The Price of Liberty Bonds

There is a good deal of foolish talk about the sale foolish talk about legislation to prevent it; that is, to make it crime to sell the bonds below par. Why bonds are sold is explained in the following news item from New York paper:
 Another sensational decline in United States liberty loan per cent bonds yesterday carried the price down to 96.70 the lowest yet touched. The S1s per advanced from SPA 9s50 which only slight reaction occurred during late trading The theory again advanced that very rich were selling their per cents, they subject to the war tax, except in very limited amount, whereas the original issue of 3l4 per cents is exempt.
 The multimionaires have been getting affairs in shape to make their tax returns early in the year. and it is explained have been accommodating the tax exempt bonds and selling other securities which do not carry the same privileges The per cents bought for patriotic purposes and these men willing to take the comparatively small loss now that the government has received the money.
 It has also become more evident that many small investors have adopted the practice.
 We suppose great many buyers of the bonds bought them not because they expected to hold them until they should bear premium; they did not buy them income producers; they bought them because the government needed the money and the same time they figured that if they themselves should need money they would sell the bonds for what they would bring and pocket the oss if any The loss represents contribution to the government. The government had got it's money for the bonds and that was all it wanted

COMMERCIAL REVIEW

NEW YORK, Jan. 1l.-DunS to- morrow will say:
 Indications of reviving activity have appeared in certain quarters where a decided halt had resulted from annual adjustment or other couses and the improved manifest in many directions at the opening of the new year has continued in evidence. But while transactions have in some instances perceptibly enlarged, and though in the east the moderation of tempera- lures has brought welcome relief and betterment in working conditions, there remains considerable hesitation nearly everywhere because of existing doubts as to future economic changes, and severe storms in the west have seri- ously hampered business.
 From an operating standpoint the general industrial situation is far from satisfactory notwithstanding reports of a freer movement of fuel in some sections, and the cur:aiiment of pro- duction has unfortunately been eX- tended at a time when the pressure of war needs calls for capacity running at many establishments. With out puts further reduced, it has become increasingly difficult and in some cases impraticable to meet all civilian requirements and not a few profitable contracts have of necessity been re- jected.

A PAclFIsT's INCOME REVEALED

The Journal des Debats of Paris, in a leading tce referring the in the chamber deputies the other day when the premier M Ribot, denounced a Paris daily newspaper, says:
 The worst kind of pacifst propaganda is that crafty perfidious hidden kind which is lated in article tract but which manifests itself in the presentation of facts in such way to de- moraze the spirit and weaken the heart It is campaign of this nature to which reference was made in the chamber by M Ribot regarding the newspaper in questionable Bonnet Rouge-for everybody names it openly. It's tendencies known to everybody. But people have been asking: Where did it get it's money from? People made good guess and now know. The revealing check was seized at the frontier, and made payable to person whom many suspected The rest of the story will be told when the trial comes on."-From the London Globe

 The wholesale price of potatoes has experienced a slight drop within the last few days. Greater transportation facilities is lowering the price. The hay market is very quiet just now which is usually the case during and after the holiday season. Dealers are still paying from s25 to BPS per ton for alfalfa hay.

OF such death at Camp Gordon or

WEATHER AND CROP CON-
DITIONS FOR GEORGIA

ATLANTA, GA-The weather
during the past week was favorable
tor the growth of vegetation and
crops all made excellent progress.
Showers were frequent and apparent
ly well distributed, and there are now
few complaints of drought and equal
ly few of excessive precipitation. \
little more sunshine would be bene-
hcial, but on the whole conditions
throughout the State arc satisfactory.
Cotton made growth, is fruiting we'll.
and opening rapidly throughout the
southern division. The greater
amount OF moisture this week some
what increased the activity OF boil
weevils and red spiders in the south.
There is moderate amount of she'd
ding and some rust. Early corn was
improved by the rain and is practical
ly made; late corn is doing we'll. Pull
ling fodder is becoming more general.
Sweet potatoes are being marketed
from southern counties. Peanuts,
cane, and rice are promising. Plant
ing TALL gardens and turnips is going
on. Hay crops are lair to good. Peach
shipments are over, except that some
late peaches remain to be Shipped
from northern districts. Pecan trees
have shielded nuts considerably dur
ing the season on account OF the light
rainfall. A large majority of CORES
pondents report work of laying by
crops completed; certainly crops at
this time are mostly clean and well
cultivated.

CROWDER GATES TELLS
NAVY EXPERIENCES

J. Crowder Gates, a Fitzgerald boy
now at the Charleston Naval Train
ing Station, in an interesting letter
to the Leader Enterprise, relates
few of the interesting incidents of his
training school experience. The first
thing the prospective Jackie must
learn is the art OF hammock sleeping.
They sleep suspended in these inse-
cure rests six or seven feet above the
deck.
Washing clothes is another. Crow
der says that habit is an awful thing
and he fears that when the war is
over and his term expires that he
won't feel at home unless he can do
the family washing. Although hiking
is not exactly seafaring occupation,
the boys at the training school get
plenty of it. On the hikes and at all
other times, the c. p. c., the "chief
petty officer is one of the main draw
backs to navy life, taking the same
position on the sea as the top-searg-
ant on land.
His letter rings throughout with
the confident patriotism typical of the
American morale on land or sea.
