In 1.6 com es every single man applied for insurance; in 5 units, 3 of them full companies, every man applied for the maximum of $10,000. A spirited campaign of education bhas been organized and is being con d*icted to furnish full and thorough information of the workings of the law to those coming under the pre visions, and it is believed that the great benefits of this wise and hu mane provision for the soldiers and sailors of the United States and their dependents will be availed of by prac tically all of our fighting men. At the close of the business day of December 20 the Bureau of War Risk Insurance had receive(l applicants to the number of 272,122, aggregating $2,359,402,000 of insurance.

Notice of their arrival will be given in advance. The services of these officials in making oue income-tax returns wvill be given without cost to all persons reqjuesting it. Failure to see them, however, will not relieve citizens of the (duty imposedl upon them to file their returns not later than March 1. Questions as to when a farmer is to make his return of the value of crops and~ stock, the relation of these things to income, etc., and as to em ployees and other matters, will all be answveredl by the revenue field force.

Three men each took a hundred 'Thrift cards, pasted one stamp in each card, and sold the entire lot be fore two blocks had been covered. "Two bits" is the old term, dating back to the early lays of the country, for a quarter of a dollar, and is still used in the South and West. Eve-y patriotic American now wants "to do his bit"; the members of these clubs are carrying out this idea finely in doing their "two bits every lay. It is hoped that "Two Bits a Day" clubs will be formed all over the country in the great war-savings campaign. -o LIBERTY-BONI) COUPONS The interest coupons of Liberty Loan Bonds are payable at any Fed eral reserve bank or Subtreasury and at the Treasury Department in Wash ington, and any national bank which is a general depositary of Govern ment funds is required to cash these coupons without charge. It is believed by the Treasury I)e partment that no bank or trust com pany which is a depositary of the proceeds of Liberty Bonds or Treas ury certificates- of indebtedness will make a charge for collecting the cou pons, paying cash to. the holder. The service rendered by banking institu tions in cashing these interest cou pons is a substantial one, but it is hoped that these depositaries will per -form the service without charge as a patriotic duty. FALSE STATrEM ENTS ARE HARMFUL The finances of the whole country, public as well as private, by force of the national needs at this crisis are subordinated and adjusted to the great Liberty Loan. Financing by railroadls or other great industries andl all lesser private financing must be considered primarily in relation to the Government loans. The needs of private interests, the money necessities of the business of the country as well as that of the Government itself are all considered by the Secretary of the Treasury in fixing the amount and~ (late of each issue of Liberty Loan Bonds, andl the ef1'ect of the issue of bonds on all other securities and all other loans is given due consideration. The dissemination, therefore, of un true information, even when made in honest belief and with good intention, is harmful, and Secretary McAdoo on December 20 issued the following strong statement: "Trhe report that the next issue of Liberty Bonds will b~e $8,000,000,000 at 4%/ per cent and on March 15, 1918, is wholly unfounded. I wish I could make the patriotic newspaper men of America realize how mischevious and hurtful to the interests of the coun try such speculative statements are. When a decision has been reached about the next Liberty Loan, it will be oficially announced. Meanwhile, all other statements and rumors may be disregarded." ADVERTISE IN THE TIMES.
