The Clearing House Association is
actively at work, co-operating with
the local committee, and is prepared

a most effective manner.
The first voluntary subsecrintion
reported to the lpcal committee Wed
nesday was one for $200,000. sub

00.
Other subscriptions received by the
local committee Wednesday morning:
The Fquitable Life Insurance Com
pany subsecribed $25,000: the F’idPlity‘
Mutual. $20,000 and a dozen or more

were reported from local firms, among
them the Liquid Carbonie Company,
McCrary Refrigerator Company, Hav
erty Turniture Company, the Dodges
Sales and Engine Company and B,
F. Avery & Son.
A telegram received from the oom-‘
mittee at Chattanooga Tuesday night
stated that as a result of the first
day's campaign in that city the sum
of £1,250,000 had already been suh-‘
scribed and the amount was growing
hourly at an unexpected rate of speed.
A rew method of aiding in the Vie
tory drive was made known Wednes- |
« day through the sending out by
Frank R Wilson, national publicity
director, of a circular-letter advoecat
inz the adoption of a suggestion made |
by Tennessee committees. This sug
gestion is that persons who expect to
'~ contribute to the various religious
funds being raised by the churches
this year invest the money in Vietory
notes and trun these in to the church
funds.
5, Means Good Investment.
~ More than half a billion dolars
Wwill be raised by all denominations in
the next five years, the period during
which the notes will pay interest.
The Centenary Movement of the
Methodist Church expects to raise
£105,000,000 and the New Era Move
ment of the Presbyterian Church will
ask for $100,000,000. A large portion
of these sums will be used for en
gg:vmoms of educational and other
enominational institutions and it is
urged that if the sums be invested in
Victory notes and turned into the
+ funds in that form, they will consti
tute a most valuable investment for
the churches,
The interest rate of 4 3-4 and the
maturity date of five years makes the
plan both feasible and attractive to
the denominational drive funds, Vie
tory Loan officials urge,
Hundreds of telegrams of accept
ance are pouring in on St. Elmo Mas
sengale, director of publicity, from
newspaper editors invited to come to
Atlanta on May 1 and hear Carter
Glass, Secretary of the Treasury, de
liver his first address here. Many
county chairmen will come also, as a
specific invitation has been extended
to all those whose counties are over
the top by May 1.
The twelve counties officially re
ported their quotas completed are:
Tennessee—Humphreys, Van Bu
ren, Bradley and Loudon.
Alabama—Lowndes, Shelby, Perry
and Cillman.
Georgia—Dougherty and Clay.

Government has arranged to issue

General Sibert also told the audi
ence that the United States at the
time the armistice was signed, had
prepared a gas that was far more
deadly than that used by the Ger
mans and that it was ready to be used
on them when hostilities ceased.
The address of General Sibert was
heard with intense interest and was
vigorously applauded. He was intro
duced by Samue! C. Dobbs, president
of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce

WASHINGTON, April 23.—Unoffi
cial estimates by Treasury Depart
ment officials today placed total sub
scriptions to the Victory Loan at the
end of the second day's drive at near
ly $500,000.000. Reports were slow in
coming in, they stated, but from those
in hand they roughly estimated that
subscriptions so far have been at the
rate of a quarter billion dollars a day.
Chicago today wired the Treasury
that the loan activities on the second
aay were at the same high pitch of
enthusiasm that featured the drive on
the opening day. Fifty foreign lan
guage meetings, attended by 50,000
persons, were held, with. band con
certs and a great chorus at the Vig
tory forum. Drills and firing of giant
coast defense "guns addad to the en
thusiasm. Reports from the entire
district were highly encouraging. The
district has adopted a new slogan,
“Let's Finish the Job in & Week.”
From Boston “came the mgssage
that 48 cities and towns in New Eng
land had subscribed their guotas up
to last night.
' Estimated sales of $60,000,000 at the
closing of business last night were
reperted from the Cleveland district.
Sixty-one honor flags have bheen
awarded, against 31 at the end of the
second day of the fourth loan drive.
Soldiers are proving successful sales
men, The city of Cleveland reports
sales of $5,630,000,
Minneapolis reported conditions
throughout the district as “entirely
satisfactory.” The bad state of the
roads is delaying reports of the work
of the vurious loan organizations, it
was said.
More than $5.500,000 has been sub
gcribed in the two days in the Kan
sas City district, it was reported. Fif
teen counties in Oklahoma already
have gone over.
From San Francisco came the re
port that 16 of the 35 counties in the
State of Oregon had oversubscribed
at the end of the first day. In Port
land $2,000,000 was subscribed at the
start and the entire State is further
ahead than it was at the end of the
second day of any of the four preced
ing loans.
Only two counties in the Dallas
district have gone over. Rallies are
being held throughout the district and
an intensive sales campaign will be
started before the end of the week.

Shellman Over Top
In 30 Minutes
SHELLMAN, GA., April 23.—With
in less than 30 minutes at a patriotic
meeting held in the Methodist Church
here yesterday Shellman subscribed
her full quota of $50,000 to the Vie
tory Loan. The meeting was called
to order by Chairman F. C. Sears,
and after a very inspiring talk made
by Lieutenant H. C. Stephens, of
Camp Gordon, the people readily
came across with their share in the
loan.
Randolph County has always gone
over the top with a good surplus in
every loan, and it is a known faet
that Cuthbert will bring up her end
of the line with the same spirit that
predominates over the county, and
that he Victory Loan will be taken
care of in good shape.
