SQUAD Raising.

In selecting squad producers 1t must
be remembered that weight and size
are largely Influenced by the hen pi-
geon. When a small hen pigeon ID
mated to a very large male the squads
will not mature to as large a size as
when a small male and a large female
are used. Large, vigorous hens in their
second year are the most valuable pro-
ducers, and they will continue so as
long as their strength and vigor hold
out. Half cared for, poorly fed breed
ers never did and never will bring any
thing but disaster to their owners. On
the other hand, large, strong, thrifty
squads invariably sell quickly at q
good price and give . profit for the

Buying Liberty Bonds Is
Not An Act of Charity

When you buy United States Lib
,erty War Bonds you are not giving
away anything. Your act of purchas.
ing is not an act of charity. What
ever money you have you possess be-
cause you have lived and worked in
the glorious United States. Today the
United States needs ready money to
help win the war, to provide food
clothing and transportation for our
soldier boys. So our government SAYS
to you: Loan us $50 or 800, or what
ever amount you like, and we will pay
you 312 per cent annual interest (pay-
ments every June Is and Dec. 15). and
in addition to that we will pay you
back the entire amount you lent us.
Also, if the interest rate on our bonds
goes up we will advance your interest
to the highest rate"
That's fair, square proposition
You can't lose. The United States
helped you get what you have, and it
is both patriotism and good business
on your part to loan the government
some of your money now. Order
United States Liberty Bonds from
your banker or your broker. Do il
today.

Sixth Federal Bank District Has High
Hopes On Selling United States
Liberty Bonds

President Wilson, the cabinet and
congress are keenly awaiting news OF
the subscription for Liberty bonds.
which the government has issued to
help in the war.
The sale has been arranged through
the Federal Reserve Banks and ac-
cording to their districts. Our dis
trict,' the sixth, includes Georgia, Flor
ida, Alabama and approximately half
of Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisi-
ana Few sections of the United
States have such varied resources.
From the orange groves of Florida to
the steel mills of Alabama, and from
the cotton fields of Georgia to the
rice plantations of Louisiana and the
stock raising section of Tennessee al
most every kind of crop and manu-
featuring industry can be found. 1t
will be strange indeed if the people of
this prosperous section are not
among the largest purchasers of Lib
erty bonds.
The government will be very great
ly disappointed unless this great sec
ton ranks at least third in the volume
of it's purchases of Liberty bonds.
Bankers of Atlanta, Birmingham, New
Orleans, Macon, Chattanooga and
Jacksonville as well as in every small
town in the district, agree that when
the total figures are announced that
the Sixth District will be found to
have done its full part.
But every man, woman and child
must participate Bonds sell as low
as $50 and as high as $4,000.
Make the war loan the CHEZ subject
of discussion in your home. Make sure
that each member of your family
sees his or her duty and opportunity
clearly.
Make up your mind today. Don't
let it be said that you withheld your
help in time of your country's needs.

Money makes the war go.
Have you bought your
bond?
Don't Be Afraid of Bonds;
They're Like Gold Coin

Don't get scared when anybody says
bonds" One reason why most peo-
pie know very little about bonds is
that usually they cost around $1,000
each, and you and l don't buy $1,000
things every day But our United
States is now issuing United States
Liberty Bonds that cost as low as $50,
and it's high time now to learn that
bond is the safest investment on earth.
On the United States Liberty Bond
YOU get S1a per cent interest, payable
every June Is and Dec. Is, and also
you get your entire principal back.
United States Liberty Bonds are GER
tain to become as numerous in the
United States as gold pieces. They
will have wide and ready sale. Any
time you need money, you can take
your bond to the bank and get it..
There isn't real estate dealer any
where, or an automobile maker, or a
grocer who wouldn't be just as glad to
take a United States Liberty Bond as
he would to receive gold coin
If you haven't already ordered your
United States Liberty Bonds, see your
banker or your broker today.

U. S. Liberty Bond Button
Is Your Badge of Honor

Every man, woman and child who
buys Liberty bond will be given a
government button to wear. This
badge of honor will be a sign to the
world that its wearer believes in the
United States, in freedom. in man
hood, in righteousness, and has shown
his faith by his works. Many of us
are not able to fight but there is
hardly any one who cannot buy at
least $50 Liberty bond. Remember.
100. that this $50 is not a gift: it is a
safe and sound investment, free from
taxation, paying interest and repaying
the principal in full. You can't lose.
II you do not buy, both you and
your country will thereby be losers.
Don't be milestone around your conn.
tiy's neck. Order at least one Liberty
bond today.

APPLES AND BANANAS.

These two fruits are seldom alb
sent from any market where fruit
it sold at all because, while apples
grow in various chimes and many
of them keep long time, the bana-
ma can be shipped green and quickly
ripened afterward. Of all of the
fruits that grow in such delicious va
riety these two alone have been ad-
vertised as specific remedies for a
taste for Intoxicating drinks. Plea
SAINT, simple cures for a weakness
that has dimmed brilliant minds and
ruined thousands of promising young
men.
No wonder a philanthropist would
delight to be magician enough to dis
tribute bananas plentifully every
where men congregate.
Air ships may yet revolutionize
the world by quick transportation of
good things to eat. Some where the
sun is shining on fruits that are
wasting their sweetness on a few
wild animals and birds and likewise
forests of rich nuts are going to
waste. What time it will be when
tropical products can be rushed to
market in few hours, when pine
apples from the islands of the Paci-
fic and oranges from the Atlantic can
drop down in the fragrance of per-
lection.
Airships will one day solve our
hardest problems and prevent both
hunger and thirst.

PENCILS.

A pencil is an ever-absent help in
time of trouble A man will carry
a pencil for months with religious
zeal, and upon the day he forgets it
he will need it more than he ever
needed it before in his life.
When you are willing to sharpen
a pencil for any woman, it is either
because you are in love with her, OF
too scared to rebel, or because you
think there is a chance of her shar-
pening it herself.
Pencils are soft, hard, and medi.
UNI. When pencil is too soft il
breaks When it is too hard you can't
write with it. When it is medium
the man has made a mistake and Civ,
en- you one too soft or hard.
To keep your pencil with you SC
you will always be sure to have it
get an iron band riveted around youi
neck or waist and chain the pencil
to Judge.

bid you ever own a bond?

Did you ever own a bond?
1t is the greatest and safest of ali
investments. The shrewdest money
makers are bond buyers. The most
careful investors are bond buyers.
When you buy stock, the money you
pay for it is gone forever. What you
buy is only right to share in divi-
dends, providing there should be any.
But bond is different. The money
you pay for a bond is returned to you
in full at the end of stated period.
You know by reading the bond itself
on precisely what date you will get
back your principal. Then, instead Of
wondering whether you will get inter-
est or dividends on your money, you
also know by reading your bond exact
| ly what rate of interest you will be
paid and on what dates the payments
will be made to you
Insurance companies, colleges, trust
funds and conservative individual in
Vestors buy bonds because they are
the safest kind of investment. Bonds
issued by the United States govern
ment are the most valuable of all
bonds. Our government never fails to
pay: usually it's bonds sell above par
because they are always las good as
gold" The man or woman who holds
United States bonds is free from
worry: the money they cost will come
back in full, and every cent Of interest
will be paid on the appointed days.
Liberty bonds, issued by the United
States government in order to win the
war and re-establish peace on earth,
will soon be ready for sale. You can
subscribe now These bonds are in de-
nominations of $50, 800, $500, $1,000,
$4,000, $4,000 and 100000. You can
buy one or several. Interest is at 80
per cent, payable June Is and Dec. Is
every year. If at later date the gov
eminent should issue bonds at 4, Az,
or any other higher per cent of in
terest, you can at once exchange your
3R per cent bonds for those of the
highest rate. Thus you are protect
ed as to the future. Furthermore, these
Liberty bonds are tax free; hence
your income from them is net, not
subject to any deduction by the city,
county, state or nation.
Every man, woman or child who
buys a Liberty bond will be given a
button t. wear. That button will indi.
cate two things:
THAT its wearer believes in the
investment value OF government
bonds;
2.-That the wearer has done some.
thing to help the United States win
the war. That button will be badge
of honor in all the days to come.

buying the bonds of the richest nation
on earth, the one most abundantly
blessed by nature and by man, the
producer in the greatest quantity of IA

Remember, also, that no other coun-
try in the world leads in more than

none.
Nobody is entitled to any special
