IGNORES BROKERS
IN BUYING BONDS
Treasury Inaugurates Plan of
Dealing Directly With Sc
curity Holders.

Dealing directly with the Govern
ment bondholder. the Treasury De
partment, beginning today, Will at
tempt an innovation in financing TO
determine the feasibility of making
purchases direct from such holder for
the cumulative sinking fund.
Instead of buying on the market or
through brokers, the Treasury Will
give to all honders of third Liberty
loan bonds the opportunity to sell,
with the understanding that the low
est offers may be accepted under the
limit of l0l1a and accrued interest.
This procedure will save commission
charges to the sellers and to the
Treasury" said the official announce
ment of the offer by Secretary Mellon.
$4,000, 900 Deal in Prospect.
From the lowest proposals received
the Treasury expects to purchase
third Liberty loan bonds to the
amount of about $5O,000,000. All pro-
posals should be handled through a
bank or trust company, which will
deal with the Federal Reserve Banks,
the oAIicial agencies for the Treasury.
Proposal must he received by a Fed
eral Reserve Bank not later than De
cember 10, 1925. The Treasury has
reserved the right to reject any or
all proposals.
In arranging for the experiment the
Treasury gave weight to the thoughts
that wider field for disposal of Gov
ernment securities will he produced
by the building up of a closer under
standing between the Government and
the holders of its obligations, which
now total more than 0.000, ,00O, 900.
1t was believed that the knowledge
of an opportunity now and then to
dispose of the securities direct to the
Government would gradually increase

Augusta fight fans saw flock OF
the best scraps that have been put
on in this city for long time. when
Harry Sears put on his second bout
before crowd that was even larger
than the first one. Every boy that he
STAGED was willing worker, emu

and the variety of fighting that was
shown could not fail to please.

Then EllinWood seemed to get a faint

sound appetizing but it was a good

were laying WaSerS as to which

ADVERSELY A STIMULANT
TO GOOD FARMING

An interesting experience IS told
by Dean Dodson Of Louisiana farm.
er who was just about breaking even
in growing cotton. One day his
wife fell seriously i'll and was obliged
to go to the hospital. A little later
his daughter was also taken to the
hospital. Before he was through
with this experience he was con-
fronted with a bill for $1,000. What
was he to do?
Like a good business man he be-
gan to figure how he might increase
his income and cut down his ex-
penses. He had few COWS that he
kept for raising calves. He started
to milk these and sell the product.
He had some Gull potatoes that were
unstable. He fed these to his cows
and some pigs which he was able to
buy right. Other waste products
were utilized in the same manner.
In the garden he had more turnips
than he needed for his own use.
These he sorted, selling the best and
feeding the poor ones. He consult
ed with his merchants as to what
garden crops he might proitably
grow for the local market.
He figured that he had some idle
land that he might use in growing
grain and hay. He enlarged his flock
OF poultry and took better care of it.
He was more careful in the use OF
his auto and saved a considerable
sum that ordinarily went for gaso-
line. By taking advantage OF the
increased sources of income and by
cutting out unnecessary expenses
he was able by the end Of the year
to pay off his hospital bill, and in
the meantime had discovered the Sc
cret OF sound and successful farm

standing on their seats. Oily Bert

ling of Augusta lost after having been
sent to the mat twice, once in the ilrSt

seconds threw in the sponge to save
him from further punishment at the
hands of Billy Fisher of Gardiner and
Augusta.
In staging this bout Harry certainly
kept his word that he would put on
match that would surpass the previous
one. Every bout went off as stated
on the posters with the exception OF
the semi-final, and in that Harry had
received warning in time so that he
had X. 0. Mayo of Lewiston to sub

Country Endorses Dawes Plan
Il hope that we are gradually
learning that such debts, If unduly
forced, may result more calamitous-
ly to the commercial interests Of
our own country than those Of the
debtor country. This talk Of fore
ing payment Of every dollar to the
last penny is commercially unwise.
l think we may assume that the
Dawes plan has had the indorse-
nent Of the American people through
their election OF General Dawes to
the Vice Presidency of the United
States. That plan is one that es-
tablishes fundamental principles
which may be applied in consider
ing the debts OF one nation to an
other resulting from war.
1.-THE first principle, as / see it, is
that the yoke OF the war debt shall
not be held as burden upon the
people beyond the generation that
had to do with the war. This
principle is clearly intimated in the
fact that the industrial and rail
way debentures which form the
principal security and means of
payment Of the debt carry 5 per
cent interest with l per cent amorti
cation, which means that such obli
cations are to be over period of
about thirty-six years.
An Invitation to Trouble
ANY attempt to force the carry
ing of such debt burdens to the
second and third generations Is but
an engraved invitation to further
trouble.
1.-THE second principle is that the
debtor country shall be taxed to the
limit while the debt remains, but in
no event to point where its eco
nomic structure collapses under the
strain. and, further, that the ma
tionals of the debtor country shall
in no case have lesser burden Of
taxation upon them than have the
nationals of the creditor country
another principle the soundness OF
which cannot be questioned
1.-The third principle is that with
such taxes collected. payments
therefrom shall be made to the
creditor country to such an extent
only as they can be made without
disrupting international exchange
and commerce. The soundness OF
this last is apparent on its face.
"These I regard as the funda-
mental principles of the Dawes
plan, and all of the hundreds of
pages of the so-called Dawes report
are devoted to setting up the ma
chinery by which these principles
can be put into effect
III these principles are accepted

Wild selling that forced wheat

subsequently denied. but meanwhile
the market had smashed to as low as

holders of wheat had also found them
selves unable to comply with demands
from their brokers that more funds

which the market was being confront

Selling out to stop losses on the part
of owners was at times heavier in the
corn market and in oats than in wheat.
Large stocks of feed grain in sight
acted as n weight on values and new
low price records for the season were
reached both by September corn and
May oats, as well as by September
