The Friendly Water Trip.

It's queer world. Sunday we
spent in a friends boat, making the
trip to W2ilaceburg, Ont Along
that stretch Of blue water we passed
every sort OF people in every sort Of
boats and in every instance we
waved a hand In greeting to then. and
they waved to us. IT was no trick at
al to get a warm and genial sign OF
friendship from passersby. The PEG
pie on land saluted us. It seemed as
though we We're continually being well
coined as we arrived in sight and
wished good luck as we departed.
Yet on land we could have passed
by the same people time after time
and not one of them would have
turned to look or wave hand.
Why can't people be as frieBdly to
land travellers as they are to those
who travel by water? It's a queer
world. -Cleveland Leader.

the VICTORY LOAN
MUST Be FLOATED-..
WE'LL Finish The JOB
Fathers And Mothers Of Boys Who
Risked All Will See That The.
Bills Are Paid

The Victory Loan, fifth and last Of
the national Liberty Loans. will be
put over in the campaign beginning
April q and continuing three weeks,
as enthusiastically and completely as
were the preceding loans. That is GER
tain, as indicated by the responses
from the loyal workers who are ready
to give their services to their country
until the job is finished and the bills
all paid.
Whatever spirit of 'let down" that
may have followed the signing OF the
armistice is rapidly disappearing, and
the whole country is awakening to the
realization that the war is not over and
will not be over until the last of the
American soldiers is safe at home
again and every dollar of the gigantic
war bin paid. The fathers and moth
lers of the boys who went overseas or
to camp, who risked their lives for
their country-and many of them gave
life or limb-will not quit until the
Job is finished, any more than the sol.
diers quit over there.
The Victory Loan campaign will
soon be on. The government has de-
cided upon & FIVE billion dollar issue OF
short term securities. TO be repaid
within five years, and bearing attrac-
tive interest rates. Secretary Glass
believes this form of security will CON-
mand a better market price after the
campaign than would bonds issued for
a longer term of years.
Every man in the country will be
asked soon to subscribe to the Victory
Loan. 1t is time to be getting ready
for it.
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1919-03-28

A very large proportion Of the coun-
ties in the Southern States have adopt
ed the individual quota system for the
Victory Loan, and expect thereby to
distribute the investments in securi-
ties over wider ground. By this sys-
TEN, every citizen will be assigned
definite quota which he is expected 10
take. Just as states and counties have
their quotas. This will be based on
his income and property and vii! be
subject to change by local appeals
committee if he feels his quota has
been fixed at 100 high 4 figure.
in previous campaigns, counties
which used the Individual quota plan
went over the top quickly and by q
large margin itnout placing the bur
den Of heavy investments On compar-
atiyely few patriotic citizens. This
plan makes every man feel certain that
lis neighbor also is carrying his share
of the obligation TO his country.

but think it must be q good flower

are shown, as well as fine vegetable

would certainly never lei me come to

SO the turtle talked to himself. Now
the turtles name was Percy, and he
was very valuable turtle. He was
in beautiful garden-not real out
of-doors garden, but tie kind OF sam
pie garden which they have at a flower
show.
They have samples OF everything
which have to do with flowers at
flower show. For instance, there are
little gardens, laid 'out with flower
beds, paths, fountains, just as they
would be 10 really big gardens.
There are simple gardens, and elab'
crate gardens, and samples of trees,
shrubs and all sorts of flowers.
Now Percy was in very fine sam
Ole garden. 1t had paths, and rocks
behind which water ran. And IL had
beautiful beds of flowers and sun

10 himself, that / am becoming bored.

ter and these rocks. Even the sun'
dial is annoying to Inc. / would IKE
To have Il change"
So as Percy thought about change
he decided he would see what he could
do about having one.
'Tll start off at once" he said, and
off he wandered. He went along
part Of the building where there were
not many people. For the flower SHOW
was being held in great building.
He saw a garden OF vegetables ana
said to himself: "This will be a great
change, and that is what | need--a
change of air and scene
OF course he was right in one way
and wrong in another, for the air in
the building where the flower show
was being held was about the same
where the flower gardens were and
where the vegetable gardens were.
But he was right in one way, it Is
true, for he had been living in flower
garden and this was vegetable gar
den.
How do you do, plants?" he said
politely, though not too politely, for

A Tip TO the Country

Through the kindness OF Mr.. :.
j. Powell, County superintendent
OF Education, we had the pleasure
this week OF visiting two Of the
county schools, and il these two are
the average for the county we are
hot behind other counties in the Ell
iiciency Of our county schools.
Monday morning Mr.. Powell
asked us if we would like to take a
trip to the country with himself and
Mr.. w. II. Sorre.ls, County Farm
Demonstration Agent, we couldn't
think of anything at that time that
we thought would afford MS more
pleasure 80 we accepted his invita-
ton.
We first visited the Norton school
Of ahout twenty bright eyed boys
and girls Of neat appearance in
charge Of Miss Clara Belle Edwards.
In the afternoon we visited the
New Chokee school presided over by
Miss Francis Kayler. At both
schools Mr.. Somells made Veny in~
teresting talk on farm work and
particularly on the boys and girls
Corn, Pig and Calf Club work in
the county. And by the way we o
not believe there Is y county III the
state with more attractive and
substantial list Of prizes for club
work than Mr.. Sorrells has provided
for this county, but we may have
occasion to say more about that Ia
ter. But we want to say that if Mr..
Sorrells did nothing more than TO
visit the schools and inspire the
boys and girls in this work, as his
talks do, and visit the club mem
hers during the year to help them
over any difficulty that may arise,
he would be worth to the county
many times his salary; but this is
only small part OF his work.
After Mr.. Sorrells we had the
privilege of talking to the schools
and we hope to have the pleasure OF
accepting Mr.. Powell S invitation to
visit other schools in the county
with him.
Some of the things that impressed
us at these schools were the neat,
clearly appearance of the school
rooms as we'll as of the children,
the close attention the pupils gave
the speakers and their prompt and
frank responses to questions, all OF
which shows that they are being
taught some lessons not found in
books.
One very enjoyable feature of the
day was the magnificent dinner at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. d. j.
Minis; Mr.. Minis is superintendent
of the Hobbs farms. We got there
shortly before twelve o clock, thanks
to the correct calculation of Mr..
Powell as to the distance and the
speed we were travelling. Mr.. Pow
ell didn't say that he made any
such calculation, but after enjoying
such dinner and learning that it
was not the first time that he had
enjoyed the hospitality of this ex-
cellent home we concluded that he
knew all the time what hewas doing
