Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-

CHIPPEWA FALLS, WR.

July IA, 1918.
ED. EAGLE: We arrived here
Saturday morning, spent Friday
seeing the sights in Chicago.
The weather has been cool and
hne ever since We left Oxford.
Here the weather is ideal, it is
400 miles north west Of Chicago
and 100 miles from st. Paul.
You will remember Mr.. and Mrs.
Duncan the people who came TO
see US four years ago, they are
royal entertainers and treat US so
elegant that we don't want to
leave at all. Each day they took
US for q drive in the auto TO some
new section OF the country and on
yesterday we put on light over
coats and wraps and they felt fine
too.
This northern Wisconsin coun-
try, as well as the entire state. is
a wonderful country; one of the
most beautiful in the Union and
one of the most progressive. 1t
IS country where every one is
well tc do and many of them very
wealthy, a country where there
are no poor folks. Just think OF
i'll No mortgages on land or
crops, no supply merchants; eve-
ry fellow pays cash, he pays his
bills by check on the bank. The
banks are prosperous, every
business is prosperous.
But there's reason. eyery-
toty works, the rich and the
poor, this is no place for drones,
oilers and dead beats, the move
on" order has be N rigidly en-
forced always here. There are
no social strugglers here. e ,ery-
body that is honest is rs good as
anybody else. They have ele-
CANT public buildings, schools
elegant and costly. humane in
stituuons and the finest roads in
the middle northwest
They spend more money on
public improvements IN a year
than We do in 1--WE, ana they sim.
ply make it out Of no greaIer re-
sources than we have. In fact
the winters are very cold here
and for months they are shut in
but this over and they are on the
hustle. They raise oats, barley.
rye, potatoes, corn, hay (timo-
thy and clover being the main
hay crops), and this all grows
ine. Wheat grows fine but an
insect years ago caused them to
quit raising wheat.
Dsirying Is an enormous indus
iry IN this state, fine cattle can
be seen on every farm. The lum-
Der business IL also great in
dustry but not - large as years
ago.
The raising of beets is a big
industry here and beet sugar
factories are everywhere. Sho.
factories are here in abundant
and in fact these people do eve, y
thing that makes big business.
II follows that a people who
have developed so great a state
are very intelligent in business.
Every man fersilizes what he
makes, he knows every market;
he sells to the very best advant-
age, he keeps informed, he never
acts on theories, he knows what
he is doing; he is fully informed
as to what he can get for his la
Dor. Ii We just had a few OF
these hus,lers with u.s. one in
each community, they would help
US revolutionIze our state in less
than ten years. A trip here by
our farmers and business men TO
see the people who do things
would be a great investment.
We leave for St. Paul and Min
nespolis Saturday. Will write
from time t. time.

NO CEREMONY FOR
CLOSING OF SESSION
Two Houses of Congress Simply
Will Notify President That
They Are Ready to Continue.

AT noon tomorrow the long special
session of the Sixty-third Congress will
expire by limitation, and the second, or
regular. session. will begin.
The old session will die without re-
grets and without ceremony. 1t will
simply lapse with the beginning of the
regular session. The announcement in
each house that the second session has
begun will mark the passing of the eX-
traordinary session and the beginning
of the new. The President will be noti-
fled the two houses are in session.
Members of House and Senate who
have been absent from Washington re-
turned to the city yesterday and today,
preparing for the regular session.
The special session has lasted practi-
cally eight months. Save for the pas
sage of a tariff bill and the initiation
OF a currency bill, il has been almost
q ''do-nothing'' session, although sew
eral important matters were passed on
appropriation bills. Thus, the Com
merce Court was abolished, deputy
marshals and collectors we're taken out
OF the classified service, the Erdman
act for the arbitration Of disputes be-
tween railroads and their employees was
changed. and the lobby and West Vir-
ginia coal mine strike investigations
were conducted.
Throughout the special session no end
of important general legislation was
held back. The house has ben without a
quorum much of the time. Committees
of both houses as a general rule have
lain idle.
Indication are that the regular session
will last until August or September.
1t has been agreed that both houses
shall meet IN joint convention at 1
o'clock Tuesday In the House to hear
the President read his first annual mes
sage. ...'.
The Democratic caucus in the Senate
has given the edict that unlxSs the cur
rency bill is passed by Christmas there
will be no holiday recess.

BANK GUARANTEES
FAVORED BY CAUCUS
Session Tonight Is Expected to
Clear Up Mooted Points in
Currency Measure.

The Senate Democratic caucus will
meet again tonight and wrestle fur
ther with the currency bill. The six
Administration Democrats on the Sen
ate Banking Committee are at work
today trying to dispose of six points
in the measure which the caucus has
directed them to work out.
The caucus met last night. but found
it impossible to agree on several
mooted points and IL was decided to
turn them over to the committee in
the hope that an adjustment might
be reached and a bill agreed on by
the time the regular session opens at
noon tomorrow. 1t is uncertain
whether this can be done, and il may
be Tuesday or Wednesday before
the caucus finished its work.
Public Ownership Opposed.
The Democratic caucus has decided
against public ownership of the re-
serve banking system and against
public control of the directorates of
the regional reserve banks. The Fed
eral reserve board is to be publicly
controlled, but the banks are to DOM
mate the regional bank directoratcs
One of the chief troubles of the eau
Gus is with respect to the location of
the regional banks. Because Senator
Hoke Smith wants Atlanta to get a
regional bank, and some of the other
Senators want regional banks in their
localities, there is a lot of pulling and
hauling over this question. 1t may be
necessary finally TO leave this to the
Federal Reserve Board.
Guarantee of Deposits.
The committee was directed TO pre-
pare an amendment for guarantee of
bank deposits. The question of retiring
the new currency was referred to the
committee yesterday. A new bond re-
fund plan, involving some of the fea-
lures of the Hitchcock plan, has been
suggested by Secretary McAdoo. and
the committee is taxing this up. One of
the questions the caucus has not yet
settled is whether to pass a binding
resolution which will tie Democratic
Senators to the support of the bill.
The number of regional reserve banks
still is undecided. 1t may be left to the
Federal Reserve Board with the min
imum fixed at eight and the maximum
at twelve.
