WAR SAVINGS TO HELP
PAY COST OF VT VAR

Atlanta, Ga. Novem ~" IA
Americans can pay the cos of the
war by buying war securities or pay
ing taxes, and they will shortly have
the choice very directly put up to
them. That is why the War Saving
Stamp organization OF Georgia is max
ing a special effort to induce the peo-
pie to redeem their pledges for the
purchase of w. S. S. 1t is to the ad-
vantage of the people to buy these
securities. A war cost paid by taxa
ton must be paid more quickly than
a war cost paid by sale Of securities
OF course the securities have to be
paid, but this can de done by distri
buting the payments over long per
iod, thus tightening the burden of
taxation. War Saving Stamp are the
best investment you can make. and
are the most convenient investment
on the market when it come to
terms Of purchase.

TIME

Crisp county has gained some
what in its cotton ginning record. On
this years reports the cotton growers
were behind on the last accounting
had but now figures are better and it
appears that there will not be such
a great shortage.
On October IS last year, according
to government reports, Crisp had gin
ned 1924 bales of cotton. The same
day this year Crisp had ginned 1890
bales. This is less than 1000 bales
short In all probability the shortage
will remain, as there are indications
that the crops is as we'll in now as at
