HOW ABOUT IT?
How many people bought Liberty
bonds and have neglected to cut
their coupons and collect their in
terest?
Many persons in the country,
through motives of patriotism,
bought government bonds during
the world war. Some of them were
not familiar with such transactions,
had never seen a bond, and did not
know about being bondholders and
clipping coupons. It is not surpris
ing, therefore, to hear that many
these willing investors have failed to
realize the benefits of their holdings.
The Undersecretary of the Treas
ury is authority for the statement
that there are now outstanding ma
tured coupons on Liberty bonds of
an aggregate value of $58,314,380.
It is probable that a large number of
these coupons will never be present
ed for payment.
A western paper remarks:
While the government is the gain
er financially through the strange
neglect that permits money due to
remain in the. Treasury, the people
who bought the securities are losing
large sums, of money that they can
probably ill afford to lose.
Foreign countries have been in
•the habit of looking upon America
as a nation ceaseless in its chase for
the almighty dollar, and as being a
country of coupon cutters. The
facts would indicate that the United
States has thousands of citizens who
do not know what to do with bonds
after they get them. They either
fail through unfamiliarity in making
such investments to demand their in
terest, or else they are too busy to
og down in the strong box and clip
their demand notes.
The government is willing to nay
them. The people are slow about
asking what is coming to them.
FILLING THE FEDERAL PRISON
Uncle Sam has built up a pretty
good sized city within the walls of
his reservation a short distance out
from Atlanta. The federal prison
has a large number of inmates just
now. “Good Words,” the prison pa
per, says there art; 2,468 prisoners
incarcerated there. The census of
the institution “Good Words” states,
for the period, March 27 to April 26,
showed 183 were received during
the month, two returned from es
cape, 114 discharged by expiration
©f sentence, three by commutation
of sentence, seven transferred to
other institutions, two escapde, nine
teen paroed and one died. The last
register number was given as 15,-
863.
,We are not advised as to the av
erage number of inmates of the pris
on, hut this seems to us to be a very
heavy incarceration. We take ; t
this must be the case if the last reg
istered number of an inmate is but
little belw 16,000. If that repres
ents the total for the period since
the prison was put into commission,
then it is evident that within the
past few years men are beng sent
there in greater numbers than be
fore. The answer to this we take, is
found in the large enrollmentment
of violators of the dry laws. You
know, we put men in the federal
prison now for offenses that were
formerly expiated in the town cala
boose or by working on the streets.
The bootleggers are classed as
among the federal court cr.minals
and there must be a lot of them in
the Atlanta prison. Savannah sent
up a special carload the other day
as the result of a week’s session of
Judge Grubb’s court and they w'ere
almost entirely liquor and narcotic
cases.
“And one died.” That is the sad
dest entry in the quotation from
“Good Words.” Travelers out of
Atlanta on the trains of the South
ern railroad en route to Macon,
sometimes notice on the side of the
track opposite to that upon which
the great prison stands, a small
burying ground with a score or more
of white marble slabs, all of uniform
size and each a twin to its fellow
There leads under the railroad track
a passageway from prison yard to
cemetery. That is the final resting
place probably of him who died dur
ing the period reviewed by the cen
sus. A sad ending for a human life.

HELP HOME TRADING
If you are doing business with
Mail Order Concerns —If you are
sending your cash out of town—do
doing business with mail order con
cerns —keep mum about the growth
the industries —the advantages or
beauty of the town. You have no
boast coming. It is a good town not
because of you, but in spite of you.
If you are not a Home Trader You
are a Traitor to the Best Interest of
the Town. This community is made
up of individuals. Its prosperity de
pends on individual effort. If you
send your money away for goods
that can be purchased here, you in
jure the town —and yourself.
When you buy from a mail order
oncern —your money is gone for
good. Not one red cent of it ever
comes back. None of it pays for tax
es. None of it pays store rent, clerk
hire —or does a blessed one of the
dozens of things accomplished by
home spent money.
Suppose everyone in this city sent
away for their merchandise. The
town would go to rack and ruin.
You wouldn’t be able to give proper
ty away. There would be little em
ployment for labor. Schools—
churches —everything of a public
nature would be stripped to poor
house poverty. There’s no reason
why anyone should deal with mail
order concerns. Your home town
merchant carries the best grades of
merchandise on the market. There
are goods of recognized merit. They
are sold at practically one price the
world over. You know you are get
ting full value in quality. The big
gest manufacturers in the country
insure that with their trademarks.
Your purchases are protected. There
is no buying dissatisfaction—long
waits—long distance return costs —
or delivery charges.
Your dealer appreciates your pa
tronage. He puts forth every ef
fort to hold your trade. He becomes
intimately acquainted with your
likes and dislikes—consequently can
serve you in the most satisfactory
manner. And to top off all of these
important advantages—your local
merchant can save you money.
By all means talk up your town—
but first win the right to speak by
spending your money at home. It is
the solid worth of home spent money
not words that establishes the pub
lic wealth and welfare of the com
munity.
Donate to the good of the town by
trading IN town —and get the great
est value for your dollars. S
THE ALBANY HERALD ha?
made this discovery:
“There is no getting around the
fact that road buiding and develop
ment of rural districts go hand in
hand. When a paved highway is
built through the farming districts
of a country, it means that the value
of lands in that vicinity will go up,
that more country homes will be
built, that there will be an increase
of population, that tax values will
rise and that those who live on the
farms will be far better satisfied
with their condition. A main high
way that is paved soon becomes a
consistent dividend payer.

Record Auto Output
During March 346,383 motor cars
and motor trucks were manufac
tured, the largest month’s produc
tion in the histpry of the business.
This confirms the belief that 1923
will be a three million year.
The rural trade conditions, in the
main, are much improved. Trade re
ports from lowa show that the farm
demand for motor vehicles is 50 per
cent to 300 per cent better than last
year.

Many Important Matters Will Be
Acted Upon by Southern Baptists
Probably no session of the South
ern Baptist Convention since the
$75,000,000 campaign was projected
at Atlanta in 1919 has considered and
acted upon mere matters of import
ance to the future of the denomina
tion than will come before the Kan
sas City meeting of that body begin
ning Wednesday, May 16, at 10 a.
m. Prominent among the matters of
unusual importance to be considered
are plans for completing the $75,-
000,000 campaign, a program for
taking care of the general causes of
the denomination when the campaign
shall have been completed, appoint
ment of a survey commission looking
to a closer correlation of the various
activitie s and agencies of the conven
tion, determination of whether an
additional theological seminary shall
be established and a southwide uni
versity authorized, taking over of
the Southwestern Theological Semi
nary at Fort Worth, consideration of
the creation of a hospital commission
and consideration of a future policy
of the convention on hospital and
other projects not directly missionary
in their nature.
It is probable that Sunday after
noon, May 20, will be given over to
a monster evangelistic service at the
convention auditorium and that Sun
day evening will be devoted to the
hearing of addresses from foreign
missionaries at home on furlough.
If recommendations of the commit
tee on order of business are adopted
there will be no addresses of wel
come and responses thereto after
this year, as the committee feels
that the time required for these
could be more profitably devoted to
the pressing business cf the conven
tion.

in the clod, finds its way to the light. The short
green wheat blade of spring becomes the tall golden
stem of summer, crowned by many grains. Truth Is
never idle. Truth is growth; it is progress.
You cannot serve truth and .repose. You must con

denials and were unwiling to endure hardships for the

Make Gain During Year.
Including their work on both the
home and foreign fields, southern
Baptists made a net gain in member
ship of 180,127 during the past con
vention year, according to a report
which Dr. E. P. Alldredge, official ,
statistician, has prepared fer the j
Southern Baptist Convention. There j
has been a gain of 475 churches, j
1,184 Sunday schools, 89,692 Sunday j
school pupils, 1,857 Young People’s
Un ons, 83,409 members of unions,
and $13,162,887 in the value cf local
church property during the year, it
is shewn.
There has been a falling off in the
contributions of the churches of
slightly more than $1,000,000 to both
local causes and the general work of
missions, education and benevolence,
the survey reveals. About 4,000
more baptisms were administered on
the foreign mission fields during the
past year than for the year before.
