CURRENCY LAW
ASSET Of FARMER
{. P. Arpin, OF Grand Rapids,
is President of Wisconsin
Advancement Assn

Strong endorsement of the cur
rency law as a direct asset for the
farmer and a suggestion in view OF
ever increasing condition that the
people wake up and take a hand in
the political game were the two fea-
lures Of an address last night by
H A. AoehIenpah, Clinton, president
OF the Wisconsin Bankers associa-
ton, at the banquet of the Hotel
Wisconsin, Milwa lkee, that closed
the annual meeting OF the Wiscon-
sin Advancement association.
I'VE are on the eve of the great
est era in the history of the United
States. We have come out Of the
shadows OF doubt to the sunshine Of
certainty" he said The currency
law has brought this about.
$25,oo0,0o0 for Loans.
The day passed when the farmer
can not get loans For twenty-five
years l have lived under the fear of
panic that might come during the
independent banking system that we
formerly had And the fact that you
will now be able TO get loans is the
most real asset that you have. Under
the new law between $40, 0O0, 600 and
SIS, 900 900. that has previously been
tied up because Of the Is per cent
reserve clause, is released and can
be used by the farmers
He also touched on the question
of taxation.
Keep the Good; Throw Out the Bad
Il think the time has come for a
careful analysis of the situation,
he said 1T is tine for lis all to
take a hand in the political game
We are in debt for many progressive
movements, but it is time to wake
up; to take the good and turn out
the bad.
4 am also interested in trying to
work out plan to get the surplus
money in the southern part of the
state that is now going to develop
the Dakotas into the northern part
of this state''

tinued improvement of lighthouse SER

ed in money value to $35 ,000yO 900 in
British insured ships and cargoes
that were totally lost. On the Great

STATE AID
Of SCHOOLS
Grand Rapids may Join With
Other Cities in Industrial
Educational Work

Grand Rapids may join the ranks
OF those cities which have taken
advantage of the state aid in as
tabishing continuation schools. War.
rem E. Hicks, assistant for Industri-
al Education, of Madison, is in the
city and last evening met with both
the regular and industrial boards of
education and also with Mayor
| Cohen.
The sentiment is wholesome for
service TO persons who wish to ex-
tend their training and education
1t is likely that part time day and
evening classes will be open to men
and women in Grand Rapids next
September.
The tax levy for such a school can
not be greater than one-half mil.
On a five million dollar valuation that
yields $4,000
1t is estimated that Grand Rap DIS
may spend $500 on part-time persons
ii to is years old; $500 on those 16
to 20 years old; $500 on all day
pupils temporarily employed, and
$500 on evening classse A total of
$4,000. The state re-imburses the
city one-half of $4,000 or $1,000. The
expenditure of $4,000 as indicated
will serve 200 persons in the evening
so part time IA to 16 years old; so
part time Is to 20 years old and 20
all day pupils, making a total of
$50 persons.
This will be a splendid manner In
which to widen the service to the
greater use of public equip
ment and addition to the good name
of the schools.
Nothing preventing, the state will
hold open this opportunity TO Grand
Rapids until April l.
There are SO schools now in oper-
alton in the state. About $1,000
people are being served at this date.
The cities operating one or more
schools are:
Appleton. Beaver Dam, Beloit,
Cudahy, Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire,
Fond du Lac, Green Bay, GAINESVILLE.
La Crosse, Madison, Mani
towoc, Marinette, Marshfield, Me-
nash, Menomoniee, Milwaukee, Nee
nah, Oshkosh, Racine Sheboygans
South Milwaukee, Superior, Two Riv-
ers, Wausau, West Allis.
The opening of a continuation
school in Grand Rapids means that
those who have had to leave school
to go to work. and those who are
who would like to contin-
lie their education, may have the
opportunity. This is no doubt one
Of the greatest and most advanced
for the benefit of those
who want to obtain an education, but
whose circumstances have so far
been against their realizing their de-
sire

 Seeing no possibility of Man. njns being freed from his present wife by legal process the beautiful young strl decided to make one last appeal for her happiness and her future and it this failed to take other means of freeing her lover.
 She purchased a pistol and with this hidden fin hr muff she called on Mrs. Moaning.
