liberty loan. We refer particularly
to the farmers of Arkansas, though
this applies to farmers generally and
especially to southern farmers.
No one questions the patriotism or
the loyalty of our farmers. The fact
that they have not bought largely of
I iberty Bonds is easily accounted for.
The south knows little of bonds and
has never invested in them to any
great extent. But the time has ar
rived when the south must learn.
The plain f^cts should be put be
fore our people. These facts are
easily understood and are most im
pressive. The government has said
to the people of this country, “Buy
these bonds, “the safest investment in
the world, today, help your country
win the war speedily and get four per
cent annual interest for your help, or
refuse to buy these bonds and be
forced to give the government the
necessary money in taxation.”
There is the proposition bluntly and
frankly stated.
There is much idle money in Ark
ansas banks and in Arkansas homes
that should go into Liberty Bonds.—
