America is Spending Morey
Faster Than Any of the
Other Nations in the
War.
BREAKING ALL RECORDS
Fourth Liberty Loan Finds This Ma
tion's Expense Account Fifty
nine Millions Per
Day.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
WASHINGTON. Sept. 26.-Ameri-
cas- war debt will reach the $4,000
100000 mark the day she reaches
her fourth Liberty loan. With daily
expenditures ranging close to $780,
100000, this months war cost will
break all records. The nations bur-
den for September is placed at
Sits, 100000, which, according to
unofficial figures, exceeds the month
ly expenditures OF any other bellig-
erent.
Although Germany's debt has been
shrouded with some mystery, her
four years OF war have piled up a
debt said to be $39,000,0 100000. This
includes maintenance of her armies
and running her government as well.
The United States, therefore, has
spent nearly half as much in eighteen
months as Germany has in forty
nine months. But this government,
of course, has aided her associates
in the war to the extent of $6,500,-
600, 900 in actual cash advances and
has rendered them credits Of $780,
100000 more.
The burden of expense borne by
America in September exceeds the
lOI august
and September, 1917.
There is surplus besides. which
is equal to the cost of running the
government in any month OF any
pre-war year, treasury department
statistics reveal.

WASHINGTON, Sept 26.-Cash
bond buyers in most cities will be
able to get bonds of the fourth Liber
ty loan next week. treasury officials

ments OF bonds of the fourth issue

WHEAT PRICE
WILL STAY UP
Farmers Must Not Become Panieky
and Sell Below tho Govern
mcnt Price
Fixed.

That farmers will get the full price
for wheat, fixed by the government
by exerting a little patience and not
getting panicky. was the Information
in a telegram received this morning
by J. F. Elder food administrator
for Lee county from ]. F. Deems
state food administrator. The tele
gram said:
Enlarged demands by General
Pershing for material resulting from
the program on the western front has
necessitated a temporary diversion OF
grain ships to his services. This
temporarily curtails the wheat move
ment from the seaboard and has filed
our seaboard and terminal elevators
and thus checks the movement OF
grain.
It is reported that some farmers
have become panicky and are sell.
ing wheat at less than government
price. There is no occasion for this
If holders will have little patience
the wheat will all be moved and
full price secured by every grower.

Simple Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, common liquid arvcn
from any drug store (this is all you will
need), apply it at night when retiring,
use enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all. of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve, and entirely destroy, every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly and your.
hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel hundred
times better,

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The New

today said:
While it was accepted in Wall
street as a foregone conclusion that
the president would turn a deaf ear
to the peace pleas of the central en-
pires, trading in today's session OF
the securities market was governed
to a large extent by the fact that
a reply was not as yet forthcoming.
At the outset there was a firm
tone to the list, with particularly
good demand for the shipping group.
Stock prices reacted in the late
afternoon, with especial weakness in
the oil group. Bonds were active
and strong, for the most part.
