SPECULATORS TRY
TO GRAB LIBERTY
BONDS AT BARGAIN
People Urged Not to Sell Government
Sscuritle# at Sacrifice or Exchange
Them For Questionable Paper.
Atlanta.—Reports are reaching the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta that
many owners of Liberty Bonds are
selling them at prices lower than
their market value.
Investigations show that shrewd
speculators are active in trying to
induce people to part with their Gov
ernment securities. Many of them
are offering to take Liberty Bonds In
exchange for some other so-called
"security” which promises a higher
rate of Interest than Liberty Bonds.
It is pointed out by Treasury of
flcials that Liberty Bonds are worth
every dollar paid for them. One evi
dence of their value is the eagerness
of the speculator to get possession of
them. He knows what they are worth.
Their Liberty Bond owner does not
know the value of the "slock” or
"bond” he is offered in exchange for
his Government security.
Liberty Bonds have hack of them
the entire resources of the United
States which makes them worth their
faoe value. The person who exchang
es them for some other kind of paper
risks losing the money invested la
his bond as well as the Interest.
Other people are selling their bonds
because they feel that “the war's
over” and they are no longer oblig
ated to hold them. Although fighting
has ceased, the war will not be over
until the peace treaty is signed and
our soldiers are home. A Liberty Bond
is a certificate of service and the per
son who sells them at a sacrifice is
desorting the ca/use. He is refecting
on hie own judgment and patriotism
and surrendering an Investment that
never will fail to pay returns.
It is recognized that there are times
when investors are compelled to seek
relief from financial distress. Often
their first impulse Is to dispose of their
Liberty Bonds.
In such cases the bank is the place
to go. Banks will lend money on Lib
arty Bonds. The borrower is helped
•ut of his difficulty and does not lose
possession of his Government bond.
WAR WORK INCREASES
PEACE WORIUT“Y.W."
The war work done by the Young
Women’s Christian Association has
multiplied the opportunities for con
structive work by that organization.
Binoe the armistice was signed the
local associations in the larger cities
of the state are visited daily by large
•umbers of people who hardly realized
that there was such a thing as the
"Y. W.” until they were introduced
to the Hostess Houses at the different
army camps. Their reception at these
Hostess Houses was so pleasant and
the assistance rendered by the worn
en in charge so practical, that now the
natural thing to do is to rely upon the
local associations in Atlanta, Macon
Columbus, Savannah or Augusta when
eompetent, practical advice Is wanted
by the girl or woman who finds herself
In either of these cities.
If a girl goes to Atlanta to work,
•he has only to Indicate a desire, and
she will be met at the train, taken
either to the Young Women’s Chris
tion Association boarding home, or tc
some other place where she will be
assure* of friendly attention and the
same safety that she would have in
her ewn home. She may, if she likes,
spend her leisure hours in comfortably
furnished club rooms at the local
headquarters. In short, she Is among
friends from the moment she arrives.
In fact, the great majority of girls
and women taking advantage of the
conveniences offered by the organiza
tion are from the country and smaller
towns of the state. The girls that live-
In the city already have their own
homes and their own friends.
That is the reason the Young Worn
on’s Christian Association is asking
each dounty in Georgia to give jusl
one hundred dollars between Febru
ary Bth and 17th to help carry on
the work during 1919.
HaSf Your Living
Without Money Cost
We are all at a danger point. On
the use of good common sense in our
1919 farm and garden operations, de
pends prosperity or our “going broke.”
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit, and make
money. Food and grain are higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It’s a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
lightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to furnish nearly half your liv
ing. It will save you more money
than you made on the best two or
three acres of cotton you ever grew!
Hastings’ 1919 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of a money sav
ing garden and the vegetables to put
fn it. It tells about the farm crops as
well and shows you the clear road to
real and regular farm prosperity. It’#
