FARMERS COULD
PURCHASE ENTIRE
U.S.. VICTORY LOAN
Earnings for 1918 Estimated
at $4,000, 900, 900 by
Treasury Department..

The farmers of the United States
alone could subscribe the entire
amount of 0O0,000,000 to be asked
for in the Victory Loan which is to
be opened by the government April
81. Figures given out by the treasury
department show that the earnings
of American farmers for 1918 totalled
more than $4,000, 100000.
Ability of the American people to
meet the obligations Of it's government
is shown through figures issued by the
treasury department showing the earn
ing power of the nation in 1918 to have
been in excess of $73,000,000,000 1t
would have taken less than two days
earnings of the American people to
pay all the interest charges on all the
Liberty Bonds outstanding during that
year.
There is far more gold back of a
United States government bond than
that standing behind bonds of any OF
the others of the allied nations.
Americas total wealth is estimated at
$3.50, 900, 100000. The part OF the
worlds monetary stock held by this
country is $3,079, 100000, an increase
of s1.192 100000 since the beginning
of the war.

PAINT PROTECTION
AND ITS ECONOMY.

The preservation of structural ma
terlals, which may be obtained through
the application of paint, constitutes
most vital means of furthering the con
seryation of our natural resources. 1t
is, moreover, the most economical
method of sustaining the appearance
and general upkeep of any commu-
nifty.
A structure coated with sheets of In
dia rubber would not be as well protect
cd from decay as structure coated
with a good oil paint. This Is due 10
the fact that sheet OF rubber is not
so durable or as waterproof as thih
dried film of paint. The latter mate
rial when applied dries to continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles OF metallic, wear resisting
pigments. A square foot or such a
film upon a wooden surface COSTS less
than a penny, yet 1t will beautify anu
nrotect a dollars worth of SURFACE Tor
many years. This Is a low rate OF IN
surance.
Dwellings, barns, outbuildings, Sheds
posts, fences, stock enclosures, wagons
implements, windmills and other struc-
lures. whether of wood, iron or cement
should be preserved, through the use
Of mint. from rapid decay. High grade
noint may be used successfully for oil
such purposes. ColOred paints VIII be
found the most seviceable, the colorine
natter in the paint adding from two
20 three years to the life OF the coating

 The police have collected a verita- ble arsenal of weapons since the riot irl.g. Every hour a score or more of negroes are hustled into police sta tions and deprived of revoIvers, dag gers and razors. But arms and am- intuition still seemed to be plentiful
 To start the third day Of warfare, Patrolman Walter Sullivan was shot, probably fatally, by q negro whom he was searching in a vacant lot. As Sullivan fell, his partner. John Real, shot the negro dead. During the night 15 other policemen were hit by bullets and one or two may die.
 According to police figures, 15 ne groes and 12 whites have been killed since the riotlng began.
 Adjutant General Dickson, after making a tour of the danger zone early today, reported the situation much improved compared with yes- terday. He said the most serious sit uation confronting the police is in the Stock Yard District.
 One more victim was added to the toll of deaths caused by injuries re- ceived in the race riots. Berger Od- man. white, 21 years old. an employe of the Chicago Transport Company was shot in the abdomen in a fight with negroes last night, dying this morning.
 Nearly fifteen hundred negro em- ployes of the city were laid off by of ficial order, owing to the riots. Many of these were employed in street re- pair work By official order nine municipal p1ayerounds in or adjacent to the racial war zone was closed. Not more than five per cent. of the negro clerks, inspectors and janftors employed at the City Hall reported for work, and most of those who did ap- pear were told to go home and stay there until further notice.
 Negro chauffeurs, clerks and car the fullest protection by Postmaster Carlile. under whose Jurisdiction are several hundred negroes.
 The government will not submit to any interference with the handling or the distributing of the mails the post master said.

 ADMISSION
 OF EVIDENCE

Mount Clemens, Mich, July 30 - There are two leading schools of anarchy, the individualistic and the communistic. according to Prof. Will jam A. Dunning of Columbia Univer- sity, testifying in Henry Ford's mill lion dollar libel suit against the Chi cago Daily Tribune. Professor Dun- ming, who appeared yesterday as a witness for the plaintiff was cross examined today by Elliott c. Steven son, senior counsel for the defend- ant.
 In the course of his testimony, Professor Dunning remarked that there were many anarchists who could not read.
 Neither can MT. Ford" said Att torney Stevenson.
 "Oh. no, MT. Stevenson, that is un- council for MT. Ford.
 At the same moment Attorney AL fred J. Murphy. also for Mir. Ford, was on his feet and everybody was talking at once.
 Your honor, we object" said MT. Murphy. MT. Ford was suffering from hay fever"
 "Mr. Ford said he could not read, didn't he?" MT. Stevenson's voice rose above the others.
 we insist that 1t be stricken out" persisted MT. Murphy.
 Judge Tucker ended the confusion by instructing the Tribune lawyer to reserve his comment for final argu- ment.

She recently brought divorce proceedings, alleging cruelty, but this matter has not been tried in the Superior court.

CQNI RiDUTIONS TO FUND SLOW;
 ISSUE APPEAL

Subscriptions to the American Le- gion Building fund were increased to s1,5SO today by the latest but the fund is not booming fast enough to suit the committee fin charge of the drive. Justice George w. Wheeler when asked this morning for his opinion upon the progress of the drive for the American Legion fund replied:
 "rhe subscriptions are coming in pretty slowly and in a number of cases for less than we had expected. !. The list Of subscribers to the United War Fund Campaign was upwards of 1.6O0. We sent out letters to each of these. So far only 3i have sent in their subscriptions. We shall jog their memories again and hope for better results from now on.
 In the war time the support of our war activities was very general and generous. In peace times a conn paratively few men and women sup port the philanthropic and charita- ble projects of our city and these public objects which we put through. And because we knew this. we had expectei that about one-fourth of the subscribers to this United War Fund would give to the Legion fund but the indications are that not over one-fifth will subscribe. That will make 1t necessary Tor the patriotic citizens who are still grateful to our boys for what they've done for us and for America to give more gener- ously. As soon this situation Is understood we look for substantial improvement both in the number of subscribers and in the amount of the gifts.
 We have put mp today placards in all of our Banks and Trust Compan nies that they will receive subscriptions and we hope that everyone who feels an interest in this club house for the Legion will give to the fund no matter how small the gift The more the su -grribers. the greater the tribute to our men"

CHICAGO EXPERIENCES
 3RD NIGHT OF TERROR:
 DEATH LIST TOTAL 27

(Contfnued from Page One.)
 Tenth, from central Illinois. rushed toward Chicago today 10 add their rifles and machin, guns to the po- tential army already here.
 The police strove to clear the riot ter and early last night apparently succeeded. only to find that the mob spirit had spread to other regions. On the West Side whites atta cked negroes, and in one case partly burned the corpse of q victim with gasoline. On the North Side fighting proceeded for several hours. and in the residential districts known as woodlawn and Englewood on the far South Side fierce fighting took place.
 As the overworked police force dashed to those quarters. several miles from the center of the war, the smolderlng flames of anarchy burst forth anew in the Black Belt. A pa tro1 wagon crashed into an automo- bile filled with men and fight fol. lowed that caused the probable fatal injury of three men and the wound ing of several others. The woundd were taken to Providence hospital, a negro institution. and q crowd of whites attacked the inhrmary, caus- ing considerable damage.
 During the rest of the night out breaks occurred. and although only one fatality was reported from the nights orgy of hatred. the number of severely hurt was greater than for Monday night, probably a dozen suffering fatal hurts.
 The whites again seemed to be the more aggressive. the negroes having been converted to peace by saner members of their race, or cowed by the beatings sustained by scores. Sleeping car porters accepted an of- fer of the company to house them rather than go home, and the jazz band concert at the municipal pier was called off because the negro mu- sicfans refused 10 perform.
 owing 10 the street car strike tho comparatively few white rioters in the total population could not SO handily get together last night. and no large mobs invaded the black belt. It was mostly guerilla warfare, but exceed inEly bitter. In some cases men would lie hidden along a boulevard and fire on passing cars occupied by members of the opposite race. In others a few whites would assault q building owned by negroes in the midst of a white uciEhborhood. drag gins forth a victim to a beating.
 The car strike also helped the ne g-ocs. as a favorite form of attack on the first night of the disorder was to enter a street car and drag a negro
