GOATS RIVAL MEN
In Cleaning Things Up at Cedar
Point

George A. Bookings goats have
gone back to work. The herd, COM
posed of about 200 representatives of
the Angora species that thrives in
Missouri, has been enjoying a vaca.
tion since the middle of last June,
when the summer season started at
Cedar Point.
Mr.. Boeckling is president of the
Cedar Point company, operating Ced-
ar Point. He got the idea long ago
of having goats do cleanup work on
the resort grounds. He bought fifty
goats and turned them loose in the
thickets bordering the resort grounds
on the Sandusky bay shore. This
was two years ago.
So pleased was Mr.. Boeckling with
the work 10 more goats were order
ed. Goats born from time to time
have increased the total number to
200.
In the summer season the goats
are quartered on the Cedar Point
peninsula, about a mile from the re-
sort grounds. Here they live at leis-
ure. When the summer season ends
they are returned to the tract upon
which pleasure seekers have roamed
to clean up the muss the visitors
have made.

SOME DIFFERENCES
TO BE ADJUSTED
Negotiations For Foreign Loan
Nearing Completion.

New York, Sept. 25.-The close of
the second week of conferences be-
tween the Anglo-French commission
and American financiers saw the
formal negotiation stage over the for
eign loan very much nearer. So far
as the Americans are concerned, it
vas thought that they have declared
definitely their opinion of what should
be done, and it now remains with the
members of the commission to obtain
the authorization of their respective
governments for them to proceed
That does not mean that in the con-
ferences both sides have, come actual
1y in accord, but it does mean that
the proposals of the Americans diff
fer in some respects from those the
mission came prepared to hear and
therefore they must await further in
structions.
Open hostility to the loan is devel
oping in outside quarters. Following
the first of a series of anti-loan mass
meetings held by the American Truth
society, letters protesting against the
loan have been sent to President vii
son, State Treasurer Wells, Mayor
John Purroy Mitchell of this city, and
many other public officials. These
were signed by G. w. Mead of the
American Truth society.
If the loan is iioated guarantee
committee of bankers will be appoint
ed to assure its integrity to investors
