FROM W. S. S. PUBLICITY
COMMITTEE, ATLANTA, GA.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 5—The war is
over, but the big ball which America
wound up to win the war must be un
wound just as slowly and carefully
and at just as great a cost. The money
which it. took to put our boys in
France and to pay the other vast ex
penses of prosecuting the war, was
not more necessary than the sums it
will take to bring them back again
and transfer the nation to a peace ba
sis.
Therefore it was announced here
today that the campaign for the sale
of War Savings Stamps and the re
demption of War Savings Stamps
pledges will be prosecuted more vig
orously than ever in Georgia. In this
connection, a plan, hard business light
to the situation was pointed out which
the people of Georgia will do well to
note.
“The government right this minute
is deciding the question of whether
to raise the money it needs by taxa
tion or by trying to sell government
securities,’’ said a leader of the War
Savings Stamps organization todayi
“The big moneyed interests of the na
tion have shown that they favor the
latter method by buying up every is
sue of Liberty Bonds. The people
now are answering in the matter of
War Savings Stamps. The man who
buys them says: ‘I don’t want to be
taxed. I want to help pay for this
war by putting my money in govern
ment securities which will pay me
back dollar for dollar at a good rate
of interest.’ The man who fails to
purchase War Savings Stamps is say
ing: ‘I do not like this method. I pre
fer taxation, even if it takes my sav
ings for the next seven years.’ And
as surely as the war is won, it will
take the savings of all the people in
America for the next- seven, years if
they vote for taxation instead of pur
chasing the'splendid securities in War
Savings Stamps that are offered
them.’’
PIGS BEAT COTTON MAKING
MONEY.
In April of 1917, the Fourth Na
tional Bank of Macon, to encourage
the growing of more and better hogs,
offered .to 'sell to farmers pure-bred
hogs at cost plus 6% for 12 months.
There were 75 head sold as a result
of this offer;
Among others who took advantage
of this chance to get some good stock
cheap was C. B. Dennard, living out
on R. 1’. D. 3. He bouhgt a Duroc-
Jersey bred gilt for $35.00. On March
21, 1917, she farrowed the first litter
of six pigs. He sold two of them
for $25.00 each and fattened the other
four for meat, whicli gave him > 800
pounds worth $120.00.
The second litter consisted of seven
pigs, which he sold for $625.00.
; The third litter consisted of eight
pigs. He sold the mother and six
pigs for $400.00, reserving two of the
best for his own use.
Tire cost of the bred gilt was $35.00,
and the interest on his note was
$2.10.
The total income derived from the
investment during a period of nine
teen months was $1,325.00.
This is an unusual case. In fact,
it is one of a very few banks in the
state willing to loan money on hogs,
and especially at 6%. Up in Iowa,
where the raising of nine million hogs
makes it the leading ffog state, banks
will loan on cattle, horses and hogs
about as quick as on real estate.
Georgia produces about three mil
lion hogs, and is a better state to
raise hogs in than Iowa. If Georgia
is ever to become a big hog producing
state, the men who have money to
loan will have to follow the example
set by the Macon bank. There is no
doubt but that hog raising beats cot
ton making money.
CARD OF THANKS.
We desire to thank the good neigh
bors and friends for their kindness and
good deeds shown us during the ill
ness and death of our dear father and
husband. Especially do we thank Drs.
Gibson, Foster and Walice for their
faithfulness. May God’s richest bless
ings rest and abide with all, is our
prayer.

All who owe me are urged to come
and settle at once. I accommodated
you and now I need your help so that
l can meet my obligations. Yours is
past due. Come at once.

IN MEMORY OF LITTLE MASON
BANKS.
The Four-Year-Old Son Of Mr. and
Mrs. J. R. Banks.
God, in His mysterious way, lias
sent His angel and broken the chain
of the little twins of Mr. and Mrs. J.
R. Banks, and placed it in heaven,
for us to one by one join together
again, not an earthly chain, but a
heavenly one.
It was so sad and so strange why
God took the one that seemed to us
was most needed, but God makes no
mistakes. We jeannot understand
here, but sobe day we shall under
stand.
He told his mother that he was
going to die and for her not to cry.
He told his brothers and sisters not
to cry. But oh, ljow sad it was to
give him up. But oh, how sweet to
think of having angels to beckon us
to come higher. And God plainly tells
us in His Word that children are the
very light and kingdom of heaven. So
we will be submissive to Hte will as
we can.
God never puts more on us than
we can bear. Blessed be the name
of the Lord.
Precious Mason, he has left us—
Left us, yes, forevermore;
But we hope to meet our loved ones
On that bright and happy shore.
Lonely the house and sad the hours
Since our dear Mason has gone;
But, oh! a brighter home than ours
In heaven is now his home.
His sister,
MYRTICE BANKS.

ve Bandits Rob Pool Room Crowd
Phildelphia.—Five armed bandits
Id up and robbed a dozen men in
poolroom in the center of the city,
cash and jewelry amounting to
000. Entering the pool room quiet-
the bandits drew their revolvers

nts, several of whom are well
own in sporting circles of this city,
throw up their hands. They were
3n lined up against a rear wall and

“U-Boat Avenue” Over Mile Long
London.—A Reuter correspondent
who visited “U-boat avenue,” off Har

rines are lying, states that the "ave
nue” is over a mile lohg. “The sub
marines are towed to either side in
batches of threes and fours. Officers,
when asked the whereabouts of their
flags, said their flag was a red one."
The correspondent visited a subma
rine of the Deutschland type and saw
a bloodstained cat-’onlne tails which
a British sailor had found under the
captain’s bunk.

A REAL MAN.
It is pretty hard to assert your
independence and defy the world
when you hav& an empty pocket
book and no bank account.
The prudent man who has sav
ed a little, who has a reserve at the
Bank to tide him over a month or
more, isn’t so afraid of sickness, or
such a coward about being out of
a job. A bank account is a stimu
lant to real manhood, The larger
the account, the firmer the footing.
It breeds self-confidence, is a proof
of efficiency, and an ever present
resource in time of need. It’s not
what a man earns in a year that
gives him a surplus, it’s what he
saves.
Don’t make the mistake of wait
ing nntil you are old to start sav
ing. Start today. We give care
ful attention to all accounts, large
or small.
