FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1919
. TOP 'O THE MORNING!
Smell of the woods in the morning;
The sun shines gold through the
trees,
And the heavens are filled with musie
From the lips of the wide-eyed
breeze.
And who's for a plunge in the water
A swim in the laughing lake?
- Be quick! There is breakfast to follow
And there still is the fire to make.
I'm in! What a splash! Are you ready?
Who, who would lie lazy asleep
When all of the wide world is calling
With the lure of lake blue and
deep?
'\So come, that’s the stuff, all together,
Swim, swim with a stroke true and
straight
To the boat and the first back, the
winner— '
Great ginger! But swimming is
great!
The first back, the first one to break
fast!
Then the trail once again and the
fun—
The day lies alluring before us,
And the morning is only begun!
Edmund Leamy in Boys’ Life for
May.
CAMP CHEFS
“Ordinarily a scout is supposed to
have a digestion like a billy goat, and,
after seeing thousands of scouts eat,
1 am convinced that that supposition |
is not far from the truth,” says the
Cave Scout in the May issue of Boys’ ‘
Life. “And yet I have been in camps
where nine-tenths of the boys were
suffering from stomach-ache and kin
dred ailments. Funny, isn’t it, how
some fellows who have never even
boiled water have a notion that they
can go into the woods and become
expert camp chefs first shot out of
the box! I've seen samples of their
work, and I've tried to eat it, and I'll
tell the world that their cookery
would turn inside out the toughest old
tin-can-chewing billy goat that ever
walked! = Half raw, grease-soaked
spuds, coffee black as mud, flapjacks
doughy in the middle and burned to
cinders outside—the whole meal li
berally seasoned with charcoal, bugs
and sand! Woof!”

STARTS WITH BOOM;
NEW LOAH POPULA
interest At 43,9, Per Cent And Four-
Year Term Pleases The
Public
Atlanta, Ga.—The Victory Loan
campaign has got off to a flying start,
to judge from the telegrams pouring in
upon the district headquarters within
the first few days of the big drive. That
the Sixth Federal Reserve District
will go over the top with a bang is
indicated by the early results, though
it will require the co-operation of every
citizen to make success assured.
The announcement of the terms of
the Victory Loan did a great deal to
inspire subscriptions from those who
invested from a business standpoint as
well as from patriotic motives. The
notes pay 4 3 /4%, the highest interest
of any of the Liberty Loan series, and
are payable by the government in four
years after date. This high interest
and the short term makes them cer
tain to remain at a high figure, finan
ciers say, and there will be no dan
ger of their dropping to a discount.
Secretary Carter Glass has announc
ed positively that this will be the last
of the Liberty loans. It will pay the
bill for defeating the Hun and bring
the boys back home.
The campaign all over the district
was opened with parades and great
celebrations. In Atlanta the central
part of the city was more elaborately
decorated than ever before in history.
In several of the larger cities the “fly
ing circus” of airplanes fought mimic
battles in the air high above the
streets. Secretary Glass is to deliver
an address in Atlanta on May 1.
Chairmen all over the Southern
states are reporting that the Victory
loan is easier to put over than they
had expected. ‘
“Our people have not lost their pa
triotism,” they report. “There 'was
an apparent apathy. We had begun
to believe the public thought the war
was all over and there was no use in
subscribing to more bonds. But we
were wrong. The American—city man,
town man, farmer,—is willing to pay
his share of the war bill, and he fis
proving it.”
That is the patriotic side of the mat
ter. On the business gide, the short
term bonds or notes appear to strike
the public qye favorably. The average
man is more willing to tie up his
money for four years than for a long
er period, and the fact that the gov
ernment promises to pay in four years
makes the securities more easily ne
gotiable at full price than if a period
of twenty years were involved.
The quota for the district is $144,
000,000. Several counties reported
arly on the first day that their quotas
haci been reached, and asked for Vic
tory Loan honor flags, which are to
be awarded to every community over
subscribl'ng its share. The fair and
square individual quota system adopt
ed by many counties helped to carry
them over the top on “Volunteer
Days,” the first two days of the cam
paign. In the Third Loan campaign
every county in the district went over
and an effort is being made to repeat
this performance this time.

W. W. Watkins,
ARKANSAS BANKS ON
HER COUNTY AGENTS
That the business men and bankers
of Arkansas believe that the presence
of the county agent promotes general
prosperity is shown by the way they
get behind and push th extension
work among the farmers. For this
yvear’'s work 64 out of 75 counties
raised $161,030, according to reports
received by the States Relation Ser
vice of the United States Department
of Agriculture. This is exclusive of
State and Federal aid.
This amount was contributed from
the county funds. All appropriations
are made by the quorum courts, which
are composed of the justices of the
peace of each county. On their meet
ing day the bankers and business
men meet with them and urge liberal
appropriations for extension work,
arguing that any work that helps the
farmers and their wives increases
general prgsperity. The sum of $96,-
480 was appropriated for man county
agents and $53,260 for woman de
monstrators amoung the white popu
lation. For negro agents and home
demonstrators $11,290 was approp
riated.
This is believed to be a remark
able record for any state. -

A HISTORIC PRIZE FOR
’ SOME GEORGIA COUNTY
i. Atlanta, May I—Georgia counties
‘are making a fight for the historic
‘bow ornament taken from the United
States Battleship Georgia.
This ornament, which is now in the
hands of the state, has been offered
by Governor Dorsey as a prize fo
the county in this state which secures
the largest percentage of its taxpay
ers as subseribers to the Victory Loan.
The county must, of course, make its
quota, also..
The ornament is thirty-five feet in
length and seven feet high in the cen
ter. It would make an attractive dec
oration for a park entrance or pub
lic building. When the Navy Depart
ment decided to paint all the battle
ships a drab color, the decorations
were removed. This ornament was
turned over to the state for an indefi
nite period and will be awarded to
the county on the same basis.
