NEGROES SUBSCRIBE
FOR LIBERTY BONDS

ATLANTA, Ca, April 20.-Sub-
scriptions from negroes of $500 and
less are being reported from the tour
of the Liberty Loan relic train number
one, now passing through central
Georgia.
One of the most noticeable things
about the crowds which have gather
ed about the train at every stop has
been curiosity not only in the nipple.
raents of war and the French relics,
which is only natural, but in the sub
ject of the Liberty Loan.
Since subscriptions are always
taken wherever stops have been made.
this fact has come forcibly to the at
tention of the workers on the train.
In most instances, the colored men
are paying the full amount of the
subscription The response from them
has been quite as enthusiastic as from
the white people
In addition to the amounts which
have been raised by the workers on
the trains, the local committees in ev-
cry town where the train has stopped
have been able to secure more after
the departure of the train. In Cleve-
land, Tenn, $4,000 was thus raised,
in addition to the subscriptions taken
while the speaking was going on.
Up to date, there has been very bad
weather, but in spite of snow, rain
and sleet, thousands have waited for
hours until the trains came in, and
then have mobbed the exhibits to such
an extent that the tired workers who
have the relics in charge have been
hard put to it to handle the crowds.
The entertainment furnished the
trains by the local committees where
meal and night stops have been made
has been very fine. On reaching For
syth, Ca, the location Of Bessie Tiff
College, two hundred students met
the train singing patriotic songs, and
escorted those on board to the college
grounds not far from the station where
a most delightful breakfast was serv-
ed.
Similar entertainment has been ac-
corded wherever a stop has been made.
Nothing like it has been seen in the
South. The country people are join
ing with the town people in boosting
the bonds and backing up the gov
| eminent in the war.

War on Cats Continues.

WAYCROSS, Ca, April 2O.-"The
cat must go!" is the slogan adopted by
a great many Waycross people who are
trying to raise chickens. So much has
been said about aiding the government
and the high price of meat has caused
great many Waycross people to de-
eide to raise chickens this spring, but
the cats have put number of would
be poultry raisers out Of business and
greatly discouraged others. One en-
thusiastic poultry raiser, for whom the
cats killed an even dozen fine young
chickens in one day has declared his
intention of becoming shining sue
cess as a cat-killer in the near future.

shipments by the government recent
