nearly all Of the issue had been taken
by men closely associated with the bank.
1t was said that George +. Baker and
James J. lIill were in a syndicate Of
wealthy men that took n large block Of
the bonds. II was also reported that
J. p. Morgan had taken a large block
Of the bonds. hut this was denied al the
Morgan offices. one OF the partners
said that he was not aware that other
members OF the firm had taken any Of
the bonds. Another rumor was that
Standard oil interests and John u.
Rockefeller had taken all or a large part
Of the bonds.
Thu price paid for the bonds by the
FIRST National Bank was the highest
that had been paid for several years
for the bonds Of this or any other STATE.

WITH NEW ARMY BILL IN SIGHT
CHANGES ARE NEG
ESSARY.
ADD TWO NEW REGIMENTS
In Territory Where Large Armories
Exist Steps Will Be Taken to Add
Another Company - Many
Promotions to Be Made.

Appleton-If the National Guard is
increased to 425,O00, Wisconsin will
have at least two more regiments.
While nothing has been given out
from the adjutant generals office, it
appears certain that If that increase
is made the Wisconsin Guard will be
entirely reorganized, so that regiments
can be concentrated in more of a
unit than they now are.
The increase will mean promotion
for many officers. Two more regi-
ments means ten new field colonels
and majors, meaning that ten captains
will be promoted.
What territory will be tapped to pro-
vide for the increase is a gamble. 1t
is probable that, wherever large arm
cries exist and there is belief that
another company can be raised, steps
will be taken for an increase.

NAY DIVIDE HIGH SCHOOL
Sneocyaan Principal Suggests Plan
TO Do Away With Overcrowded
Conditions.

Sheboygan-A plan to relieve the
oVercrowded condition of the high
school, which threatened to swamp
the school officials next fall, has been
submitted to the board of education
by Principal William Urban of the
high school. He proposes to divide
the school into sections and to have
half day sessions, the pupils doing
most OF their studyiug at home or
doing their work one. section at a
time at the industrial school, some
Wnat on the Gary plan.
The only other alternative is for the
use OF portable school buildings Eg-
cry inch of available space, including
the garret and basement, is now being
used, and the attendance is far be-
yond the seating capacity. BY next
fall, when an enrolment of $50 is ex-
pected, the high school building will
not be able to accommodate much
more than half of the pupils, in the
assembly room. An old residence is
now being rented for part of the
classes.
