70 ALI Liberty Loan Workers and
Bankers In The Fifth Federal
Reserve District;

'I have been advised that some of
The banks in the Fifth District are
charging upwards of s percent on
partial payment plans for Victory
Notes." wires Hon. Lewis B. Frank
lin of the Treasury Department "and
that the committees are not calling
sufficient attention to the govern
ment instalment plan whereby final
payment can be deferrd until Nov.1 l
with interest at A per cent upon the
deferred instruments"
Mr.. Franklin asks us that we call
this matter to the attention Of the
Victory Liberty Loan Committees,
and ask them to give special promin-
ence to the government ipstalment
plan of payment and the rate of in
terest charged Oh deferred install
ments under this plan. We gladly
10 so; and, in this connection, your
attention is called to the following
statement issued by the Federal Res
erye Bank Of Richmond under date
of April 21st:
Subscribers who can pay for Vic
tory Loan Notes in full should be al
lowed to do so, but those who can
not should be induced to place sub
scriptions on the government install
ment plan. 1t is wasteful Of credit
to allow subscriber to borrow mon
ey in order to pay in full at once"
We thereby urge all Liberty Loan
workers in the Fifth Disct. to lay
particular stress where subscribers
cannot pay in full upon the govern
ment instalment plan Of payment,
and that, instead of lending money
to subscribers to pay at once, the
banks require them to pay according
to the government instalment plan.

Dear Mr.. Editor

MOTHERS DAY.

The annual celebration of Mothers
Day takes place next Sunday, May
18th.
There could be nothing more fit
ting for us to commemorate. The
earliest recollections of each of us
center in a mothers devotion. e.
No relationship in the world en-
tails as much self sacrifice as that of
mother and child. From utter help
lessness to full maturity, every step
of the child's- life is guarded by the
mothers sympathy and wisdom.
The mothers of this country de-
serve especial recognition this year.
Since entry of America into the war
so many of our mothers have seen
their sons go away at the call of their
country to certain privation and
hardship, to possible death or multi
alton. Courageously and cheerfully
the mothers have made their sacri-
fee. Letting their beloved sons go
with a smile and an encouraging
word, the mothers have devoted them
selves to Keeping the home fires
burning" The remembrance Of the
cheerful and accomplishing mother
at home has helped and strengthened
many soldier on the fields of France
And now the sons are coming
home again with afull sense of what
the mother-love and the mother pres
ence mean in their lives. The OBJ
servance of Mothers Day and the
wearing of the white carnation will
stand for a deeper reality this year
than ever before.
To the gold star mothers, whose
sons cannot come again, the deer
sympathy and appreciation of
whole nation will go out.

Editor of the Highland Recorder:
Dear Friend-As was born in
Monterey l like to write to the peo-
pie of my old home town and tell
them of the beautiful country we
have here.
The oranges on the trees are a
sight any one would delight to see.
The blossoms on the ground, which
have fallen from the trees, look like
the first winter snow in Virginia.
We have flowers all the year round
We have had very nice winter
but not like some we have had.
We are having also lovely spring.
We are living on an orange and
ounce ranch. Father takes good
care of it and keeps it looking nice,
but it takes lots of hard work.
Our school is out the 18th of May,
and I guess there will be many hap
Ply child.
I read the. letters from the soldier
boys every week in the Recorder and
find them very interesting.

the Recorder much success.

SALVATION ARMY DRIVE

| Geo. y. Greene, editor OF the CllI-
| ton Forge Review, who is one Of the
State organizers, was in Monterey
this week, accompanied by Captain
A. T. Francis, of the Salvation Army,
Staunton. The object of their visit
was to perfect an organization in
Highland county for the campaign Of
appreciation to be put on for the
Salvation Army by number of its
friends throughout the United States
to raise thirteen million dollars. The
quota in Virginia is 100000 and of
this amount the people of this coun-
ty are asked for only $1,000, which
is about 20 cents per capita.
After a conference with several
well known gentlemen, Messrs.
Francis and Greene were fortunate to
secure the consent of Mr.. Don Sullen-
berger, of Monterey, to serve as eoun-
ty chairman. Mr.. Sullenberger in
turn called several of his friends to-
1
gether and in a short time the follow
ing organization was agreed upon:
Mr.. w. H. Matheny, assistant chair
man. Messrs. ]. H. Pruitt and Will
lis Gibson, committeeman at large.
H. B. Wood editor the Recorder,
committee on publicity.
The Crabbottom Valley Bank, the
First National Bank and the Citizens
Bank as repositories for the fund.
Those interested and who may be un-
able to get in touch with any of the
committeeman, can leave their con-
tributions at one of the banks.
Next in order was to form district
committees and the gentlemen nam
ed below were selected to serve in the
three magisterial districts as follows:
Stonewall-Hal.G G. Jones, Joseph
H. Hiner, S. w. Wilson and Byron
Bradshaw.
Monterey-Fred Corbett, j. Ed.
Arbogast and VIM. C. Dickson.
Blue Grass Lloyd Chew, George
Gum and Lloyd Bird,
The campaign opens May 18th and
closes the 26th. Between now and
the 10Th Chairman Sullenberger and
his co-wcrkers will add TO the organ
ization and confer win those l.amed
so that Al the proper time the work
C soliciting will be carried on with
ont hitch. 1t will be noticed that
the c. :nmitteemen were picked from
am ng the soldiers who have return
I'd and several civilians. Of all the
people in a position to speak fer the
Salvation Army none are better DUAL
flied than the soldiers vi'o served in
the world war across the seas. The
slogan Of the campo 81 is, "Ask the
Sold crs and Sailors" =
The money to be raised is for the
extension Of the Home Service work
of tie Salvation Army. For the benz
eft of those not acquainted with
what the Salvation Army does, it
may be well to say that it helps the
down and outs, provides milk and ice
for the poor in the congested centres
and bears the expense of fresh air
trips for. the sick children who have
no friends. The half million dollars
to be raised in Virginia will be used
in the State Of course, Highland
county is not directly interested, but
| the people here are indirectly inter-
ested because Of the splendid service

Chaloner Competent Says
New York ,Judpe

New York, May S.-Federal Judge
Frank S. DIETRICH today declared John
Armstrong Chaloner competent for
the purpose of bringing suit in fed
eral court in New York.
Chaloner is suing a newspaper
which asked that the action be
thrown out because the plaintiff had
been adjudged mentally unsound in
this state. A nice question Of law
was said to be involved. Judge Die
trich settled the matter by declaring
that Chaloner was competent to
bring suit, inasmuch as the Virgin
la decree establishing his competency
was issued subsequent New York de-
cree declaring him incompetent.
Judge Dietrich added that the Vir-
ginia decision opens the way for any
citizen of any state to sue Chaloner
in Virginia and that Chaloner's men
tai competency could not be chal-
1enged.

OPPORTUNITY

Notevery man you meet in khaki
had the opportunity to do his best.
But it was not his fault; he was will
ing.
Fellows now in the hospitals still
struggling with the surgeons against
the effect of the German bullets in
their bodies we're willing to die that
peace might be established. There
were men in the rear, and an almost
endless chain from the United States
to France-all eager to get into &C
tion and, if necessary to contribute
their lives to force victory, but they
didn't have the opportunity.
Every civilian, has had AN oppor-
.tunity through the governments ap-
peals for assistance in financing the
war. Every civilian has had an op-
portunity because the war was such
agigantic proposition and the expen-
es so enormous that billions upon bill
VI WClC
ALI appeals have met with ready re
spouse. Each loan has been over
subscribed so far.
Some people, however, might con-
slider that they lacked opportunity
during the war.
The Victory Liberty Loan is an ap-
peal from he government for aid in
settling the business Of the war-a
final appeal. 1t is request for help
in restoring health to the injured
soldiers, and for providing for those
who have given their sight or who
are disabled in one of the many ways
If there is anybody who thinks he
hasn't had an opportunity to help
his country as he wanted to, who
feels that he didn't "get started, he
can come forward now and prove
his sincerity, by sending this loan
further over than any previous issue.
