HANDLED MANY FIELD MEN
PUTTING OVER BIG LOAN

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 25.-A very lib
eral share of the credit for the sue
cess of the Fourth Liberty Loan in
the Sixth (Atlanta) Federal Reserve
District is due Haynes McFadden,
the brilliant young editor of The
Southern Banker, who had charge of
the twenty-eight field men assigned to
the twenty-eight zones throughout
the district, and who devoted prac-
tically all of his time to the campaign
for several weeks.
Mr.. McFadden has given his serv-
ices freely and effectively in the pre-
ceding Loans, but his task this time
was the greatest of all, owing to the
stupendous amount of the Fourth
Loan. His twenty-eight field men
were directly in charge of the details
of organization on the ground in the
twenty-e5ght zones throughout the
district They were the connecting
links between the local committees OF
citizens and the District executive
committee in Atlanta.
