K FOUR BILLION IN YEAR
Actual Disbursements for War
Purposes Amounted in Year
to $780, 2s,OOO
(By United press)

Washington, July 12.-(By Ralph
Couch) --Wars, present, past and fu-
ture, have cost the United States
nearly four billion dollars in the fis-
cal year ending July /, the treasury
department records show. Seventy
five cents out of each dollar Of the
taxpayers money went into bills
arising from war or preparation for
war.
Other nations are spending as
great or even greater percentages of
their incomes for war. This explains
why the people are bringing pressure
upon their government to accept Har-
ding's invitation to take part in dis
armament conference.
Taxes collected totaled $5,115,-
$4,000, while disbursements for
war purposes amounted to 1886,
928,000, without taking into account
millions paid out in pensions by the
pension bureau, the war risk insur-
ance bureau, and scores Of other ex-
penditurcs not generally classified as
war conducting branches Of the gov
eminent.

INDIVIDUAL ORDERS ARE
LIMITED AT 500 POUNDS
Land Clearing Association
Urges Farmers to Use This
Cheaper Explosive

Three carloads of picric acid have
been allotted to !Beltramil county, to
be used for land clearing purposes.
This allotment is Beltraani county's
share of the $4,000 pounds of pcric
acid which has just been allotted to
the Department of Agriculture, Uni
yersity Farm, to be used for land
clearing purposes. The distribution
eff this material will be handled by
the division of agricultural engineer
ing and agricultural extension divi-
sion The initial allotment has been
made to the various counties on the
basis of farms and the percentage OF
land clea1ling in the county. A limit
ed amount of this material will be
left for reallotment to those counties
that use up their original allotment
first. ST.. N
The picric acid will BIO shipped
from Sparta, Wis, and will cost the
farmers seven cents plus freight and
local charges. No shipments will be
made in less than carload lots and
the material will come already cart
ridged and ,boxedt in 100 pounds
boxes. No orders will be accepted for
less than 100 pounds. Orders, there
fore, must be for 100 pounds as the
