FINANCIAL SKY is
CLEARING, GLASS

Washington, D. C.-Secretary Glass
forecasts further reduction in month
ly deficits of the treasury from the
October record and announced that on
December 1 the semi-monthly issues
of treasury certificates of Indebtedness
and tax certificates would be resumed.
While rates on call money have been
soaring and the situation in financial
centers has been the occasion of some
concern, treasury officials point with
satisfaction to the reduction of gov
eminent securities held by banking in
situations during the last five months.
In that period Mr.. Glass figures show
ed war bonds and Indebtedness certif-
icates held by financial houses drop
ped $685., 900. Meanwhile, also, the
nations debt fell to $26,210, 900, or
a ne. reduction of 1886, 100000 from its
highest mark at the end of August.
The reduction in the country's debt
resulted largely from the increase in
treasury receipts through the sales of
war materials. Decrease in current
expenditures also aided materially.
The new series of indebtedness GER
tificates to be issued will bear date of
December / and will be payable on
February 16, 1920. The interest rate
will be Az per cent. Tax certificates
to be issued at the same time, at the
same interest rate, will be payable
March Is, 1920, or on the date on
which tax installment is due.
The total amount of Indebtedness
certificates outstanding on November
l was 81 900. Tax certificates
outstanding on the same date amount.

Values of Precious Stones.

Emeralds ranked with rubies and
sapphires as the most costly gems of
the ancient world. Then diamonds
were worn in a rough state. The art
of cutting the precious white stone
was not discovered until the fifteenth
century, when the flashing brilliance
of the diamond was brought to light.
Emeralds are still fashionable. They
are rare, and good ones are becoming
rarer. Carat for carat they are as val
liable as diamonds.

THE GARDEN

What wondrous life Is this | lead,
Ripe apples drop about my head
The luscious clusters of the vine
Upon my mouth do crush their wine.
The nectarine, and curious peach,
Into my hands themselves do reach;
Stumbling on melons, as I pass,
lnsnared with flowers, ! fall on grass.
Meanwhile the mind, from pleasure less,
Withdraws into its happin ass;
The mind, that ocean where each kind
Does straight its own resemblance find;
Yet 1t creates, transcending these
Far other worlds, and other seas
Annihilating all that's made,
To a green thought in a green shade.
Here at the fountains sliding foot
Or at some fruit trees messy root.
Casting the bodys vest aside.
My soul into the boughs does glide.
There, like a bird, it sits and sings,
Then whets and claps its silver wings.
And. till prepared for longer flight.
Waves in its plumes the various light.
Such was the happy garden state.
While man there walked without a mate.
After place so pure and sweet,
What other help could yet be meet?
But twas beyond a mortal's share
To wander solitary there;
Two paradises are in one,
To live in Paradise alone
How well the skillful gardener drew
OF flowers, and herbs, this dial new.
Where, from above, the miller sun
Does through a fragrant zodiac run.
And, as 1t works, the Industrious bee
Computes its time as well as we,
How could such sweet and welcome
hours
Be reckon'd but with herbs and flowers

To Reopen Pharaoh's Mines.

Pharaoh's mines were discovered in
1912 by French explorer named Gail
liaud. He found that the mines had
been abandoned before they had been
completely exhausted. A lode of emer-
ald-bearing rock was mined and the
emeralds were found to be very large,
but poor in quality. The mine was
again abandoned. New plans to OPP
crate them on a tentative scale, at
least, are now under way.

Wheat Yield Decreases.

Rome.-The production of wheat and
rye in 1919 decreased 100000 quin-
tails below the yield of 1918 in coun-
tries in the northern hemisphere, &C,
cording to a statement issued by the
international institute of agriculture
The yield of 1918 was GAL 100000 quin,
tails, while in 1919 it was $4,000, 900
The average yield for the last ten
years was 61O,OOo,OOO, so that the de-
crease is insignificant.

MEXICAN Def IS EXPECTED
u. S. Consul Held Without Bail Be-
cause of ''Gravity of Offense.''

Washington, d. C.-The answer of
the Mexican government to the sharp
note demanding the immediate release
of William O. Jenkins, American con-
sular agent to Puebla, probably will
be delivered to the state department
at once.
A long dispatch bearing on the Jen-
kins case, it was learned, has been re-
ceived at the Mexican embassy, and
was being decided Sunday for presen-
tation to the government. While au-
thoritative information as to the atti-
tude of the Mexican government was
lacking, all indications here pointed
to technical refusal to order the re-
lease of Jenkins.
Since his arrest, it was learned, ad-
ditional charges against the American
official have been formulated, based
upon alleged evidence that he actively
assisted persons in rebelling against
the Carranza government. Payment of
a large sum of money to the rebels,
which was used by them to purchase
munitions, and acting in collision with
rebel leaders, are said to be specific
counts" in the new indictments.
What was regarded as hint of
Mexico's position in the Jenkins case
was noted in an article published by
the Mexican newspaper Excelsior, a
copy of which has reached Washing
ton. The paper stated that jenkins
second arrest was based upon charges
that he actively assisted the rebels.
The certain sum of money" of
which Jenkins is accused of delivering
to the rebels consisted of the 100000
pesos he was compelled to pay as ran
som to Federico Cordoba, the rebel
whose forces kidnapped him. The col
fusion charge is based upon the fact
that Jenkins agreed to pay the rebel
leader the ransom in order to save his
life and gain his liberty.

French Women Taken for
Wives by Allied Soldiers

Much attention has been called to
the number of American soldiers that
have married French girls, number
estimated as high as 100000. This
gives a slight idea of the wholesale
exodus Of French women as brides of
the fighting men of the allied nations,
for not only Americans but British,
colonials, Italians, Belgians and Por-
tuguese as well have carried off
French brides. The Portuguese lega-
ton says 5000 Portuguese soldiers
have contracted marriages with
French women.

BANKS MUST PAY:
TAXES ON THEIR
LIBERTY BONDS
Supreme Court Holds That
Certain Government Securi-
ties Cannot Be Deducted
for Taxation Purposes.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, March 27.-The supreme
court Thursday ruled that Liberty
bonds, owned by national banks,
may not be deducted from the value
of the banks capital stock when
fixed for taxation purposes in Ne
braska. The decision of the Ham
ilton county district court, allow
ing such deduction in the case of
the First National bank at Aurora,
is reversed. T. S. Allen, United
States district attorney, appeared
as intervenor in the case in behalf
of the federal government. The
case may be appealed to the United
States supreme court.
United States bonds are not tax
able and are properly deductible
from the assessment of which a cor
poration or bank pays a tax, the
court holds. The court rules that
the tax on the shares of bank stock
is not tax on the bank, but on the
property of the individual share
holders. In estimating the value
of the Individual shareholders stock
the aggregate value should be con-
sidered, including whatever may at
tach by reason of holdings Of gov
eminent bonds. A direct tax on
the bonds thereby is not made.
A vast amount would have been
stricken from the state tax rolls
had the decision been otherwise, it
is contended.

Lincoln, Neb., March 27.-Senate
File No. 2, the code bill, providing
for cabinet form of government
for the state of Nebraska, passed
the senate at the third reading to-
day with vote of 10 to IS.
This bill entirely revolutionizes
the civil code of the state, as under
this bill the governor and lieutenant
governor are the only state officers
to be elected by the people.
The other state officers, including
the secretary and treasurer of state,
will be appointed by the governor.
Senator Houston of Burt county
was the only member of the upper

Two Explanations.
Taylor sent up lengthy explana-
ton, viciously attacking the bill as
autocratic in the powers which it
conferred upon the governor and
personally attacking Governor Nc
Kelvie for what he termed dsta-
torial method in his handling of leg
islative questions. Hoagland's ex-
PLANTATION was confined to the state
ment that he felt the subject could
be better handled through the con-
stitutional convention and that the
legislature had not been given suffi-
cient time in which TO consider the
measure.
The bill now goes to the house,
where it is not believed serious OPP
position will be encountered 1t
groups the different state depart
ments under six heads and makes
the governor directly responsible for
their work. n
