in the Liberty Loan to the extent of
his means, is as much a slacker .as

ticle of merchandize, will find a ready ,
market at a good cash price. , ^
This is the doctrine which Atlanta
banks, notably the Fourth Nations)
of Atlanta, are preaching to their
customers and to the business com
munity generally, and already the
uncertainty and gloom which follow

into the war are being dispelled, al
ready a more optomiatic feeling pre

reporting that business has swung
back almost to the normal level.
