FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
CAMPAIGN IS AT HAND

The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign.
TO give every American an opportunity
20 lend to his own government money
to win the war and drive the Hun
back over the Rhine ID now at hand.
In every county In the state there is a
Liberty Loan committee. composed OF
loyal, energetic citizens, who are sub
scribing literally themselves and en-.
couraging others TO subscribe.
1t is believed that the task Of OBJ
tanning subscriptions will be far cas-.
fer In this loan than IN the past, de.
spite the greatly increased quotas
given every goAe and county. Fer,
surely the American people have
learned by this time what . Liberty
Loan means. what II viii do for the
country and what It win do for the
man, whether be be farmer or mer.
chant or laborer. who saves his mon
ey and lends. II, with interest. to
Uncle Sam. There is really no rea.
son why one loyal American should
AdV6 W G0850 &nVSA4Ok A0yAA <AAAluAiSnA
all over q ten-acrc Aeld 10 ask him
70 do his duty.
It is believed that IN this campaign
Q much greater proportion Of citizens
will go voluntarily to the banks or to
the committee and make their sub
scription directly. obtaining Liberty
Loan button and thus declaring they
have done their duty to their country.
A great many Of our citizens have
registered for the new draft, but they
realise that there Ia but slight oppor-
tunity Of their services being actually
required In the war. It would be an
excellent thing II these men whose
names are now on the roll and who
feel sure Of exemption because Of age
or family dependents or disabilities
would consider themselves. even now.
Gin the service. and devote whatever
part Of their income they can spare
to lending TO their government.
The war Is costing the United
States sixty-seyen million dollars a
day. It Is our war, our war bill, and
It De up TO US to pay It.

FARMER TO PUT
LIBERTY LOAN
over TOP AGAIN

Atlanta, Ga--The Treasury Depart
ansnt 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 IL
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 q
the issue.
The card system TO be used in this
campaign will enable the committees
and the government to keep careful
check on the subscriptions made BY
every man In the country, and by ev
cry occupation. The government 10
anxious that every citisen own al
least few Liberty bonds. and those
who are shown on the record not tc
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.
"Our people have given their sons
and brcthers to this war;" they say
do you think they are not going ia
back up the boys with their dollars ?"
'Our 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 q bond or two tucked away

The campaign for the Fourth loan

September 40 to October 10, inclusive.
Within that time each county and
state must raise its quota 1t will take
hard work on the part Of the commit
