BUYING BONDS
Is NOW A HABIT

To buy Liberty Bond has become
a habit with the people of the United
States, growing habit. and no one is
complaining. This is proven by the
figures.
On May 2, 1917, the First Liberty
Loan was announced and the cam
paign began one month later. Two
billion dollars in 312 % bonds we're Of
fered and brought four and one half
million subscribers The subscrip
tons amounted in all to more than
three billion dollars, of which only
two billion We're allotted. The out
standing feature Of this first loan was
the promptness with which it was ar
ranged and conducted. Taking only
two weeks to be formed and selling to
four and one half million people
where only 300, 900 people were habit
ual purchasers of bonds. presents al
most miracle in finance.
To the Second Liberty Loan. offered
for sale Oct. !, 1917 and closed Oct. q,
1917, there We're nine million subscrib-
ers and the amount subscribed was
S4,617 ,532, goo. Only $3,808, 766, $50
was allotted. The outstanding feature
of this campaign was the important
part which labor, fraternal organiza-
tions and the women of the country
had in it.
The Third Liberty Loan campaign
wes inaugurated on April 6, 1918, the
anniversary of the entrance of this
country into the war. Three billion
dollars were offered. About seventeen
million people subscribed $4170. 109,-
$50, all of which was allotted. This
campaign was made notable by its
wide distribution among the people
and the large response made to it by
the rural districts.
The newest loan, the Fighting
Fourth, is to be placed on sale Sept
%. The sale will close Oct. 10, a pc
Rod of bat three weeks. Within that
time it will be necessary to sell very
much larger volume Of bonds than was
sold in any Of the three preceding
campaigns. The amount of bonds to
be offered has not been officially an
nounced but because of smaller de
| mands being made upon us to finance
our Allies not more than five billions
may be offered
However. it is certain that the
amount offered for sale will mark the
Fourth Loan as one of the greatest
pieces of governmental financing thai
the world has ever known. If only
five billion dollars of the Fourth Lib
erty Loan are offered for sale and are
disposed of within three weeks, it will
be the largest offering ever made b.
any government and subscribed to il
| SO short time.
The new loan is "'The Fighting
Fourth, title that has been adopted
for it by the Publicity Committee O
the New England District. Our arm,
in France has begun. to take it's stride
and additions to the army from nov
on will show in a growing degree tht
| fighting spirit manifested up to the
| present time. The people Of the United
| States, the stay-at-homes, in subscrib
ing to the Fighting Fourth Libert!
Loan are simply keeping step to tn,
| same tune which is animating our sol
diers and sailors and airmen. -

CONVERSION OF LIBERTY BONDS

1t is often asked by owners of Lib
erty Bonds if it is wise to convert
their first and second issues into high
er interest rate bonds. To them
it should be said that the First 31as
are completely tax exempt and conse-
quently there is a demand for them by
presons subject to high rates of addi-
tional taxes. This demand has caused
them to sell higher in the market than
the other issues. They therefore
should not be converted, but persons
with ordinary incomes will probably
find it advantageous to sell them and
purchase AIS. 1t would seem gener-
ally advantageous to exchange the As
for AIS. This can be done only be-
fore Nov. 8, 1918. Most banks will at
tend to exchanges, sales and pur-
chaseS.

HELP THE GOVERNMENT

Purchasers of Liberty Bonds who
wish to help the Government to the
fullest extent should keep the bonds
which they have purchased, and when
they buy additional bonds do so from
the Government during loan offerings
rather than in the open market, as the
money paid for bonds purchased in the
market does not go to the Government
but simply to previous holders. On
the other hand, those who must real
ize upon their investment can always
dc so at the market price.

MAGIC MESSAGE SENT
 BY RED CROSS WORKER
 BRINGS SOLDIER CHEER

A striking example of the mingled pathos and service of the American Red Cross for soldiers in the camps is related in letter from T. T. Flagler, field director of the Southern Divi- sion, Atlanta, Ga, to Henry $. Thomp- son, director of the Bureau of Camp Service, Washington.
 An extract from Flagler's letter fol lows:
 T was alone in the office one after noon, trying to burn anthracite coal in a wood stove, when there was knock on the door and out of the rain, sleet and snow came one of the best looking types of American manhood have seen in some time. He was of striking appearance and a bad cough which he had and the paleness of his face showed that he was convalescent. He brought a note from his command ing officer stating that the bearer was motorcycle rider and was just get ting over the grip and was very much in need of knitted articles.
 T took the man down to the ware AOQSC, dlIu Ou LllC way QOW AC dACL- toned that several sweaters he had seen had cards on them giving the name of the woman who had knitted them, and asked me if I couldn't get him a sweater with such a card on it, as he wanted to write letter of thanks.
 "On entering the warehouse it chanced that the first sweater l picked up had stitched to it little black-bordered card bearing the name and address of the woman and in little, thin, shaky hand the following words:
 "I am 71 years old, and God bless you, boy
 When the soldier saw the little card he gathered up his helmet, wrist lets, muffler and sweater, and his eyes were actually filled with tears as he turned to me and said, Isn't that splendid? That is just what l wanted?'"

'DINING' TRADE NOT INCOME
Internal Revence Commissioner Rulet Money Spent on Customers May
 n Bs Deducted.

Washington.-'Dining" out-of-towr buyers is a proper business expense for commercial houses and may be de ducted legitimately from earnings in figuring incomes and excess profits taxes, Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper ruled. Many New York and Chi cago jobbers of clothing, millinery, and other merchandise had asked anxious ly for such an interpretation, urging that the cost of meals and entertain ment for prospective customers was no small item. So long as the dinners have business aspect, they may be charged against earnings, the commis sioner decided.

MODERN AUTO BUILDING

ATLANTA, GA.-The demand for
business space here is sttrikingly illus
trated in the conversion of a virtually
new apartment house, costing $4,000
into quarters for an automobile agen-
cy at an additional cost OF $4,000
The apartment house is located on
Peachtree street After September /,
ii will become the quarters of Joseph
{. Blount, distributor for Maxwell
and Chalmers cars. AS remodcllcd by
A. Ten Eyck Brown, the architect,
and A. V. GUIDE, Jr., the contractor, all
semblance OF an apartment house has
disappeared, and in its place is being
completed one of the attractive com
mcrcial buildings which the growth
OF the automobile business in the
southeast has made possible.
The building is three stories and
a basement. The ground floor will
be show room and the upper floors
Will contain storage space. In the
rear there will be additional storage
room in the form of two-story
building. The entire interior of the
apartment house has been removed,
only the walls of the original build
ing remaining, the new arrangement
being especially designed for automo-
bile needs.

RAIL BOARD NEEDS
SOUTH GEORGIA MAN

ATLANTA, GA.-That the election
of L. Volney Williams, of Waycross,
to the railroad commission is reason
ably certain because it would be in
keeping with the policy of giving all
parts of the states representation on
the commission, is the opinion of
many persons throughout the state.
At present, South Georgia has no
representation on the commission and
is recalled that when the railroad
commission was increased from three
20 five members in order that the op-
Eortunity for wider representation
might be made. At present all the
members are from the northern half
of the state, and while no particular
i'll feeling attaches to this, it is be-
licvcd that the interests OF the entire
state can be better attended to if all
sections are represented.
Mr. Williams is one OF the leading
citizens Of South Georgia, and IS well
qualified for the position. His ex-
per:cICe as newspaper man, as a
legislator and as a citizen will stand
him in good stead in such an Office.
Waycr9ss itself is regarded az the
gateway &c that section of the state.
and M. Williams has been connected
with the industrial development of
Georgia for many years. For these
reasons, hundreds of citizens are urg-
ing his election.
