The story goes that Colonel Gregg

Wilson is not able to entertain the

Ready to Resume
@Cablnet Wednesday,"
Most OF the Cabinet women are
ready and willing to resume the
hospitable custom OF being at home
on Wednesdays to all who care to
call, but they aren't so keen about
undertaking to return all those calls
and one can't blame them. Mrs
Lansing, wife OF the Secretary of
state isn't quite ready to ANNOUNCE
her program yet, but is preparing
to take up at least a measure Of the
social activity which was curtailed
by the war. Mrs. Lane, wife OF the
Secretary Of the Interior, expects to
receive on Wednesday afternoons;
but her health is frall and she can
not possibly undertake the wearing
business OF making general calls.
Mrs. Houston, wife Of the Secretary
OF Agriculture, has small children
who engage much Of her attention
and Is a woman of many other ac-
tivities and Is lOath to devote too
much Of her time to making per
functory visits, although she rather
expects to resume her days at home.

Carroll county, through its banks,

ment OF $1,584,0OO Of the Victory
Loan before noon on Monday, April

given to the loan headquarters in Bal

Chairman. Frederick county did the
same thing about the same time.
Frederick county IL advertised
throughout the State as having raised
its allotment while Carroll county is
credited with but fraction or what
it raised. The figures are announced
daily from the Victory Loan head
quarters in Baltimore. Can it be that
the full subscription by Carroll county
of it's allotment of 1854 ,0O0-the
fourth largest amount of the counties

THE VICTORY LOAN-CARROLL
COUNTY ITO THE FRONT

The financial institutions of Car
roll county deserve the praise OF
every citizen for their wise and far
sighted course i'm subscribing for the
County's entire allotment of 81, 584, 900
OF the VictOry Loan for the people Of
Carroll county. liz was % courageous
net to assume the responsibility for
60 great sum, but our bankers know
the depth of the patriotism on our
County and the resources of its citi-
Gems. The Victory Notes will be
bought by the men. women and child
rem OF the County because to buy il
n patriotic duty and sensible and
provident Investment OF unsurpassed
security and financial return.
The merit OF this subscription OF
81 ,5S4 900 lies chiefly in the pride
and satisfaction 1t brings to every
resident in the knowledge that Car
roll county has taken the whole
amount the Government asked with
out any delay, without any expense,
without o. minutes interruption of
business, and without the withdrawal
OF one man. for a single second, from
his own affairs. The value of the
saving in time, energy and work by,
this action Of the Carroll county
Bankers liz large.
ut will be seen by the full page ad-
Tertisement of our banks, savings in
situations and trust companies in this
issue that every one can become q
purchaser of a Victory Note upon
terms which are more liberal than
the Advocate has observed are offer
ed elsewhere. We particularly COM
mend the suggestion that the pur-
chasers OF Victory Notes pay fer them
out of their income or earnings.
The financial institutions need ALI
their deposits to extend credit to the
merchant, the manufacturer and the
private and commercial borrower. If
these deposits are withdrawn to an
excessive degree to pay for Victory
Notes, the affairs of the community
will suffer from the inability Of the
financial institutions to make the
necessary loans for the customary re-
Guirements. In these days of I'M
exampled earnings and income, the
purchaser OF Victory Notes should
borrow the money; put up the Vic
tory Notes as collateral in the as
surance that the interest on the Vic
tory Notes will pay the interest On
The sum borrowed; and then save,
and save, and save out Of income and
Earnings, and i'm that way pay
gradually for the Victory Notes.

Only Method OF Causing Reduction Of

Mathematician suprE' sion Of

meat products is declared iy the de.
partment of agriculture TO be- the only
solution for the present situation in
which meat prices to the consumer are
so high that he is denying himself, and
in which prices for livestock specially
beef and lambs, are so loW that the
producer is losing money.
The department emphasized that
save food" signs should now be dis
regarded as TO meat, especially beef
and wheat products. Faced by the
largest wheat crop on record and with
many cattle raised in response 10 the
demand for meat production for the
army now maturing. the American peo-
pie, the department asserted, must
realize that no necessity for conserva.
ton of such foods any longer exists
A survey of the meat price situa,
ton, the department said, reveals that
the excessive retail prices now exist
ing are not justified by wholesale quo
tations. Prices TO the producers have
declined since the war; it was said
but prices paid by the consumer have
not materially lessened. The only so

BLOW UP MINE OFFICE.

Butte, Mont.-ENplosion of dyna-

conda Copper Mining company's pay
office early Sunday damaged that and
surrounding buildings in the heart of
the business district.
An iron grating was brown against
a building across the street narrowly
missing a street car heavily loaded
with miners. Damage was said not
to exceed 5000.
Windows in half II dozen nearby
stores We're shattered, but the charge,
thought by the police to have been a
dozen sticks of dynamite, was not
properly placed to do great damage to

which was dynamited in 1914 during a

Three men have been arrested and
held for investigation.
