Greatest and Safest Of All Invest.
ments; Be a Shrewd Money
Maker
Did you ever own a bond?

Did you ever own bond?
1t is the greatest and safest of all
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 bond is returned to you
in full at the end of a 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
yestors 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 its bonds sell above par
because they are always "as 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.

States government in order to win the

ALL ARE URGED
TO PARTICIPATE
Make War Loan the Chief Sub
ject Of Discussion in
Your Home
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 &C
cording to their districts. Our dis
trict, the sixth, includes Georgia, Flor
ida, Alabama and approximately hall
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. It
will be strange indeed If the people OF
this prosperous section are not
among the largest purchasers Of Lib
erty DOndS.
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 chief 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.

u. 5. 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 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,
too, that this $50 is not 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 coun-
trys neck. Order at least one Liberty
bond today.

Work Of Selling Liberty
Bonds a Patriotic Duty

The sale of the Liberty Bonds in
the Fourth Federal Reserve District
is being handled without expense to the
government. w. G. Wardlaw of Atlanta
is chairman Of the general committee
in charge Of the sale of the bonds, and
st. Elmo Massengale is chairman OF
the publicity committee. Both are
serving without pay. No money is be-
ing paid any newspaper, and the adj
vertising and publicity copy is being
written without charge. The leading
financiers Of the South are devoting
their entire time to the work. 1t is a
pleasure to this paper to be able to
assist, also without pay.
