How to Open a Book.

Hold the book with its back on a
smooth or covered table; let the front
board down, then the other, holding
the leaves in one hand while you open
a few leaves at the back, then a few
at the front, and so on, alternately
opening back and front, gently press
ing open the sections till you reach the
center of the volume. Do this two or
three times and you will obtain the
best results. Open the volume viO-
lently or carelessly in any one place
and you will likely break the back and
cause a start in the leaves. Never
force the back Of the book.-Modern

number of producers of either Of the

ers to the new liberty loan now being
f1oated are interested in knowing
just how the mony obtained is used.
A large amount of money is necessary
to maintain the Navy, which has been
called upon to defend our coast and
our commerce from attack. To put
the Navy on a war basis, every ship
in reserve had to be fully manned
and commissioned. Many auxiliary
vessels also had to be added.
On April 6 there were "a, $50 en-
listed men; now there are more than
136, 900. In addition. we have en-
listed more than 35, 900 reserves and
there are 10, 900 National Naval Vol
unteres in service.
Contracts have been placed for every
destroyer and submarine chaser that
the shipyards of the country can build,
and new records are expected in con-
struction. All this is in addition to
the 80, OO0-ton battleships; the five
battle cruisers of 35, 900 ton each,
the largest and swiftest war vessels
ever built; the six scout cruisers and
many auxiliary craft for which we
have made contracts. These will be
bnilt as early as possible, but the
right of way of construction is being
given to destroyers and small craft. .
Since the day war was declared the
Navy has pstroled our own caosts.
For coast defenses scores of vessels
have been secured-yachts, fishing
vessels, fast motor boats. and other
minor craft, and others are being ad-
ded to this force as rapidly as possible.
The Navy has sent to France g
corps of aviators. who arrived or
June 8, the first contingent of the
regular med forces of the United
States to land on French soil. The
Aeronautic Corps has been greatly
enlarged, aviation bases established
along the coast, and officers and mer
trained in the operation of seaplanes
dirigibles, balloons, and other types
of aircraft. An additional appropria
tion of s45, 900, 900 has been asked
for aviation.
About $50, 900, 900 is involved il

Too Much paper" Wheat.
Directors OF the Minneapolis
chamber of commerce will meet
there today to decide whether to
follow the action of the Chicago
board.
The crisis which brought about
the unprecedented action of the
board is supposed to have result
ed from:
Vast quantities of wheat being
bought that do not exist and can
not be obtained;
Purchase of wheat that cannot
be found, by allied governments,
and
Mulcting of western traders,
who are credited with having sold
to European governments and
others, wheat they could not get,
by eastern financiers who knew
true conditions.
Act With Speed.
The action that resulted in
closing the May market came
swiftly. Allen G. Anderson, vice
chairman of the Royal Food
commission, and r. T. Robson,
chief buyer of foods for the COM
mon pot that feeds Great Brit
ain, France and Italy, called upon
