Understood in Country.

+: Those who are in close touch with
farm thought assert that the farmers
have been making arrangements for
weeks to become heavy purchasers Of
the Fourth Liberty Bonds. The nature
and the value of these bonds are now
fully as well understood in the coun-
try as in the city The soundness Of
the investment is questioned in no
community, but the farmer has not
made up his mind to buy them because
of the Investment feature but because
he is convinced that it is the American
and patriotic thing to, do, and buy he
will to the limit Of his ability.
While the farmer. like almost every
other group Of workers, feels that he
has certain grievances that ought to
be adjusted, he is not tagging in sup
port of the war. County organizations
have been kept intact since the close
of the Third Loan, and in most COM
nunities it has been pretty well DE-
cided just how much each man in the
neighborhood should be able to take Of
the Fourth Loan.

A most unfortunate accident
occurred in the city late in the
afternoon Tuesday when MRS. H.
H. Cober, a highly respected
eldery lady of this city, was run
down and killed by an auto
mobile driven by DIR. H. H.
Kinney. The accident happen
ed near the intersection of Main
and School streets, where tele-
phone pole and some trees parti-
ally obstructed the vision ahead.
DR.. Kinney was returning fran
a call to a severely i'll patient
with his car at a rather low rate
of speed rounding a corner and
did not see Mrs. Cober until the
Machine struck her. 1t seems
that Mrs. Cober had stepped
into the street a little way from
the crossing on her way to town
when hit. She was carried into
a nearby residence where she
died in short time without re-
gaining consciousness.
Deceased made her home with
her niece. Mrs. w. L. Jansen,
and was an active worker in both
church and society, having been
in charge of the Red Cross work

that Notwithstanding her old
age. Funeral services were con
Quoted from Grace Episcopal
church by Rev. j. Lundy Sykes,
of Laurel. The remains were
carried to Quincy, ILL.,, her form
er home, for interment.
The sympathy of the whole
town goes out to the bereaved
family and to DIR. Kinney in the
unfortunate accident.

How Much Their Neiehbors

st. Louis. Sept Figures com.
piled from the reports of the three pre-
lceding loans by experts here show that
lin the Third Liberty Loan, subscribed
last spring, the farming communities
were the strongest supporters of the
drive. Forecasts of the coming loan
as prepared by farm club officials,
bankers in touch with the rural com
imunities and officers of the various
farm leagues, indicate that the farm
ers are again going over the top.
Admitting that the corn crop has
suffered material damage in Missouri,
Southern Illinois and Kansas, the gen.
eraf opinion is that the farmer has
made up his mind that he will take all
tof the Fourth Liberty Loan that he
can afford and-more.
He clearly understands that in order
! to win this war the loan must be sub.
iscribed, and he also sees just as clear.
lly that the farmer must do his part in
raising that money. that the merchant
and the professional man. the day la.
borer and the mill hand of the cities,
the factory owners and the employing
classes in general cannot take care OF
ithe loan without the help of the mil.
lions of farmers.
Third Loan Records.
! The carefully compiled reports OF
the Third Liberty Loan show that the
farmers got into the game, organized
themselves as carefully and as thor
cughly as the city population and then
went out and got the money. Since
that time they have perfected their or
iganizations in carrying on the War
Savings Stamp sales. These organiza-
tons have been kept together and
were in readiness to be used when the
Fourth Liberty Loan drive opened.

~Bread Upon The
Waters

The old adage "bread cast upon
the water will return again." is clear
" illustrated in this community by
the recent publication in The Review
Of the financial statements Of the
Bank Of Berwick, Bank Of Morgan
City, Peoples State an Savings
Bank and the First National Bank
Morgan City and Berwick have re-
sponded to the limit to every drive
and campaign made in the interest Of
Liberty Loans, Red Gross, Y. M. G..
A., K. of c., and War Savings. Yet
these statements show condition Of
prosperity for the community and an
amount Of business transacted by the
banks as never before existed. It
seems that the splendid national
spirit possessed by Morgan City and
Berwick, as o1amplified by the ire
quent and deep digging down into
pockets, has created d finer and more
progressive community spirit, caus
ing reaction or rebound that has
added rather than taken away the
material resources of the towns.
All citizens Of Morgan City and
Berwick should be proud Of these
bank showings. They are forceful
advertisement: bringing the atten-
ton of he who may read to one Of
the many reasons why Morgan City
or Berwick is a good place to tie to.
Make reference to them when writ
ing to friends away from here. It
would be move for the good Of the
towns if every business letter CON
tanned as an enclosure all Of these
bank statements printed in a con-
venient form. They tell a mighty
fiae story.

the past the earliest day for new
cotton.
