quotas as the metropolis of the coun-
try greatly exceeded it's. There was
hardly State. city, or community
that did not do the same. Poor crop
conditions, recent great fire, and
other local causes resulted in two
districts falling little below their
allotments, but the arge oversub
scription everywhere else more than
made up for this unavoidable defiei-
ency. Cities with large foreign-born
populations subscribed as literally as
others.
The united spirit of the American
people. the solidarity of the Nation,

nations, have been demonstrated.

within the next few months. The

loan of two billion dollars a success
will operate to make the new one
equally successful In fact, the in
formation regarding Government
bonds and finances now possessed by
the people of the country will make
the placing of the next issue of bonds
less difficult Those subscribers of
the first issue who were not allotted

new issue a start of more than a bill

as certain that they will not lose the

BRAZILIAN DEMAND FOR
FARM MACHINERY

The present prosperity of Brazil
has led to a renewed interest in mod
ern agricultural methods and to a
demand for all sorts of American
farm machinery and implements,
states a report on the subject made
public today by the Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce, of the
Department of Commerce. It is ex-
pected that the industrial and agri-
Gu tural revival that has taken place
In Brazil since the first period of de-
preston that followed the outbreak
Of the war will make itself felt for
many years to come.
Agricultural conditions in each of
the Brazilian states is described at
| length in the report, which is en-
titled, Markets for Agricultural I'm.
plements and Machinery in Brazil,
Special Agents Series No. 14O, and
the point is made that small farms

rather than very large farms and ex

Bond Purchases And
National Saving

In speech delivered by Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo in New
York City June 4, 1917, he made the
following statement:
IF this war continues for another
IL months, it is probable that the
total amount of financing the Govern
ment will have to do to cover its own
expenditures and extend the neces-
sary credit to the allied Governments
will amount to ten billion dollars"
This or some large amount will be
expended by the Governments of the
Uunited States and its allies in the
United States in the purchase of
products of various kinds of our
farms, factories, and mines.
This money is to be raised largely
by the sale of bonds in the United
States which have been and will be
purchased by the people of this coun-
try.
Economists are now specializing as
to whether under these conditions
the people of the United States are
going to spend as much as they ordi-
narily would and to their usual ex-
penditures will there be added the
ten billion dollars or such sums as
may be spent by the Governments, or
will the people curtail their expendi-
lures by approximately the amount
they invest in Government bonds.
with the result that the expenditures
in America this year will be practic-
ally the same as heretofore, the peo-
pie purchasing approximately as
much less than usual as the Govern.
ments purchase more.
1t is hoped that this happy balance
will be effected. The large bond
buyers will very probably curtail
their investments among other lines
TO the extent they invest in Govern.
ment onds. Their ordinary expendi
lures will probably renal the same.
1t is regarded as probable that the
great body of purchasers of the
smaller amounts of Liberty Loan
Bonds are going to curtail their liv.
ing expenses, largely in the way OF
cutting off luxuries. pretty much by
the amount they invest in Govern.
ment bonds. The man with an an

To remove causes of disease and

Many times it happens that the
physician, whose work it is to treat
diseases in the individual, has to
combat maladies which proper SAM
tation could have prevented. 1t is
here the expert santitarian finds his
field of endeavor.
When scientific men discovered
that many diseases, such as malaria,
tuberculosis, typhoid fever and intes-
tinal disorders, each has it's own par
ticular germ, to destroy these germs,
to prevent their reaching new vic

would stop their spreading and null

Tallahassee, July 2-Governor Sid
ney ]. Cats has fixed the state tax
evy for the current year at 9 mills.
Under the laws of Florida levy
of II mills could have been made,
and during the cosing days of the
session of the legislature of 1917 it
was generally understood and wide
ly published through the state that at
least 10 mills would be necessary to
take care of the large appropriations
made by the legislature. 1t will
therefore, be gratifying to taxpayers
to know that the levy will not be so
high as expected.
After careful consideration of the
situation and upon the recommends
ton of the state comptroller, Ernest
Amos, the governor reduced the levy
of mills for general state purposes
which had been authorized by the leg
islature, making the levy mills. The
present levy of 2 mills for general
state purposes assessed for last year
was insufficient and caused the funds
in the treasury to be exhausted and
this, together with the additional ap-
! preparations made at the recent ses-
sion of the legislature, made it neces-
! sary to increase the levy.
1t was estimated just after the ses
sion closed that it would be neces
sary to levy 5 mills to meet the ap
! preparations made and carry on the
ordinary and usual expenses of the
state government, but by cutting cor
ners, practicing rigid economy ant
holding in allegiance, until funds come
in, the expenditures not needed i'm
mediately, and in view of the extr;
burdens the people will have to bea
in every line of endeavor, Comptrol
Ter Amos recommended that the stat

be produced by levy of mills 70
