 That is what he is going to need, the coming l2 months, from the aver age American family to pay the stag gering cost and ordinary government expenses. Some families will have to pay more in loans and taxes. Some will pay much less. Some, who pay only through indirect taxes, will not realize just what they are contribut- ing; but-all will pay.

 For each of the 2O0O0,OOO families in America this means an average oi $S50 in round figures, and for every man, woman and child an average of Sl7O.
 What is Uncle Sam buying with these enormous sums?
 The army is the biggest item, with $2,6S4,0OO.O00 already appropriated and $5,OOO,OOO,OOO more required - S3S422 from the average American family for the army.
 Next comes the cost of loans to the Allies, $3,OO7 ,OOO,OOO already, including the cost of printing the bonds, etc. and $2,OOO,OOO,OOO more to be provid- cd. This will amount in all to loan from each American family of $25.35. Of course, these loans are the debts of our Allies. but the money for them

 Aiming to effect saving fabout one page by the typewriter that took nearly four pages by hand. In this way. there is saving both of the time of the deputies and oi the sta tionery.
 An investigation was made of the machines which type documents di- rectly into bound books, but it was found that in order to operate them successfully, it is necessary to keep an expert repair man handy, as the ma chimes get out of order so easily. Sev- cral other county recorders use these machines, and find them excellent, but their forces are composed of men and include one or two deputies who are able to make repairs.
