Hits British Liner

Boston, June 24.-Thc British steam

ton ship to themselves with the serv-

entire accommodation could have been
sold out at Liverpool but for the fact
that the British immigration quota for
the year ending June 80 had been ex-
hausted.

Washington. June 23.-The Federal
government on June 80 will close its
books for the fiscal year, 1923, with
the statement that the Washington
tax spending officials have lived COM
pletely within their income.
Ordinary receipts of the govern
ment for the twelve month period
ended May 81 exceeded disbursements
by 552,000,00O, according to an off,

Receipts this month are expected
to continue to run ahead of expendi-

plain that the insistence Of President
Harding for economy in public affairs
and the initiation Of the budget sys.
tenn are the chief factors which made
possible an excess Of receipts over
expenditures.
For the twelve months ended with
May. the ordinary receipts of the gov
eminent totaled $3.50. 900, 900. Or
binary disbursements amounted to
only 3,32S,0O0,000. When the pres

government, both expenditures and
receipts were running in excess Of
four billions of dollars a year.
The excess Of receipts over expen-
ditures for the current year may be
brought to the attention Of Congress

What Europe Ownes Us-With
Promise to Pay

Having been supplied with a docu
ment from Washington city con-
tanning the statements of what
amounts of cash was loaned to vari-
Gus European countries between
the years of 1917 to 1920, I deem it
a duty, also a privilege, to place the
figures before my dear readers OF
the Country Home column, that
they may understand, as l do, that
our chances for repayment are very
slim-according to present existing
conditions. Nevertheless, it is well
to know where we are at. We
should not be "dumb-driven cattle. -
We should understand, first of all,
where the United States govern
ment secured the cash to loan to
the allies. The first Liberty loan
act was passed in 1917, April oath.
Three billion dollars were approprl-
ated. The second Liberty loan act
was passed in 1917, September gath.
This produced four billions of dol
lars. The third Liberty loan act
came along April 4th, 1918, appro-
priating one billion five hundred
millions. The fourth Liberty loan
act became a law in July, 1910, max
ing our loans equal to ten billions
of dollars.
The Victory loan act of March
g. 1919, after the armistice, pro-
vided that the secretary of the
treasury could only use credit

know that Hooty had taken Blacky
the Crows old nest?"
Meanwhile Hooty and Mrs. Hooty
sat in trees close to that pile OF
brush and Kissed and clacked their
stout, hooked bills and threatened
things to Bobby Coon. Just to hear
them made Bobby SILVER and shake.
But Mrs. Hooty didn't stay long.
Those two babies back in the nest
needed attention. So, with a last
dreadful threat. she flew away. But
Hooty remained. He ached all over
for another chance at Bobby Coon.
But at last even his patience gave
out, or else he felt that he was need
ed at home.
Bobby Coon didn't know when
Hooty left. You see, big as they are,
those wings of Hooty's make no
sound. When he flew away it was
in perfect silence. But Bobby Coon
was in no hurry to leave. He had
made one mistake that morning, and
that was enough. He had no lnten-
ton of making another mistake. He
would stay right there until he was
sure that the way was clear. Then
ne would get away from that part of
the Green Forest as fast as possible.
and keep away. Young Owls might
be very good eating. He didn't know,
for he never had tried them. But
he was sure that they were not
worth what he had already suffered.
So it was long, long after the
Black Shadows had crept all through
the Green Forest and brought dark
ness there that Bobby Coon crept
out from under that pile of brush
and as noiselessly, but as fast as he
could. hurried away. He was a sad
der, a very much sadder Coon than
he had been early that morning, but
also he was much wiser. Wisdom,
you know. often is attained at the
cost Of fright and pain. But often
it is worth it.

Dear Children: I have an honor
roll for you this time, so am going
to talk little about "Inez" for the
benefit of those cousins who have
joined us lately, and because Of the
many questions asked recently con-
corning her.
Inez is our little mountain girl
who is living now at the wonderful
Berry school at Rome, Ga. Year be-
fore last we had an even hundred
dollars in our mite box, and we
could think of nothing better to do
on the birthday OF the Blessed Christ
Child than to give to another little
one home and protection for year.
So on Christmas of 1921, we sent
Miss Martha Berry our check for the
$100 and she wrote back to us that 1t
came as an answer to prayer, for a
little girl in sore need of protection
had come to her, and she simply did
not see where her years support was
to come from, and 10, our check.
This past year we only had $12 but
we were glad to have that, and we
sent it to Inez, and how grateful
both she and Miss Berry were to get
it! We hope that on next Christmas
our offering will be larger.
Lovingly, AUNT JULIA.

Dear Folks

Dear Folks.
Do you remember our discussions
about Friendship Gardcns?' Please
this year, when you are separating
plants, bulbs and shrubs remember
this plan and pass along to some
less fortunate neighbor blooming or
shrub plants that may brighten an
ether garden. l have a number Of
such plants in my garden and they
never bloom without bringing sweet
memories of the friends who grew
and gave them to me.

Salle Jones:
1t is not good form to remove
your coat and hat when dining ia
cafe or hotel.
l. F. c.:
1t would be impossible for me to
quote you a price on small or large
broom factory. SO much depends
upon conditions in different locali-
ties, also upon how anxious the
owner is to dispose of his plant.
Mother of 8:
You failed to enclose the sample.
I think that you will find the me-
dunn and broader brims the most
becoming. OF course you will not be
able to wear the serge long now. In
our climate there is small use for
wooden dresses after the first of
May until the middle or last of Oc-
tober. There is nothing like d good
serge for cold days, but if you want
to wear the dress this summer I'd
advise the exchange. If, however,
you have a sentiment about keeping
it because it was d gift, why not
make a good-looking straight dress
of it, wear it as long as you can,
then put away carefully and wear
it again in the early fall and win
ter? OF course if L had material
for two cloth dresses I'd rather have
a pretty silk for summer wear.
Avoid buff shades, but a good yell
low as a facing for a dark blue
straw with the flowers in the love-
ly varied colors of this spring would
be good for you. [ think if your
hair is split at the ends that is the
time to trim it, frankly L do not
put much faith in the changes of
the moon.

Dear Aunt and Cousins: We have
been thinking for some time that
we would write, as we haven't seen
any letters from this part of Florida
We, like most cousins, live on
farm, and certainly do enjoy it. 1
guess most of the cousins have
flowers and trees of different kinds.
If you cousins want to come to the
land of milk and honey, just come
to Florida. We go to school and
are classmates in the eighth grade.
Beulah is fourteen years old and Ida
is twelve. We sew, read books and
do different things for pastime. All
of you cousins write to two Florida
girls. We will assure all of you an
answer.
