& The Comptroller Of the Currency
.1as made an interesting statement Of
the part Of the national banks play
ID in the three Liberty Loans. q i
He reports that s6,000,O0O,O0O, a
little more than half of the aggre-
gate Of the loans, passed through ma
,tional bank channels. By far the
greater part of this was absorbed by
Individual subscribers. On June 20
only about s4OO,OOO,0O0 of Liberty
bonds, constituting less than 3 per
cent Of their assets, were held by
national banks. At the same time
the national bank loans on Liberty
bonds were only $457, 100000, or 21a
per cent Of their assets.
These figures are taken by the.
Treasury Department to indicate
that Liberty bonds have been taken
largely by individual investors and
are being held by them.
The Comptroller of the Currency
aas no Jurisdiction over and makes
10 reference to the banks of the
country other than the national
banks, but it is believed that an i'm
yestigation would show that most of
the other banks were equally active
n the loans.
Secretary McAdoo, in speaking of
the work of the banks for the var.
:ous loans, made no distinction be-
tween national and other banks in
oraising their efficient assistance
and cooperation, and he has express
ID the hope and belief that in the
coming loan they will continue the
policy which has been Of such trem-
,ndous service to the Treasury and
she country. !
1t is we'll here, however, to quote
'urther from Secretary MeAdoo's
'tatement regarding the banks.
"The loan must have the support
If the people of America. The sup
port of the banks, great as their
support is, and welcome as it is, and
splendid as it has been, is not enough
alone to-~earrY burden :: = ::
The. only true way to finance this
war is to sell the Liberty bonds to
the people of the United States. The
more people who buy $50 bonds, 500
''onds, $500 bonds, the better it is
eor America and the more discourage
ng it is for our enemies

"HAM AND" FOR THE WAR.

The National Ham and Bacon Show
of home cured products which will
be installed at the National Swine
Show and Exposition September 30th
to October 5th, at Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, promises to interest Fathers
and Mothers, who have. boys in the
Army, in every county in the Nation:
Liberal premiums are offered for the
harms SD sanda~ bacon to be placed .on ex-
hibition, and the exhibitors are ask
ed to donate their exhibits which
will be, sold at auction during the
National Swine Show and Exposition,
and the proceeds sent to the Red
Cross County Organizations from
which the Exhibits originate.
The object of this show is to help
the boys in France by helping the
Red Cross. The eyes of the world
are turned to the wonderful Red
Cross Organizations num-
bers for help and likewise countless
numbers that they may give with
the assurance that it will all be used
for the relief of suffering and the
saving of precious lives. 1t is very
probable that when the hams and
bacons are sold that they will again
be donated to the Red Cross to be
sent to the boys "over there" for
Christmas.
The Red Cross organizations in
many counties are now busy secur-
ing exhibits of home cured hams and
'>acon for The National Show, expect
ing that they will realize a tidy sum
from their effort. Quick action along
this line is advisable before the
choicest hams which have been saved
for harvest and threshing time are
used. This is an opportunity for the
swine producers of the Nation to
have a part in one of the many big
things that are being done to help
win the war
Recently in London, Mr.. Hoover
made the statement that the in
crease in the production Of swine in
this country was going to make it
possible to supply the meat products
necessary not only in this nation but
for our Allies. The swine producers
Of this nation are behind increased
meat production to the limit, and
the National Swine Show and Expo
sition is a part of this program. 1t
is conducted under the management
of the National Swine Growers AS
sociation, and the Ham and Bacon
| show promises to be a real feature
of this swine industry exposition.

MARINE MASCOT.
Mexican Ant. Eater That Eats Most
ANYTHING But Ants.

Jimmy, the ant-eater," mascot of
the U. S. marines in France, just won't
eat ants.
He'll eat anything but ants although
once in while the cook slips it over
on him by camouflaging insects in
scraps of bread. OF course, Jimmy
thinks he's eating raisin bread-but
what's the difference?
Jimmy became attached to the ma
rines at Vera Cruz, more than two
years ago, and since then has led an
adventuresome life. When the sea
soldiers went overseas he went along.
He greatly puzzles the French poilu
with his choice of foods. He eats all
the scraps-even cigar and cigarette
butts don't go amiss.
In short, he eats anything and
everything but ants.

Garbage Used as Fuel.
New York SUM

Austin, Texas, has solved the prob
lem of garbage disposal in way that
is not only sanitary but profitable.
Forty of the leading citizens formed a
company and made a contract to re-
move all the city's refuse and garbage.
This is taken to factory, where all
-inflammabe objects, such as bot
ties. iron and tin cans, are removed
What is left is ground, mixed. with
ground coal slack, steam and creosote
and moulded into bricks weighing two
pounds each. The bricks sell at $3.50
a thousand.
The University of Texas analyst
tested the bricks for heat producing
qualities and found that where oak
gave 5000 heat units the garbage
bricks gave 10000. They burn equally

GREAT AIR FLEET.
lnsuperable Obstacles Pointed Out by
Aircraft Board.

In a statement issued by Howard +
Coffin, chairman of the aircraft pro
duction board. is the following;
In discussing the accomplishments
of the air service in the contamination
of the army program, ii will be well
to point out the impossibility of GER
tain proposals enthusiastically and
persistently put forward by word of
mouth and in the press. We have
seen and heard much of the proposal
of 100000 airplanes to be provided by
the United States within the next
year. In country where one great
industry produces 100000 motor cars
per year, the fabrication of 100000
planes might seem easy, but actual
figures based upon three years of
practical experience in the war show
that there are now between 40 and so
men of the auxiliary services requir-
ed for each active machine at the
front. If this same ratio should be
adhered to in our service, it would
mean that some 4,0o0,00 men would
be required in our aeronautical de-
partment on foreign soil between our
ports of debarkaton and the lighting
front
Even though this number of men
could be reduced by so per cent by
increased efficiency and Standardized
ton. the number required is still stag
gering. Consider, also, the overseas
problem as related to
only and without reference
to personnel and it's maintenance. The
of finished planes. pro-
perly Grated, with the necessary
spares, accessories and equipment is
in itself serious problem, in view
of the situation in ship tonnage
