However, mis sim would leave the bureau withou ade quate funds to pay the costs of main taining a large federal police force.

Legal advisers of other agencies today discovered that an executive order of the president dated Septem ber 2. 1917,-issued under authority of the Overman act, delegated to the revenue bureau and the customs di vision 'the enforce ment of the pro visions of the food conservation measure of 'August 10. 1917. mhlch prohibited the use or food materials In production of whiskey and pared the way for restriction of beer brew ing. These agendas were anthoriied to employ such additional assistants for -this work as the secretary of the treasury might deem necessary. ' The amendment tc the agricultur al appropriation art cf 19 IS by which war time prohibition effective. July 1 was established, did not become law until longx after that executive order was Issued and consequently the order would not apply to the pro hibition measure.

The act so specifies that in this time no beer, wine or other Intoxicat ing malt or vinous liquors shall be sold for beverage purposes except for export." The distinction between this act and other war-time liquor restric tions as explained today by officials. is that it relates to the sale of li quor. whereas the others related to manufacture. Consequently It was explained that the revenue bureau will not have power to take action against illicit sale but will retain its present powers to prevent Illegal production of liquor .The development of Marion coun ty's program of market roads will add wealth to the towns and rural districts and will bring about an Ideal community life vi herein none will be Isolated is the assertion of James Stewart, former represents Uve of Wheeler county, who spoke at the Commercial Club Inncheoa at the Marion hotel yesterday. - Mr. Stewart maintained that bond Ing the county to build the roads ts the soundest bupslness Judgment, er en though part of the debt Is paaned on the next generation.

Hamilton, wntn called up on by Theodore Roth, who presided at the luncheon, gave statistics show ing, the saving which would be ef fected by hard surfaced roads. He pointed out that there are 4000 au tomobiles In Marion county and pi se ed the . average mileage of each at 4000. miles and es Urns ted that the saving per mile on pared roads would be one cent. The amount thos ac cruing totals $160,000. Mr. Hamilton presented that $32 000 would be saved aanaally in the county In time.

As In pat campaigns, work has been rusiifd at the bureau of engraving on the binds of small denominations, since these constitute most of the over-the-coun ter sales. There will be plenty of the notes for use as "samples" by salesmen, officials said today. Gratification over the f 4. 300. 000.- 000 total of the loan, which Is small er than had been generally antici pated, and the Interest rate, was ex pressed today In hundreds of tele grams reaching the treasury from lean committees. Many of these were t the effect that the tortus had raised the hopes of loan workers and financial observers. a I Officials discussing terms of tho victory loan today said one re sen for their belief that the market price of bonds of past Issue would 'not b" depressed by the new seeurltl. was that there still should exist a strong demand for the older Issues by larc- er taxpayers. With certain a rran ce ment of holdings of past lWJ it Is -possible to hold $160,000,000 of bonds absolutely tax free.
