On offering waa of three to five year bearing annual Interest of 2 per the proceeds of which ar vsed for cash retirement of whatever second liberty bonds ar sot exchanged by bolder for notes. Th closing' of th books does not apply to th exchange feature.

Bondholders still may avail themselves of the proposal. It probably will remain open until abont September 21. Th other Issue, a slx rbonths group of treasury (certificates with Interest at 2 per cent, represents the usual regular quarterly financing for current government need. In each Instance th cash offer ing was for a minimum cT ZJ9. 090,050.

The; cash submitted 'amounted to fl.t7f.000, 000, th notes being oversubscribed by S10.eo0.000 and the certificates by I3JJ.6O0.COO. Whether. In making allotments, th treasury will ac cept subscription for' th notes In excess of J2SO.000.000 may deter mined largely by th extent of the response to th exchange offer. Ther Is no official information, as yet, regarding how widespread the acceptance of this plan has been. Until this Is learned the arovern ment can hav no exact Information as to how much money will be required on November IS.

th date on which th second Liberty bonds re maining outstanding have been called for retirement which means that thereafter, even. If any are not turned in. bo Interest will ba.pald on them. It Is ftnprobabl that oversubscriptions to much. If any, extent will accepted for the lssu of f2SO.OCt.000 in certificates.

Prior to November II th treas ury will take whatever ether steps may be found necessary, after th present operations are completed. to close th blatory of th ecorrd Liberties. When the present trans action was undertaken approximately 1.200.000.000 of. these bonds nalned outstanding. All except about 19,000.000 of th total bear Interest of 4U per cent.

The 19,008.000 calls for a rate of 4 per cent. Th heavy oversubscription of notes establishes conclusively th ease the government wilt hav in obtaining what ever may be required for paying holders of th bonds, who do not choos to exchange them for th new securities. Incidentally th lower rat at which the treasury can command th money will reduce the carrying; charge paid on th na tional debt. THE SllMSIfiHIlTI fl'XD When the federal fiscal year ended on Jun 20, ther remained unexpended f2.O00.OOO of th total sum congress had appropriated for river and harbor work. This sum, and much more is greatly needed to carry forward repair work on levees along th Mississippi and Its river tributaries.

Th less th delay In new construction th better will be the chance of preventing widespread damage from floods, such as occurred this year. General McCarl twice has declined pleas that the 12,000.000 be released. II holds that ther Is no legal authority for making unexpended sums available after the fiscal year, for which they wer appropriated has passed, short of action by congress. This prlncipl has been so well established la th conduct of federal affair that th controller general' probably has mad correct Interpretation of the status of the remaining river and harbor money. Moreover, his strict application of the law governing expenditure of all sort so often ha prevented wast and xtravaganc that McCarl.

who hold offlc for twenty year and who can be removed only by congress, is not pen to violent criticism. 6tstutes are always statute to him, and It' is his business to see that expenditures made in the manner, and that manner only, authorised by congress. It he were not adamant It is easy to believe that a precedent might lead to subterfuge and financial dls organtxatlon. controller general 1 makes lit clear that he regrets th course feel must follow and that is not unmindful of the emergency existing. Under th circumstances there probably would be no criti cism of a point being stretched and the unexpended money being made available.

The action, nevertheless, might be seised on at som futur tlm for overriding appropriation legislation to foster purposes less commendable. TUE STATE TAX JtATE Most of th governmental units hav mad known the tax 'rates they propos for th coming year. Som of them doubtless will stand, while other will be appealed to the stat board of lax commissioners for review. Th next ls th stat rata It I agreed on by th tax com mijslonrr. subject to the approval of thv Governor and the auditor.

This covers th funds THE used for stat purposes. It had been the desir of the administration to reduce taxes eachyar.

a combination of funds th atat debt wa liquidated aora tlm ago and th law baa been changed to throw former separat funds Into th general fund, Th expense of th tat government has not been reduced materially and ther ar a many demands for now Improvements, but th tax commissioners ar expected to; ent at' least 1 cnt from this year rate. Even with that reduction, th Increase Imposed by th legislature probably will ult In a slightly higher stat rata wheat Ay cony Wheat now la mo nearly harvested and thrashed throughout th United States that production figures gath ered by th department of a ktI culture are much more accurate than earlier In the crop year. The latest estimate, September la that the nation's farms hav" made available SS3.009.000 bushels of the winter grain and 20t.Oeo.Oe of the spring variety, the growing of whlfh 'Is confined principally to th north west. The combined total of ttUr 000.009 bushels exceeds the output of 12. by.

Th per, capita us of tha grain varies only sllahtly, as a rule. can assume that, including seed re quirements, th United States will take for Its own needs 425,000.000 bushel before another harvest ar rives. In addition, as a form of Insurance against unexpected developments In the hap of a short crop or other emergencies, a carryover of 100.000,000 bushels Is deemed desirable.

We can, aa we have don. rely on a smaller carryover, and do mestic consumption might go as low as 40000.000 bushels, although this is improbable. Consequently, with a horn and' carryover allowance of 72S.000.000 bushel present reports indicate that 280.000,000 bushels will available for sal abroad.

It 1 gratifying to not, though, that th outlook for this vastly Important grain In th scheme of American agriculture has improved In th last thirty days.

POXVEIt OF PROPORTION Judging from the number of ugly buildings In the world On might naturally infer that ther was among th people no "feeling" for fine architecture Nor would th Inference be wholly false. Tet many a man has, admired and been impressed by an artistically fin structure without knowing why It was fin without perhap ven know. Ing that it was fine.

Probably what rouses pleaaur in th mind of th mors or less Ignorant beholder la th power that Inheres in perfect proportion. Th human mind Instinctively rejoices in unity, and It can hardly help being pleased by a building that Is at unity with Itself, and with the purpose which It Is designed to On th other hand, th mind is1 pusxlsd.

For th unity la organic.

Th sAme hold In llf Symmetry, to call 14 that, that Is th product of staadardlxation. Is hardly more another name for feebleness and ugliness. Th very word proportion Implies differences and Individual peculiarities, for It is thes that must beat a true proportion to one another. What is true of art and life Is also true of religion.

T. M. MARSHALL. VISITING I Boston' Transcript 1 One of the advantages claimed by the Manchester Union, in an ex editorial article by. Ann Sory oh the recent farmers and home makers' wk at Durham, Is that such an occasion a that week was givea th farmtrs and wives a chanc for visiting.

Just visiting, says Miss Story, means a lot In th lives of thos people, who have but precious little i time 'for visiting In th busier parts of the ar In this remark the word visiting Is used. no', doubt. In a little mors than th conversational sens employed by th New England housewife when she says to her neighbor. lefn set and visit By this means, "Let us pleasantly In Nw Eng land you may "visit with your neighbor without "entering her houae; manyan hour baa been spent visiting over th front gat.

Man is all you say he Is and more. Tet Jean Paul Rlchter's observation remains profoundly true that the real proof ot hla greatness lies in his perception of his smallnesa. The Psalmist voiced the same Idea when he aur veyed the heavenly constellations.

"What la man." exclaimed, "that Thou art mindful of hlmp The comparlaon invited immediate "For Thou hast made him a IltVJe lower than the and hast crowned htm with glory and honor" (Psalm VIII. t).

Old age Is the eeason for memory, not Imagination, But there la no hard and Jest line of demarcation between the three periods you mention.

The general tendency, however, la as follows: glow and uprush ef the Imaginative power comes before twenty five; the critical faculties are at their beet at forty; the retrospective activities begin I ft the sixties. Tet none need bow too readily to nature'e etern decree. I know a Brooklyn citizen who at eighty and over still sings all Gilbert and Sullivan's operas with delight arranges first class musical events, reads, the best fio tlon and poetry and keenly criticises the addresses and sermons' he le compelled to hear.
