FOR FOURTH ISSUE
Of LIBERTY BONDS


Washington June 27-Another
bond bill, authorizing eight billion
dollars of Adlerty binds in addition
to all heretofore authorized was
framed today by the house ways and
means committee, in preparatin for
the next issue expected in October,
and to provide for a subsequent issue
when necessary, Authorization Is out
standing for $4,000, 100000 in bonds
and the next issue probably will be
around $G,OOO,00O,0O0.
Besides authorizing $4,000, 900, 900
more bonds for domestic purposes, the
bill, which was approved by the com
mittee for immediate report to the
house, would authorize 81, 1000, 600
more for loans to the allies, increas-
ing the total provided for this pur-
pose from $500, 100000 to $1,000
600, 900 In transmitting the tenta-
tive draft Secretary McAdoo stated
that advances to the allies for July,
August and September had been esti-
mated at 100000 900 monthly and
added:
Loans to the allies have fallen con-
siderably below that figure and the
additional appropriation would, ]
hope. carry us though early winter"
early enactment, (of the bill sub
mitted) would put the treasury In p
position TO make plans beforehand
for the Fourth Liberty Loan in the
fall" said Mr. McAdoo. This author
ization is greater than would he is
sued in the fourth loan but if the
practice which was adopted success
fully in the third loan of making al
lotmonts in fun upon all over-sub-
scriptions is followed it will be neces-
sary to have q substantial margin to
cover any possible over-subscription.' '
Under the new bin only banks and
trust companies which are qualified
government repositories would be al
lowed to take subscriptions for future
loans. Mr. McAdoo stated that fail
ure of soma banks which had taken
deposits for Nloans had created great
hardships in some individual cases
and he desired to confine future fis-
cal operations of the treasury to the
government despositaries.

ully effective until juno 80, 1919,
the eleven Inillion dollar emergency
agricultural appropriation bill was re-
ported lat, ssaisy 20 the senate The
present plan Is to call it up after the
army bill is disposed of and a bitter

The prohibition amendment offered
by senator Norris of Nebraska as u

titled spirits and the manufacture of
wine OF the removal of liquors now
held in bond after June 80, 1919. The
manufacture of beer would be stopped
three months after passage of the
bill.
The amendment was approved by
the committee at a three hour ses-
sion during which opponents made
futile efforts to have it amended so
as to permit the manufacture and
sale of beer for six and then four
months after enactment. Efforts to
have the committee recommend pas
sage of prohibition legislation in a
separate measure also were unsuccess-
full.
Extensive Hearings Were Held.
Extensive hearings on the question
of prohibition during the war We're

was opposed and approved by high

Chairman Hurley and Bainbridge

Secretary Daniels disagreed with
the view of shipping board officials

advocate of prohibition, but at the
request of the committee, said that

GARDINER NURSE
70 you want to Keep Our District
Nurse in Gardiner? It's LIN "a youI

The above states the case for the
Gardiner Distric, Nurse Association.
No earnest association or person could
think of thrusting lesser need for
ward, among the imperative war
needs: but to be able 70 fight 10 be
able TO work, to be able TO give. we
must nave health. During 1917, the
District Nurse, under the direction Of
our physicians, made 1870 visits to $50
suffering persons. 142 of these visits
were to mothers and newborn infants.
What would the condition of the sick
and suffering have been without these
visits, without the skill which only ex-
perlence and a tirSt-rate hospital
training can give? What will happen
during 1915 il we cannot. during ill
ess and danger count on such visits?
The gifts of generous and constant
friends Of the Association carried us
through 19l, without our usual canvas
of the town for funds. Now, however,
in the absolute needs Of this tremen-
don. hour, many Of these gifts tnot
alb have of necessity been cut down or
omitted. The only way of carrying
the work through the coming year Will
be 10y cooperation of the entire city,
and u general canvas or funds is
therefore being undertaken, under the
able leadership Of Mrs. Charles c.
Lawrence.
We feel confident Of tile response.
Gardiner is not the city to give up
such work as that of the district
nurse, even in war time Bat it is only
by taking hold AL together that the
work can he carried on: once more,
then, its up to US.
