during October are $84.20 for the
800 Certificate and $4,000 for the
$1,000 Certificate. And redemption

they are redeemed.
The government is using every en-
deavor to instruct the people in the
value of Thrift and Saving, and the
present campaign will lbe of lasting
value to the people of Kentucky if it
will show people who have never been
savers in the past the way that they
may lay the foundation for future
prosperity. Montgomery county's'
quota is fixed at $4,000.

UNCLE SAM ASKS Ky 10
SAVE 81 500, 900 IN 4 MONTHS

Kentucky has a quota Of one and
one-half million dollars in the four
months campaign for the sale Of
Treasury Saving Certificates that
began September LIST, and will close
January l, 1920.
Missouri, including the City of st.
Louis, has a quota of $2,500,000,
and Arkansas has a quota Of ST.
900, 900.
The campaign in Kentucky is un-
der the direction of James b. Brown,
of Louisville, who is director of the
War Loan Organization for the
State. He has his organization per-
fected, and his Representatives are
now in various parts Of the State
'alling on the bankers, and explain
ing the advantages Of investments in
he best securities on earth-United
States Bonds.
Kentucky in all the Liberty Loan
campaigns, and in all of the war
activities, acquitted herself with
honor, and now that the government
has fixed the State participation in
this campaign at the comparatively
small sum Of $1,5OO,OOO = just five
per cent. of the amount the people
took in the last of the Liberty Loan
drives, there is no room to doubt the
result. In fact, from the ready re-
Spouse already made it appears GER
tain the State will exceed its quota
long before the year has reached its
end.
In certain counties Of Kentucky,
here tobacco is the principal crop,
md where the returns will not be in
for some time, the Certificates are
being pledged to be taken up at a
later date.
The Treasury Savings Certificates
are in reality government bonds Of
the same type Of the Victory Liberty
Notes. They possess an advantage
over the Liberty Bonds in that they
can never go below par, and may be
redeemed at any time, simply by
giving ten days. notice. In effect they
are Uncle Sans ten-day notes.
These certificates draw four per

 IN FOOD PRICES First Decline Since War Is Half of l Per Cent. From
 Increase of 8S. STEAKS ARE A
 BIT CHEAPER Sugar and Potatoes Soaring Wheat Guarantee Keeps
 Up High Costs.

Washington. July 25.-'F'or the first time since the European war began food prices in the United States, as a whole, are on the decline. This de cline. however, is exceedingly slight. and reflects the general tendency of all prices to hold.
 Official figures from the Depart mont of Labor show that the cost Of living fell off one-half of 1 per cent. in June as compared with May. The June prices this year were, however. 14 per cent. higher than those for June. 1918. The June prices were only 1 per cent. of those of December 1918, when the high cost of living reached its peak.
 Economists in washintgon who have watched the price situation look for no considerable drop in the cost of all foods until the wheat guar autee expires. They reason that the price of wheat Is sustaining feed prices and consequently food prices. When the wheat guarantee comes off next December the old law of supply and demand will theoretically be fully restoref Until this time they look for prices as a whole to be mantain- ed some food products going down and others up in prices.
 Thirteen articeis were cheaper in June than they were in May. Cabbage declined 20 per cent; butter, per cent: chuck roast. per cent: rib roast. plate beef and bananas, per cent each; sirloin steak, round steak and lamb, per cent, each; hens, ? per cent: pork chops, cornflakes and baked beans, 1 per cent. each.
 Flour. rolled oats. cream of wheat, canned corn, canned peas and sugar were the same prices in June as in May
 Articles which increased in price in June were: Potatoes. IS oer cent: prunes, per cent; onions and cof- fee. per cent, each; lard and crisco, evaporated milk, o1eomargarine, corn meal and raisins per cent, each; bacon, ham, fresh milk, bread, eggs, nacaroni, navy beans. canned toma- toes and oranges, l per cent, each; canned salmon, nut margarine, cheese and tea increased less than five-tenths of 1 per cent.
 In the year period onions increased 133 per cent; prunes. 53 per cent; coffee, Al per cent: potatoes, 31 per cent; cheese, 2s per cent; eggs. 26 per cent; butter, 24 per cent; lard. 32 per cent; sugar, 16 per cent: milk, 10 per cent, ana r!Our, lZ per cent Cornmea, decreased 6 per cent; chuck roast and plate boiling beef each decreased per cent, and navy beans, 31 per cent, during the year period.
 Since 1913 the cost of food has ad- Nanced SS per cent. During this six year period the following articles in creased 100 per cent. or over: Sugar. 100 per cent; pork chops and ham. 1o3 per cent. each; bacon. 107 per cent: potatoes; flour. 127 per cent; lard, 154 per cent.
 Based on the average price for the year 1913 as 100, the retail price in dex number for all articles of food combined for the United States on May IS. 1919, was 1s5, and on June 15. 1919. it was 1s4, a percentage de- crease of slightly less than one-half of 1 per cent.

qu1red to serve it's purpose is not adapted to making close connections Tor other points than those named beyond New York
 The whole question of the more ex- tensive use of the Hell Gate Bridge Route derives added importance from the fact that the United States Rail- road Administration is now utilizing the Pennsylvania Station in New ork City, not only for the trains of that System, but also for those of the Iehig'h Valley and Baltimore and Ohio Railroads well, thus creating the possibility of a much wider range Of close connections between New England and points beyond New ork. While it is doubtless true that the railroads will, before many months, be returned to private con- trol-indeed, President Wilson has specifically stated that this would be done by January 1st-there is no reason to believe that this will result in the busting of the Lehigh Valley and Baltimore and Ohio trains from the Pennsylvania's New York ter minal. On the contrary, officials of that road have gone publicly on record to the effect that they wei come the trains of other railroads in Pennsylvania, Station, so long as their own are not crowded out and in view c1 thls fact the people of New Eng land may regard the present arrange ment not only as permanent, but az one not unlikely to be considerably developed in the future
 A large number of through trains are now being operated daily in and out of the Pennsylvania Station, at New York over three railroads, to and from the middle section of the country and Western, Southwestern and Gouthern points. Still others are run during the winter tourist season 10 provide fast schedules for the re- sorts of Florida. Georgia and the Carolhas. With none of these trains are through service or direct con- necions, to and from New Ensland. furnished under the arrangements at present in force. New England trav- eiers, going and returning, are in all instances obliged to cross the most congested portion of New York City, between Grand Central Station and the Pennsylvania Station, and In many cases. are obliged to wait sev- eral hours before proceeding

This is es- pec1ally true in view of the fact that Director General Hines has, in sev- eral Of his recent public utterances, declared it to be his intention to utilize the remainder of the period of Government operation in bringing about, as nearly as practicable, the restoration of, or if possible, an im- rroVement upon, the formerly exist Ing conditions under which the rail- roads, when operated as commercial enterprises. were obliged to consider the convenience and desires of their customers.
 This whole question is one of hrst importance to all of New Eng land, but especially to that Southern portion for which New York City is naturally, and in many cases practi- eally the only, gateway to all the ether portions of the country which lie on the Western side of the Hud- son River.

Pool Europe'S Needs In Credit And Material:
 Pool Our Resources
MUST BE SPECIAL INSTRUMENTALITY SET UP IN FORM OF GREAT CREDIT CORPORATION
 TO HANDLE REQUIREMENTS OF ALL THE NATIONS

Solution of the problem of SUD- plying European needs should not be undertaken governmental means" said MT. Alexander. Tt should be carried out with private capital, not government funds Nevertheless, the necessary measures should be organ ized and administered on a semi public basis and along lines that will have the support and approval of the government of the United States. The time is past for the United States government to finance our Allies in Europe as it did throughout our par ticipation in the war; there are plenty of domestic problems for attention to engross the full fiscal policy and activities of the government"
 Mir. Alexander pointed out that un- less a means by which America and Europe could work together in solv- ing the problem unsettled business conditions in Europe will still grow worse and inevitably extend to the United States
 The organization proposed for dealing with Europe was necessary, he said, from a selfish point of view of American interest in order to con- serve Americas markets and avert possible industrial depression. Unless such steps were taken. MT. Alexander believed the world might be drawn into unsound conditions America would be liable to see serious dis placements in its business structure that is, great prosperity in some lines and great Impressions in others and ultimately a depression of the whole business structure and possibly a col lapse, the weaker elements pulling down the stronger.

 BUILDS MODEL
 TOWN FOR HELP

In common with hundreds of large manufacturing concerns throughout the country the Pennsylvania Rubber company has, for the past two years, faced a serious shortage of housing facilities for it's workmen.
 The remarkable growth of the makers of Vacuum Cup Tires, has brought a steadily increasing army of expert workmen to the town with tho result that houses were soon at premium. The Rubber Company was quick to realize that 1t would be necessary to take upon themselves the necessity of furnishing suitable homes. Accordingly, they purchased approximately one hundred and twenty acres imme diately south of the plant, upon which they are erect ing modern homes. These homes are not of the type commonly known as factory houses" but are modern commo dious residences of stucco and trick, and are sold to the workmen on such extremely liberal terms that they are being snapped up eagerly as soon as erected. Twelve have al ready been completed, and are now occupied Thirty-t three more are in the course Of construction and will be raaIy for occupancy not later than November. Streets are being graded and improved, and it is within the present plans to continue until q minimum colony of six hundred hous- es has been completed, set down in the midst of one of the finest indus trial developments in the country containing community center, athletic park, school houses and fine streets
