SAVE AND INVEST N
GOVERNMENT SECURITIES
ADVICE GIVEN AMERICAN PEOPLE BY SECRETARY
Of THE TREASURY M'ADOO
ASSOCIATED Press

Washington, Dec. 5-Congress was
informed by Secretary McAdoo in his
annual report submitted today that
$5, ,128, ,203, ,793 must be provided in
addition to funds from taxes and
bond issues already authorized in
order to make estimated receipts fo1
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1919,
equal disbursements. If this deficit
is met by a new issue of bonds, the
total amount of securities to be is
sued in the next seven months is es-
timated at S9,969, ABS, $50.
For the next fiscal year, ending
June 80, 1919, the estimated excess of
disbursements over receipts is ST.
627, ,973 $50.
Huge war expenses and loans to
Americas allies at the rate of half
billion dollars month have made
these estimates many times larger
than any ever presented in secre-
tary of the treasury's annual report.
Of the 1876, 100000 estimated ordi-
nary expenditures for the year end
ing next June 80, 81, 1,527 100000 is
for war purposes. and the proportion
lis about the same for the fiscal year
ending in 1913.
So far the nation has borne the
financial burdens of the war well,
says Secretary McAdoo, owing to
healthy business conditions, and the
valuable aid of the established Fed
eral Reserve system. In the future,
however, increasingly greater habits
of economy must be developed by in
dividuals and business institutions,
the secretary declares, and business
as usual" cannot be adopted as the
guiding principle of the war. People
must save and invest in government
securities to avoid postponing vic
tory.

SENATOR FLETCHER

Reports Conditions at the Camp Bet
ter and Improving
Washington, Dec. 5.-No Florida
troops now in camp at Macon will be
sent home except those who are i'll, it
was learned upon the return to Wash
ington of Senator D. u. Fletcher, who
spent Sunday at Camp Wheeler.
Discussing the situation there, Sen
ator Fletcher said:
"I found an excellent camp at Ma
con and was surprised to see it run
ming so well, considering the short
time it has been in operation, and the
general circumstances surrounding its
construction. I think the main reason
there has been much sickness is be-
cause there was lack of proper cloth
ing, the buildings were not properly
heated, and the sanitary arrange
ments were inadequate. However,
proper clothing has been sent, the
sanitary feature is receiving careful
attention and feel that the worst is
over.
''I am sure the ninety nurses just
sent to Camp Wheeler will take care
of the situation and I look for excel
lent results immediately"

1916 AND 1917

The past year was a sad one ia
many Sank county homes. The scythe
Of the Grim Reaper was relentless and
leading citizens, pioneers, veterans,
and others were taken, regardless of
age or rank Run over the names that
you can recall and you will be sur
prised at the length of the list. Bar
abOO has suffered much. But the old
year with it's sadness and gladness is
thing of the past, and one by one
the days of the new year are going.
What of the year? It is a law of ma
ture that we are to turn from the past
as much as we can and look to the flu
ture. Let the dead past be past. 1t
should be the province Of everyone to
look with radiance, with happiness
upon each new day. They bring op
portunities for effort The coral rises
by building on the old, and although
there are deaths, distresses and dis
appointments in the human horoIoge
one must rise if there is to be growth
goodness and gladness as the result
of mindful effort.
