THE FIFTH LOAN.
The Fifth (lovprnnicnt Loan, which
u to ho tllstrlhuteil to the proplo next
sprlnp. will flml American In till
walks of life In purticulntly j?0"tl Muipe
to participate largely.
This, It Is pointed out by thu Gov
ernment authorities, In fortumite, for
Tnclo Sntu will hnve to ndi for a very
large amount In order to meet his re
maining military outlays. The pro
ceeds of the Fourth Liberty Loan were
all exhausted by December 1, and
slnco then the Government has been
borrowing monny from the banks to
meet Its current bills. These have
been heavier since the signing of tho
armistice than before, as tho liquidat
ing of the war machine necessarily
entailed a considerable augmentation.
Tho American people In tho first
three Government loans, furnished the
monoy with which to construct tho
war machine The Fourth loan saw
It well Into tho victorious drlvo that
ended tho war. Hut tho concluding
battles, tho weeks of oxponslvo delay
slnco tho amlstlco. the bringing homo
of tho men who aro to bo discharged,
and tho liquidating of tho war con
tracts must all bo paid for with money
to bo rasled in n fifth great popular
appeal.
The record of business failures in
tho United States for tho year 1018
shows that American business men
aro In splendid shape to make largo
subscriptions to the Fifth Loan. Tho
twclvo months Just closed say only
9,982 failures. This compares with
13,855 in 1917. 10.933 In 1910, and 22,
150 In 1915. This shows, for 1918, a
55ft decrease. Tho total Is tho
smallest slnco 1899, when there wero
9,337 failures. Hy reason of tho
great Increase in tho number of busi
ness houses In tho country slnco
1899, the 1918 failures aro lelatlvoly
even much smaller than then.
Farmers ovorywhoro nro making
tho greatest roturns In history.
"Wheat is pegged at $2.20 and tho
Government is also practically guar
anteeing tho price of hogs and corn.
Among wage earners, dosplto tho
high cost of living, there Is a markod
general prosperity. Tho averago
yearly wago of tho United Stutes
Steel Company employes Is now $1,
574, against $905 in 1913 and $009 in
1902. a 120 percent Increase. Tho In
creaso In tho last live years Is 74.
Common labor, receiving $2 a day be
fore the war, now gets from $3.50 to
$5. Skilled men now got on the
averago from $0 to $20 n day and fow
get ns much ns $75 a day. In tho
Seattle shlpards men aro getting $18
a day.
Railway wages have been advanced
$700,000,000 per annum in tho last
year, following a $100,000,000 advance
given by tho Adanihon law. Tho fol
lowing table shows tho relative pay,
in 1914 and now and may bo taken
as a minimum of tho advances In
nearly all fields of employment.

Tho cost of living has, obviously,
takon up much of tho gain In wngos
anil profits ovorywhoro, but there is
still left a hnudsnmo margin. Tho

bonds in tremendous amounts nnd

Tho cauBO .of disease, as tho Chiro

which tho spinal norvos pass, and

In adjusting tho vortobrao to ro

uses and needs nothing but his hands.
Tho wholo object of his work is com

dally adjustments aro noccssary for a

IMPORTANT INFORMA
TION REGARDING REG
ISTRATION OF BONDS
Important information concerning
tho registration of Liberty Loan bonds,
as given out by tho bond department
of tho Fcdornl Hcscrvo Bank of Chi
cago contains tho following quotation
from a letter from tho Treasury de
partment:
"With refereuco to accepting sub
scriptions for bonds to bo registered
lit tho names of persons giving only
initials rather than tho full namo, I
havo to say that It is tho intent of tho
Department, not for Its own sake, but
for tho sake of holders of registered
bonds, to havo them registered In such
manner as to cnnblo tho said holders,
or their legal representatives, to dls
poso of them in tho simplest and
readiest manner. Bonds issued to
womon under their initials, or under
tho initials of their husbands, nro not
readily transferable In enso of tho
death ot tho holder.
"Though letters of administration
would bo issued in tho legal namo of'
tho deceased, nnd tho bonds would bo
Inscribed in her namo, under her In
itials, or those of her husband, as tho
caso might bo. Tho letters of admin
istration and tho bonds would not
ngrco ns to tho namo, and thoroforo
tho administrator of Mrs. Sarah A.
Smith, say, would havo to provo that
sho and Mrs. Thomas W. Smith (or
Mrp. S. Smith) wero ono and tho samo
porson. It Is to avoid troubles of this
character that tho Department Jias In
sisted on receiving tho legal namo of
persons subscribing for registered
bonds.
"Of course, tho Department cannot
rofuso to issuo bonds under Initials If
tho parties interested insist upon it,
hut it is requested that you, In all
cases whero It Is possible, insist on
receiving tho full nnmes of persons
subscribing for registered bonds.'"
Charles Krutckoff always mado a
good public record.
