The Automobile Divison of the State Highway Department al ready has received more than 5,100 applications for 1918 motor vehicle registrations and license?, the money there from totaling $40,835. State Highway Commissioner J. Denny O'Neil is urging all the motor vehicle owners and opera tions to apply early for their 1918 registrations and license tags, as all motor vehicles must carry 1918 tags on January 1. In view of the anticipated all winter transportation over the main State Highways by big motor trucks, all cooporations, manufacturers, department stores and other organizations us ing many trucks and automobiles are eFpecially urged to hurry up their applications for 1918 license nlates. , Preparations have been made by the Automobile Division to handle promptly all of the in creased business and attention is directed to the law governing the granting of motor vehicle licenses, which requires that an affidavit properly filled out shall accompany all applications. "Only Ten Billions More" Some comfort is to be derived ' from the statement of the Secre tary of the Treasury that money, is not being spent by the govern ment so freely as had been ex pected and that "only ten billions more" will be required for the fiscal year ending June 30 next. Up to date the government has raised by loans and the issue of short-term certificates about $8,000,000,000, of whjch more than $3,000,000,000 have been loaned to the Allies. As the short certificates are to be re deemed ;during the year, . this will make the total war expen ses no more than $16,000,000,000 from bonds and about $2,000, 000.000 more from taxes, which does not include considerably more than a billion for ordinary exrjenses raised by the usual taxes. Of the coming funds it is ex pected that $2,000,000,000 will be raised by thrift certificates, leaving$8,000,000,000 from bonds but even that amount may not be necessary, since toward the end of the fiscal year short-term certificates may be issued for current expenses. If Congress extends the life of these to two or five years it is expected to make it much easier to finance the government. It seems likely that no more than $6,000,000,000 will be nek- ed from regular bond issued, or just about what has been raised already. This is not likely to strain our resources.. A the money is always placed on deposit in- the reserve districts were subscribed, there is no violent distusbance of the cur rency situation and the govern ment is paying out money rapid ly, so that it is kept in circulation The next loan may be expected somewhere about February and is not likely to be for more than $3,000,000,000 It is hped that West and South will subscribe liberally than formerly and that a larger amount will be raijed in sums of $500 or less, The pres ent prices of existing issues in dicate that the next loan will bear 4i per cent, which will be more attractive to those accus tqmedto put their money in sav in gs banksJ-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Eat Plenty of Potatoes. "Now that the country's bumper potato crop 'u flowing in to markets in an everincreasing stream the wise housewife will take advantage of this cheap source of starchy food and will eive the tubers a very important place on the dinner table," say home-economics specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. It is well known that potatoes are a nutritious ana neaitniui food, of which one may eat freely without ill effects. As a matter of fact 8 ay the department specialists, there is something more which can be said for the potato, for the liberal consump tion of them helps to supply the body with alkaline salts which it needs for normal health. Eat more potatoes, for breakfast, lunch, dinner or supper, there fore, while they are abundant say the ' specialists, to the ad vantage of both your health and your pocketbook.
