Letter to a Farmer on Liberty Loan Participation
A town man on a salary urges Mitchell farmers to join Liberty Loan subscribers. He contrasts price rises for goods with farmers profits, warns the farmer to act or be labeled nonparticipating, and urges buying war bonds of 50 or 100 dollars to support the war effort. He argues the farmer benefits from higher prices and war-goods inflation while the town resident bears higher living costs. He stresses personal sacrifice, says his son serves in France, and asks the farmer to phone the bank immediately.
