Many farmers who desire to secure better cattle have been backward in Its purchase, somewhat on account of the lack of proper at tention being called where such cat tle can be purchased. The bureau of markets of the Department of Agri culture has arranged a small list of mostly pure bred cattle offered for sale in several sections of the state and is ready to place farmers In touch with owners of registered cat tle.

CONGRESS MUST PROVIDE 5 BILLION [Continued from First Page.] Of the $12,316,000,000 estimated ordi nary expenditures for the year end ing next June 30, $11,527,000,000 is for war purposes, and the proportion is about the same for the fiscal year ending in 1919. x lla Hornc llurden Well So far the nation has borne the financial burdens of the war well, says Secretary McAdoo, owing to the healthy business condition and the valuable aid of the established Fed eral BeserVe- System. In the # future, however, increasingly greater habits of economy must be developed by in dividuals and business institutions, the Secretary declares, and "business as usual" cannot be adopted as the guiding principle of the war. Peo ple must save and invest in govern ment securities to avoid postponing victory. With this admonition. Mr. McAdoo proceeds to cite the enormous figures of Government receipts and expendi tures which are the fruit of wartime. Total estimated' receipts for the toUtfUSBURQ Q$SRb telegraph; aurrent fiscal year are $12,580,7113,800, which, with a balance In the Treas ury last June of 11,008,913,881, makes a total of $10,847,718,181; Most ot the receipts, or $8,880,000.0Q0, are from nale of' bonds and war savings Oertlflcatesi ordinary receipts are $8,888,000,000, large from war taxes; and the Panama Canal Income Is $7,- 000,000. Ordinary disbursements are esti mated at $13,818,200,223 loans to al lies In the year at $8,115,000,000; pub lic dobt disbursements at $321,000,- 000; and Panama Canal expenses, $2:1.593,000; malclng total estimated disbursements $18,776,919,905. In order to allow for a balance In the general fund of about $600,000,000 next June 80. Congress must author ize raising of about $5,640,000,000 ad ditional funds. This llgure, together with the $8,666,000,000 of authorised but' unissued Liberty bonds and $663.- 000,000 estimated receipts from war savings, make the $9,969,000,000 which Mr. McAdoo believes Americans must lonn the Government between now and Juno 30, 181$.

Everything wasted now is little short of criminal. "Ho far as f have been able to ob serve, the American people are not sufficiently aroused to the necessity of economy and of saving in this really serious time, not only In the life of America, but of the nations of tho world. Up to the present there has been a relatively small denial ot pleasures, comforts and conveniences on the part of the average citizen. He Is drawing upon the general store of supplies In the country with al most the same freedom as before America came into the war. This cannot continue without serious hurt to the nation and to the world. The great financial operations of the Gov ernment cannot be carried forward successfully unless the people of the United Htates economize In every pos sible direction, save their, money and lend it to the Government. "It Is easy to visualize the course of a dollar saved from waste and In vested In Government bonds; First It goes to the Government as a loan for the war) second, It Is expended by the Government for food, cloth ing and ammunition which go direct ly to a gallant soldier or sailor whose lighting strength is kept up by the tood, whose body -Is kept warm by the clothing, and whose enemy is hit by the ammunition. It has not been expended in the purchase of needless food and clothing for the man at home, and Is, therefore, re leased for the use of the soldier; it is saved wealth to the men at home and can be loaned to his Government at interest, #ith resulting benefit to himself and to his Government." Nliould Hold tlondo ' Secretary McAdoo denounced pur chasers of Liberty bonds who sell their bonds when they do not impera tively need money . "It is by actually lending money to DECEMBER 5, 1917, the Government and not by merely promising- It and shifting the load to some one else," he said, "that the cit izen really helps in this great tl>.". He added, however, that ho did not mean to discourage legitimate trad ing In Government securities. Mr. McAdoo expressed the hope that additional funds to be raised during the balance of the year be by bond Issues rather than by taxation, say ing: "It Is my earnest conviction that the general economy of tho country should be permitted to readjust Itself to the new revenue laws before con sideration should be given to the Im position of additional tax burdens." Of the possibility that interest rates on future Liberty bond issues might be raised, the Secretary said: "If a situation should develop where the Government could not sell convertible and partly tax-exempt bonds upon a 4 per cent, basis, it would, I believe, become necessary to seriously consider further revenue legislation. In my judgment an in crease in the rate of interest of such bonds would be extremely unwise and hurtful." • DO YOU WORK INDOORS Then you need a winter tonic to keep up your blood-strength and nerve-force.
