LIBERTY BOND BUYERS
SETTLE BEFORE GOING
By I. A. FLEMING.

Very many buyers Of liberty bonds
on the installment plan are leaving
the city. their work under the gov
ernment at an end.
The great majority of the clerks
who have received notice Of their re-
tirement have made settlement with
the bankers with whom they did busi-
ness in liberty bonds. the banks
usually accepting the bonds at mar
ket prices. less interest due. and re-
paying to the buyers the amount OF
money which they paid in.
Many clerks who have left the city
have written back from their homes
asking for the amount due on their
bonds, and frequently have paid off
the sum. plus postage. etc. and had
their bonds delivered by registered
mail.
others who have left the city and
who feel that they cannot continue
settlements by accepting the amount
they paid In less interest, and their
bonds are sold. at the market prce:
Wants 80 1-3 Per Cent Of Credits.
All banks holding proceeds of Hber-
ty loan bonds on deposit to the cerdit
of the Treasury Department have
been called to remit 33 1-3 per cent
today.
The last installment on the fourth
liberty loan is not payable until jan
uary 80. and there are two payments
due before that date. Fourth liberty
loan money was largely expended be.
fore it was received, SO was the 1917
tax receipts, and SO also will be the
proceeds from the fifth or victory
loan; through anticipation.
1t is estimated that close to 5000,
000,0 900 has been paid into the Treas
ury on account of the fourth loan
Secretary McAdoo announces that the
proceeds of the loan have been ex-
hausted and that the payments yet
to be made will do little more than
take care of certificates maturing
Borrowing on tax certificates is not
considered expedient. for the reason
that no one knows just how the rev.
enue bill will finally reach the Pres
ident.
Five per cent monthly of the gross
resources of the banks is the esti-
mate of the needs of the Treasury
in temporary financing prior to the
next loan fotation.

CHICAGO, November 29.-Decided
strength developed in the corn mar
ket today, largely as result of signs
of holding policy on the part of
farmers. 1ntimations of broad relief
plans for food shortage in Europe
tended further to emphasize bullish
sentiment. On the bulge, however,
selling increased. owing to reports
that one of the largest distilleries in
the country would close down tonight.
Opening prices, which varied from un-
changed to H off, with December
1.241s to 1.24A and January 1.24A to
1.251s, were followed by material up
tarns all around. .
Seaboard demand put firmness into
oats. After opening u off to " up,
with January 70B to IT'S, the market
scored a sharp advance.
Weakness in the hog market pulled
down provisions. Supplies of hogs on
sale here were unusually heavy.

PRIMARY IN WYOMING
Ry Review Leased Wlre)


 CHEYENNE, Wyo, Aug. 20.-The early returns in today's primary cleo tion indicated that Robert D. Carey was nominated for governor on the re- publican ticket by a big majority over M. B. Camplin and L. R. A. Condit. On the democratic ticket William B. Ross, supported by prohibition advo- cates is leading Frank L. Houx, in- cumbent, for governor. The vote for Ross in northern Wyoming was strong despite the fact that Houx lives in Cody
 There was a lively contest on the democratic ticket for the nomination for United States senator. The sup orters of John E. Osborn claimed his nomination early tonight over James W. Fisher and ". W. Sproul. Senator Francis E. Warren and Congressman Frank W. Mondell had no opposition on the republican ticket.
 The vote early today was light, but increased in the afternoon. The re- publican vote cast over the state was approximately three times as large as the democratic vote.

JACKSON, Miss, Aug 2O-Returns from the central and southern portions of the state showed representative F.. P Harrison running far ahead of Sen. James K. Vardaman in the democratic primary.
 E. F. Noel, a former governor was third.
 Vardaman lost his home city, Jack son, and was beaten in his ward, 121 to 2S. Warren county, in which Vicks- burg is situated, gave Harrison, 1r23S; Vardaman, 104.
 Politicians expressed the belief that President Wilson's letter stating that he could not but regard Vardaman's election as a condemnation of my ad- ministration by the people O. MississiD- pi," had a strong bearing on the vOte.
 Both the other candidates put en- phasis on loyalty and patriotism. Sen. ator Vardaman denied there was any question of his loyalty. Vardaman headquarters tonight insisted the rote from the northern section Of the state al least would make a second primary necessary.

Quiet With Americans

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE VESLE FRONT, Aug. 20 iBy the Associated Press)-The op- erations of the Germans between Soissons and Rheims since the French began their offensive north west of Soissons have been character ized by slightly increased use of artil- iery and a decrease in aerial activity. There have been nc alterations of any importance in positions along the Vesle front.
 The Americans carried out raids last night near Bazoches. The operations were successful. One oft he prisoners taken gave infoTmatiOns to the Americans concerning the German units along that part of the line. The Germans are still using their artillery against the French and Americans and are also continuing to send over gas projectiles.
 It is assumed that the reduction in the aerial activity of the German army is due to the dispatch of some of their squadirOns to the battle zone northwest of Soissons. as it is con sidered unlikely that the Germans underestimate the operations there.
 The belief prevails in army circles that unless the French are checked the line may swing from the pivot near SOissons to the plateau from which the allied position would render the German holdings south of the Aisne untennable, except at an enor- nous cost.
 The nature of the German artillery fire would apparently indicate a sta bilized line north of the Vesle. but no permanent trenches have yet been discovered, which tends to support the theory that the enemy intends to re- cross the Aisne. Meanwhile the Ger man line is being subjected to almost constant artillery shelling by the Americans and French.
 Yesterday the enemy put down a heavy fire on the outposts, lines Of communications and trenches on a considerable portion o the Foul sec tor, apparently with the intention Of making a raid. The Germans were held off by the American fire.

VARDANAN SEEMS HOUSE COMMITTEE TO BE DEFEATEDUNADLE TO AGREE
cRy RevIew Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, Aug 20-The house
 ways and means committee after an
 an-day discussion of administrative
 provisions and other details of the
 SS,O0O .OOO, GOO revenue bill, was unable
 to reach a final agreement on the de tails of the income and excess profits
 tax schedules. Chairman Kitchin
 conceded that it was doubtful if the
 bill could be reported to the house
 by the committee by next Monday. He announced, however, that there is no question whatever of the bill rais- ing the total of SS,000, 900, zoo sought.
 Mir Kitchin announced that Secre- tary McAdoo in his latest letter agreeS to the plan of dividing business into groups for purposes of deduction of pre-war earnings but that a maximum F per cent deducation which the com mittee had proposed to give to mining and kindred hazardous enterprises was too great and that 10 per cent was more qeuitabl The committee in all probability will write into the bill division of corporations and other business enterprises into two groups for deduction purposes in the war profits tax on the basis of pre-war earnings. These groups probably will be financial and transportation con- cerns. including all public utilities, S per cent deduction and manufacturing. mining, gas and oil well and other miscellaneous businesses 10 per cent deduction.
 Chairman Kitchin made this state ment:
 ''The committee has been discussing administrative regulations in the bill not affecting the rates at all We adopted a provision for a zoard which will draft legislative matters, the board to be composed of two members. one to be appointed by the speaker of the house and the other by the vice president as the presiding head of the senate. We have takn no furthr ac- tion as to earned and unearned in comes, but have asked the treasury department to work out plan for ad- this differential of 3 per cent against unearned incomes, or which the committee reached a tenta- tive agreement the other day.
 We want the treasury to work out a plan for allocation and for deduc- ton of credits and other technical de- tails of an unearned income differen- tial plan. It will be a per cent diff but whether it will be, as a result, a normal income tax of 12 and l5 per cent, the former for earned and the latter for unearned or 10 and l3 per cent to preserve the 10 per cent normal the committee heretofore has agreed on, I cannot say.
 The only main problem left is that of excess profits and we will try to agree on that tomorrow. We may fin ally pass on the bill Friday, but it is not at all certain"
