ENGLAND'S FINANCES

OuCH security DIS tH0 DIlClSu SOF-
eminent has placed behind it's latest
| $3.50 900, 900 short-term loan in this
country was never before heard Of,
in the case of a government of the
highest financial standing only 2k
years ago, says an eastern exchange.
Collateral to the amount Of $3OO,OO0,-
900 placed on deposit in New York
proves that the British government, in
order to borrow money in neutral
market where lenders are not forced
to invest in securities they may not
want, is reduced to the level of any in
dividual in the matter of credit. An
unsecured British promise to pay is
no longer marketable in America.
This fact is not in the least discredita-
BILE to Great Britain; it shows simply
the effect of that countrys unparal-
leled financial exertions over a period
of two years in carrying on the war.
And the war is now more expensive
than ever. In the present battle of
the Somme, every shell fred costs not
less than SIS, and millions of shells
are fired each week If the war
should still be in progress a year
hence, British borrowing in this coun-
| try would undergo probably further
, transformations of a highly interest
! ing character. Already American
loans to the English government alone
amount to $3.50, 100000. We are stead
| lily drawing over here England's gold
supply and the sum Of our securities
once owned in England has been now
reduced by more than $1,000,0O0, 00o
through liquidation in our market.
Meanwhile English purchases Of sup
plies in America continue on great
scale and the balance of trade, So
| called, is sure to run very heavily
against England to the end of the war
Our financial relations to England
when peace comes will present an as
founding contrast to the situation that
existed in the first part of 1914.

SHEAR NONSENSE

Boost, and the world boosts with you,
Knock, and you're on the shelf;
For the world gets sick of one who'll
kick
And wishes he'd kick himself.
Boost when the sun is shining,
Boost when it starts to rain.
If you happen to fall, don't lie there
and bawl;
But get up and boost again.
Boost for your own advancement,
Boost for the things sublime;
For the chap who's found on the top
most round
Is a booster every liIna.

Editors News In recent issue OF
your paper l read an editorial en-
titled where the Mistake Was
Made" In this article you point out
the mistake Russia made in not CIV
ing war correspondents more free
dom, ETC., and close with this para
graph: Publicity is great agent.
Light is a powerful antiseptic. The
DEVILS vital mistake was in making
the Bad Place dark"
Now, Mr.. Editor, you may be in
position to criticise, and justly, the
mode of procedure employed by the
Russians, the Germans and the allies
in carrying on war but very much
fear you overstepped your jurisdiction
when you attempted to criticise his
majesty as a business man. Remem-
Der when that poor devil started in
business there were no telephones
nor telegraph, no railroads nor auto
mobiles The entire world was pio-
neer country. All the capital he had
to start with was a poor scurvy snake
and few wormy apples. But today
he owns half the world and holds
mortgage on the other half. His
headquarters may be poorly lighted,
as you claim, but I fear a very large
percentage of us will find them all
right unless we change our tune and
that pretty darned quick.

WELCOME. TO THE VISITORS
FROM THURSDAYS DAILY

The Methodists have come from
avery city and village in the western
part of the state to hold their annual
conference in BaraboO Some have
never been here before while others
have attended the conferences in the
past. AS a result of their stay in the
city they will have an opportunity to
enjoy the beauties Of the model town
1t is the duty to every citizen to give
them welcome.
1t was about 1929 that the name
was given to the Wesleys and other
students at Oxford because of the me-
thodical manner in which they per.
formed their various engagements.
They visited the poor and the prisons
at regular intervals and in time they
became known as Methodists. From
the small beginnings of the founders
of the organization, the church has
grown to be a power in the world.
Wherever the sun shines Methodist
church spires point to the zenith. The
workers are pioneers, penetrating the
unknown in all directions, and the
work goes on with unabated zeal. The
Methodists were the first to bring
religious thought into the Baraboo
valley. On October 16, 1S41, seventy
five years ago, Rev. T. NJ. Fullerton
preached a sermon at the home of
William Hill, half a mile above the
ford of the Baraboo river, and since
that time the work has gone forward.
The church is one of the strongest in
the valley today and as the years I'M
fold no doubt it will keep pace with
the past. In Europe, in Asia and
other lands advance has been made
under the influence and direction Of
the great leaders of the organization.
No doubt those in attendance will
receive new inspiration at the con-
ference and return with pleasant rec
objections of week spent in Baraboo.

a REAL. QUESTION

At the Methodist conference, Rev
J. 8. Fulkerson, one of the speakers
en- Missions, and one who has spent
many years in China, in his address
brought out this most interesting ques
lion:
What is the most distinguish
: ing element of a civilized country?
This was the answer by the great
statesman of China:
The distinguishing mark of
civilized country is it's ability to
{ conserve and to cultivate the con-
structive forces of the world, and
its ability to eliminate and de-
stroy destructive forces.

On Tuesday evening, as Mr. and
Mrs. F. e. Brewer were fishing at
Devils Lake and trolling deep, Mrs.
Brewer had a strike and was aston
ished on pulling in her line to find
she had hooked what at first was
thought to be dog fish. The denizen
Of the deep, which weighed nearly
four pounds, was later declared by
Frank Cowles and Walter Curry, who
are familiar with the various fish that
inhabit the water of Devils Lake, to
be an eel-pout. Eel-pouts, or bur
bots, as they are also called are by
nature a deep-water fish, but a few
have been caught at Devils Lake. l..
P. Gerou hooked one weighing five
pounds four years ago, and Mr.. Cowles
states that he has caught them early
in the season. Others have occasion
ally been taken from the waters of
the lake. The eel-pout it considered
an especial delicacy in the fish line.

eAo pen OF REV. JOIN T1OWlduU, IL. ~.
The author of the article and Mrs.
Franklin Johnson of Baraboo attend
ed the same school at Conway, Mass,
many years ago. DR.. Rowland has
had nearly thirty-fve years of effect
i've service in Mexico as a mission
airy of the American Board and this
certainly entities him to speak intel
Agently on the real attitude of the
Mexicans toward this country.
The writer says the first real con-
tact between the two countries was
about seventy-fve years ago, when
the aggressive, energetic, but often
crude and conscientiousless wave of
humanity steadily pushing westward
the frontiers of our country met the
indolent, unprogressive and just then
completely disorganized Latin-Amer-
lean occupation. There soon followed
the accession of Texas, the ineffect-
ual attempt Of Mexico to reduce it to
subsection, the admission Of Texas in
to the union, the Mexican war and
the annexation of almost half the ter
ritory of Mexico remaining after the
loss of Texas. DR.. Rowland says
that the general verdict Of the best
former American historians appears
informed American historians ap-
pears to be that very serious in
Justice was done to Mexico by TAX
ing all the territory.
AS to the Gadsen purchase in 1853
of 45,535 square miles of Mexican ter
ritory for $1O,OOO,OOO, little is known
by the Mexican people at large. Many
consider the act as an unwarranted
connivance on the part Of their rul-
ers and the purpose Of the United
States to acquire more territory.
By the shifting of the Rio Grande
at Ell Paso tract Of Mexican land
was left on the north side of the
river. The question of ownership was
arbitrated but the verdict in favor of
Mexico was never allowed by the
Hunted States.
The investment of American CAPT
tai in Mexico has resulted in the prof
its coming to the United States and
! in the rush for territory the Ameri-
cans have secured much that would
in time have been taken by the ma
tives. The unlimited granting of
| subsidies caused the downfall of the
| Diaz regime.
Americans are considered brusque
| by the Mexicans. At one time the
conductors and other employees on
| the trains were Americans. The gov
eminent bought up f1fty-one per cent
of the shares of stock, required an ex-
animation in Spanish, and when the
Americans refused, they let them go,
thus ending to them an unbearable
situation.
The writer discusses the Tampico
incident and the occupation of Vera
Cruz, showing that this country was
a little hasty in certain steps taken.
The Mexicans claim they have
wounded Villa, executed Pablo Lo-
peg and policed the country. What
more are we expected to do?" they
ask.
AS to the Carrizal collision, the
Mexicans obeyed the orders given by
their government. They asked the
Americans to wait a short time, but
they would not, and the battle was
fought.
DR.. Rowland says the Mexicans are
tired of war and do not wish to fight
against the United States. A mu-
tl1aI understanding and svmnatha+io
patience would go far toward remov- |
ing the difficulties and solving the |
Mexican problem.

What Is Uric Acid ?
THE CAUSE OF BACKACHE,
RHEUMATISM, GRAVEL
AND SUDDEN DEATH.

Ever since the discovery of uric acid
IN the blood by Scheele, i'll 1875, and
the bad effect it had upon the body,
scientists and physicians have striven
10 rid the tissues and the blood of
this poison. Because Of its over
abundance in the system it causes
back2che, pains here and there, rheu-
xnatism, govt, gravel, neuralgia and
Bciatica. It was DIR. Pierce who Gis-
covered new agent, called "Anuric,"
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys-
sem. "Anurio" has proved to be 81
times more potent than I6thiG, and
consequently you need no longer fear
muscular or articular rheumatism or
govt, or many other diseases which are
dependent On an accumulation of uric
acid within the body. Send to DIR.
Pierce, of the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
qical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, for a
pamphlet on 0Anuric, ;" or send 10 cents
for a trial package of vAnuric Tablets"
If you feel that tired, worn out
feeling, backache, neuralgia, or if your
sleep is disturbed by too frequent
urination, go to your best drug store
and ask for. DR.. Pierce's Anuric Tablets.
They are put up in 50-cent packages.
Doctor Pierce's reputation is back of
this medicine and you know that his
wGolden Medical Discovery" for the
blood and his "Favorite Prescription
for the ills Of women have had a splen-
did reputation for the past fifty years.
Doctor Pierce's Pellets are unequaled
as Liver Pill. One tiny SasgGr- coated
