Victory Loan
Largely Oversubscribed is
Opinion of Officials.

Washington, May 10 The
fifth and last popular loan of the
United States has been oversub-
scribed. Although the approx
mate total subscriptions will net
be known for nearly two weeks,
figures available tonight showed
that the American people had
responded generously to the APP
peal to ''finish the job"
Like all of IFS predecessors, the
Victory Liberty Loan suddenly
jumped on the last day of the
campaign above the mark set as
its limit. The day brought an
avalanche of subscriptions which
banks could not attempt to
count until next week. None of
today's harvest was included in
the total of 1919, 83S, 900 sub
scriptions officially tabulated to-
night by the Treasury, and of
liciais would not be surprised to
see the final figure go to nearly
six billions. Only "a, 800, 00O,-

COTTON PLANTING REDUCED

Let Us look the matter square,

dreams take care Of themselves.
We are III d serious fix through

The farmer wants money. 81

have been in nearly five wears.
Why
Because the price Of cotton will
not recOup til farmer for his ey-

All kinds Of theories have been
thrown at the farmer to ease hi,
mind and to encourage him in
thinking the price will 90 back
little later on. without giving any
reason why it should 90 back to
higher levels.
The most feasible that We have
heard Is reduced creage-ona
third less at least. for the coming
crop. Our farmer friends will
naturally ask how that will "a
eve the present situation. An
sWerfng that query we will say
that II every cotton planter will
reduce Lfs acreage one-third he
Will not only reap benefit from
nigh prices for the next crop but
the present prices will immediate

as the short acreage is made

then find yourself handicapped by
having no funds with which to
improve your property or carry
on your necessary farm operat-

you are satisfied before you buy.
