VICTORY CAMPAIGN
STARTS With BOOM:
new LOAN POPULAR
Interest At 4243o Per Cent And Four
Year Term Pleases The
Public

Atlanta, Ga.--The Victory Loan
campaign has got off to flying start,
to judge from the kilograms pouring in
upon the district headquarters within
the first few days of the big drive. That
the Sixth Federal Reserve District
will go over the top with a bang is
indicated by the early results, though
it will require the cooperation of every
citizen to make success assured.
The announcement of the terms of
the Victory Loan did a great deal to
inspire subscriptions from those who
invested from business standpoint as
well as from patriotic motives. The
notes pay 3/4%o, the highest interest
of any of the Liberty Loan series, and
are payable by the government in four
years after date. This high interest
and the short term makes them Ger
tain to remain at high figure, finan-
ciers say, and there will be no dan
ger of their dropping to a discount.
Secretary Carter Glass has announc-
ed positively that this will be the last
of the Liberty loans. 1t will pay the
bill for defeating the Hun and bring
the boys back hcme.
The campaign all over the district
was opened with parades and great
celebrations. In Atlanta the central
part of the city was more deliberately
decorated than ever before in history.
In several of the larger cities the ely
ing circus" of airplanes fought mimic
battles in the air high above the
streets Secretary Glass is to deliver
an address in Atlanta on May /.
Chairmen all over the Southern
states are reporting that the Victory
loan is easier to put over than they
had expected.
"Our people have not lost their pa
triotism," they report. There was
an apparent apathy. We had begun
to believe the public thought the war
was all over and there was no use In
subscribing to more bonds. But we
were wrong. The American-city man,
town man, farmer,-is willing to pay
his share of the war bill, and he is
proving it."
That is the patriotic side of the mat
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1919-04-24

pected to have every citizen carry his
own share Of the quota, instead of let.
ting his more patriotic neighbors car
ry more than their share. Local COM
mittees will hear appeals from those
who consider their quota too high.
In most instances, the same loyal
workers who carried the former loans
to success will form the committees on
the Victory Loan. At recent state
conferences they expressed confidence
in being able tc put the job through,
and their enthusiasm is certain to car
ry them to success.
Treasury department officials who
have sounded out the sentiment of the
whole country are confident that the
people are willing to lend to their
country for the purpose of finishing
the job and paying the war bills. They
understand the gigantic work that is
still going on, and the necessity Of
bringing the boys back home; Of CIV
ing the wounded men that education
and instruction which will enable them
to get fresh start. The Government
has still big task before it, and the
expenditures are still large. But they
are far smaller in .money--to say moth
ing of more precious lives-than If the
war had. continued. So the term,
"Thanka giving Loan" may we'll be ap-
piled to this, the last OF the govern
ment's invitations to its peoD!e to lerd
their money to their nation

term bonds or notes appear to STRIFE
the public eye favorably. The average
man is more willing to tie up his
money for four years than for a long

makes the securities more easily ne
gotiable at full price than if a period
Of twenty years were involved.
The quota for the district is S144,-
o00, 80. Several counties reported
arly on the first day that their quotas
had been reached, and asked for Vic
tory Loan honor flags, which are to
be awarded to every community over
subscribing it's share. The fair and

ed by many counties helped to carry

is practically new and has been used
for excursions on the Mississippi. She
is all steel and has the best dancing
pavilion of any steamer afloat, there
being no posts Of any kind on the
whole Of the floor.
The Verne Swain will make her
maiden trip out Of the Maysville har-
Dor on the evening Of Friday, May %,

''A'' Ward WIss OFF Of GERMS
Fell Under Car Wheels In Adams
County and Now Asks For
Big Damages.

William B. Freeman, through his at
torney, A. G. Turnipseed and ]. Thom-
as Hoffman, Saturday filed in the
Adams county common pleas court at
West Union, Ohio, a $4,000 damage
suit against the N. G. w. Railroad for
personal injuries.
In his petition, plaintiff says that
on October IS, 1918, he was a regular
passenger on the road from Cincin-
natl to Mineral Springs. He recites
that at that time severe epidemic of
Spanish influenza was raging through
out that section and he alleges that in
order to ward off any germs which
might be floating about where crowds
of people were congregated, he had
drank alcoholic liquor and being seat
ed in a warm car he became intoxi-
Gated to such an extent that he was
unable to take care of himself.
He charges that the employees on
the train were aware of his helpless
condition when the train reached Min
eral Spring; that they helped him
from his seat to the platform of the
car and down the car steps to the sta
tion platform, where they left him
standing and holding to the handle of
the car. That when the train started
he was drawn under the wheels and
his left leg crushed so that amputation
was necessary, and that his right lee
and foot were crushed to such an ex-
tent that they are useless.
The plaintiff, in his petition, charges
that the defendant company was in
the fault and negligent in failing to
put him in a place of safety before
starting the train.
