Unique in the annals of war loan
history IS the case of A. F. Moon, Jr,
cashier of the Gainesville Bank, Car
tersvilla, Va. He has already secured
subscriptions for the entire allotment
of lis bank This is the first bank
in the Fifth Federal Reserve District
which has made such a record, so far
as il known.
81 am working night and day for my
town, county, state and nation" de-
clared Mr.. Moon. "At the close of the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign,
thought it would be a good idea to
keep the ball rolling, so instead of
stopping went straight ahead and
continued getting subscriptions for the
FIFTH Loan. Our bank sold $4,000 Of
the Fourth issue, which is more than
double its quota. and l was so much
encouraged over that record that de-
cided to start right to work on the
Fifth Loan.
"JTD to date. we have subscriptions
for more than $4,000 Victory Bonds.
but we are not through yet and ex-
pect to go right ahead and try to
double this if possible. The argument
I used was simply that the Victory
Loan was needed by my Government
and that it was UP to every man to
finish the job by paying the bills for
victory which would have been
cheap at double the price
Mr.. Moon said he didn't know much
about the terms, interest rates OF
other details Of the Victory Loan and
didn't care, going on the assumption
that the loan would be good PROPOSE

are crowded together, the more impor.
tant are the measures for excluding

opment Of the causes Of disease.
When disease appears among poul-
try the fowls should be removed from
the poultry yard and good coating
of freshly slaked lime should be ap-
piled to the entire surface of the
ground, according to the bulletin. At
ter few days it should be plowed and
then cultivated three or four times at
intervals Of a week and finally sowed
with oats, rye or other grain. 1t Is
best to leave the ground unoccupied by
fowls until the winter has passed. AZ
ter the fowls have been returned the
premises must be frequently cleaned
and occasionally disinfected.
The drinking fountains and feed
troughs must be washed every week
with boiling water or other disinfect-
ant, and if any lice or mites are found
on the birds or in the house the roosts
and adjoining parts Of the walls should
be painted with mixture of kerosene,
one quart, and crude carbolic acid or
crude creosol, one teacupful. The
house may be whitewashed with fresh

PAINT AND ILLITERACY.
Curious Fact Comes to Light That Lo-
caIities Least Using Books Avoid
Paint Also

Washington, D. CA curious fact
has been brought to light by the Edu-
cational Bureau and the Bureau of In
dustrial Research here. 1t Is that in
the states where illiteracy is most
prevalent paint is least used. The
paint referred to Is the common OF
barn variety, Of course, for the back.
woods countries have no need for the
finer pigments or facial adornments
1t is true, though, that in the sections
of alb states where white illiteracy Is
highest painted homes are rare and
painted outbuildings and barns ART
practically unknown. Probably the
illiterates do not use paint on theiI
buildings because they do not under
stand its value as q preservative.

TRY
TO OBTAIN BONDS

Re- rts are widespread that some
owners of Liberty Bonds have sold
them at prices lower than their mar
ket value. Investigations show that
shrewd SPECTATORS are active in try
ing to induce people to part with their
government securities. Many of them
are offering to take Liberty bonds in
exchange for other so-called "securi-
ty" which promises a higher rate of
interest than Liberty Bonds.
1t is pointed out by treasury Off
Gals that Liberty Bonds are worth
every dollar paid for them. One evi-
dence of their value is the eagerness
of the speculator to get possession OF
them. He knows what they are
worth. The Liberty Bond owner does
not know the value of the stock" or
bond" he is offered in exchange for
his government security.
Liberty bonds have back of them
the entire resources OF the United
States which makes them worth their
f;..e value. The person who ex-
G .anges them for some other kind OF
paper risks losing the money invest
ed in his bond as we'll as the inter
est
other people are selling their bonds
because they feel that "the wars
over" and they are no longer obligat-
ed to hold then. Although fighting
has ceased, the war will not be over
until the peace treaty is signed and
onr soldiers are home. A Liberty
Rord is a certificate Of service and
the person who sells it at sacrifice,
e.cept in cases Of extreme necessity,
is falling to carry on He IS re-
fiecting on his own patriotism and
surrendering an Investment that
never will fail to pay returns.
1t is recognized that there are
times when investors are compelled
to seek relief from financial distress.
OFTEN rheir first impulse is to dis
nose of their Liberty Bonds. In sucn
cases the bank is the place to GO
Banks will lend money on Liberty
Bonds. The borrower is helped out
OF his difficulty and does not lose
nossession of his government bond.
