and it is understood in the view of Sec retary McAdoo, we may retain for years of financial supremacy.
 The presumption is that after the war
 is ended vast amounts of foreign secur- ities will be placed in the American mar.
 lSet and probably listed upon the stock
 exchange. Should this be done and
 should the stock exchange be able to
 maintain that valuable liquid character
 which is looked upon as one of the most
 important assets of the nation then there
 is no doubt that there will follow enor-
 nous deposits of money in the United
 States.
 Great Britain has for years been the
 chief depository of foreign funds, and it is in part for that reason that foreign ex- change is based upon the British pound
 sterling.
 One of the leading authorities in the , financial district, in speaking this morn ing of conditions which are likely to de- velop in the Emitted States immediately i after the war. said that there appeared to him to be no doubt that foreign se- curities in large amounts would be or fered to American investors and proba- bly, will be listed upon the stock ex- change where an instant market would be found for them and where a price would be established. First of all he spoke >of national securities. These he believed will come in large amounts to the United States for investment. Un- doubtedly they will be listed upon the stock exchange and will bear a like re- lation to that market to that which our
 government bond issues have so long held. In the next place there is likely to be an enormous offering of foreign securities representing industrial and
 commercial activities and these which
 are regarded as prime and have passed the rigid scrutiny of the governors ot the stock exchange are also likely to be listed among the securities perlnis-
 sable to be dealt in upon the floor ot the exchange.

A Young Mnther,s Mistake

Marianna Wheeler, in the Peoples Home
 Journal
 young mother will make many mis- takes in bringing up the first baby, but overlooking is probably her most frequent and serious blunder. Usually the mother wishes her baby to gain in weight at the expense of everything else. She has the mistaken idea that her baby must be fat to be healthy, and she takes the greatest pride in comparing her child with her friends to see if he weighs a few pounds more. If he weighs less than her neighbor's baby, she is in the depths of despair and will proceed to overfeed until really serious condition of the stomach may result When she does this, she not only loses all she might have gained, but the child's digest i've organs, weakened by a first attack of indigestion, will not stand continued indiscretions.
 It is right and very desirable for the baby to gain in weight, but to do this he must digest what is given to him. A gair of four ounces each week is far better than a gain of eight ounces one week and loss during the following week. or possibly no gain at all The mother should be contented with slow and steady gain and not try to have the baby put on flesh at the expense of his general health If the baby is fed from the breast, his normal gain in weight will, as rule. be greater than if he is bottle fed, for he is getting the food nature intended him to have. Usual ly breast fed babies gain from six to eight ounces weekly for the first few months at least, after that the gain is a little less and corresponds more nearly t, that of a. bottle fed child. A baby does not digest cows milk as easily as

WHO STARTED WAR 1.-THE KA|SER?" SEE kULTUR AT LOEWS
Strange Part Played by Woman in Greatest Crime of Ages Graphically
 Portrayed on Screen

Who started the world war? The Kali ser9 The German junkers? Very likely both. Yet the strange part played by woman in the greatest crime of the ages is graphically portrayed in the William Fox photodrama, "Kultur, in which Gladys Brockwen will appear at Loew's Bijou theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
 They say that behind every great event in history it is possible to find a woman. So in "Kultur" it is shown that when the Serbian Danilo slew the Austrian archduke on that fateful June day in 1914, and thereby plunged the world into sorrow and bloodshed the beautiful Coun- tess Griselda (Gladys BrockwelD, favor ite of the aged Emperor Franz Josef. was the person who instigated the crime.
 The archdpke heir to the Austrian throne, is jealous of the influence of the, countess over the Emperor and seeks to have her removed from Vienna. But instead of banishing the old monarch's mistress, he himself is slain through her machinations.
 In the meantime, tine countess has lost her heart to young French secret service agent and the scenes that fol- low are replete with plotting, intrigue and war preparations in the Ieuton cap itals.
 When the Frenchman is trapped by German officials and faces death as q spy. Griselda comes to his rescue, aids him to escape, renovnces her former con nections with the secret diplomacy of the Teutons and redeems herself by giving her life for her lover and for the cause of democracy.
 If you wish to know the part a woman played in starting the great war, to- setber with the intrigues and private sea andals of the imperial courts at Der lin and Vienna, see Gladys Brockwell in .Kultur" at Loew's Bijou theatre Mon aav Tuesday and Wednesday.

 If there had been opportunity at the meeting of the American bankers at Den yer recently to set forth the outlook as it is forecasted by some of our ablest bankers and was clearly forecasted by Paul Warberg just after lie completed his service as one of the governors of the Federal Reserve board at Washing ton, it would have been stated that after the war foreign securities, national, in- dustrial, commercial and railroad would be offered for sale in the United States chiefly through the medium of the stock exchange and furthermore that very large deposits of funds would be kept in the American banks by foreigners and, in ad- dition, that these influences would go far towards establishing dollar exchange so that it will command as much favor as pound sterling exchange.

 ly instalments. A sensible suggestion made at the right time. This will make much easier the payment of eight bil- lions of war taxes to be collected the coming year. This stupendous amount is ten times larger than the entire income of the government from all sources in a pre-war year, but the appalling total bill will and can be met and the easiest way in on the instalment plan.

his is the best answer to those who question the wisdom of making purchases on instalments. In the ultimate analy- sis of the matter. this is the method pursued by the largest business concerns, for few transactions of magnitude are paid in gross by 8 single payment. Many a young man starting in life with good prospects has established his household by making it's purchases on the install ment plan. Many man i'll business is able to open establishment by mak- ing purchases on credit, replenishing his stock as his business increases and as his credit is improved.

MONEY TO COME HERE

Money in vast amounts is likely to be deposited in the United States just as before the war the men of commerce., of industry and of agriculture in other parts Of the world kept balances in Great Bri- tain for the purpose of facilitating their international trade. Very few balances made by the citizens of other nations were maintained by the banks of the United States. This will be changed inn mediately after the war if the view now taken be correct. The result will be that foreign exchange will be largely in terms of dollars and although it is nconceiv- able that foreign exchange in the terms of pounds sterling will be completely sup. planted by American dollar-exchange, nevertheless dollar-exchange will be- greatly enlarged and this will facilitate those world trade movements which our manufacturers and exporters are now contemplating.
 The stock exchange is today the most fluid stock market in the world. It is also impersonal and that condition had

LIBERTY-BOND COUPONS

The interest coupons of Liberty
Loan Bonds are payable at any Fed
eral reserve bank or Subtreasury and
at the Treasury Department in Wash
ington, and any national bank which
is a general depositary of Govern
ment funds is required to cash these
coupons without charge.
1t is believed by the Treasury De-
partment that no bank or trust COM
pany which is depositary of the
proceeds Of Liberty Bonds or Treas
ury certificates of indebtedness will
make charge for collecting the cou-
pons, paying cash to. the holder. The
service rendered by banking institu-
tions in cashing these interest cou-
pons is substantial one, but it is
hoped that these depositaries will per-
form the service without charge as a
patriotic duty.

the United States during January and
February. Notice Of their arrival will
be given in advance.
The services Of these officials in
making Que income-tax returns will
be given without cost to all persons

however, will not relieve citizens Of
the duty imposed upon them to file
their returns not later than March l..
Questions as to when a farmer is
to make his return of the value of
crops and stock, the relation Of these
things to income, etc, and as to en-

FALSE STATEMENTS
ARE HARMFUL

The finances Of the whole country,
public as well as private, by force Of
the national needs at this crisis are
subordinated and adjusted to the
great Liberty Loan. Financing by
railroads or other great industries
and all lesser private financing must
be considered primarily in relation to
the Government loans.
The needs of private interests, the
money necessities Of the business of
the country as well as that of the
Government itself are all considered
by the Secretary Of the Treasury in
fixing the amount and date of each
issue of Liberty Loan Bonds, and the
effect Of the issue of bonds on ali
other securities and all other loans is
given due consideration.
The dissemination, therefore, of un-
true information, even when made in
honest belief and with good intention,
is harmful, and Secretary McAdoo on
December 20 issued the following
strong statement:
"Thc report that the next issue of
Liberty Bonds will be $8,000,000, 900
at 4 " per cent and on March Is, 1918,
is wholly unfoundcd. | wish I could
make the patriotic newspaper men Of
America realize how mischevious and
hurtful to the interests Of the coun-
try such speculative statements are.
When decision has been reached
about the next Liberty Loan, it will
be officially announced. Meanwhile,
all other statements and rumors may
be disregarded."

"Two bits" is the old term, dating
back to the early days of the country,
for a quarter of a dollar, and is still
used in the South and West. Every
patriotic American now wants "to do
his bit"; the members of these clubs
are carrying out this idea finely in
doing their "two bits every day. 1t
is hoped that "Two Bits Day" clubs
will be formed all over the country in
the great war-savings campaign.

DISTRICT NEEDS A
REAL REPRESENTATIVE

Mark J. Woolley is a candidate for
the republican nomination for con-
gress from this district and his cam
didacy should receive the consideration
of every man in the district who has
its interests at heart. The district
needs man as it's representative who
has the ability to ably present any
measure that may come up in which
we are interested, to defend the rights
of the citizens Of his constituency and
who is loyal to the country in which he
lives. Mr.. Woolley is not peanut
politician who seeks this place of hon.
or, but a man of wide experience,
executive ability and general know
ledge who will give the people of the
Sixth district the best that is in him in
managing their affairs at the seat of
government at Washington. The op-
portunity is presented to nominate and
elect man who will be a credit to the
district, one of the greatest i'll COM
mercial wealth, manufacturing and in
dustry in the northwest, and it is hoped
that this fact will outweigh personal
friendship or any other influence that
might tend to sway the voters to any
candidate who cannot and doe not come
up to the mark in ability and loyalty.
