COUNTRY IS READY
FOR OPENING Of THE
FOURTH LOAN CAMPAIGN
Secretary MeAdoo Returns to Desk
and Prepares for Next Bond
Drive.

Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo
has returned to his duties In Wash
ington after vacation of two months
in the mountains west along the Pa.
cific Coast, and at White Sulphur
Springs, Va. He spent the greater
part Of his first day at the Treasury
Department. President Wilson went
over from the White House alone to-
ward 6 o'clock and joined the Secre-
tary, there. and the two engaged in
long conference over pending ques-
tons Of war finance and Federal ad-
ADMINISTRATION of railroads.
While at the Treasury Department,
Secretary McAdoo met newspaper
men and told them he had been won
derfully benefited by his rest since
the close Of the last Liberty Bond
campaign. and that he came back to
work feeling better in every way
than he had since he was boy and
tished with a pin.
The Secretary said that his first
duty now was to take up exhaustively
the whole general subject OF taxation.
He will meet with the Ways and
Means Committee, go over estimates
OF moneys required and discuss with
the committee various forms of taxa
ton and the different fields OF sup
port for the heavy rates that the ext
gencies Of war required should be
imposed.
Secretary McAdoo expressed full
reliance on the loyal sentiment of
business men and the income earn
ers throughout the country. SO long
as the manhood Of the United States
is driving back the Germans, the PEG.
pie at home, he said would put up
the money to help them.
He was not prepared to say what
the size Of the next bond issue will
be, nor could he give any idea until
he had had time to examine the prog
ress that had been made by the Ways
and Means Committee in arranging
the next tax bill.
He had been furnished no reason
to modify the estimates he had made
month or more ago, was without
definite information as to how far
the committee had been able to ad.
vance the tax line up to the mark set
in the estimates, he said.
Just as soon az the work of the
committee was completed, and the
volume Of money to be provided by
taxation could be determined, the
Secretary said he would announce
the amount and the terms of the next
bond issue Although no assurance
was given, there was no intimation
in the secretary's statement that any
change in the interest rate was con-
templated.
The financial condition OF the coun.
try, McAdoo said. was never more
promising for the sale Of bonds by
the Government than It Is now, from
every means of information available,
either through official channels or
those of banking and private bust.

That was some drive which Marshal

Aisne.
Never for a moment did the Hun.

1t was asworld-thriiling exhibition OF
Allied valor, stimulated by typical
Yankee punch.
1t gave the Crown Prince his most
decisive defeat of the war. 1t set the

but we can, every mothers son OF us,
take part in this coming drive. We
can make our dollars fight for us. We
can show the world at large, our boys

America is in this fight to the limit.
And If our loyalty is genuine, If our
patriotism is simon pure, if our sense
of duty is thoroughly alive we will dc

We will save as they struggle, lend

And we will buy early. in order that
the war will be over quickly and our
boys over there be brought back over

GRASSHOPPERS
STILL ABUNDANT
Copyright Registered. is1s

Farmers bothered with grasshoppers
should continue to fight them by u.s.
ing the poison bran mash just as if
the drv weather had not been broken.
The damage done is not so apparent
now as when there was only little
green vegetation but they are eating
as much, if not more, than previously.
Many farmers are intending to sow
wheat late this fall to escape grass
hopper injury. This is not advisable,
says G.. G. Hamilton of the Extension
Service of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture, since many of
the grasshOppers were late in hatch
ing this year and they will be numer-
Gus until cold weather to do consider
able damage to the wheat. Plan on
poisoning them about the time or
just before the wheat lis sown. One
or two applications of the poison bran
mash should be sufficient to reduce
their number so there will be no in
jury to the wheat as it is coming up.
ures are delayed until the hoppers
start damaging the wheat, continued
applications may be necessary; and
while the hoppers are being poisoned
they are also eating the young wheat.
If the poisoning is done properly
and over any considerable area there
is small chance for the grasshoppers
to migrate into the protected places
and do damage. On the University
farm more than 90 per cent Of the
hoppers are killed where the poison is
applied, and the difference between the
protected and unprotected fields is
very striking.
The grasshoppers will begin To lay
their eggs before long and should be
poisoned before they do this. If they
are not poisoned, however, the places
where the eggs are laid should be not
cd and the soil diskcd or plowed late
this fall or early next spring. Dis
turbing the egg capsules and allowing
the freezing and thawing Of winter to
act upon them will go long way to-
ward controlling the grasshoppers
next year, says Mr.. Hamilton.
