$50 bond at least" he insisted "The
commander will arrange to hold
small payments our of your pay and
you'll have bit of nest-egg whers
you get back from France How
about taking your subscription"
I'D rather draw all my pay thank
you" he said. Il may need it. But
you can put me down for bonds to
that amount"
The check was made. for $4,000
The private was w. ]. Etherington,

trolling interest in one of the big coal
companies. He subscribed $4,000 to

McADOO APPEALS TO
FARMERS TO BUY BONDS
Twenty Million Subscribers Needed To
Make Third Liberty Loan
Complete Success

Atlanta.-"The more people who buy
$50 bonds and 500 bonds and $500
bonds, the better it is for America
and the more discouraging it is to Qua
enemies!"
This is the message which Secretary
OF the Treasury McAdoo bore to the
people of the Sixth Federal Reserve
District in his tour Of the district last
week in the interest of the third LIB
erty Bond campaign.
Speaking before thousands Of people
in six cities of the Southeast, the Sec
rotary was cheered to the echo BY his
immense audiences, as he told of the
needs of the government, the character
OF the bonds, and made a stirring plea
Tor every man, woman and child in
the district to get into this war which
is now being waged for their liberties,
II only by the purchase of the smallest
bond.
Mr.. McAdoo made it plain that with
out the aid of the farmers of the
South, of the merchants and profes-
s1onal men and all the laboring classes,
the third loan would be a failure.
which would be worse than a German
defeat.
THE banks must perform their nee
essary functions and keep their funds
In liquid form to supply credits to the
industries engaged in the manufacture
OF munitions of war and in carrying
on the general business Of the country.
and we must not take all the funds out
OF these banks" he continued.
Want Twenty Million Buyers
DO you know, it would be a most
impressive thing IL we could say to
the Kaiser that not 100000 Ameri-
can citizens, as in the last loan, had
subscribed, but that this issue was
taken by fifteen or twenty million of
American citizens!"
In his speech, which rang from one
end OF the district to the other. the
head OF the treasury traced tho part
winch America has played In hcr one
year or war; how she was forced into
the struggle against her wish, and
only took up arms after all her sacred
rights had been contravened by the
unprincipled Hun. He told how the
American flag was ordered of the high
seas by Berlin, and how the only Amer
lean ships that were allowed to sail
would have had to be painted like a
barber pole in order to escape the tor
pedoes Of the submarines.
In defense of freedom and the
worlds liberty, America has in one
short year marshalled her resources to
wonderful extent, and now at this
great crisis. when the supreme strug-
giles are being waged in Picardy and
our allies are crying for more men
and supplies, it is our problem to
mobilize Americas might for the bat
tlefeld as quickly and effectively as
possible. The only way this can be
done is through the Liberty Loan;
through the subscriptions which must
come from the rank and file of the
people Of America

Appealed to Women.

MI. McAdoo spoke Of the fine work
that is being done by the women OF
the nation, and urged them on to
greater efforts. He stressed the abso-
lutte necessity for saving, both food
and materials of clothing, that our
armies may be fed and our allies sup
piled. He insisted that the people of
this country must learn to sacrifice in
order that the war may be won.
I'VE must realize that we are really
In this war, and that war does mean
sacrifice" the secretary emphasized.
I'VE must learn in the second year
Of the war that we must not indulge
ourselves to the extent that we have
in the past. We must purify our souls
and fortify our souls for this great
and mighty contest which is now pro-
ceeding upon the battlef1elds of Pi-
cardy. And the extent to which we do
that is the extent to which we are GO
ing to help ourselves.
II have been told by some people
that the rate Of interest on Liberty
Bonds is too low, and, therefore, we
could not rely upon the patriotism of
the American people to buy these
bonds. / have been urged to make
the rate Of interest higher than it is
today, in order that the bonds might
sell more readily. l do not believe,
my friends, that it is necessary to
raise the rate Of interest on the bonds
in order to sell them. / do not believe
that the patriotism Of America is ex-
pressed in the rate Of interest on q
Government Bond. l do not believe
that the American dollar is fugitive
and must be chased by high rates of
interest when the governments credit
is back of them
81 want to tell you, fellow-citizens,
because this is your problem, as we'll
as mine, that If we do not all take
an intelligent stand now in favor of
keeping the rate Of interest on gov
eminent bonds stabilized at Az per
annum, unless we are willing to make
a fight to preserve the Governments
credit upon that basis, then it is 60
ing to be the most unfortunate thing
that can possibly happen to the Amer
lean people. We have got to make it
clear to every man, to every woman
and to every child who buys govern
ment bond, that while it may be true
that they could invest their money in
something else that would pay larger
return, they can invest their money
in nothing else that is so full Of blood
and necessity as United States Gov
eminent Bond. If we do the wrong
thing at this time, it comes back to
you"
The response to Secretary McAdoo's
appeal in this territory has been i'm
mediate. Wherever he appeared, the
sales have been boosted to wcnder-
full extent. 1t is now the duty Of ev-
cry man, woman and child in the
Sixth district who reads his words to
make his or her subscription without
delay through the local Liberty Loan
committee.

The Flour Supply

Keep closely to observance OF the

per person per month. Georgias in
ventory reports show this State will
not suffer for flour if the supply with
in our borders is properly handled by
tie holders. So well have Georgia
people supported the food side Of the
war there is an excess amount Of

ther purchases until that on hand has
been exhausted. This is in conform
ity with the spirit of the administra-
tiOn's rulings.

HOMEGROWN THANKSGIVING

Louisville, November - Home
Grown Thanksgiving Dinner" will be
the watchword among the hotels and
restaurants of Kentucky, according to
Lyme Herndon, State chairman of the
Division of Hotels, Restaurants and
Public Eating Places.
From the beginning of its activities
the Food Administration has continu-
ally urged the use of home grown or
local food supplies as a measure
of conservation Mr.. Herndon said.
1.-The use of such supplies saves
transportation The greater the de-
mands upon the railroads and other
means of transportation for space ne
cessary to haul food long distances to
supply our own people in this country,
the less can be done to rush supplies
to armies and to the Allies and thus
speed up the war.
I'm many parts of the United States
efforts are being made to celebrate
Thanksgiving in an unusual way.Many
who know the real situation within
the dominions of the Arch-Foe of civil
lization are convinced that a mighty
effort in every direction on the part of
the United States will bring about the
utter collapse of Germany.
at rests with our people to make
that effort.
"As a distinct measure of food con-
servation, and to demonstrate to the
public how food may be saved by US
ing local supplies, we ask all hotels,
restaurants, clubs and other public
eating places in Kentucky to serve on
Thanksgiving Day a dinner made up
entirely of food produced in Kentucky.
"The number and variety of its food
products is one of the boasts of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky. In fact,
they are so numerous that care must
be used not to serve too many of them.
