Secretary OF the Treasury McAdoo
last night wired this paper, urging
THAT the efforts for the completion OF
the Fourth Liberty Loan be redoubI-
ed in order that the Generalization
OF the enemy forces which is already
apparent, may De made complete. At
| a time when the governments of the
ICentral Powers appear to be totter-
/ ing, when their armies are beaten,
force, to realize that they will no
1Aager be permitted TO menace the
peace and safety of the civilized
world, every loyal and libarty-lOving
citizen should do his utmost toward
making this Loan successful, as its
I failure would, undoubtedIy, mean Il
prolongation of the war and the eX-
Denditure of much blood and treas
ure to make certain OF the victory
which already seems within the grasp
fUf the Allied armies.

GOVERNMENT CLERKS
ASK WAGE INCREASES
THROUGH TWO BILLS

Washington, Jan. 12.---It SEEING as
r the much maligned government
clerk is soon to come into his own
He has suffered for long time on
small wages. But now there are sew
eral bills in congress designed TO help
this financial situation
One of these measures, known as
the Heating bill. stipulates temporary
salary increases for employees making
ST. 500 or less. The increases graduate
from 5 to 80 per cent.
Another measure, known as the NO.
Ian bill, provides that no person VINO
has been In the employ OF the gov
twenty years old shall receive less
than SO per day. $50 per month or
81 ESQ per year.
Hearings are now going on before
congressional committees upon these
bills. and if seems likely that one, II
not both, will pass congress The
scale OF living has increased so much
In Washington that II is declared nee
essary for the clerks TO receive higher
wages IN order to get along.
Neither of the bills are regarded as
ideal. The Heating bill Is only for
tenn orary relief. In the case OF the
Nolan bin the clerks say that there
are many in the ranks. who, even
though they receive more than SO per
day. still need more money,
Even II both these bills pass con-
gress there is strong likelihood that
still another bill carrying q complete
reclassiflcation OF salaries will be
drawn up and presented.

Capital Becomes
Educational and
Printing Center
BY VICTOR ELLIOTT.
International News Service stan
CorresDoudeuf


Washington, Jan. la,--Unless pres
ent signs fail, one important result
of the war which will be of lasting
duration will be the making sof wash
ington the most influential publish
Ing and educational center of the Uni
ted States. This will fulfill one of
George Washington's dreams of the
capital city named In his honor.
The government printing Office is
the biggest printing plant in the
world, but since Americas entrance
into the war the capacity OF that
plant haa been hugely overtaxed. The
government has. been required to let
many printing contracts to private
firms, In spite of the fact that the
law prohibits such a practice except
in case of absolute emergency. But
the emergency has been absolute, be-
cause of the enormous volume OF pub
fishing work incident to tina war which
the government has felt called upon
to do.
New York and Boston have regard
cd themselves as the publishing cen
tiers of the Western hemisphere and
of the two New York has held the
lead. Now. however. government pub
locations are being issued at such q
tremendous rate that their prestige Is
jeopardized. In addition, many maya
zines are published here. and II Is I'M
derstood many more are to be pub
lished, some moving from other cities

Special Section for Women.
RecognizinR thc al that. vi

Recognising the fact that, with 80
many OF the men at the front and la
bo- hard to get, the management OF
the farms must fall to certain extent
on the women. and In response to a
demand from the latter that they be
afforded an opportunity to study the
practical side of farming. a special
section for women" has been incorpo-
rated IN the short cotk-se thie year.
The following subjects of special in
terest and value to women will be
taken up:
Farm dairying. fruit growing. farm
sanitation, poultry husbandry, vegeta-
bic gardening, farm crops. farm en-
cheering, wartime nutrition.
Special laboratory work will be
given with each subject Under war
time nutrition the following subjects
will be discussed: Food selection. util-
ization of milk andTcheese as a food.
the economic utilization of the hog,
the place legumes may have in the
diet cereals In the diet, the use Of
fats, the utilization and preservation
OF vegeta bies and fruits.
Women have attended the short
course in agriculture every year since
IL was inaugurated in 1907 and have
found Il well worth while. Under pres
ent conditions il is believed that the
assembling of Virginia women at the
state agricultural college to receive at
first hand the best instruction in agri-
culture and home economies is an ex-
ce,lent preparedness measure. The
courses offered the women will be
made just as practical aE those for
