WASHINGTON, d. C.-Indication
of a widespread spirit of unrest and
dissatisfaction among the farmers OF

structure is considered by govern
ment officials to be revealed In more
than 10000 replies to QUESTIONABLE

were summarized in report prepar-

senate postoffice committee today by
James I. Blakeslee, fourth assistant
postmaster general. The views of the
farmers were obtained by the broad
casting of 100000 copies OF cues
tionnaire throughout the agricultural
states asking for suggestions whereby
the postoffice department might aid
in cutting down the cost OF living.

''High profits taken by middlemen

LIBERTY BONDS HIT
new Low RECORD
DEFLATION PROCESS BRINGS
HEAVY SELLING OF ALL
GOVERNMENT ISSUES.

NEW YORK.-The stern measures
adopted by the Federal Reserve Board
to debate values and prices inflated
by the war has developed into Sc
rious back-kick for holders of the gov
ernment's war paper. Liberty bonds
are coming on the market in such ire
mendous volume that yesterday
touched the lowest prices at which
they have ever sold. In two other
instances former records were equal
ed.
Although the bonds have, as gen
eral rule, sold considerably below par
since their issuance it has not been
until the last month that such sharp
drop developed. This has been brought
about by the fact that the rediscount
rate has been raised to 51a per
cent for Liberties, which makes a
rate of 615, and in some cases I
per cent, charged bank customers
with unpaid balances on their LIB
erty bonds. In addititon-and this
is probably the crux of the entire
situation-the banks have been COM
PEELED to complete the drawing in OF
their credits demanded, to notify bor--
rowers on Liberty bond collateral
that the loans must be paid off at
maturity, and cannot be renewed.

SPEND Sl25,OOO,OOO
TO DRIVE BACK SEA
HOLLAND STARTS BIG JOB IN
ZUYDER ZEE. TO RECLAIM
3 GREAT TRACT.

THE HAGUE.-Work is to begin
this year on the retaining Of the
Zuyder Zee, one of the worlds great
est engineering projects, by which 1t
is proposed to restore to Holland
within 35 years what was once hers
but was taken away by the storms of
many centuries.
When the work is finished not only
the original land will be restored but
many thousands of acres which have
been beneath the sea will be ready
for cultivation.
It is now believed the cost will be
we'll in excess of 1925, 100000. The
work is to be done and paid for by
the state through rental of the
land reclaimed, and it is expected the
scheme will pay for itself within a few
years and thereafter yield a hand
some revenue.
The total amount of land to be
reclaimed will be 827 square miles,
which will constitute a twelfth
province of Holland, capable of sup
porting a population of 100000. The
engineering work is well under way.
Tempests Drive the Sea.
Centuries ago, at the beginning
of the Christian era when the RO-
mans had their settlements in Hol-
land, much of the space now occu--
pied by the Zuyder Zee was land and
the south part of the present sea
was a lake called Flevo. North
west tempests swept the lake. One
large, shallow body of water-the
Zuyder Zee-was formed.
The towns on it's banks throve as
the merchantmen came into. their
ports. But. as ships became larger
and of deeper draft traffic was d.
verified to deeper seas, leaving the
once famous towns on the zuyder,s
shores mere fishing villages, which
they are now, while Amsterdam's
commerce came through canal
leading direct to the North sea.

While there are many cases of in

Influenza is very ancient disease.

and other diseases. Each of these
has it's distinctive symptoms, but all
of them possess characteristic in COM
mon, and even today physicians often
find it difficult to make certain dl-

oped.
The history of influenza epidemic is
well established since the fifth cen
