STARTED ON ANOTHER TRIP
Antics of Explorer Made Him Persona
Non Grata With His Landlady
and He Had to Move.

On his return from long stay
abroad, a well-known newspaper war
correspondent took lodgings in a
quiet London suburb and engaged al
target practice with an airgun," firing
from the balcony of his sitting room
at a wafer stuck on the wall over the
dressing table in his bedroom.
The neighborhood, however was too
prim and genteel place Of sojourn TO
tolerate this irrepressible practical
Joker for any considerable length OF
time, and he soon had to leave it by
reason of his feats with the airgun.
One day he told the story OF his
somewhat abrupt departure.
That mischieyous secretary OF
mine" he says, pretended that |
could not knock the hat off cabman
doing on a rank in the square op-
posite to the house. | did, worse luck!
One of his mates saw me, and the long
and short of it was that had to COM
pensate cabby, and the landlady called
on me and, when she had seated her
self on a chair, began:
"T believe you are an explorer, Mr..
-?'
81 bowed, and murmured that some
fattering persons did me the honor OF
putting me down as something of that
sort.
In that case, sir, she exclaimed,

ploration for fresh apartments at once!

FL Paso, Texas.-Gen. Obregon,
Juan Amador, Mexican subsecretary
of foreign affairs, Gen. Scott, Gen,
Funston and A. j. McQuatters met in
the American conferees' car for an
other conference.
Before coming to FL Paso Gen. OBJ
regon told several newspaper men he
intended to make a cOunter-propOsal
to Gen. Scott. His proposal, he said,
was that Mexicans and Americans
should unite in policing the border,
as many Mexicans to be placed on the
American side as Americans on the
Mexican side.
Gen. Obregon denied that he had is
sued an ultimatum in effect in recent
conferences with Gen. Scott if Amerl'
can troops were not withdrawn from
border.
This, together with the report that
Carranza had agreed to a proposed
protocol, made the outcome of the
conference considerably in doubt.
The ordering out of three companies
of state militia and ordering of more
regular troops to the border compli'
Gated the situation further, and grave
fears are entertained that United
States Intervention may be only mat
ter OF hours.
Gen. Funston sent a long dispatch
to Gen. Pershing at the front, He
would not say whether the message
related to any new troop dispositions

SOUND BANKING

Banking Commissioner, A. E. Kuolt,
says that the banks of Wisconsin are
enjoying a good healthy growth. He
says:
"a review of the financial and in
dustrial conditions for 1913-14-15 in
this state. as reflected in bank state
ments for those years. reveals some
interesting deductions, which are
based solely upon the abstracts issued
by the state banking department"
said Commissioner Kuolt.
The total banking power of Wis
consin in 1913, with 132 national
banks. GAS state banks and IA trust
companies, was $427.4SS, ,47S.22. In
1914 the aggregate banking power
was SAP, ,5O4 ,S56.20, an increase of
$16,O21 1926. In 1915 the total bank
ing power was $47O,177, ,O7S.S1, an in
crease of $26,672, ,222.61.
"The last abstract issued by the
state banking department, for the
close of business May l. which covers
697 state banks, four mutual saving
banks. and 15 trust companies, was
271,7O4,252S4. This is an increase
of $27,2S6,937 in the banking power
of the state banks, which it should be
noted, is in excess of the increase of
the total banking power of 1915, with
the national banks included"
