WORKING ON SALE
ON LIBERTY BONDS

ATLANTA, Ca, June 4.-Splendid
reports are coming from those cities
and towns in this federal reserve dis
trict where committees are organized
and at work upon the sale of Liberty
Bonds. Where there are no commit
tees at work, no work is being done
and nothing is being accomplished.
The Liberty Loan central committee
finds that about half the district is
thoroughly aroused and hard at work,
&hile in other sections there is appar-
ent apathy. The committee says it
means many communities in the dis
trict have not yet awakened to reali-
cation of the fact that the United States
is at war with Germany
Joseph A. McCord, of the federal re
serve bank, which is acting as fiscal
agent for the sale of the Liberty Bonds
i'll this district, said:
From many sections of the district
we have already received good sub
scriptions to the Liberty Bonds. In
others. nothing at all has been done. It
is difficult to understand the reason
for this. Practically every community
in the north and east is thoroughly
aroused and many of them have al
ready over-subscribed their quotas OK
the loan far in advance of the closin5
of the campaign. We are doing we'll
where we are at work. Elsewhere we
are getting no results. If this district
proposes to do it's part it is essential
that every community get busy If any
information or assistance is needed, it
is only necessary to apply to us here
and it will be promptly given"
Those communities which would like
to have speakers come and explain t.
them the Liberty Bond issue and tell
them the reasons why it is necessary
that everybody should participate in it,
nay secure such speakers by CORES
ponding with the Speakers Bureau, F.
&c McDuffie, federal reserve bank, At
lanta, Ga. A number of communities
have already applied for speakers and
arrangements have been made to
have brief 3 to minute speeches made
in large number of theatres and
moving picture houses all over the dis
trict. This plan has already been in
augurated in Atlanta and several other
cities.
The central committee makes the
special request CT merchants and bust
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-06-04

ness men that they will add the fol-
lowing postscript to every letter they
send out:
'P. s.: Have you subscribed to the
Liberty Loan?'
Many merchants over the district
have already agreed to do this, and it
is expected that hundreds of others
will lend this important assistance.
The Liberty Loan central committee
has just received from Washington
Headquarters $4,000 handsome posters
in red, white and blue, which are ready
for distribution all over the district.
1t is especially requested that all
merchants, storekeepers and others
who can use one or more of these post
crs in their windows where they will
be prominently noticed, will send for
them to St. Elmo Massengale at the
federal reserve bank in the Hurt build
ing, Atlanta, Ga He will be glad to
furnish any that are desired.
There are four different posters. On
one of them appears the statue of lib
erty in blue with the following word
ing: IF you can't enlist invest. Buy
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-06-04

and pointing her finger directly at the
reader. The wording is you buy 3
Liberty Bond, lest l perish
The fourth and largest of these post :
ers is worded as follows; Make your,
dollars end the war. Your liberty your
forefathers died for, is at stake. If
You cannot fight, your money can. Buy
a Liberty Bond, and Uncle Sam will
90 the rest"

Liberty Bonds. See your bank today"
On another poster appears the statue
of liberty in brown and black on an in
tense blue background with the word
ing: Have you bought your bond:
Liberty Loan subscriptions received
here" These are especially designed
for use in banks.
On another of the posters appears the
liberty statue holding her light aloft

He who loathes war, and will
do everything in his power to
avert it, but who will, in the
last extremity, encounter its
perils, from love of country
and of home who is willing
to sacrifice himself, and all
that is dear to him in life, TO
promote the well-being of his
fellowman, will ever receive
a worthy homage. - Abbott.

ATTACKS MOTHERS WILL,

Charles ThomRs Goodall today In
situted proceedings in the Probate
Court to break the will OF his mother,
Marcella X. GoodaIl, devising an
estate valued at nearly $1,000 to the
son and three nieces share and share
alike.
The validity OF the will is attacked
on the grounds that the sons in
terests are injuriously affected and
that the instrument was executed
through coercion and at a time when
Mrs. Goodall was incapable of making
a valid will.
The nieces involved are Agnes Bur
CESS, Elizabeth Muller and Daisy
Reed. The caveat was filed by At
torneys Marion Duckett and Son, and
William NJ. levin.

Frank, who for three years was the

A Picture RunninE.
II was beautiful TO watch Frank
run. Head held high. his great mus
cles ripping beneath his velvety
skin, he fairly hew over the ground,
beating q tattoo on the asphalt with
his four weIl-cared-for hoofs.
II was thus that Frank was running
this morning. He reached the corner
Of X street and Twenty-second. He
turned sharply to the left, his foot
slipped. he made a valiant EFFORT to
regain his balance. then the great
horse crashed to the ground.
The nremen jumped from the appa-
ratus. Franks leg was doubled be-
meath him, and the old horse was try
ing with all his beautiful strength to
rise. But the leg sagged pitlfully,
and the pain was evidently terrible.
Down th6 street Frank heard the
clang of the engine The hoofs OF the
gailoping horses grew nearer. the big
engine flashed by. the ciang grew
fainter. In one desperate effort Frank
tried to rIse-to rise and catch the

Frank was trying to rise, and get
to that fire
The doctor gave one look at the
leg. He shook his head, and opened
a satchel. In his hand he held q glis-
tening revolver, and when he went
and stood In front OF Franks head,
the firemen turned away.
Frenk knew the doctor. In times

NEWS FOR INVESTORS.
Banks m U. 8. Agents.

There are more than $4,000 banks
In the United States, with total re-
sources of upward of $4,000. 600. 900
and deposits of more than half as
much. These banks. to say nothing
Of the countless banking houses. will
be unofficial agents OF the United
states in attracting subscriptions to
the Federal financing. The banks will
act from motives of patriotism, and
they will need no prodding by the
Government to bring In the money.
And 1t 1s apparent that the unofficial
agents will not be compelled to prod
the public. In civil war days many
bankers could not be convinced that
the Government would be able to sell
Its bonds at par. and In consequences
they bid for the bonds at prices rang
ing from to Is per cent under par.
Then came along Jay Cooke, who be-
lieved that the Government not only
should obtain par for its wares, but
that the public would pay the price.
And he proved his contention by send
ing agents throughout the country.
who succeeded in selling $510,000.000
five to twenty year per cent bonds
at par at a cost to the Government
of only three-tenths OF ! per cent
The nations credit was low In those
days and the country was poor.

spreekeIs On Sugar Tax.

According to Claus A. sprecksls,
president of the Federal Sugar Re
filming Company, there is good
chance of the price of refined sugar
being almost prohibitive IL a tax of
l per cent a pound should be added
to the country's annual sugar bill.
Mr.. Spteckels argues that II Con.
Eress, as part OF its plan OF increased
revenue, should levy such a tax in
addition to the tariff of 1 per cent
a pound 1t will mean that sugar will
cost the public 81 more q barrel than
at present.
