It also gives bank clearings for May at S26.120,417,SS2, a new high record for the month. and only S.6 per cent below the highest total ever recorded, that of December, 1916. The country outside of New York eclipses that of any preceding month This assumes especial significance following the re- action in trade after hysterical buy ing of foodstuffs and the holding up of financial enterprises pending liberty loan success. The main point is that clearings reflect activity in every part of the country and indicate super abundant activity in industry as well as the orderly economic influences generated by we'll employed and highly remunerated populace.'

WHAT THE RAILROADS ARE
 DOING FOR WAR.

Howard Elliot, of the Railroads War Board, issues statement of what the railroads are doing in the way of efficiency to meet war demands He says that on May there was short age of freight cars of 15O,0OO There are in the United States 2.500,0o0 freight cars. Better loading, better unloading, quicker work on the roads ought to result in the equivalent of an increase of 150,000 cars. There have been given out orders for 2,209 engines and 105,000 cars which ought to be ready between now and the first of January. The railroads are going to move food, fuel, iron and other raw materials in preference to luxuries.

A coMFoRTARLE DOCTRINE or
 TAXATION.

London Economist says Taxation hurts comparatively little in war times, but will hurt much when peace brings it's difficult problems. The more We. are taxed now, the more quickly we shall be relieved hereaf- ter Taxation is the remedy for ex- travagance and imitation which iii. creases the cost of war, impairs tinan- cial strength and will again react un- favorably on our after war position. Taxation in war time cannot be too high. as long as it does not impair health and efficiency of those on whom it is imposed because it either produces revenue, all of which is wanted, or else reduces consumption, setting free labor and energy for things wanted for the war

CONFIRMING ABUNDANT SUP
 PLY OF SUGAR.

Another nail was put in the coffin of the absurd food scare, which pre- vailed few weeks ago, by food ad- ministrator Hooover who makes the statement that there will be no fam inc in sugar for there is an ample sup ply of that commodity. 'I did say some time ago that there would be difficulty in securing sugar unless or der was restored in Cuba SC as to harvest the crop. The harvest will be taken care of all right and there is an ample supply both in Cuba and elsewhere"
 This is confirmation of the public statements made. and ignored. by the president of the American Sugar Re fining Company some time ago.

OMAHA LEADS LOAN
BANK SUBSCRIPTION
More Than Third of Stock
Taken by Public in Twelve
Banks Subscribed Here.
IS REDEEMABLE AT PAR

Washington, Feb. l5.-Pubic sub
Scription TO the stock of the twelve
federal farm loan hanks took up only
10000 shares OF value of $130,0O0,
and the government will supply the
remaining $S.S70.QD0. -.-
The farm loan board in announcing
the figures today made it clear that
public subscription had not been
thought desirable in view of the fact
that the stock is redeemable at par,
and that within a year or so at most
the banks would buy back the stock
from its original holders.
Thus, in the case of the Baltimore
bank, to which public subscription
aggregated about $1,000, the board
declined to entertain a suggestion
made by Baltimore banker that the
entire stock issue~be underwritten in
that city.
Compete returns of the stock sub
scription have not been received from
four of the twelve districts. Returns
tabulated thus far NNshow that the
greatest amount, about 5000 shares,
were subscribed for the Omaha bank.

Railroads to Send
Empty Cars West
In Solid Trains

Washington, Feb. 15.-Representa-
tives of thirty chief railroads con-
sidering the car shortage situation
here today made "gentleman's
agreement" to declare a virtual en-
barge against all shipments for ex-
port from eastern ports, to adopt a
liberal use of IAN intelligent embargo
against the eastbound domestic ship
ments and to send empty cars west
in solid train loads as fast as possible.
Representative of the Interstate
Commerce commission present at the
meeting are understood to favor the
plan.
The roads, working in close CO.
operation, will not accept further ex-
port shipments until part of the ex-
port traffic congested in eastern ports
is removed. As fast as traffic is
loaded on steamers new freight will
be accepted.
Foodstuffs for domestic use will
be accepted in limited quantities and
will have preference over all other
eastbound freight. Two fifty-car
trains of grain and -four will be
moved daily from Minneapolis by
fast freight-the grain for New Eng
land and the -four for Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia, New York and New
England, where it Is said there is a
threatened shortage.
Every railroad yard in the east is
reported in a state of congestion.
Railroad officials have agreed to pick
out the empties from the thousands
OF cars thus tied up and to send them
west in solid trains ahead of all other
traffic except passenger trains.
