Houston, writing today to the bankers of the country, declared that the com pleted operations o.f the treasury for the fiscal year ending with this month '-should show little, if any, deficit, the government having bal anced its budget, current receipts against current disbursements, for the first full fiscal year after the fighting stopped. Though the first quarter of the present fiscal year showed a deficit of about $770, 000,000,'" Mr. Houston said, "in the second quarter there was a surplus of over $150,000,000, in the third quarter there was a surplus of nearly $400,000,000, and the fourth quarter should also show a surplus.

"The reduced ordinary and public debt disbursements have made pos slble a very important reduction in the amount of the net balance in the general funds, which has been applied to the reduction of the debt." lebt to Be Korther Hrdarrd. Tho secretary declared that both gross debt and floating debt would be further greatly reduced by the retirement of nearly $1,000,000,000 in treasury certificates due about July Id ' Most of this will be paid out of taxes falling due this month, but to meet the balance and to provide for current requirements of the govern ment up to July 15, the treasury has decided to offer about $400,000,000 in new certifications, in two series, one bearing interest at 6 per cent and maturing June 15, 1921, and the other bearing 5?i per cent interest and ma turing January 3, 1921. Both series will be dated June 15. . Discussing the outlook for the coming fiscal year, the secretary said there would bo a further reduction of both the gross and floating debts in the first two quarters, and that un less additional burdens should be im posed by future legislation there would be a steady important reduc tion in the last two quarters. V. S. Securities Steadily Liquidated. "The period of upward of 12 months since the flotation of the vic tory loan," Mr. Houston continued, "has witnessed great expansion of commercial credits, but steady liqui dation of United States government war credits. The federal reserve banks' combined loans and discounts secured by government war securi ties have been reduced by more than $400,000,000, though they have in creased their loans and investments by about $1,200,000,000. All reporting member banks (about 800 believed to control about 40 per cent of the com mercial bank deposits of the country) have reduced their holdings of and loans upon United States government war securities by about $2,000,000,000, but have increased with other loans and investments by about $4,000,000,-000."

Multnomah county commissioners will journey out the Columbia river highway this morning to investigate eight suggestea automobile parking places along the scenic drive. The necessity for the establishing such places at points of' interest along the road before private individuals begin to capitalize the attractive spots, was brought to the attention of the com missioners by W. A. Eatchel,' road master, at a meeting yesterday. "A vprv In rpc Investment has been made by Multnomah county in the , Pay my transportation from one point construction of the Columbia River highway, one of the greatest scenio highways In the world," pointed out Mr. Eatchel, "and in order to preserve the beauty and most attractive fea tures it is advisable that a system of parking places be established of easy access from the highway before these scenic points have been sold out to individuals. If action is not taken soon it may be too late. Mr. Eatchel recommended that land be acquired for the purpose at the "S" turns between Crown Point and Latourell fall; one-half mile west of Shepherds Dell; Multnomah falls; Oneonta falls; St. Peters Dome: Co bia Gorge National park. Horse Tail falls and Eagle Creek park. The matter came to Mr. Eatchel's attention following an investigation of the request of O. K. Patterson to have the commissioners widen the highway in front of his store at Cor bett. The roadmaster reported that he did not see the advantage to the general public In complying with that request, but did see the advantage of securing other parking places. to another.

The Chamber of Commerce has de termined upon a plan for improve ment of facilities at Crater lake na tional park, in assisting to carry through financing for the Crater lake company on a basis agreeable to the management. The importance of the project was recognized when a com mittee was appointed last year to in vestigate and recommend a method by which tourist travel could be cared for there and at other mountain re sorts. A special committee of busi ness men was named to suggest a feasible method of financing a large development enterprise, but with the approach of another tourist season the necessity for prompt action dictated adopting a plan that will get quick results. Business men are to be asked to subscribe to an improvement fund of the company, which will convey all of its property to a trust company as : guarantee of payment and will pay ' per cent interest out of gross earn ings and from net earnings will set aside up to $5000 in 1921 and up to 000 each year thereafter to retire ssue.

Harold came to Lexington from Louisville, where he was arrested on a vagrancy charge a few hours after he had reached town. He was sen tenced to ten days in jail and served five of the sentence.

Van Buren told the following: "Dragged a string of frankfurters through the lobbies of the principal hotels in New lork. Broke up show at the Hippodrome by going on the stage in front of the audience and swimming in a glass tank in full dress suit. Blew a feather across Forty-second street on my stomach.

Fighting to keep away from the poorhouse we shorten the distance to the grave. .especially in miaaie age, at 40 or thereabouts, do we become impressed with the necessity of laying up a com petence and with that feeling in time comes worry, nervous breakdown, neurasthenia.

The rainfall this month is already above the normal for June for the past six years, according to Lee Goetschius. local weather observer. During the two days' showers ended Monday evening it was 1.36 inches. Farmers are jubilant, as some crops hadJ begun to look like failure.

In Future. SALEM, Or., June 8. (Special.) In a signed confession reiterating state ments made previously to fellow con victs but the truth of which were doubted by Dr. R. Lee Steiner, until recently superintendent of the peni tentiary. James Ogle, now serving a life sentence in the institution for the murder of J. N. Burgess and George E. Perringer of Pendleton in Multno mah county last November, today as- umed all blame for the shooting or the two men and exonerated David mith and Walter Bannaster as far the actual killing was concerned. Smith and Bannaster also are under fe sentence for the part they played in the murders. Local officials see in Ogle s confes sion the cunning of the average con- ict and believe that the statements made by the murderer were inspired with a view of exonerating Smith and Bannaster and helping them to obtain their release from prison at some date In the near future. Once liberated. Ogle would no doubt expect them to reciprocate and assist him to obtain his freedom, according the officers. Dr. Steiner, who has made a life- ong study of men and women in dif ferent walks of life, has always ex pressed the belief that Ogle did not fire the shots that killed Perringer and Burgess, but that another of the hree men was responsible for the ac tual shooting. Warden Compton of the penitentiary, however, believes in Ogle's confession and is of the opin ion that he made the confession to relieve his conscience. When Ogle today asked Warden Compton if he could again be tried for the murdier, the official believes he wanted to make sure that he was safe from the noose before making any statement. ROME, June 9. Premier Kitti and his mindsters resigned today. The an nouncement was made by the pre mier at a turbulent sitting of the chamber. Four hundred deputies were in attendance and all the galleries were crowded. Half an hour previously the cabi net had decided to resign when the chamber opened. The resignation of Signor Orlando as president of the chamber was first announced. Then Premier Nltti arose. He was sub jected to much interruption, protests and counter cheers as he announced withdrawal of the decree relating to the price of bread, and also resigna tion. of the cabinet. He said the min lsters would continue temporarily to transact current business. After Signor Modigliand. socialist deputy, asserted that the annulment of the decree was a triumph for the official socialists, and other speak ers had Indulged in recriminations which led to tumults and fisticuffs, the chamber adjourned indefinitely. Premier Nitti's resignation appar ently was the outcome of a resolution introduced by the socialist parlia mentary group yesterday to refuse to bear the government statement on the reopening of the chamber, on the ground that the decree raising the price of bread was a violation of the parliament's prerogatives. Every party In the house had. pro tested the decree, which the govern ment sanctioned to avoid a govern ment loss of ' 80,000,000 lire through the bread- subsidy. Care and Responsibility i 'H k. responsibility attached to the preparing of a remedy for infants and children is undoubtedly greater than that imposed upon the manufacturer of remedies for adults whose system is sufficiently strong to counteract, for a time at least, any injurious drug. It is well to observe that Castoria is prepared today, as it has been for the past 40 years, under the personal supervision of Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher. What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake? What are their responsibilities? To whom are they answerable? They spring up today, scatter their nefarious wares broadcast, and disappear tomorrow. 1 fiould each mother see the nainstakinff care with which the prescription for v x Fletcher's Castoria is prepared: could they read the innumerabla testimonials from grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings and false arguments of those who would offer an imitation of, or substitute lor, the tried and true Fletcher's Castoria.

Truth 6hows no favors, fears no enemies. ' From the inception of Fletcher's Castoria, Truth has heen the watchword, and to the conscientious adherence to this motto in the preparation of Fletcher's Castoria as well as in its advertising is due the secret of its popular demand. All imitations, all substitutes, all just-as-good preparations lack the element of Truth, lack the righteousness of being, lack all sem blance even in the words of those who would deceive. And youl Mothers, mothers with the fate of the "World in your hands, can yon be deceived? Certainly not. Fletcher's Castoria is prepared for Infants and Children.
