ping 10 Eliminated.

The station agent Mt Highland wired
his division superintendent -four cars
strawberries to Chicago" The super
intendent added these four cars to fig
ures received from other station
agents, and wired the total to the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton.
The agent at Highland wondered
why anyone should want to know
about cars of strawberries moving to
Chicago. A few years ago his Uncle
Henry had "gone broke" raising
strawberries because he couldn't sell
them for enoush to pay his expenses.
While he was wondering about this,
messages were coming to Washington
from all railroads and soon word was
flashed back to points in producing sec
tions showing that total of 40 cars of
Strawberries were on the way to Chi
cago, and that comparatively few ship
ments were going to other important
markets.
Shipment Diverted.
''Forty cars will swamp the Chicago
market tomorrow" said strawberry
man, who received the wire from
washington, and he reached for the
telephone. Messages went to railroad
officials to divert certain cars headed
for Chicago to other cities where
strawberries were not abundant.
Next day Chicago received only 20
cars of Strawberries instead of the
40 that would have gone there except
for the market news service of the
bureau of markets. Chicago could
use 20 cars but not 40, and because
the other 20 cars went to different
that gave them profit on their ship
ments.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington, May 6.-Analysis OF
Liberty Loan reports showed that
probably 100000 persons bought
bonds in the campaign, which closed
Saturday midnight = 100000 more
than In the second loan. and 12.50o.-
900 more than In the first.

treasury now believes the actual total,
which may run to $4,000. 100000, will
not be definitely known until May 10.
Whatever the money total" said
treasury statement, 1.-The loan just
closed probably is the most successful
ever floated by any nation. The mar
yelous distribution of the Third Lib
erty loan indicates that one out OF
every six persons in the United States
may have participated in this loan"
Banks resources, it was pointed out,
have been drawn on comparatively lit
tie, and the prospects for future loans
are brighter as a consequence. An
added reason for jubilation is the in
dication that the government bond
buying habit is becoming stronger
among people OF small means.
The table OF subscriptions by dis
tricts is as follows:
New York, 100000; Chicago. 2.49S..
600; Cleveland, 1.561,079; Philadel-
phia. 1.200,000; Boston. 100000; San

Secretary McAdoo gave out this
statement:
"Ehe people of the United States
may well felictate themselves upon
the triumphant success of the Third
Liberty loan. 1t is most heartening
manifestation of their patriotism and
OF their inflexible determination to
support our gallant army and navy
until victorious decision for America
Is achieved.
II should like to thank the thou
sands of men and women throughout
the country, every class of our citizen
ship, for their effective assistance
and cooperation in this great victory
behind the lines, without which vic
tory on the front cannot be achieved.
II earnestly hope that everyone who
has bought Liberty bonds will try to
keep them for the period of the war
at least. The slogan now should be
Keep your Liberty bonds No one
does his share fully If he merely buys
bond and then sells it Immediately
hAlow mar on the market
IF each and every purchaser keeps
his Liberty bonds he helps to protect
the credit of the government by main
tanning the market for the bonds at
par. which is very helpful thing in
war time"

Mae Marsh, usually seen in charm
ing situations in her screen plays, is
disclosed in any number of tense mo-
ments in her newest Goldwyn Pic
ture, Money Mad" which comes to
the Republic Theatre tomorrow. But
of course they are relieved by smiles
of her own particular kind.
One of the most novel as well as
dramatic moments in the new play
occurs at a seance around table in
the home of Elsie Dean (played by
Mae Marsh). Her stepfather is under
the spell of a Hindu and is also prey
ed upon by a beautiful woman of
doubtful reputation. They arrange a
session at the big table, prevailing
upon the Hindu to go into a trance
and giving Elsie and her sweetheart
permission to join them.
The young man has misgivings, but
Elsie, with the enthusiasm of youth,
is glad to be allowed to take part in
the proceedings. The five seat them
selves, their heads touching as they
rest lightly on the table. Then the
Hindu begins his incantations, grow
ing more and more impassioned. The
weird light on his face, his strange
words and the solmen silence of ev-
eryone cause Elsie to break into a
giggle The Hindu gives her dag
ger glance, which prompts the girl
to burst into laughter. This enrages

RULES FOR HUNTERS;
MUST OBSERVE LAWS
To Avoid Violations. Shooting
Must Be Confined To Time
1t Is Not Prohibited
FEDERAL AND STATE LAW

In making their plans TO shoot mi
gratory waterfowl hunters viii do well
to note the dates of open seasons I'M
der both the Federal aud State laws.
This caution by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture results from
evidence of confusion in the minds of
some sportsmen in regard TO the open
ing of the season when the dates con-
flict under State and Federal laws.
The Federal law and regulations
limit the seasons before and after
which no one may shoot these birds.
If State law opens the season later
or closes il earlier than the dates pre-
scribed by the Federal regulations,
the season in that State is just so
much further shortened. Special at
tention is called to the fact that the
Federal regulations do not authorize
any one to hunt or kill migratory
birds contrary to the State law.
In certain States; as for example.
Illinois. Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Missouri and South Dakota, the
season for shooting migratory water
fowl under the State law would open
prior to the date of opening under the
Federal regulations were it not for the
fact that the Federal regulations SUI
