they should really subscribe
Moreover. there are many who
do not seem TO realize the urgent
necessity of giving TO the full limit
of their ability and even a little
beyond, if this city is to meet the
quota set for it by the treasury de-
partment as its apportionment 1t
is the function of the Liberty loan
court to investigate all these cases
and remove all chances for subter-
fuges or misunderstanding.
1t has been found possible to
make a revision in the original es-
Inmates whereby it was at first an
nounced that every property owner
would be expected to subscribe for
bonds totaling per cent of his net
worth. BY again going over the
figures representing subscriptions
made by persons who do not own
taxable property. il has been found
that they will reasonably absorb
about one-fourth of the districts
total quota On this basis, il is
now announced that persons own
ing taxable property can get by by
subscribing for bonds amounting to
only 4 per cent of their net worth.
instead of per cent, as originally
estimated. This means that a citi-
zen owning property actually worth
IS 900 should take not less than
5000 worth of bonds Many. how
ever. can do better than this. and
it will be absolutely necessary for
them to do so if the city is to main
tain its reputation for making good
on the quota asked.

have already been turned in by the

FOOD CHIEF HOOVER

London. July 23,--Austin Chamber
lain. opening a reception OF welcome
to Herbert C.. Hoover, United states
food director, today said;
History is repeating Itself. The
contemplate British army, was the
first mistaken conception of the Ger
mans Now the Americans, too, have
proved their value. We are proud to
call them brothers in arms.
MIR. Chamberlain paid tribute to the
results of the voluntary food restrtc-
tion lin the land of plenty" He said
the rich and poor were being treated
on an absolutely equal basis as re-
CARDS food He voiced confidence that
British labor will give the fullest aid
to the government in It's efforts to
solve the food problems.
Mr.. Hoover. responding to the
speeches of welcome. said America
would be fully able to export 100000
tons of foodstuffs. with less pressure
of saving than during the past year.
while Canada would be able to spare
100000 tons. He added:
"All anxieties regarding Essential
food have passed, We are now estab-
fishing food reserves against the posi-
biIity of n short harvest in 1919, The
boat menace no longer threatens the
food supply Of the allies"
The American food administrator
explained that he was here for ths
chief purpose OF deciding how best to
use the resources on hand.
Mr.. Hoover said Presidents Wilson's
message was that the American peo-
PIE are gladly willing 10 make any
sacrifice In the consumption and pro-
duction of foodstuffs in order to main
tain tile health and comfort and cour-
age of the penpIe of the allied coun-
tries"
