RAISED MUCH MONEY
BIG SUMS REPORTED AT STATE
CONVENTION FOR VARIOUS
DENOMINATION CAUSES.

Rev. T. M. Galloway, who attended
the state Baptist convention at Ma
con, reports that it was one of the
/ largest in point of attendance and
one of the best in the history of that
organization. The reports of the va
rious boards and committees showed
that great strides were made during
the past year.
The report of the home missions
was encouraging. This work is being
enlarged, the report showed, with ST.
100000 to be expended this year on
mission program. Through the eff
forts of the home missions 10000
persons joined Baptist churches.
The mission board has also made
considerable progress the past year,
with a phenomenal growth the past
four years.
The amount dedicated to missions
by Georgia Baptists through the
board amounts to 100000 increase
for the past four years, the report
shows. The amount dedicated to mis-
sions, education and benevolence is
$744, 120.76. The appropriation for
state missions this year amounts to

new church buildings have been start
ed during the year and six new build
ings have been completed, forty-two
B. Y. P. Unions formed and sixty
two Woman's Missionary Societies
and auxiliaries organized, including
3,9O2 additions to the church.

which is an increase of $4,000 over
the previous year
The report of the Orphans Home
showed that the institution has spent
$19,O29.68 on improvements the last
year, but the institution is still crowd
ed for room. Excellent work has been
done by the management, the con-
vention was told.
Under a plan suggested in the re-
port of the hospital board, which was
adopted, the convention will build
five hospitals in five of the largest
cities of the state. The hospital pro-
gram would cover period of twenty
five years, which would be referred
to the hospital board trustees. Under
this plan one hospital would be erect
ed and as soon as it could be gotten
out of debt another would be erected
until the five were completed.
Hospital Success Now.
The report showed that the total
income of the Georgia Baptist Hos
pital amounted to S172,489.72 for
the year, with disbursements of $685.

Nationwide Approval Of
Secretary Lanes SOL
der Settlement
Plan
Public Bodies and Commercial
Organization Endorse and
Urge Farm Idea for
War Veterans

The forthcoming May issue of the
Reclamation Record, published by
the U. S. Reclamation Service of the
Department Of the Interior, contains
an article showing the nationwide
interest IN and approval of Secre-
atary Lanes plan to provide work and
homes in soldier settlements on re-
claimed land for our returned SOL
diers, sailors and marines. 1t is
stated that already over $4,000 inquir-
les regarding the plan have been re-
ceived from these men and that ad-
ditional inquiries are coming in at
the rate of five or six hundred day.
Many of the tate legislatures have
enacted soldiers settlement legisla-
tion in anticipation of similar action
by Congress at the coming special
session. In many of the States the
Governors have appointed special
committees to work in cooperation
with the Federal Government in con-
nection with soldier-settlement plans
The American Federation of La
Dor has endorsed the plan in its re-
construction program, and the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion approved the plan by formal
resolution at their recent convention.
Scores of chambers of commerce,
boards of trade and similar organi-
cations, as we'll as hundreds of news
papers have placed the stamp of their
approval on the plan.
The last page of the Record is in
the form of a poster, with the cap
ton Attention. Soldiers! Sailors! !!
Marinesw which describes the plan
and requests every man interested to
write to the Department stating his
name, age, occupation before enlist
ment, whether he has had previous
experience in farming, what kind of
farming he would like to take up and
where he would be willing to work,
whether in his own or in some other
state.
Individuals receiving this copy of
the Record are requested to tear off
the back page poster and post in
4 conspicuous place. Secretary Lane
hopes, through this and other means,
to get in touch with every returned
soldier, sailor or marine who is in
terested in his plan to provide work
and farm homes for them.

Taking Profit
Out OF Wa

One of the best ways in the world
to prevent war in the future is by
taking profit out of the war, wheth-
er it be gain for nation, for reign
ing house, or for citizens of the war
ring nations. In the present war
government price regulation, excess
profits tax, and such other assisting
Legislation, was an effort in this di-
rection, but of the thirty thousand
reputed millionaires in America to-
day it is said that twenty-three
thousand were made by the war.
Naturally, those people who make
vast sums of money through war en-
terprise are infested in keeping the
goose on the nest. Only the common
people, whose children are killed to
furnish the food for the bird that
lays the golden fruit ARE united and
energetic in preventing profitable
war. Human nature is constructed,
however, that these progressive
movements not only have to fight
the man who made millions through
war today but also those who are op-
timistic in hoping to make similar
sums in another war yet to be waged.

has brought suit against the govern
ment for over two million of dollars,

Army Trucks for \
Federal-Aid Roads

An extra contribution of materials
running into the millions Of dollars
will be made by the Federal Govern
ment to road building in the States
through the terms of recent
amendment to the Federal aid road
act empowering the Secretary of
War in his discretion to transfer
military equipment not needed by
the Army to the Department of Ag-
riculture~ for use in highway con-
struction. The Judge Advocate
Generals Office of the War Depart
ment has decided that the material
so transferred can not be charged
for The War Department has in
formed the Bureau of Public Roads
that it has a large number of sur
plus motor trucks available for this
purpose, and State highway Depart
ments now are being asked by the
bureau what quantities they can put
to use. The Bureau of Public Roads
officials believe there will be suf-
ficient to meet all demands from the
States. The trucks and other mill
tary equipment transferred by the
War Department must be used only
on Federal aid projects and can not
be sold by the State after they are
donated from the Federal Govern
ment.

New Price Level
Established

After an extended study of prices,
it is the opinion of the Division Of
Public Works and Construction De-
velopment that new price level has
been established by the economic
conditions attending the world war;
and that economic forces appear 90
have already acted to stabilize prices
at level below which they are not
likely to fall by any appreciabIe
amount in the near future. 1t is be-
lieved that the growing confidence
in the future of business in this coun-
try, evidence of which is seen on all
sides, is well justified by the facts
that have been learned through the
study of the price situation. Evil
dence of the stability of business to-
day is the fact that during five
months period of stagnation, the
number of business failures has been
unusually low.
AT the present time there is less
concern over high prices than there
is with regard to the stability of
prices. 1t appears that the wisest
business men are those who decide
now to go ahead with the construc-
tion of buildings and the production
of goods; the need for both forms
of activity are more imperative now
than ever before.

Government Profit
Sharing Plan

The Government has started a
profit-sharing plan, open to every
citizen Of the United States. You
can become = shareholder in the
business of government, which five
years from now will declare an l8 to
Il per cent dividend. In other words
your money can earn one fifth OF it
self in five years. This is possible
under the Thrift campaign for the
sale of Thrift Stamps and War Saw
ings Stamps.
More than a billion dollars was
invested in War Savings and Thrift
War Savings Stamps were sold to the
people. Each one Of these War Saw
ings Stamps is growing in value to
its owner at the rate of one cent for
every month it is held, which means
that every month the value of the
country's holdings in War Savings
Stamps increases by about 2,397,l29.
If these stamps are all held until
they mature, January 1923 they will
be worth more than 81 ,2O0,0OO,0O0 or
clear profit of S200,0O0,OO0 and this
profit is made in the governments
business which by buying goods and
services makes business and employ
ment for everyone.
That is, the United States govern
fnent has taken the billioo dollars
loaned by its people, and is making
for them a profit Of 20 per cent,
which it will return to the people
with their original investment. It
pays to be shareholder in the
United States.
