BUYING WAR SAVINGS
SIGN OF GRATITUDE

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 16.-Arc you
glad the war is over? Are you glad
that the boys are coming back Are
you glad the world has been made a
decent place to live in?
If you are, show your gratitude by
purchasing War Saving Stamps on
Thanksgiving Day. You may be sure
that they will be worth a premium
within a few months The govern
ment is going to keep on issuing War
Saving Stamps and selling them to
the people. They are the greatest
institution that has come out of the
war, from a financial standpoint.
Americas great bcsetting sin has
been the sin of extravaganza, and
War Saving Stamps are the best cure
for it ever devised.
Georgia is far below other states in
per capita sales of War Saving
Stamps. The people have been giving
SO much attention to Liberty Bonds
and other war activities that the full
Importance of War Saving Stamps
has not been appreciated. Now is
the time to redeem your pledge to
buy thenl-the pledge you signed in
the w. 5. S. drive last June

BLIND TIGER AUTOS

for the fifth circuit to the effect that
the federal government has the right
10 conhscatc an automobile used in
transporting illicit whiskey regard
less OF whether the owner Of the car
permitted such use Of the car or not.
The Georgia bone dry prohibition
laws made special provision to pro-
tect the owners of automobiles in
cases Of this kind This law provides
that an automobile used in transport
ing prohibited liquor shall not be con-
tlscated if the owner is able to prove
to the satisfaction of the court that
it was being so used without his
knowledge Or consent
This was the position taken by
Judge w. T. Newman of the north
ern district of Georgia in a recent
case where the owner OF an automo-
bile showed that he was not respon-
sIble tor using it to transport illicit
liquor. But the circuit court Of ap-
peals reverses this ruling and takes
the machine regardless of the owners
guilty knowledge or innocence.

USES OF THE BLUE, GOLD AND
SILVER STARS ON SERV-
ICE FLAGS

\ blue star is used to represent
each person, man or woman, in the
military or naval service Of the United

For those killed in action a gold
star should be substituted for the blue
star or superimposed upon it in such
d manner as to entirely cover the
blue one.

yer star should be substituted for the
blue star or supcrimposed on it in
such a manner as to entirely cover
the blue one.

from such wounds or gas disable
nents, the gold star will be superim-
posed on silver, in such manner as
to leave silver rim.

ed III line OF duty in military or naval

HELP FROM NORWAY

The kaiser is consistent in his vilainies, and
he will now have to blow up Norways passenger
ships trade ships, ferries hospitals and maternity
homes, for Norway has just concluded trade
treaty with America which, if anything could,
would justify the strafe business to the limit
Under this new commercial treaty Norway
can get from America necessary supplies provided
that no goods forwarded with the aid of Ameri-
can bunker coal get to the kaiser Norway, on
her part, is to furnish nitrates ores and many
other nccessaries of war to America and her allies
and, as America doesn't need these things, they'll
go to England and France.
Our view Of perfect neutrality has been some
what mussed up by events in this war, but we
can't help feeling that the Norwegian neutrality
has sort of Tower of Pisa inclination. And
we're right glad of it.
