NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Though

loan proposal has "struck a snag" OF
some sort, local financiers would not
say the situation is deadlocked. The
foreign commissioners are reported to
be attempting to arrive at a compro-
mise. Local parties to the negoti-

the loan will go through.
WASHINGTON, Sept z3.-The al
lies must depend upon eastern banks
for their loan of a half billion or
more. Western banks cannot help
them, according to a treasury off
calls statement. Scarcely a bank In
Chicago, he said, dares shoulder any
portion of the loan, because they
fear strongly intrenched German in
terests. Other banks are involved
with packing and Rockefeller inter-
ests, both Of which are antagonistic
to the loan.

LIVE STOCK SPELLS PROSPERITY

Intelligent farmers and intelligent
sons of farmres are waking UP to
this profitable line of farming. We
believe the time not far distant
when our Legislature. will recognize. the
relation of live stock to our states
prosperity and will enact a law
exempting from taxation at least
one superior sire in every herd, on
every farm in the state. This.would
be for the distinct purpose of rec
ognizing his value to the state thru
services to be rendered, to its live
stock. 1t would tend to put the grade
sire so far in the background. where
he belongs, that he would eventually
become very unpopular on the farm.
The rural school is a generating
power house The principles taught
and instilled in the minds of youth
in time develop in increasing speed

AMUSEMENT HALL
MAY BE SOLD

1t seems to be the concenSHs of
opinion among the stockholders of
the Amusement Hall company that
the property will be sold this
spring. In talking with one of the
officers and principal stockholders
OF the Amusement Hall company on
Saturday afternoon, this gentleman
said: I'VE are going to sell the
amusement hall this spring if we
possibly can. We have inquiries
from some people who wish to estab-
lish a wholesale liquor house in this
city and We may sell to Them
1T has been suggested to US that
the city take over this hall as
place in which to hold pubic meet
lIgs, conventions, etc. In the event
OF the city desiring to take over the
amusement hall, the company would
make a most. reasonable conc ssion. in
the price to the city and sell at a
much less figure than we would to
outside parties"
This brings the matter up for
discussion and the Reporter respect
fully submits the proposition to the
citizens and also suggests that the
Merchants & Manufacturers associa-
ton take this matter Up and discuss
it at the next regular meeting
which viii be on Monday might, Mar.

sentiment of the people ON this
matter and The Reporter opens the

STOCK RAISING PROFITABLE

Indi vidual farmers and those com
posing communities, recognize that
there is not a line Of farming more
profitable than the raising of live
stock. More than other lines Of
farming it distributes the work of
the farm more evenly throughout.th the
year to all members of the farm ers
family. Better than ever before de
we understand the soil demands and
weave returning to it, with live. stock,
the greatest amount of fertility. Our
state is not excelIed in climate, rain
fall and soil for growing feed for its
flocks and herds.
STILL, as one travels up or down,
or across the state, viewing the pas
lures from the highway, or from. the
train, he is convinced that too many
of the rank and file of our farmers
have failed to use seed that has
been our great trouble in live stock
farming. Poorly bred live stock Of
ten proves Improbable TO raise "a
discouragement to the farmer rather
than help. Too often it is neither
bred nor fed right. Many farmers are
not keeping as much stock upon
their farms as they could profitably
feed.
Many farmers are trying to COM
vince themselves we are over taxed.
This may be true; but if wewould
consistently use only pure. bred sires
in our herds, properly feed such stool
raised, the tax money would be
easier raised, and profits greatly in
creased by the sales made from i'm
proved live stock.
This is not an idle dream, and to
prove it just go to the farmer hav-
ing high grade stock of any kind,
and see what it will cost you in
price above inferior stock. But
raising 1T ON our farm is the right
way to get it and in increased num-

From Stevens Point Journal
Normington Brothers Iaundries in
Stevens Point and Marshfield viii
hereafter be conducted on a differ
ent basis, although the change wiz
hardly be outwardly noticeable to
their large and growing list OF pa
irons.
The plants have been owned by
two brothers, J. j. Normington of
this city and F. H. Normington Of
Marshfield, each OF whom has had
personal charge of the business in
his home city. An arrangement Just
completed dissolves the existing
partnership and provides individual
ownership. of the two estabi shments.
J. ]. Normington remains as man
ager and sole owner OF the Stevens
Point plant, while Z. H. Normington
will be proprietor OF the one at
AIarshfieId.
Two others OF the Normington
brothers, j. E. and c. A. ARE owners
OF a Laundry IN Grand Rapids, but
they are not affected by the new ar
rangement as thier interests have
oeen separate from the others for a
number OF years.
The volume OF business at the
MarshfieId and Steven Point plants
has become SO large as to become
unWieldly under JOINT ownership. ana
as the properties aIe practically OF
the same value at was to the adyan-
Uage OF both brothers TO make the
change.

the three plants. This device is a
distinct improvement over old meth
DDS OF lannd ering collars and is be
ing installed in metropolitan laun-
dries all over the country. 1t has
two great advantages over other
machines OF its kind, one being that
it gives the collar a much better

Quite a number of the citizens Of

scribe the thing whatever it was
as a spot OF light travelling through

shaped affair" Still others say it
was a monoplane and others that it
was a biplane. Whatever it was it
certainly was out OF place, especial
ly if it were OF German origin.
