VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN TO
FINISH WAR.

Notwithstanding the fact that all
the details concerning the Victory
Libery Loan have not been announced
by Secretary Glass of the United
States treasury department., it is GER
tain that the campaign for subscrip-
tions to the bonds will open the latter
part of April, or about he 21st.
The loan is to raise enough money
to enable the government to finish the
big war job by footing the bills, bring
ing home the boys from over seas and
readjusting affairs to a peace basis as
quickly possible.
The Victory bill enacted by -on-
gress authorizing the Liberty Loan,
IS so broad in its essential provisions
as to enable the secretary of thetreas-
ury to offer most attractive bonds or
notes for the American people to in
vest their money in. But the amount
of the loan, the rate of interest and
the kind of notes or bonds to be offer
ed are matters that are to be announ-
ced later
The important matter at hand at
this time, however, is for the people
of the Tenth Federal Reserve Dist
riot, who have prospered during the
war as never before to get their finan-
ces in shape to invest in Victory Bonds
to the limit of their ability and thus
help get the war job finished and out
of the way.

THE NEW ERA MOVEMENT

denominations is planning this year a
big advance along all inees of work,
called the New Era Movement. It's
aim is to get the whole church behond
its whole task in five year expanding

of the war is to be carried into all the
activities of the church. Extensive
preparations have been made by
prayer, study and organization, lead
ing toward simultaneous campaign
adherents and friends of the church
will be asked to subscribe for the work
of the church for the coming year
The running expense budget is figured
in round numbers at $25, 1000 900. The

work in France, Italy and Belgium,
including fund for returning soldiers
and sailors, is figured at SIG, 600, 600
This is little more than one half the

WILL PAY oNE-HALF THE COST

The State Highway Commission
viii, for the present, pay out Of the
federal funds fifty per cent of the en-
tire costs of the roads of Kansas, now
designated for federal aid. This fifty
per cent shall not exceed $4,000 per
mile; or in other words, federal aid Of
one-half the entire cost of consrtuc-
ton will be given, but the government
will not pay over $4,000 per mile.
Since there are So ,O0O, goo of fed
eral funds available for the next thirty
months in Kansas, the commission
feels that the several counties should
be given an extra impetus to begin
work.
1t should be remembered that this
fifty per cent aid includes all grading,
culverts and bridges of whatsoever
kind and the commission also calls at
tention of the people to the fact that
this aid viii apply to dirt roads as well
as to roads of more permanent char
cater in any qart of the state.
The government has made this very
heavy appropriation in order to abb
sorb all the labor that is returning to
the business affairs of life and enable
the industrial situation to adjust it
self without causing a great shock in
equalizing living conditions. The
highway commission urges the people
to prepare at once and make Kansas

The following kinds of roads will

gravel, Waterford macadam, bitum-
Gus macadam, concrete, bitumous con
crete, and brick on a concrete base.
Any of these classes of roads, whether
located in the system already laid out,
will be given the fifty per cent aid.

ready to answer all questions and will
furnish blank petitions to any parties

EQUALITY Of TRADE
CONDITIONS IS NEXT
BIG PARIS PROBLEM
APPLICATION OF THIRD OF
WILSON'S IA POINTS
UNDERTAKEN.

Paris, Feb. l9.-Wlth the sub
iect OF the league OF nations now
out OF the way for some time to
come, the biggest problem before the
peace cnference at present is be
lieved to be the rcadjustment OF the
worlds financial and economic re-
lations. Three organizations have
been created to deal with these
subjects. Some OF their conclu-
sions are ready for consideration as
soon as the conference is willing to
receive the reports, although the
las; body created in this connection
dates back only to Feb. 8.
lhis body is the supreme eco
nomic council, aud "a work is OF
the greatest immediate importance.
1t has been charged temporarily,
during the armistice period, to
handle only such pressing questions
as the disposition to be made OF
shipping, the abatement OF the
blockade, which has been holding
back not only the enemy's industry,
but that of neutrals; the distribu-
zion of raw materials, and finally,
those financial questions that re-
quire instant attention.
This council, which includes some
Ct the ablest financial and business
minds of America and Europe, has
firmly but quietly and without ex-
citing animosity been supplanting
the military officials who had been
dealing with the same subjects,
OF more permanent value is eX-
pected to be the work OF two other
organizations created by the peace
conference. These are the economic
drafting commission and the inan-
cial drafting commission. These in
Glide distinguished fnancierS iroH
all the entente countries.
The economc drafting commits
sion already has its report before
the peace conference awaiting action
by that body. 1t has undertaken to
make a practical application of the
third OF President Wilson's fourteen
points, namely, that declaring for
the removal as far as possible of
all economic barriers and the estab-
lishment of an equality of trade con-
/ ditions among all of the nations
/ consenting 20 the peace and asso-
ciating themselves for its mainte-
nance. The problem involves the
right OF nations to discriminate be
tween friends and foes in their trade
relations and the proprety OF con-
tinuing the many special trade treat
ie, with their difierential tariffs
The final drafting commission viii
have to meet the insiStent demand
I & some OF the European nations ior
the pooling OF all the credits, debts
and resources OF the nations a
proposition which seems certain tc
be strongly resisted by the Ameri-
can representatives.
Of scarcely secondary importance
is the task OF c'taning information
as to the financial resources, pres
ent and prospective, OF the countries
in order that the commission or
reparation may complete its work
which is based on the idea, one o
the delegates intimated, OF making
tte enemy pay all he can safely bC
made to pay.
