My warehouse is empty. I have room to handle your cotton this season, and every facility to do it to the best advantage, I will appreci ate your business and try to please you. D. B. THOMPSON My many years in the warehouse busi ness give me the proper experience for handling cotton to the best advantage. I appreciate the business you have given me in the past, and hope to handle your cotton again this season. Yours to serve, T. R. SMITH pcrienced business men and bankers, however, knew'from the start the ne cessity'of wide publicity'and adver tising and the nec^sity of personal and persistent solicitation. The fact that there were no- funds available for the purpose has made no difference. The tiling had to be done, and was done, and the three liberty loans have been a success; made so by the enthusiastic, whole hearted, unselfish patriotism of the men who knew how to do it. It is to these that the credit of suc cessfully floating the Liberty Loans belongs. Within a short time we will be _ ■ i asked to subscribe to a fourth war Kntered at the post office in Vien-1 | oan bigger thany any of the others. The Vienna News Published Weekly MISS EMILY WOODWARD ■ Managing Editor nr. Ga., as second class mail matt-* According to tho r. jt of Cong March 3rd, 1870. THURSDAY. AUGUST 16, ‘191& Mr. Hardwick has accused Presi dent Wilson of being a ward politi cian but just think what the Presi dent could call Tom if he were mind- to. .^According to Goverment orders newspaper owners will not be allow ed to continue sending out papers after October 1st to parties in arrears with subscription. Our subscribers will kindly take note of this and pay up subscriptions promtply. A really loyal patriotic individual will not permit the existence of un sanitary conditions around his prem ises now. The government appeals fpr the conservation of health as war measure. If you are tolerating filthy hog-pons and other unwhole- i some conditions you are lending aid to tho Kaiser. It is just as necessary that this should be a success as it was in the other cases. But the bonds will not sell themselves. It is going to require the most strenuous persistent coop erative work on the part of the same class of men who made the former loans a success, before these new bil lions can be subscribed. No estimate has ever been made of the value of the work donated by these agents in the past. It would be impossible to make such an estimate. Measured on the basis of compensa tion for work of a similar character, the sum might easily Teach into the millions of dollars. Add to this the loss of other business that might have been handled profitably while so en gaged, and*the sum total would be greatly increased.* The Government can afford to pay a fair and equitable compensation to the men whodevote their trained en ergies to the task of making its war. loans possible. Ability to do these things is the capital, the stock in trade of these men and these insti tutions. Have we reached that des perate stage where it is necessary that the Government "commandeer” the services of these trained experts! This may be potting it strongly, but thef ailure of the Government provide compensation for each serv ices amounts to "commandeering” for they are going to see it through anyway; they are going to see that every war loan is a success, pay or no pay; their patriotism will see to this. —Prom American Industries for July “THE HONOR SYSTEM” COMING “The Honor System,” a powerful human interest drama, will be pre sented by William Fox in this city next month. The staging of this spec tacular play in Arizona and Califor nia caused a sensation in the far west The resources of the Stte and the wealth of one of thel argest film cor porations were taxed to produce work the direct appeal of which is to the hearts of thep eople. This 'is be cause “The Honor System” de^Is with the here and now of one' of the world’s most perplexing questions. It shows the individual in a tragic bat tle against thef orees of society. Since “Way Down East” and “The Old Homestead” on the legitimate stage nothing else has been produced of such vital dramatic fiber. The big ten-roeler will be shown Kere with all tho effects and the spe cial music of the New York produc tion. This picture will be shown at the DcSoto next Friday, Aug. 23. August 1914 August 1918 Begins Mon day 19th Will Close Saturday 24 Seventh Anniversary Sale It is our custom to give a special reduction every >ear during our anniversary month, this year we’ll give our usual reduction despite the prevailing high prices of goods on account of the war. The reason for the sale is to show our old customers our appreciation of their trade and to make new friends by the special reductions we offer. Glass spoons with tubular handles have been invented for use in place of straws in cold drinks. Everybody is glad to see the new flag that now tops the flag pole in the center of town. This one, while not so large as the first bought, is appar ently better material and will prove more durable. Thoso who contrib uted to the purchase of the flag have performed a really patriotic service because the very presence of this bright emblem of National Liberty is an inspiration during these troub lous times. IMPORTANCE OF CONSERVATION Unfortunate as it is there are yet some Americans who chafe at the cur tailment of n few luxuries that the fighting in Europe has made essen tial. In this section, the war has not as yet worked any real hardship up on anyone so far as material things are concerned. Our people have hed sufficient food, as good or perhaps better clothing than heretofore and there has been no perceptible diminu tion in tho use of the things that make for pleasure. The only great sacri fice wo have yet had to make is tho giving of our men and that of course has been the supreme sacrifice. And yet os incredible as it may seem they are some few who hnvo given of their families, their own flesh and blood, who are unwilling to give up the ma terial things that only add to their physical comfort and pleasure. Those who have gone ovor and know the great neod there realize fully how vi tally our extravagances over here are going to affect the success over there. This letter from u Georgia boy who is in the fight verifies this: “I nm glad to read that the people at home arc waking up to the signifi cance of this war; but while conser vation of food is all important, they must not think that the housekeeper in the kitchen, with her wheatless and meatless days, can do it all. Every man who is too old or too tied down to fight must think before he uses any articles uselessly whether the article he is about to use can possibly draw on supplies that might be shipped across to help beat the Kaiser. “It must become a war at hom< a war on useless waste of anything, paper, postage facilities, railroad work, gasoline, motor cars, fats, and every w^ste that tends to hindering the adequate supplying of an army of twom illions of America’s best men in the field. Then we will be coming back. And this is not a matter for •the other fellow,’ but fob every one at home to think about and care for. Bring us home again by helping us fight from home.” When these men who are giving their all,make an appeal like thia, it should not pass unheeded. The use less waste should be eliminated.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN The campaign for the Fourth Lib erty Loan will begin September 28 and close October 19. The result of the loan will be watched with keen interest in Europe, not only by our associates in thew ar against the Teu tonic powers but by our enemies. It will be regarded by them as a meas ure of the American people’s support of the war. The Germans know full well the tremendous weight and significance of popular support of thew ar, of tho people at home backing up the Anhy ty and willingness of the people of the United States to make sacrifices compared with the willingness of our soldiers to do their part. There must in the field. As the loan succeeds our, bo and mil be no failure by the peo- enemies will sorrow; as it falls short pie to measure up to the courage and they will rejoice. Every dollar sub scribed will help and encourage the American soldiers and hurt and de press the enemies of America. The loan will be a test of the loyal- devotion of our men in Europe. Many of them have given up their lives; shall we at home withhold our money? shall we spare our dollars while they spare not their lives? I am now receiving: an extensive line - of LIBERTY LOAN LESSONS That the Liberty Loans have been a success is due to the business men of thee ountry; to the banks; the banking houses and to the associa tions of advertising men throughout the land. There has been no Government money available to cover the expen ses of selling campaigns. It hat been thought in Washington that funds for this purpose were unnecessary.
