FORCES ARE READY
FOR Big bOND[)RIvE
SIXTH DISTRICT ORGANIZED FOfss
THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
CAMPAIGN.
FIELD FORCE IS NOW BUSY
lcatonaS Work Awakens People
TO Dangers Facing
@ Nation

Atlanta. - With the Third Liberty
Loan campaign approaching, every ef-
fort is being exerted by the sixth FED
eral Reserve District Executive Com
mittee to complete the organization OF
every county. For two months 1orce
of forty field representatives has been
paving the way for the loan with a
great educational campaign. Commit
tees have been re-organized and eV-
erything is in readiness for the drive
which is expected to begin early in
April.
The reports from field represen-
tatives on the organization work have
been very encouraging to the execu-
tive committee. 1t is realized, how
ever, that it will take the combined ef-
forts of the bankers, manufacturers,
merchants and farmers to put the
Sixth District cover the top in this
campaign. The minimum allotment
for this district in the second cam
paign was over-subscribed, but it will
take harder work to make the Third
Liberty Loan success.
Committees Organized
The central organization will be the
same as in the previous campaign. M.
B. WeIlborn, chairman of the board of
the Federal Reser1e Bank being chair
man. w. C. Wardlaw is chairman of
the executive committee st. Elmo
Massengale again will direct the pub
Hcity campaign, w. J. Rudland, an ex-
perienced sales manager has been
placed In charge of the field force.
Money Needed
It has been repeatedly pointed out
by Government officials that the re-
suit Of the world conflict depends
very largely upon the success of the
successive bond issues. The full force
of America, in resources, men and
money, must be hurled against the
Hun to crush the military ambitions
of Germany and make the world safe
from the menace Of Prussian auto
Gratis. This cannot be accomplished
unless the government is given the
use Of every dollar needed to furnish
supplies and ammunition for the army
which Is being sent to France.
Money is not taken from circulation
when invested in Liberty Bonds. 1t
Is spent right here at home in the
purchase Of supplies and furnishes en-
ployment to those engaged in work on
government contracts. The expendi
ture Of these great sums of money has
made this section of the country pros.
porous The war is responsible for
the high prices farmers are receiving
for their products. The wheels of the
great industries have been kept busy
and the wage earners are drawing
high salaries.
Whether the next bond issue is a
success win dapend upon the effort
of every individual in the district. The
money cannot be- raised without per
sonal sacrifice. The Government ap
peals to every individual to invest tc
the extent of his ability.

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply few drops then lift corns or
calluses off with fingers
no pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether hard
soft or between the toes, will loosen
right up and lift out, without particle
of paiN or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is a
compound of ether discovered by a Gin.
cinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
trit1e, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly
the soreness disappears and shortly the
corn or cal1us will loosen and can bs
lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out the
corns or calluscs but shrivels them with
out even irritating the surrounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore.
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. II your druggist don't have
freezone have him order it for ycu.

FARMERS RIGHTS
= S7AkED IN WAR
"FrecGor OF Seas" viii Keep Europ~
h can Markets Open To Ameri-
can Producers

SoENern farmers have as much as
stake n this war as any other Ameri.
cans.-It is their war.
We are fighting for the freedom
Of the seas"-the farmers right to sell
cotton, corn, wheat, rice, etc, abroad.
The determination of the United
States to send supplies and food to the
Al!9s sent the price Of cotton to 80
cents and above, and put the price of
food croD up to the highest figure in
fifty years.
If the Allies win this war American
farmers always can find ready mar
ket in Europe for their products. Thou
sands of ships are being built to send
the crops abroad after the war. But
we must win to do it. Germany plans
to invade this country just as it over
ran Belgium. Evidence in the hands
of government officials proves this
statement. Southern farmers are en-
joying the benefit of their crops now,
but if Germany invades this country
their wives and daughters will be
forced to raise crops for Germany
just as Belgian and French women
and children are forced in the fields
to feed the German army. Their land
will be devastated just as Belgian
farms have been-their land then will
be used to feed Germany and their
crops will bring them nothing.
Farmers Depended Upon
The government always has depend
ed upon the Southern farmer to do
his duty, whether to raise more food,
fight or finance. They have been ex-
empted from fighting thus far to en-
able them to raise more food, and
they have received the highest prices
for their products. Now the govern
ment wants the farmer to help finance
the war. It is just as much his duty
to help Rnance the war as it is to raise
The third Liberty Loan will soon be
foated 1t is the farmers duty to in
vest as much money as they can in
these United States government
bonds. There is nothing hard to un-
derstand about a United States gov
ernment bond. You merely subscribe
through your banker and the govern
ment pays you interest on the invest
ment, giving you the wealth of the
whole country as security. Liberty
bonds are as sound as a dollar.
