TO THE RED CROSS

You say you don't believe in war, You think it wrong to fight; Thousands thot like you, my friend They at the front tonight! They, too, thot it was savage To shoot and stab and kill But when country called them They only knew her will Over there on the battlefield Facing the Belching guns! They'll fight and die for Uncle Sam Our stalwart soldier sOns No matter what we may Or may not think is right Remember the boys at the front Are fighting for us tonight Some of them will suffer And some of them will die! So aid the noble Red Cross And help 1t to STAND BY! That skilfu hands and tender May soothe our woundeds' pain; Nurse them back to health and strength And send them home again! Bending o Ter the dying white robed figure stands The message breathed for Mother Saved from the sinking sands Again I say, no matter If you be pacifst, The fact remains WE ARE AT WAR And each one must assist! Our Uncle Sam will surely wn So let's protect our own, And win the right to welcome them When our boys come marching home!!!

UNITED STATES WILL MAKE
FIRST BIG WAR LOAN TO
THAT COUNTRY.
DETAILS TO Be GIVEN OUT
Amount Of Loan and Other Matters
Concerning Loan Will Be Made Pub
lie in Few Days by Secretary
McAdoo.

Washington. The first American
loan to the Allied Nations will go to
Great Britain.
The amount and other details prob
ably will be made public by Secretary
McAdoo within a few days.
Whatever the sum, the amount will
be available out of the proceeds OF
the $5,OOO,OOO, 900 bond issue soon to
be offered to the public, of which
$4,000 100000 will be loaned to the
Allies.
Announcement to this effect was
made at the treasury department after
a day crowded with, conferences be-
tween Secretary McAdoo and Federal
Reserve Board officials and American
bankers and bondholders and official
representatives of Great Britain and
France Another development was the
announcement that the size of the first
issue of bonds authorized under the
$1,000, 100000 war finance measure
will depend largely upon the immedi-
ate needs of the Allies. Reports as
to this have yet to be received in
detail.
The entire S., 900 900, 900 of author
lied bonds will not be offered in one
lump sum, according to present ten
tative plans, but probably will be call
ed for in several installments or issues.
By this course, it is believed that
financial disturbances which might re-
suit were the country called upon to
absorb the whole issue at once, will
be averted.
Details as to the amount of the first
issue, it's distribution among the Allies,
the character and terms of the bonds,
methods of disposing of them, and
other questions will engage the atten-
ton of the treasury department and
Federal Reserve Board officials during
the next ten days.
The first of these conferences began
with the visit of Lord Cun1iffe, Gov
ernor of the Bank Of England, upon
Secretary McAdoo and Governor
Harding of the Reserve Board Nego-
tiations will be conducted with view
to disposing as rapidly as possible of
details so that the bond issue may be
offered without delay.

Commission, directed by President

Secretary Houston put his plans be-

RURAL CREDITS MEASURE
PASSED LOWER HOUSE TODAY

With only two minor amendments
made by the house this morning senate
bill No. 1876, known as the rural credits
measure, passed the house with praetic-
ally no opposition. The principal amend.
ment was slight change in the designa-
tion Of water rights to be considered IN
making assessments. The original read
ing of the bill stated "water rights al
ready adjudicated' which was changed
to "water rights appurtanant to the
land shall be considered. The varions
sections of the measure were adopted in
the committee Of the whole with Repre-
sentative Burdick in the chair.
With the exception of the question Of
the indefinite postponement of Fl B
No. SCI, providing for a special election
in June, 1917, there was little discussion
in the house this morning when the ses
sion was called to order by Speaker
Stanfield at l0:30 O'Clock.
Representative Schimpff moved that
the bill be taken from the table and
considered when the question as t
whether or not the bill had not been in
definitely postponed Saturday night o.
laid on the table came up. For while
there was muddle as the record of tbs
clerk showed no vote token on indefin
ite postponement. There were various
opinions expressed as to what the state
Of the bill had been. However, aftei
the business was halted for about !!
minutes and the records searched NOR,
carefully, it was found that the bill hae
been indefinitely postopend Saturda,
night but that Sehimpff had moved Il

The members of the Joint senate and

ed upon any of them in spite Of the six
per cent limitation law

ized total $6,29S, ,433.40.
Of this amount, $2,22S,742.60 is to
be produced by the millage taxes and

present legislature has nothing to do.
Big Cut to Start.

ways and means committee had to start

eous items for which no budget request
was made were taken care Of to the ex.
tent Of 1921 ,423.40.
How these cuts were made, and what
sacrifices had to be imposed upon all
branches of state affairs in spite of
their expansion is matter Of history
