McAdoo announced that the amount of
the third Liberty loan would be 3d.
000,000,000, the bonds carrying Az per
cent interest and that all oversubscrip-
tons will be accepted.
The secretary of the treasury out
lined his plan following q conference
with Representative Kitchin, chairman
Of the ways and means committee Of
the house, and will ask congress for APP
prevail.
Will Be NonconvertibIe.
Outstanding features of the third
war loan plan as announced are:
The bonds will be nonconvertible,
but bonds of the first and second war
loans may be converted into the new
Az per cent securities.
The bonds will be acceptable at par
and accrued interest in payment Of
United States inheritance taxes.
They will have the benefit Of
sinking fund of per cent per annum
during the period of the war and for
one year thereafter.
Authority to issue $4,000, 100000 in

4 proposed in new loan legislation pre-
pared for submission to congress, so
that the total amount which may be
issued is $8,166,000,000.
Congress, the secretary announced,
will be asked for authority to make adj
ditional loans to the allies during the
coming summer. The decision to make
the new bonds nonconvertible, he
said was reached in order to put an
end to the expectation of higher inter-
est rates.
Mr. McAdoo said expenditure of the
| United States and the allied govern
ments had been below estimates and
| that consequently greater loan than
| that planned was not necessary Up
until recently expectations outside of
government circles as to the new is
sue had ranged between $4,000,000,O00
and $6000,000,00O.
| In a statement issued when making
! the announcement the secretary de-
clared that the great events now
happening in France must fire the
soul of every American with new
determination to furnish all the dol
lars and all the material resources Of
America that are needed to put an end
| 70 the execrable atrocities Of German
militarism.

clared. LET us hasten 1t by assert

man who drives in from his home
in the suburb every day and then
drives over town attending to his
business affairs.
The remark was made to the motor
list who leaves his car in nearly one
place for hours every day in a side
street in front of his place of daily
toll.
well, I'll be darned!" he exclaim-
ed. 1--WE been stopping here for
months and never knew before there
was a hitching post there. The fact
is, / haven't seen hitching post
for three years. I'd forgotten all
about that former very useful article
to which horses used to be attached
by leather strap"
''The trouble is, that most of US
motorists have forgotten that horses
are still used occasionally as motive
power for passenger vehicles, even
in Iowa." he continued to soliloquise
under the stimulus of the remark of
the farmer who had driven away in
his buggy, land while we have to
know the curb stones like our front
door knobs. we never think of the
other people in buggies and never
notice a hitching post.

know that none Of them do It,"

Laviline Baths, Aug. 20, 1918.
Dear Benefactor: hurry to make
reply for the money order received
this morning, for l see that you take
pity on the poor widows who have
had the misfortune to loose their
dear husbands, and I do not know
how to properly and fully express
my thanks to you for your goodness
in taking under your protection a
poor orphan, victim of this terrible
war, which is the cause Of so many
tears, and the making of thousands
of people wearing mourning, and the
separation Of their relatives and our
dear husbands who fell in the field
of honor to protect our patriotism.
But happily our dear allies. the
Americans, came to our succor, and
are also separated from their rela-
tives, but they are real soldiers WHO
will overcome those barbarians, and
will help US to ultimate victory
again, and thank you, dear bene-
factor, and I enclose a picture Of
little Edward, who also thanks you.
Accept, sir, my best thanks.

Length Of Legs Varies.
The great variety of men under
arms in the training company makes
it the more difficult for them to make
a good showing. Men with long legs
and stride are trying to come down
to the regulation step; other men
with short legs and natural stride
like a woman in a pull back dress
are stretching themselves out in the
attempt to accomplish as many inches
as the tactics require for each step.
Some of the men take to the drill

were made without the usual tend

from merchants to professional men,

for the time and work he is devoting
