MADISON GETS QUOTA
FOR VICTORY LOAN
Neck District VIII Complete Quota
Within a Day or so, as Only 3d.
The Top.

County Headquarters of the Vic
tory Loan received news this morn
ing that Madison, District No. Is, OF
the county, had subscribed it's full
quota to the Fifth, or Victory, War
Loan, which entitled it to one OF the
war helmets which are to be given
to the first eleven districts getting
their allotments subscribed
The Neck district may have reach
ed it's quota today, as it only lacked
$4,000 of having the full amount at
the close of the meeting at Beck
with Hall last night, and there was
not the slightest doubt upon the part
of the people of the district that the
amount will be raised.

REPLY Sent T0.ONE who
DIDN'T FEEL ABLEITO HELP
Man Who Subscribed to Previous
Loans Wrote That He Did Not
One.

The following letter was written
by the First National Bank of Rich
mond, Va, to a gentleman who wrote
! that he did not feel able to subscribe
to the Victory Loan:
MY dear Mr.. ---: l have
your favor Of the 22nd indicating
that you feel that under present con-
ditions the amount of bonds you are
carrying is all that you should obli-
gate yourself for. l feel quite sure
that, upon reflection, you will some
what change your views.
Our Government, which means
| you and me, authorized our Presi-
dent, Senators and Representatives
| to pledge all the resources of this
country, in men and money. to a sue
cessful termination of the war. 1t
was brought to a close on November
IL, 1918, possibly six to twelve mon
tbs prior to our expectations, there
by saving possibly hundreds of thou
sands of lives Of our American boys
and billions of dollars. 1t was the
preparation made by this country
that doubtless disheartened the Hun
and caused him to throw up his
hands from six to twelve months ear
lier than he expected. The debt in
CURED must be paid and the honesty
and integrity of our Nation and our
citizenship is at stake. The loan is
undoubtedly going way over, taking
the country as a. whole, but will we
be satisfied for Virginia and the
Carolinas to be near the bottom OF
the list in patriotism and integrity?
We have received the benefits and
we must pay our just proportion OF
the debt In fact, 1 go further and
say that( if necessary, we must pay
more than our proportion. Our sec
ton was never in such prosperous
condition. We frequently hear OF
the amount of taxes to be paid, etc.
The more taxes We pay the more
prosperous have we been.
This is not cash transaction,
but ninety per cent. of it is credit
transaction, and with credit and earn
ing ability ahead of us, how can we
| hesitate to subscribe literally?
THE point is raised frequently
that our Government has been extrav
agant, wasteful, etc. For the sake OF
argument, let us admit this, but re-
member that hurried job, in order
to save lives and humanity, was
necessary. Could any of us build a
banking house or mill in hurry,
| in one-fourth of the time usually al
lotted, without making numerous
| mistakes? l favor reforming our
| Governm ent methods as speedily as
practicable, but believe that before
we undertake reformation We should
pay our just debts and go in with
| clean hands and honest hearts.
81 know you will not understand
| the tone of this letter, as you and l
and our associates are deeply inter-
ested- in the honesty and integrity of
our citizenship.
| This bank will be pleased to car
Try you. as per enclosed circular. Tor
{ fact, we are DESTROYS of SO doing, and
we are telling our customers that the
more Victory Bonds they buy thru
| us the greater will be their credit
commercially. Sincerely yours,
"JNO. M. MILLER, JR."

Ministers Asked to Observe
Victory Sunday May 4

listers, and other church eladers, are
asked to observe Sunday, May 4, as
Victory Liberty Loan Sunday and
bring to the attention of their con-
gregations not only the urgency of
the Victory Loan but its sacred OPP
portunity.
1t has been the observation of
those prominent in former Liberty
Loan campaigns that the churches
have had enormous influence in fur
thering subscriptions And there is
every reason why this should be so.
Lending to ones country is some
thing more than a business invest
ment. 1t is a patriotic obligation,
and surely patriotism-a deep regard
for ones homeland-is a form of re-
iigion.
The Victory Loan is also being
called Thanksgiving Loan" with
out doubt a fitting designation.
Think Of the boys who are
coming back home alive and well,
with the enemy vanquished, the bat
ties won. Think of peaceful Ameri-
ca, its people prosperous, it's chill
dren happy and well nourished, its
lands srfe from the invasion of the
foe; ard compare our situation with
that II starving Russia in anarchy,
witI Germany torn by Red revolu-
ton, -Mctorious France still
bleeding from the scars Of horrible
war.
Think of the heavy taxation that
must for years burden the people OF
Europe, victors and yanquished alike.
And then compare our condition
here with our government asking
only that we lend what we can, with
gilt-edge security and liberal inter-
~>st. Certainly we may call this
Thanksgiving Loan" and prove our
thankfulness by liberal investments.
None can afford to cheat himself of
his share in this loan-the last OF
the Liberty series-and the keystone
in the arch of victory.
