PRIORITIES IN FINANCING.
United States Must, If Necessary, Alb.
sorb Capital Available.

The last annual report of Secretar,
of the Treasury McAdoo contains tn
following:
''The government must, if necessary
absorb the supply of new capital availa
BILE for investment in the United States
during the period of the war. This, il
turn, makes it essential that unnecessary
capital expenditures should be avoided
in public and private enterprises Some
form of regulation of new capital expen
ditures should be provided.
In fixing the dates and amounts of the
Liberty loan issues the secretary of the
treasury considers not only the needs
of the government, but takes into careful
consideration the business of the country
and the financial needs of the country's
business.
While no specific authority has been
conferred by law upon him to pass upon
new undertakings involving large expen-
ditures of capital, labor or material, the
secretary states that banks, corporations,
municipal and state officials have sub
mtted to him plans for new enterprises
or issues of securities and that it is APP
PoiNho thoN CHiNtu Gtdito gONtiH-
ment may count upon a full measure of
cooperation on the part of states, NUM-
cipalities, and private business, so that
no issue of state or other securities win
interfere or unduly compete with the
Liberty loan issue.
The secretary has requested the fed
eral reserve board to pass upon such
proposals as may be submitted to him
and advise whether such expenditures
of capital requiring the use of labor and
material and such issues of new securi-
ties should be undertaken. Material
and labor as well as capital are involved
and both public improvements and new
private enterprises, entirely proper and
commendable in time of peace, win, in
great measure. now be considered in the
light of and in connection with the gov
ernmental problems of finance and other
military necessities.
The secretary urges that before max
ing contracts requiring the use of labor
and material and before placing new is
sues of securities or agreeing to pur-
chase new issues cf securities the fed
eral reserve board be conferred with. |
The cooperation and ordination of |
state, municipal, and private business |
with the business of the national gov
are important to the success /
Of all and the winning of the war.

With the above words, Lillian
Russell, an unquestioned authority
on feminine attractiveness, places no
uncertain value on nice hair as a
beauty asset. Unkempt, uncared for
hair not only cannot be attractive
but is actually disgrace.
But why have ill-kept, untidy hair?
By devoting few moments regular
ly to brushing and intelligent appli-
cation of NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE,
the hair may be made to yield won
derful returns in increased personal
charm.
Dandruff is the direct cause of
more hair trouble than anything else.
The hair becomes thin, harsh, un-
even and falls out in quantities. 1t
looks dead and lifeless; there is no
luster. The scalp itches.
HERPICIDE will remove the dan
druff which is causing all the trouble.
clean the scalp, give the hair life,
snap and luxuriance. The hair stops
coming out, the itching ceases al
most at once and withal there is a
most gratifying sense of cleanliness.
To the woman who wishes to
make the most of natures gifts by
having fluffy, beautiful hair, NEW
BROS HERPICIDE is a toilet
necessity. 1t is exquisitely per-
fumed and is a delightful hair

Hurley 6, Ironwood 0.

Hurley took the initial game of
the season from Ironwood last Sun
day, defeating our neighbors E to
0. A fair sized crowd witnessed
the contest. Hurley had a twirler
on the mound, Sorenson is his
name, who had everything his own
way. Ironwood connected safely
only twice and % strike-outs went
to Sorenson's credit. Ironwood
used two pitchers, Wieland and
Noel, the former putting them over
for six innings and sending IA
Hurleyites to the bench via the
strike out route. Wieland was
pulled out i'll the sixth inning and
Noel, a southpaw, finished the
game.
In the fifth act Hurley started
things. getting one run across on
bunt, passed ball and a hit.
Four more were added in the sew

BIG DAILY IN LONDON ADMITS
THAT WE SAVED ENGLAND

LONDON-"Is it realized by the peo-
pie OF this country that America has

Estimates of German Blow

ON THE FRENCH FRONT in
CE-Uncertainty still exists as
to when the German will renew their
offensive and where their blow will
fall but whenever the interrupted bat
tie is reopened the enemy will find
various disadvantageous changes in the
situation as compared with the first
stage of the struggle that he began
March 81
For one thing, the German soldiers
dence equal to that which inspired
them at the opening of the first great
drive, now that they have seen the
promises made them of decisive
fight which was to bring a rapid
peace, fail of fu1fillment. Many Of
their best troops have been destroyed
without the armies attaining their OBJ
jectives. This has depressed the
spirits of the remainder, causing them
to doubt whether further sacrifices
may also be useless. A repetition Of
a powerful surprise attack has been
rendered almost impossible, since the
complete unity of the French, British
and American troops enables the allied
generalissimo to control the whole
front.
The allies are certainly better pre-
pared than they were before and are
watchful for whatever may be COM
ing. Thus, although the German
masses may be thrown against the al
lied front, the allied unity of COM
mand is counted upon to make pos
sible an efficient Intervention Of
forces at a propitious moment to pre-
vent any part of the line being over
whelmed. Losses of territory may be
expected in the first rush, but that
is to be counted as unimportant while
the armies continue intact.
