has been of much value to both the
merchants and consumers wherever il

bound to be big help to all con.

his mind and feels encouraged to go
ahead, while the merchant is enabled
to square up with the jobber and man

to be the best time to pull off PAY Up
Week" especially in the farming dis
tricts, and it has been suggested that
it be made an annual event along about
the first of November. Merchants can
push the idea along by suggesting it in

LIBERTY BOND ISSUE
AGAIN BEFORE Us
OFFICIALS OF THE TREASURY
SET MINIMUM OF
s21o,ooo,ooo.
THIS DISTRICT TO RAISE THAT
OF $3,o0o,ooo,00o Second Issue TO
From Far Neutrality-suspicious.
Based on Banking Resources
and Property Value.

Washington Treasury officials
have announced the apportionment
of the second Liberty bond issue Of
fered Monday morning among the
federal reserve districts of the coun-
try.
Virtually two-thirds of the loan is
expected to be raised by the New
York. Boston, Cleveland and Chicago
districts.
Appointments indicate only what
each district is expected to do, and
may be entirely upset, as in the case
of the first Liberty loan, by the actual
subscriptions. In making the appor-
tionments officials used two bases of
subscriptions, the minimum of $4,000
100000 and an expected amount" of
$4,000, 100000.
Apparently. in offering the second
issue, officials hope to realize a s5,-
000,000,000 response.
BY Reserve Districts.
Here is the apportionment by the
federal reserve district of San Fran
cisco, as announced by the treasury
department: Minimum 210,000,000;
Expected amount $350,000,00O
On Percentage Basis.
In each case, the announcement
reads, ''the amount has been COM
puted on the percentage basis, and
while the banking resources of each
district-that is, the total resources
and trust companies-have been Civ
of the national banks, state banks
en- large consideration, other factors
have been taken into account, such
as the income tax collected from
each district, the assessed value of
property therein, the subscriptions re-
ceived from each district to the first
Liberty loan, and the amount of
bonds allotted on each subscription,
the capital available for bond in
vestment in each district and it's po-
pulation."
Apportionmen Base Varies.
The basis of apportionment thus
varies materially from that used in
the first Liberty loan, when the bank
ing resources of each federal reserve
district were the sole basis of calcula.
ton. Apportionment by states, easy
of computation in the first issue, can
not be determined except by trea-
sury experts in the second offering
1t is likely that such appointments
Will be announced shortly.
Governors of the federal reserve
banks have been notified by Secreta.

CAPS TO TRADE

There is a "big fat man" and "tall slender man" who have been charged with stealing in Seward. The "tan slender man" accuses the "big fat man" of stealing his cap at the dance last night and several boys of the Saturn will prove that the "big fat man" was seen prowling around property not his own and purloining something therefrom, whether it was a cap or not. Anyway somebody is wearing a cap that belongs to the "tan slender man" and he has a kick coming. There is a cap at the Gate ways office and this might settle the controversy as the Gateway does not want to see any arrests made in this particular instance nor no hard feel ings because someone might be taken for somebody else on the streets through a cap. And caps are needed this kind of weather,

 The fate of the barge is unknown as glasses have been able to pick her up Whether she has been pounded c pieces on the southern end of the harbOr difted out or what is absolutely unknown. There was a dorv aboard the barge and the three could have es oaped ashore if the barge drfted on land and in dan ger of being wrecked
 The barge is owned by the Griffin company of Seat tie and has been anchored in the north end of the channel since August after 4OOO tons of freight discharg ed for the commission.
