 The question of the Scheldt, the Fdanelles and certain other water vs, it is expected, will be decided by Commission, though it probably will broach with caution the subject of Ials in which America is particular Interested because of the panama |al

Y.W.C. A. ASKS $4,000 FROM
each COUNTY IN georgia

During the war the Young
Wonen's Christian Association
devoted practically all Of its time
and money to war work. me
funds raised by or for the Y. w.
C. A. were to be used for war
work exclusively, and strict OBJ
servance Of the conditions under
which that money was given puts
the Association in a position
where it is absolutely necessary
that it have funds with which
to continue It's regular work.
In order to relieve that stu
alton, and make possible a con-
tinuance Of the extension work
that has done so much to in
crease the usefulness Of the AS
ISOLATION in the past, the Nation
al Board has decided to ask the
people of the entire country to
contribute. The amount asked
for In each county of Georgia is
email. Just $4,000. The quota
for the entire state is $4,000,
but Atlanta, Savannah, Macon,
Augusta, and Columbus, the cit
les where there are local associa-
tons, viii take care Of all ex-
cept the $4,000 that each coun-
ty is asked TO give.
The campaign to raise this
small sum win be put on from
February 9Th to 18th. The same
machinery that did such effective
work during the United War
Work drive will be used, with but
few exceptions. Mrs. B. Fl.
Goodhart, of Atlanta, will be
state chairman; Miss Myrtice
McCaskill will be state director,
while Miss Leone Westbrook will
act as advisory director. The
same county and district chair
men will be used wherever pos
Sible.
1t is not going to be necessary
to put on any elaborate campaign
to raise this small amount, al

People Urged Not to sail Government
SeeurltIeo at Sacrifice or Exchange
Them For Questionable Paper.

Atlanta,--Reports are reaching the
Federal Reserve Rank OF Atlanta that
many owners of Liberty Bonds are
selling them at prices lower than
their market value.
Investigations show that shrewd
spectators are active in trying to
induce people to part with their Gov
eminent securities. Many Of them
are Offering to take Liberty Bonds in
exchange for some other so-called
Security which promises q higher
rate OF interest than Liberty Bonds
It is pointed out by Treasury Of
lcials that Liberty Bonds are worth
every dollar paid Tor them. One evi.
dence OF their value 10 the eagerness
OF the Spectator to get possession Of
them. He knows what they are worth,
Their Liberty Bond owner does not
know the value OF the stock or
"hond" he is offered in exchange for
his Government security.
Liberty Bonds have hack of them
the entire resources OF the United
States which makes them worth their
face value. The person who exchang.
es them for some other Kind of paper
risks losing the money invested 10
his bond as we'll as the interest
Other people are selling their bonds
because they feel that the wars
over" and they are no longer oblig.
ated to hold them Although fighting
has ceased, the war win not be over
until the peace treaty is signed and
our soldiers are home. A Liberty Bond
is a certificate Of service and the per
son who sells them az sacrifice is
deserving the cause He is rejecting
on his own Judgment and patriotism
and surrendering an investment that
never will foil to pey returns.
II is recognized that there are times
when investors are compelled to seek
rsiisf from financial distress. Often
their first impulse is to dispose OF their
Liberty Bonds
In such cases the bank is the place
TO go. Banks viii lend money on lib
erty Bonds. The borrower is helped
out Of his difficulty and does not lose
possession of his Government bond.

though it is vital to the contin-
ued development of the Associa-
ton that the amount be raised.
It is hoped that no county will
fail to subscribe at least $4,000,
and that many of them will dou-
bic that amount, as the total ask
ed for in Georgia is just large
enough to take care of the work
that is now in sight, and does not
leave very much for new work

amount large enough to permit
