Deep Slashes Made
In Big War Debt.
Treasury Cuts Large
Sum off Principal;
Bonds Retired.

WASHINGTON,-The total pub
lie debt of the United States amounts
to approximately $22,o57, 373,89l, &C
cording to the statements of the U. S.
Treasury. With the exception of about
ST. 100000, this debt is directly at
tributable to the war. Since the war
debt, however, was at its peak, on
August 81, 1919, the Treasury has
reduced the total public debt by 49,
63o,757.
Within the next four years the
Treasury must make provisions for
retiring about $6,0OO,0D,OOO of the
gross debt, for during that period
that amount will fall due. These in.

COAL SUPPLY IS
SLOWLY FALLING
Production Increases but
Consumption Still far
Ahead.

WASHINGTON-Dr. George Otis
Smith, director of the United States
geological survey, says that loadings
at the coal mines have been increasing
at the rate of 100000 tons per week
The production and consumption of
bituminous coal are far apart and the
sad fact must be faced that there is a
lost production of at least 100000
tons of anthracite that cannot be made
up if those mines should open i'm
mediately. The actual status of the
country's coal stocks at the present
moment is something no one knows.
Last March two government depart
ments, interior and commerce, CO.
operated in making an inventory OF
commercial stocks of anthracite and
bituminous coal, so that when the coal
strike began the public was fortunate
ly in possession of authoritative facts
as of March l, with reliable estimate
for April l. Since then, while the
geological survey has issued its weekly
statement of coal production, there
has been little that is better than bold
conjecture regarding current con.
sumption and the consequent drafts on
coal stocks.

sued by the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, United States Department Of
Agriculture. This figure exceeds tho
normal amount of tuberculin test;na
by several thousand. of all the cattle
about 3K per cent of tuberculous
cattle.
The removal of such animals from
herds otherwise healthy is graduate
bringing about better health AMONG
farm live stock, safer milk supplies
and many economic benefits. The
popularity of tuberculosis eradication
is evidenced by the length of the list
of herds waiting to be tested. AT the
end of June there were applications
on file for the testing of $500 herds
containing more than half a million
cattle.

Politics Is Premier
Washinton Issue.
Congress Keeps one Eye
Cooked on Fall
Election.

WASHINGTON,-A joint confer
ence of House and senate leaders is
expected very shortly, Washington
newspaper comment agrees that the
campaign and election day are every
body's mind and calculation. Success
at the polls in November overshadows
every other consideration. Candidates
for seats in the next Congress want
to win.
The congressional card is in a state
of confusion. Congress sitting thru
October is not at present among the
suggestions. Which items, therefore,
should be marked "must?" Which
should be postponed until the short
session or left as legacy to the next
Congress A conference with these
questions before it will have business
of so much Importance to transact
its sessions will for the time mon
opolize the spotlight.

SENATE SPENDS
LONGEST DAY
Session Officially Con-
tinues from April 70
To Aug. z.

WASHINGTON,-"The longest

end in the United States Senate on
August 2. 1t was on the 10th of Apr
il when the chaplain made his last
prayer, and Senate, like the House.
goes on the ratio of one prayer a
day. This was not because the chap
lain was not on the job, but because
the job had sidestepped him. For on
the 10th of April the leaders on the
Republican side concluded that the on
ly way to get the tariff bill passed be-
fore frost was to hold the Senate in
continuous Legislative" session. AS a
pratical matter this method the morn
ing hour in theory eliminates all other
business but the bill in hand. The
Washington Star says; In actual
practice, however, it does nothing OF
the kind, because miscellaneous bust
ness is still transacted, the bill in hard
is laid out of hand from time to time
and meanwhile the decate proceeds
without limits of time or of subject
The adjournment, the first in l04 cal
endar days, or 2,475 hours, was taken
because of the death of member Of
the Senate. 1t is the usual thing fol-
a bereaved legislative chamber to ad-
journ upon learning of the death of a
member.
So the legislative day April 20 pass

miscellany and the essential appropri,
alton bills, in proportion to its length

What Uncle Sam Is
Doing For Farmers
AGAINST TAX FREE BONDS


"Tax free securities are nothing
more or less than Ravens for the rich
who wish to invest their money and
escape paying their proportion of the
expenses of the government" said H
c. Mckenzie, tax expert of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation, recent
ly commenting upon the House Green
of Iowa which would do away with
all tax free Federal bonds. People
with large incomes who formerly lent
large sums on farm mortgages have
entirely retired from this field of in
vestment owing to the fact that 5
per cent tax free bond will give them
as much income as the income from
10 per cent taxable mortgage.
"The annual loss in taxes to the
Federal Government is at least $780,
100000 per year, according to Pro-
fessor Seligman of Columbia Univer-
sity. In addition states having income
tax laws lose very large amount The
net result is to increase the taxes on
all other property. The last report
of the New York State Tax Commits
sion shows that while Is per cent of
incomes of the people of the state
comes from real property, 20 per cent

DISCUSSING JOINT AND CRACK
FILTERS IN CONCRETE ROADS

Unsightly black lines, sometimes
jagged and irregular, which mar the
appearance of practically all concrete
roads and which are due to the ma
tural color of materials used to fill
joints and cracks, will be avoided
F., by the use of material for the pur
pose developed in the laboratories

tied States Department of Agriculture
if tests by actual use prove as success
full as expected. This material has
the same color as concrete, and when
used to fill cracks and joints the sur
face has the appearance of continu
GUS and unbroken slab to the casual
observer.
| No particular advantage over other
good materials is claimed for the pre-
paration other than its color, and it
is probable that cost will be somewhat
higher but not prohibitive.
For several weeks a section of road
with expansion joints filled with this
material has been under observation
and the results are entirely satisfac-
tory but longer test will be necess-
airy before it can be recommended for
general use.
The mixture consists of approx
mately IL parts rosin, part crude
rubber, with sufficient barium sulph-
ate to give the desired ,dolor In
preparation the rubber is dissolved
in gasoline, and the rosin is then mix
ed in with an application of heat, the
coloring material being added as re-
quired Any desired consistency can
be obtained by varying the proper
tons. A material with remarkable
adhesive properties is produced4 and
which can be heated so that it will
flow into the cracks and joints.

aid roads rose from 38 cents in 1917
to a peak price of GO cents in l9ZO,
and has since gradually declined.
On Federal-aid work contracted for
in the last three months the average
price per cubic yard for the whole
United States was 80 cents in April,
81 cents in May, and "a cents in June.
The cost of other items entering in
to road work also shows a general
tendency toward stabiliztion, although
in many cases not as marked as thai
for earth work.

A PSALM OF LIFE

Tell me not in mournful numbers
Advertising is a dream,
For the business man who slumbers
Has no chance to skim the cream
Life is real! Life is earnest!
Competition something fierce;
If for dividends thou yearnest,
Learn the parry, thrust and fierce.
In the business field of battle,
Mollycoddles have no place;
Be not like dumb driven cattle,
Be live one in the race.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can bring the bacon home,
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on another dome.
Let us then be up and doing,
Otherwise we may be done;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Advertise and get the "mon."

Punk Poetry But
1t Has the Punch.
PASS THE APPLES

When evey pool in Eden was a
mirror that unto Eve her dainty
charms proclaimed,
She went undraped with out single
fear or
Thought that she had need to be
ashamed
Twas when she'd eaten of the apple
That she became inclined to be prude,
And found that evermore she'd have
to rrapple
With the much debated problem OF
the nude.
Thereafter she devoted her atten-
ton,
Her time and all her money to her
clothes,
And that was the beginning of con,
vention.
Reactions come about in fashions
recent;
Now girls conceal so little from
the men
That it would seem, in name of al
that's decent,
Someone should pass the apples
round again.
