"GET RICH QUICK
HOT AFTER YOUR
LIBERTY BONDS
Secretary Glass Warns Bond Holders
To Keep Bonds Or Sell Only To
Some Reputable Bank Or
Trust Company

The farmer-or any other American
citizen-who desires to get rich quick
Is offered plenty of opportunity these
days to accumulate stock in every
thing from Oklahoma oil to African
rubber. There never were quite so
many agents going round helping
others TO make their fortunes over
night Their prey is the Liberty bonds
held by almost every loyal citizen in
the country. They do not ask for
money-they will swap anything for
bonds.
Secretary Of the Treasury Carter
Glass has just issued statement
warning the public against the un-
scrupulous persons who offer to trade
worthless stocks for Liberty bonds,
and against those sharks who at
tempt to persuade bondhCsders to part
with their bC.ids at a price far be-
low par. Every business man knows
that with an adjustment of business
conditions, Liberty bonds will be
worth full face value on the open mar
ket, and nobody should sell bond for
less than it's full value except in case
of absolute necessity. Even then, he
should take 1t to reputable bank,
consult a banker in whom he has con
fidence, and take his advice. Usually
it is possible to borrow money on
Liberty bonds at low rate of interest.
The interest coupons will pay a large
part of this. making the loan cost the
bond-owner very little, and he will still
retain ownership in his bonds.
The Treasury Department is taking
every possible step to protect the in
terests of Liberty bond owners and
expects to bring to justice those per
sons who seek to defraud patriotic
Americans of their investments.

BEST WAR PICTURE
EVER MADE is FREE
FOR VICTORY LOAN
Five Reel Film Made BY United States
Signal Corps To Be Shown All
Over The United States

New Glory for Old" is the title Of
scented all over the United States soon
by the United States Treasury De-
partment for impressing upon the
American people the need of the Vic
tory Liberty loan for which the cam
paign is to start this spring. 1t will
be presented in public auditoriums,
without charge to the public, and the
schedules will permit almost every
city and important town to have a
showing of the big film.
This is to be, without doubt, the
greatest war picture ever presented
taken in France. 1t was made for the
pictorial history of the world by the
United States Signal Corps, and one
Of the operators was killed while
cranking his camera. 1t is a story
of the American soldier from the
day of his enlistment to the day he
reaches Berlin. 1t shows him in the
training camp; in the act of embarka-
ton: enjoying his soldier amusements
on shipboard; his landing at Brest;
his training in France, and about 1900
feet of the hottest fighting known in
the great conflict.
The prints are to be distributed
through the district headquarters of
the Sixth Federal Reserve District at
Atlanta. 1t is expected there will be
an immediate demand for the films,
and that big patriotic meetings will be
arranged for the showing of the pic
ture in every town. Eloquent speak
ers will be engaged to tell the story
Of the Victory Loan and the necessity
of finishing the job and it is expect
ed that New Glory for Old' will be
an important factor in selling the issue
of Victory bonds.

Busy At Work On Plans
For Great Victory Loan

Atlanta, Feb. HEADQUARTERS OF
the Sixth Federal Reserve District in
Atlanta is almost as busy as though
the campaign were actually under way
A vast amount of preliminary work
has been made necessary by the. indi-
yidual quota systemic be tried out for
the first time in the South. The fair
and square" idea is to be carried out
in this, every citizen being assigned
quota based on his tax returns and
income. If he regards the quota as
unjust, he has the right of appeal to an
adjustment committee.
The fifth, or Victory Loan will be
necessary if the United States is to
finish the job 1t started. The war did
not end with the signing of the armis-
tice. It will not end even with the
conclusion of the peace terms. The
war will not be over until the bills
are paid, and it is up to the people OF
the United States to pay them-to
feed the soldiers and bring them
home.
The United States had barely begun
to fight when the armistice was sign
ed. but it had prepared for war on an
| enormous scale. This was probably
one of the reasons Germany quit SO
suddenly-she saw that Uncle Sam
was going to war on big scale. And
now the bills must be paid, either by
| taxation or investment. A Victory
| bond will be Of much more value to all
sf ,as than a stack Of tax receipts

What's the matter with the dis
trict attorney Officer Does nobody
want it? So far nobody has an
nounced for it. Neither IN the up
per end nor this end. Neither in
the Herald nor in any other paper in
the district. We had one party to
tell US that he expected to announce
for it the first of the year. He has
not done so. We have heard ru-
NOR that an effort might be made to
put a man in the field from this end
of the district. But nobody has got
into the open, though the season for
the campaign is rapidly advancing.
Maybe there will be developments
now in short. Its an important
Office and needs good man on the
job if lawlessness is TO be kept down,
about which we may say more later.

NINTH INNING Rally
WONFOR WATSONITES
Two Interesting Games in
the Ciy League Satur-
day Afternoon.

After two men had been retired in
the last half of the ninth inning and
with one man on base, the Watson
Building repeated their rally of few
weeks ago with the Mining Machin-
cry and scored the run necessary to
tie the score. In the tenth inning
Schimmel, the first man at bat, hit for
two bases and scored on Stmon's sin
gle, bringing in the winning run. The
flal score was Watson Building g.,
Mining Machinery 5.
Had the Mining Machinery been
able to retire Zeke Davis, the third
man up in that inning, the game
would have been over and the Watson
Building would have been "out OF
luck" for the City league champion
ship. Instead Davis singled and scor-
ed on Chenoweth's long hit to right
field. Miller, playing that field, made
a sensational run for the ball, but just
managed to touch it with one hand,
the ball falling to the ground and Da-
Wis scoring.
Lemley pitched a good game, allow
ing seven hits as against total Oh
fourteen made off Dawson. Simon and
schimmel were the leading sluggers
for the Skyscrapers and Miller made
the most hits for the Machinists.
The opening game of the afternoon
was between the Monongah Glass and
the West Virginian. This cong st was
a good one, resulting in rs victory
for the Glassmakers. Burns pitched
for Monongah Glass and did his usual
good work on the mound, allowing
but five hits. Barnes started to pitch
for West virginian, but was Wild and
with a few errors four runs crossed
the plate in the second inning. Teter
then went on the mound for the Print
ers and held the Glassworkers to t'Do
hits.

CONSUMER TEAM
Shuts OUT M'CONEEY
Nine Hundred Fans Saw
Game at Blackstone
Park Yesterday.

Hammering the ball into every
corner of the lot and clustering
clouts when necessary. the consum-
er Fuel company baseball team yes
terday afternoon defeated the fast
McConkey nine of Wheeling, by q
100 score at Blackkshere Park.
Nine hundred fans were out to see
the game, expecting al very close
contest judging from the thirteen in
ming the game which the two teams
played at Blackstone park about one
month ago. This season McConkeys
have played the Consumer team
three games. The first game was a
victory for the Consumer team, the
second was a tie game and the third
game was played yesterday, giving
the Marion county team two victor
les in three games played.
The Wheeling team !s one Of the
best drawing cards at Blackstone
Park and If possible another game
will be played between the McCon-
key and Consumer teams before the
baseball season ends.
The game at Blackstone park yes
terday was featured by the hard
hitting of the Consumer team. Four
teen clean blows were made off
Burkhart and Crock, the two visit
ing twirlers. "Pop" Shrivar pitched
for the Consumer nine and held the
Wheelingites to six hits. Shriver
was in good form and at no time dur
ing the game was he in danger.
Gribben played left field for the
Consumer team and male four hits
in four trips to the plate. Venesky
and Morse each made three hits.
Gardner and Perley were the lead
ing McConkey hitters.
Two unusually good fielding plays
were made The first came in the
third inning, when Lewis went to
the left field fence and caught !ly
off Gardner's bat. There was one
man on base and had the ball gotten
away sure score would have result
ed. The other play came in the
sixth inning, when Marshall made
one of the best catches that has ever
been made on the Blackstone park
diamond. Houtz hit a line drive 10
right field and with he crack Of the
hat, Marshall was off, People in the
sraudstand had no idea that the ball
would be caught, hut by sensation
