SAYING "SIC EN- TO THE
NEWSPAPER

Why don't yon newspaper fellows
get after this buse why don Z yon nd
vocate that improvement; why don't
you tell those fellows where they get
of at; why don't you tear things wide
open and show EN- mp the way they
ought to be- shown upy"
These are questions that are put tu
every newspaper in the country almost
every day Of the year Sometimes the
paper does take up the tight and once
in while carries il TO successful is
sue and i'm ninety.nine cases ont Of one
hundred IN which paper is successful
in molding public sentiment for the
elimination OF an abuse or the inaugur-
alton Of an improvement. the credit Is
taken by some one else ana the paper is
given to understand that il should con
slider itself privileged to be allowed TO
participate at all, says the Fond dn
Lac Reporter.
On the other hand, when a news
paper has the temerity 10 undertake
anything Of this kind that fails from
lack Of public support 10 bring il about
the very people who 40 the inception
Of the campaign were most eager in
their urging Of. the newspaper to go
in and fight will be the first to say.
Well, we thought IT was foolish to
stir the thing up at this time. or
course the paper was right, but there
was no use in butting ts head against
a stone wall -
Every sincere and earnest newspaper
is and should stand for the bettermont
of the community il serves and In THE
work it is entitled not only to the APP
nroyal Of il readers bat their assis
lance.
IL is popular in certain quarters TO
oriticise the newspapers Everyone
who has pst project wants the paper
to boost for IT, in season and out, but
these people seldom take the trouble TO
boost the paper They will insist that
the home paper is in dnty bound to de
vote itself unselfishly 10 the promotion
Of anything and everything that in any
way may be claimed of benefit 10 the

Dear Sir -
am in receipt OF your inquiry of

OF the County Road Bonds IL same are

Replying to your paragraph (al
which is az follows;
= Is IL the intention OF the supervis.
ors to issue tn. entire amount az once

each year as can be consumed in the
work OF that year,"
IL is the intention Of the Board OF
Supervisors 10 place these bonds on the
most economical proposition that they
can get For instance. If bond of a
total. amount of $500, 600 or $3.50, 600. as
it may be. could be placed nj low
rate Of interest and would figure that
the County would be- ahead on placing
the whole amount we would place it
that way, and place all over and above
that which we did not use immediately
of the bonds sold out on interest to be
drawing at least per cent. This is a
matter that would have TO he deter
mined after all the propositions from
bidders on these bonds would be con-
sidered 10 is the contention OF the
Board OF Supervisors that these bonds
be issued or sold to raise the amount
of money actually needed OF required
for each year uut IL may TO cheaper
and mere economical for tho County
20 sell THESE bonds all at once II or

same at least 5 per cent for all money
not used.
The above covers the first two para

Replying to the third paragraph lcl,
which is as follows

You get "A better rate of Interest and
more premium if all were issued at

What little experience | have had in
placing bonds leads me To reply 10 the
above paragraph as follows: A great
amount Tor long period could be
placed for lower interest and more
premium For instance, 10 may be-
possible to place 5000. 900 worth of
bonds for n long time at per cent in

divided up in series OF $50, 600 each
could not be placed probably, ut
lower rate OF interest than 3 per cent,
and $40 600 bond would he hard TO
place at per cent interest We nave

AS far as | am able to interpret the
or feeling Of the County
Board | would say that this matter

assif 10 were our own business affairs.
There may be- some technicalities in
with the issueing of these
bonds that we are not familiar with.
But. as tar IA the County Board is con

interest Of All the tax payers in the
County, M far as their ability will al

WIRELESS WILL Be
BIG FACTOR IN WAR,
AYERS GEN. ALLEN
Chief of Signal Corps Tells
of Value of Stations AL
ready Established.

According to Gen. James Allen, head
Of the Signal Corps OF the War De-
partment, the wirless telegraph is rap
idly taking its place as a means OF
transmission that is as safe, reliable,
and quick as the wire system.
The progress made in this line If the
Signal Corps work has been remark
able. Today the Government has es-
tablished a number of big wireless sta
tons all over the country, and each
one is proving useful. In Alaska alone
there are nine wireless stations operated
for commercial purposes. They net the
Government about 100000 a year.
I'm addition ito the progress that has
been made along commercial lines for
the wireless. in time of war the army
could be equipped with wireless appa-
ratus." said General Allen.
These temporary stations are useful
from ten to fifty miles, and would be a
great help in war. Orders from a gen.
erals tent to another branch of an
army miles away could be sent by wire
less. thus saving time, and possibly
life.'
The Signal Corps of the War Depart
ment Is giving this subject great study,
and with Major George o. Squier, an
expert, as one of the heads of the work,

MURRAY SEEKS TO
HAVE BANKS CARRY
LESS OVERDRAF rs
Comptroller Instructs Ex-
aminers to Have Prac-
tice Stopped.

Comptroller of the Currency Murray
Is trying to discourage the habit of
carrying overdrafts by the banks. He
has sent out a letter to examiners, call
ing attention to the State laws on the
subject, and a decision adverse to it
by the Supreme Court. In this letter
he says:
The overdrafts in national banks,
as reported on the call of the Comptrol-
Ter of the Currency, within the last five
years have been reported as high as
S., ,000, 900. and as low as $23, ,000, 600, with
an average for the five years of $780,
O00,O
Since the Currency Bureau was estab-
lished this office has persistently criti-
cised the granting of overdrafts with
the result that the banks in many
places have agreed to discontinue them
and have entered into a formal agree
ment to that effect.
THE legislation of the different
States, and the decision of the Su-
preme Court on the subject is brought
to your attention In order that you may
take the matter up with the banks in
your district"
