BOND DRIVE
FAILURE HERE
Little Over One-half of Quota
Subscribed in This District,
H. c. Jones Reports
INDIFFERENCE BLAMED

Total sales of the Fifth War
Loan Drive here amounted to S94,-
543, little more than one-half the
quota for this district, according to
an announcement made yesterday
by Harvey C. Jones, chairman of
the drive. This is the first war
loan drive during which the COM
munity has not oversubscribed the
quota assigned. Asked for the
reasons why this drive was not a
success, Mr.. Jones replied that of
the many reasons for the campaign
tagging, the fact that great many
persons thought the war was over
was the prime factor in keeping
them from buying more war bonds.
There seemed to be general in
difference on the part of many
persons, and as a result the bond
buying drive was a failure" said
the chairman.

No relief for at least another two
days was the prediction of weather
officials last night as the heat wave
continued through its seventh day.
Yesterdays maximum reading was
81 degrees. Victory gardens in the
Smyrna area are becoming wilted
as result of the long period of 90
degree temperatures and the lack
of moisture. Many crops have al
most been brought to a standstill
by the weather and unless rain
comes soon serious damage will re-
suit, farmers said. Yesterdays
