Economy In War Times.
In Strong contrast to their neigh¬
bors, the French across the English
channel, the masses of the English
people a few years ago were pro¬
verbially a spendthrift rather than
a saving race. But the great war
has wrought a change.
In the year 1916 although pur¬
chasing billions of dollars of war
bonds the small savings banks de¬
positors in England increased their
deposits over sixty million dollars.
It was patriotism that started
this great change in the people of
the nation. The English people
started saving their money because
they saw that it meant saving Eng¬
land. But thrift and economy be
^got thrift and economy. They
economized and saved for their
own sake as well as for England's
sake. Not only did they save
money but they economized in
food, in fuel, in dress, in luxuries.
More than one million English
workers were purchasers, out of
their savings, in the second great
war loan of •Great Britain, and
eight^nillion subscribed to their
last war loan.
The question whet tier the civilian
population should economize and
do without certain things or the
soldiers and sailors be denied
things necessary for their effective¬
ness and safety was answered in no
uncertain or unpatriotic way by
the masses of the English people.
They did their hit in financing
their country.
Neither in ability nor in patriot¬
ism are the American people second
to the English or tire French or the
or any-Other nation, The Liberty
Loan is at once an appeal and a
pride. It appeals to their patriot¬
ism and their civic pride; it is an
opportunity to save and an oppor¬
tunity to serve their country.
No American need feur that the
results of the American people’s
support of the Liberty Loan will
fail to maintain America’s tradi¬
tional patriotism und power. The
more than four million subscribers
and the more than a billion over¬
subscription to the first issue of the
Liberty Loan Bonds are eloquent
testimony of the American peo¬
ple’s loyalty to their Government
and their willingness and ability to
give it full financial support.

A PEOPLES’ WAR
“The great fact that stands out
above all the rest is that this'is a
Peoples’ War, a war for freedom
and justice and self-government
amongst all the nations of the
world, a war to make the worfd
safe for the peoples who live upon
it and have made it their own, the
German people fJjerpseJ ves includ¬
ed; and that with U» rgsfs ffip
choice to break through all these
hypocrisies and patent cheats-and
masks of brute force and help set
the world free, or else stand aside
and let it be dominated along age
through by sheer weight of arms
and the arbitrary choices of self
constitued masters, by the nation
wMch Pan maintain the biggest
armies and the qiost irresistible
aramaments—a power to which the
world has afforded no parallel and
in the face of which political free¬
dom must withei and perish.”—
YVoodrow Wilson, President of the
United States.

South Georgia Crops
Best In Years.
Corn. Cotton and Cane Top
The last Of Bumper
Crops.
South Georgia farmers will reap
the richest harvest on record this
year. The corn crop will be large
—perhaps twenty-five per cent
larger than the normal crop of last
year. Cotton, while the stand is
poor, will produce very nearly as
many bales as last year. The cane
crop is excellent. The acreage
greater and the condition of plunt
was never better at this time of
the year.
There is an enormous acreage of
sweet potatoes, und a big yield is
assured. Storage houses ate build¬
ing in many localities to save the
crop, which makes certain a satis¬
factory price, because they can be
marketed gradually. Then, too,
the army camps will take large
quantities of s^set potatoes, as
long as the war lasts.
Pigs and peanuts go well
together, and there is good reason
—peanuts thrive better in coastal
plain section of SonthGeorgia than
any other part of the South, and is
the cheapest and best hog feed
known, when harvested by Mr,
Hog himself. The acreage in
Georgia this year is many times
greater than ever before planted. •
There are meat packing plants in
operation, or building, at Moultrie,
Waycross, Tifton, Jacksonville,
Atlanta and other points. These
packing houses provide a market
every day in the year for live hogs,
and are paying very high prices for
good stuff.
South Georgia is the best place
on earth for the small farmer to
make a start in life. There are
many who will make enough on
this year’s crop to buy and equip
a small farm, and have enough left
to run his farm and family until
another harvest.
If you are interested and want
more information about farming
opportunities in South Georgia,
drop a card to W. YV, Croxton,
carp of A- IL & A. Hy., Atlanta,
Ga.
