Be sure to 60 to your voting
precinct on Wednesday, May
14sh, and vote for the four mills
special school tax if you want to
help make the public schools OF
the Parish better.
Several other parishes have
lust voted three, four and five
mills parish wide special school
taxes to take the place of the
many district taxes and other
parishes have already ordered
the election for this purpose.
The four mills special school
tax proposition which has been
recommended by our most worthy
and excellent State Superinten-
dent of Education and has been
submitted by the Parish School
Board to the people of the Parish,
is a proposition which has
many arguments in favor OF II
for each argument which could
possibly be made against it.
/. All Of the special distric
school taxes with the exception O.
the Angie and Franklinton bono
taxes will be voted out when tn
four mills tax has been carried.
2. The rate of special schoo
maintenance tax will be the SAM

holding several district tax cleo
tions each year will be dispense'
with.
4. The four mills special ta'
with the increased school fund
provided for by the Constitution

money for schools than we ar
now receiving.
5. The rate of special schoo
tax will be less in PRACTICAL,

VICTORY CAMPAIGN
STARTS With BOOM:

Interest At 424qo Per Cent And Four.
Year Term Pleases Tho
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 90 over the top with 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 great deal to
inspire subscriptions from these who
invested from a business standpoint as
we'll as from patriotic motives. The
notes pay s/43o, 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 a high figure, finan-
ciers say, and there will be no dan
ger of their dropping to discount.
Secretary Carter Glass has announc.
ed positively that this will be the last
of the Liberty loans. It will pay the
bill for defeating the Hun and bring
the boys back home.
The campaign all over the district
was opened with parades and great
celebrations. In Atlanta the central
part of the city was more elaborately
decorated than ever before in history
In several of the larger cities the lily

battles in the air high above the
