Atlanta. —Forces are being lined up throughout the colintry to put over America's fifth war loan—the laat tba public will be called upon to absorb— the early part of April. The decision of the Treasury De partment to designate the new hoad lseue as the "Victory Liberty Loan," aeons to be meeting with general Tavor. Tho name carries the thought of the victory of America and her al lies on the battlefields of France for the cause of freedom and democracy. The amount of the loan will be de termined by the noeds of the Treas ury Department when the issue la au thorized It Is believed, however, It will be about six Billion Dollars—the same as the Fourth Liberty Loan. Tba Interest rate of tho securities has not been decided but assurances have been given that It will bs attractive from tho Investory'a point of view "Lot's finish the Job" is the appeal made by officials otf the War Loan organization to purchaser of bonds of the previous Issues and to work ers The county organizations are be ing reassembled tor the last great effort. In n atatement Just nmd. public, Governor Joseph A McCord, of the Federal Reserve Hank of Atlanta, chairman of the Sixth District War Loan Organization, emphasizes the need of another loan. “It was not alone tho achievement of our soldiers In breaking the Htn donburg line that made Germany beg for an armistice though I would not rob the fighters of any of the glory, he said. It was the gigantic scale of preparation in* America, behind the army, our huge production of arms, ammunition and ships; our greeter army in trnining behind the flrtag line, that convinced Germany K waa useless to fight nny longer." "By going Into it as we did, a vast sum was spent, hut It brought a sav ing In tha llvos of thousands of our young men. Critics have charged the Government with "extravagance”’ In handllug war contract*. It waa this determination to "win at any coat" that brought the llun to bis knees It was economy, not only in lives but In money we would have been com pt lied to spend had the war lasted •mother year or two years longer.” The obligations now outstanding for this enormous production of materia! must be met. That is the reason it la necessary to raise more money through bonds even though the armis tice has been signed. American sold lers still are in Europe and until they have heou brought hack and the hills paid, the public's duty to the Govern ment will not be fulfilled —the Job will not be finished.

They take up a lot of good room, and besides they make it difficult to cultivate lands with improved farm implements. Every stump should be pulled from the lands that are farmed. —Telfair Enterprise. Governor Dorsey is right when he asks that the capitol removal question be put to the people and be done with it.

It might be well to p ant some tobacco but there is danger in going too strong on present prices. —Claxton Enter prise.

The public is today paying more and more attention to the advertiser who tells his story in the county paper when he has something to sell which the other man can use. Merchants and business men have long since discovered that the cheapest and most effective way in which to reach the people is through an advertisement in the Progress which reaches practically every prosperous home in Toombs county, —Lyons Progress. The first issue of Henry Ford’s newspaper, the Dearborn Inde i pendent, which has made its ap pearance, shows that Mr. Ford’s ‘own page will be a big feature. He says the aim of the publica tion “will be to point out to its renders the opportunities that lie everywhere about them, and advise how they may be used to their best advantage.” While this is no new doctrine, its importance cannot be too forcibly stressed. —Butler Herald. Here is our vote for a baseball team this spring. We want to got into a live south Georgia league and there are eight towns so close together that the league can be made a good one with no very great expense. A team of returning army athletics would look good on our field. —Cordele Dispatch.
