II any American family is genuinely
entitled to the luxury Of eating liber-
ally Of poultry and eggs, that family
is the farm family. Yet the fact re-
mains that farm families are not and
have never been liberal consumers Of
either poultry or eggs.
For the whole country the average
yearly consumption Of eggs per farm
is only 1871 dozen, which would be
about 2ik dozen a week. The average
yearly consumption Of poultry per
farm is 60 head. about one bird a
week. In few states, Of course, the
average consumption runs above these
averages. The highest average con-
sumption Of eggs in any state is four
dozen per week per family, and the
highest consumption Of poultry in any
state is about three birds a week per
family.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The fin

public today by the treasury. 1t is
the history OF how the American
people paid billions In taxes, raised

tremendous pool OF credit with
which the treasury through it's
many war agencies paid the bills OF
the army and navy. the shipping
board and other government depart
ments. loaned billions to the allies
and millions to war industries, help
ed support the families of soldiers
and sailors and tided farmers over
periods OF financial stringency.
The payment into the treasury of
vast sums in war taxes and from
bond sales" said Secretary McAdoo,
"and the transformation OF our var
led and complex economic life to the
supreme task OF winning the war
have been accomplished without
shock or financial disturbances. The
credit and business structure OF the
nation remains sound and strong.
The results Of the four liberty loans
are tribute to the patriotism OF
the American people and to the eco-
nomio strength OF the nation"
For the fifteen months ending last
June 80. Secretary McAdoo estimat-
ed that the actual cost OF the war.
with allowances for the govern
ment's ordinary expenses in ordinary
times, amounted to $13,222.000,000.
Nearly half Of this. or s6,499.0 .000,-
