Washington, Aug. 25. The United States reaffirmed today its faith in the new Russian democracy and gave con crete evidence of its confidence by loaning anotIier'?100,0CK),000 to the provisional government. Announcement of the loan came from the Treasury department soon after Secretary Lansing had denied formally that reports from Russia were oi an ur.iavoraDie nature and de clared that on the contrary confiden tial dispatches to the government were the basis for his belief that the administration at Petrograd was strengthening its position. Stronger Than In Month. ''I regard the government of Rus sia as stronger today than it has been for a month," Mr. Lansing said. "I mean in general, both from political . and military points of view. This opinion is based upon reports more or tess confidential that we have been getting.: So far as the military situation is concerned, the secretary indicated that he felt little concern over the advance upon Riga by the Germans, recalling that the place had been evacuated five times during the war. Major General Scott, chief-of-staff, who was a meniber of th ; Root com mission, agreed that the capture of Riga would not be an important strategical loss.

The fact that the food administration's grain cor poration will purchase wheat for mill ers as well as for the American and the allied governments was revealed in a statement issued tonight by the grain price-fixing committee, headed by Dr. Hy A. Garfield. The announcement which explained the method by which the grain cor poration will meet its operating ex penses, told of a plan for furnishing seed to farmer and set forth that wheat will be purchased by grades, follows: "When announcement is made of a reasonable price for the 1917 No. 1 northern, spring wheat, the food ad ministration will, at the same ' tijne, state the basis on which the grain corporation will buy the different grades of wheat in the principal grain markets. "The expense of the grain corpora tion will be met by voluntary fees paid by the millers and export buy ers and will not be deducted from the price fixed.

Savings bank de posits continue to exceed the. with drawals. Balances to the credit of depositors have increased more than 70,000,000 francs since the first of the year. The joke is on local Red Cross women. And a little band of women out in the state are having a good laugh over it. Not long age the up-state women notified local Red Cross headquarters they had made a quantity of bed socks which they would send here to be shipped on to Europe, if it passed cen sorship at Omaha headquarters. Miss Abbie Rose, secretary, re sponded to the letter, impressing upon the women the strict require ments ordered by national headquart ers. "I am sending you a correct sample of the bed sock," wrote Miss Rose. When the sample sock arrived, it did not conform exactly to the kind of sock the up-state women were mak ing. "Let us send one of our kind of socks to Omaha, headquarters and see if it will pass muster." suggested one of the women. This was done. When the package was received here, it wat inspected. "This sock is very poorly made. We could not dream of passing it," said the local censor. "Write them they must rip out their socks and make them over again if they are all like this." . These instructions had no sooner been carried out and the letter dis patched when a special delivery mes senger entered, bearing a message from the out-of-town women. "We have made a mistake. Instead of sending you one of oir own-made socks, we have returned you the sani ply forwarded from Omaha." Miss Rose and the censor gasped with amazement, and chagrin. s But the letter of critique had gone. There was no recalling it. Don't ask the local women what happened wnen their letter was re ceived out in the state. Mr. and Mri. Wlllli Marten snUrtalned (or th former's birthday Thursday. Valley. Mr. and Mrs. T, F. Kennedy.

Flutters g My Article Last Week Evidently iMet With Disapproval in Some Quarters. I have heard it said before that my published announcements each week do not please certain of niy professional brethren, and I took it as a gentle hint that I was treading upon dangerous ground when I dared criticise established rules and customs especially if they received the support and in dorsement of the Powerful DentaLTrust. It was, therefore, with fear and trembling that I tackled the question last week, and I frankly state I did not" intend to defend the old school method. It was simply my purpose "to try to identify those who practice it." I was robbed of that pleasure, however, by those who rushed forward to identify themselves, in denying the charge and assuring me that this article "capped the climax," was 'illadvised," "uncalled-for," "exceedingly uncomplimentary to the profession," etc. and tcrthese self-starting protestants I can only repeat the words of Marc Antony, "I came to BURY CAESAR, not to praise him." i I am not a man to mince wordsf dodge a question or shirk a duty. The position taken by certain dentists and that assumed by myself are as far apart as the poles. Some one is right, some one is wrong. My "tirade," as it was called by one of my critics, was simply to clarify the atmosphere and establish at once and for all time whether the Dental Trust deserved the title, because of its attempt to force high prices on the people and stifle competition, or whether I was entitled to the "honor," because I do dental work at prices 'people like to pay, made competition possible and ADVER TISED THE FACTT I frankly stated that the decision should be left to a dis criminating public, because my patients were prejudiced in my favor and the Dental Trust was prejudiced against me, and neither were fair and impartial judges. I am anxiously awaiting the verdict. " One of the conveniences I have given the public is the opportunity for the business man, working man or woman to have their dental work done after working hours. I have arranged to give you the same attention and treatment evenings until 8 o'clock that you would receive during the day. Also Sunday hours from 9 to 1 o'clock.
