Canada's surplus farm pro. ducts could not be sold without the Victory. Loan. If the surplus could not be sold, prices in the home market would go to pieces. It is one thing to raise farm products, but it is another thing to sell them for cash. A large proportion of Cana* dian farm products could not be sold for cash, if it were not for "the Victory Loan. The farmer who invests lir. i Victory Bonds thus helps to pro. tett his own business. LAND TO Y0IIil, COUNTIii:• MANY YOUNG FARMERS HAVE GONE OVERSEAS.

Liberty Loan Set Canadians High Mark The United States did so well in the recent Fourth Liberty Loan cam- paign that Canada, in justice to her- self, must do unusually well in the present drive, or she will suffer by the contrast, The Americans started out withi $6,000,000,000 as their objective. They actually raised $6,86.6,000,000. The number of subset•ibers is placed, at 21,000,000, or about One for every five of the population. To d0 as well as this Canada must raise over $600,000;000, If she se-; cures the same percentage of sub- scribers to the population, instead or having 1,000,000, site will hyo 1,600,000. As can readily be rim - BMA Canadians have their work out out, but they are equal to it. HAS YOUR COM1fiUNIrY AN HONOR. n'LAGI WITH CROWNS?
