farmer TO PUT
LIBERTY LOAN
OVER TOP AGAIN

Atlanta, Ga.-The Treasury Depart
ment of the United States is depend
ing upon the farmer to put the fourth
Liberty Loan triumphantly over the
top in the South, just as he did in
the Third Loan, when the percentage
OF subscriptions from the rural dis
tricts was very high, the farmer sub
scribing to by far the greater share OF
the issue.
The card system to be used in this
campaign will enable the committees
and the government to keep careful
check on tho subscriptions made by
every man in the country, and by ev-
cry occupation. The government is
anxious that every citizen own at
least few Liberty bonds, and those
who are shown on the record not to
have invested at all will be especially
solicited.
Reports from the county chairmen
Of Liberty Loan committees to w. G..
Wardlaw, district executive chairman,
and st. Elmo Massengale. director Of
publicity, indicate absolute optimism
for the Fourth loan, despite the high
er quotas assigned every territory.
Cur people have given their sons
and brothers to this war;" they say.
DO you think they are not going to
back up the boys with their dollars?"
Cur Southern farmers, too, have
been taught the value Of bonds as an
Investment, too. The other campaigns
were campaigns Of education. but this
isn't SO necessary now. Every man
who has bond or two tucked away
in. his strong box or in the bank is
anxious to put few of the Fourth
issue beside them"
The campaign for the Fourth loan
will continue only three weeks, from
September 28 to October 10, inclusive
Within that time each county and
state must raise its quota II will take
hard work on the part of the. commit
tees, and this will be made much cas-
Ter by every mans making up his
mind what he can invest in bonds and

When the sterilization policy re-
garding cotton seed was adopted on
recommendation of the producers, it
was recognized that seed would be
likely to find their way into the mar
kets more readily than in former
years, since there was no incentive

Members of the Florida delegation
are urging upon the house committee
on agriculture the necessity for the
earliest possible action upon the Har-
rison bill which provides for standard
ization of naval stores. There is ev-
cry indication that this bill will be
favorably reported in about week
with recommendation for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 in addition to
"a $4,000 appropriation in the agri-
cultural bill, for the u. S. Bureau of
Chemistry to continue it's work for
standard types of rosin and for proper
grading and guaging and labelling of
turpentine to safeguard against adul-
teration.
Besides the promises given direct
by General Director McAdoo, the
Florida congressman are receiving
confrmatory letters from other Off
cials in the railroad administration
One of these received by Congress-
man Clark, from w. L. Barnes, of the
Car Service Section, gives the assur-
ance as follows:
eve are now advised by Regional

CAPTAIN ANTHONY

Capt. w. H. Anthony, so years of
age, a veteran railroad conductor who
formerly ran on the Live Oak, Perry
and Gulf railroad and previous to that
between Augusta and Atlanta, died in
Washington Wednesday where he had
been for more than a year and as
messenger for Congressman Frank
Clark, chairman of the house commit
tee on public buildings and grounds.
Capt. Anthony's home was in Lake
City, where the body has been ship
ped for burial beside the grave of his
wife. The deceased has a son, Gard
ner Anthony, living in Mayo. A
severe attack of pneumonia was the
cause of Capt. Anthony's death.
During his services at the capital
the deceased had made many friends
by his unfailing courtesy and readi-
ness to be of service. Many costly
floral remembrances were. sent by
members of Congress.
Congressman Clark paid strong
tribute to Capt Anthony at services
held in Washington before the body
was shipped for burial. He said:
81 have never seen a more sincere
ly helpful and conscientious man In
my Office. He performed his duties
religiously and / will have a hard
time getting readjusted to conditions
without him. Captain Anthony was
gentleman with whom it was a pleas
ure and an influence for good to be
associated. I will miss him keenly."
