Three billion dollars will be the
amount Of the third liberty loan and
the rate Of interest will be four and
a quarter per cent, according to a
statement Of Secretary McAdoo pub

scriptiOns are to be accepted.
Bonds Of the third loan will moi
be convertible into any future loan
although those Of the first loar
bearing 3 per cent interest, and th'
second, bearing 4 per cent, may b,
converted into the new bonds. Tn,
maturity Of the new bonds will prob
ably be between 20 and 30 years.

ierested the people to the point Of
enthusiasm. Dirty premises are
ihghty scarce in that part Of town
nov, and Mr.. Bolich recommends that
some Ndwellers in more pretentious
districtstake a walk down there and
take a few lessons in cleaning up.
As an example Of what the street
cleaning department has been called
upon to do, Mr. Bohch cites the fact
that he has carriedtO the dump east
Of town 81 wagon loads Of tin cans
since the cleanup began. He has
had force Of % boys at work
"spearing' paper in the streets and
alleys all that time. His greatest
complaint is that many allow their
alleys to become dirty again almost
as soon as It is cleaned.
Next week the promised inspection
by the army and. city health depart
menis begins. II there is anybody
who has not attended to the clean-tI
order they will undoubtedly find I
to their material advantage to get i
done before the inspection starts, FOL
neither department has shown any
disposition to mince matters with Of

U-BOAT MENACE WAVES
French Marine Chief Says They
Are Sunk Faster Than Built.
Effectiveness Of Campaign ls Fast De-
clining Official Tells Committee
of Deputies.

Paris, May 1.-THE effectivness Of
the German submarine campaign is de-
clining. The German government Is
aware of this fact, declared George
Leygue, minister of marine, before the
naval committee OF the chamber Of
efforts to conceal 1t. He said the sit
uation was most favorable and that
the sinkings of submarines in the first
three months of 1918 through Allied
measures was greater than the number
built by the enemy.
Minister Leygue referred to the
statement made in the reichstag, on
April II, by Vice Won Capelle, German
minister of marine, in which he said
500, 900 tons OF Allied shipping were
sunk monthly. This figure, the minis,
ter said was incorrect.
1t was reached and passed in April
May and June, 1917. In July II de.
clined, and I'm November Ii fell below
400, 600, and since has diminished con,
t%inuously.
M. Laygues said that in February
March and April 1928 French steamers
and 7SS French sailing vessels passed
through the danger zone where a few
months ago losses by torpedoing had
been very heavy. Not a single ship
was sunk.
On the other hand, he said, the mum
Der OF submarines destroyed had in,
creased progressively since January in
such proportion that the effectiveness
of enemy s%quadrons cannot be main
tanned at the minimum required by the
regulations. The number of U-boats
destroyed In January, February anC
March was far greater in each month
than the number constructed in the
same month. In February and Apri
the number of submarines destroyed
was three less than the total destroyed
IN the previous three months.

The Brotherhood OF the Methodist
church held its first regular meeting
last evening. There was a good rep
resentative attendance of Methodist
men and their friends. The program
of the evening. consisted of addresses
by President Heston and Supt. May
The former spoke in a very helpful
way of the possibilities of aid to the
church through a study OF its prob
lens, through supervision of the
folks, and various other practical
lines OF service which the Brother
hood should be especially fitted to
render. Supt. May gave a similarly
inspiring talk in which he described
the great influence exerted by groups
of men somewhat similarly constitut-
ed, in recent and in past history,
such as the Y. M. G.. A. and the mems
religious orders of medieval Euro
pean times.
Officers for the year were elected,
as follows: President, w. j.. Bell;
vice presidents, to be arranged for
later; secretary. C. H. Roberts; treas
urer, A. III. Northey; chaplain, II. j.

ing's entertainment close with re.
freshments in plentiful supply. The

SMALL RETURNS
INVESTORS IN SOUTH DAKOTA
OIL CORPORATIONS GOT LIT
TIE DIVIDENDS IN 1917.

Pierre, May 14.-Secretary Hen
derson, of the state securities COM
mission, In a recent official report,
while not taking up the matter in
that light, shows how much the in
vestor in oil and mining stocks can
expect for his investments. There
were LOG companies operating in this
state which filed statements for the
year 1917, these with a capital of
49,9S9,345. The total average gain
reported by these companies was just
is per cent. Out of the 106 COM
panies 3S were cooperative cream
cries, stores and elevators, and these
reported a gain of SO per cent, which
shows about how much the other
class of companies could show up on
the percentage of the total.
There were 16 oil and mining COM
total capital of over 1000, 600 and
not one Of these companies showed a
gain and nothing has been submitted
to the department to show that any
special progress has been made in the
way of exploration.
In summarizing the situation Sec
rotary Henderson says:
From the foregoing figures ii is
amply shown that the small cooper
alive companies of the state are be-
ing conducted on a profitable basis,
This is especially true of elevator
companies" 1t is suggested that
these companies could make even a
better showing IL they had more &C
tive capital invested and did not pay
out so much for interest on borrowed
capital.
He also says: THE oil and min.
ing companies constitute one of the
serious problems before the commits
sion. The total sum Of ready money
thorwn away upon these enterprise:
annually Is a tremendous drain upor
our financial On tn;
whole the reports show that the sale
of stocks in the different enterprise!
results in much waste of money anC
in idle capital"
The report goes into many detail.
as to what different classes of in.
vestments are showing for the mon
ey invested. and is one which would
make a record every man who wants
to invest outside of Liberty bonds
ought to consider.
