With Lenders.

New York, Dec 1.-THE firm of ]. 2.
Morgan & Co. has withdrawn the pro-
posed sale Of $5O,O0O,OOO Of British and
French treasury bills, according to in
structiOns received from abroad
The announcement was contained in
the following statement:
eve have been instructed by the
British and French governments to
withdraw their treasury bills from sale.
We have accordingly expressed to
those institutions and investors which
had already placed orders with us for
these securities the wish to be released
from the obligations to deliver and
they have been good enough to accede.
'"This action is because, as explained
by the British chancellor Of the ex-
chequer and by the French minister Of
finance, these governments desire to
show every regard to the federal re-
serve board, a governmental body of
which the secretary of the treasury
and the comptroller of currency are

High Price Of Flour REEVES Mill
Grindino.

Dodgeville Sun Republics: Grist
mills turnout the country are busy
again, after being abandoned for many
years, and in some places feed mills are
going into the flour milling business
and attracting many customers.
The high price of flour is causing the
revival of activity. Rather than pay
the present price for the Minneapolis
product, farmers are taking their wheat
to mill and hiring it ground.
An example of the old industry made
new is the feed mill at Blanchardville,
which has lately installed apparatus
for making -four. Illinois Central
freight officials are enthusiastic over
the business which they are getting out
Of it, as the shipments made by farm
ers to this mill are very heavy.

Of cities, local associations or com :
mittees affiliated with the state associa
ton will retain half of their seal sale
for the financing Of local work. In the
majority Of instances, the money will
be devoting to the salary of school

already established in others the
1916 sale will be used as means of
securing the nursing service.
The mail sale, which was tried out
last year as an experiment, proved such
a success that at least twenty cities in
the state will use the plan this year.
1t has been found that business men
especially appreciate the convenience
of the mail sales plan and that in this
way a maximum IF people are reached
in minimum of time, thus greatly
facilitating the campaign by personal
solicitation.
In order to meet the expected de
mand for seals, tie Wisconsin associa

CHRISTMAS SEALS
Wisconsin Will Work to Lead
Nation.

With the first shipment Of Red Cross
Christmas Seals out of the Milwaukee
office of the Wisconsin Anti Tuber
culosis Association to the local cam
paign managers in all parts OF the state
this week, the 1916 seal sale will be in
full swing.
The sale of five million seals and the
accumulation of five million pennies
for continuing and extending the fight
against tuberculosis in Wisconsin is
the goal which has been set. With a
strong determination to regain for
Wisconsin the place which it lost to
New York last year for the first time
in the history of the national move
ment for financing the fight against
tuberculosis by the sale of seals, the
campaign has been organized both
earlier and more extensively than in
preceding years.

Bills Attack Hiqh Prices.

Four bills designed to touch the high
cost of food were introduced by Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald of New York Two
propose a food embargo. One would
regulate transportation of cOld-StOrage
foods and another would regulate the
admission Of farm products and man
ufactured foOdstuffs to the parcel post
and reduce the rates on food.
1.-The enactment of either of the
bills" said Representative Fitzgerald,
twill bring immediate relief to the
country. The people want action
they are heartily tired Of talk and in
vestigatiOns.'
A mass Of petitions was filed in
favor of the legislation.
One embargo resolution would pro-
hibit expectation of any farm product
or manufactured fOodstuffs for one
year. The other would empower the
president to suspend expectations
whenever prices become eXtortionate
and public interests require. Both
bills would provide for shipment of
food to Americans abroad or to peo-
pies made destitute by the war, pesti-
lence or other extraordinary events.
Congressman from industrial CEN
tiers favored the price-cOntrol plan
Representatives of the farming dis
tricts walled against the bills and
threatened munitions embargoes if
they are molested in their pros
perity.
Further action in the senate was
promised by Senator Lewis of Illinois.
He said he would introduce a bill to
provide that the government be en-
powered to seize fOodstuffs on which
corner is attempted, condemn them
and then resell to the public.
Other food bills introduced includ-
ed joint resolution by Representa-
tive Lindberg of Minnesota, proposing
a special congressional committee to
consider all food embargo measures
and report to congress by Feb
ruary 20.
Representative Emerson, Ohio, in
troduced a resolution for report by
the secretary of agriculture on the
ACCESSIBILITY Of a wheat embargo and
legislation on shipment of foodstuffs.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
Regarding the Mailing of Christmas Parcels.

Regarding Mailing of Christmas Parcels.
We believe it unnecessary to 60 into detail in ex-
planning the importance of mailing Christmas par
cells early. The post office patrons doubt
realize the great volume Of parcel post matter that
passes through the local office during the holiday
season. and this volume is increasing each year,
it can be readily that the difficulty in hand
ling is also increased While it is the purpose of
the postal employees to give prompt and efficient
SERVICE the cooperation of the public is necessary.
AS parcels may be endorsed with DO not open
before Christmas or similar inscriptions,
quest that parcels be mailed at the earliest date
possible Wrap parcels securely; address plainly;
be sure each parcel has the and address of
sender.
Any information that the public may desire re-
garding Christmas mailing will be gladly fur
nished at the Post Office.

Washington, Dee. 5.-COngreSS as
sembled promptly at noon for the short
session which will mark the closing OF
President Wilson's first term. With
crowded program of legislation fore
most in which is the presidents plan
for railroad legislation, senators ana
representatives settled down to work
as Speaker Clark and Vice President
Marshall brought down the gaVels.
The opening was marked by the
usual flood of bills and resolutions,
many of which are expected to die IN
committee with the congress itself
March f.
Energies of the administration lead
ers were at once concentrated on the
passage of the big supply bills neces-
sary for conduct of the government
and on a limited program of general
legislation.
Wilson Out Playing Golf.
Led by Vice President Marshall,
many senators and representatives
called at the White House to pay their
respects to President Wilson, but he
was out playing golf.
The senate took recess until three
o'clock to recOnvene for the swearing
in of three new members-WatsOn of
Indiana, Fernald of Maine and Kirby
of Arkansas.
Suffragists Fail to Appear.
In the house members stood and
cheered when Speaker Clark dropped
his gavel. Galleries were only partly
filled and a threatened invasion by suf-
fragiStS failed to materialiZe. Demo-
cratic Leader Kitchin and Republican
Leader Mann met in the middle OF the
chamber and exchanged greetings. T.
w. Harrison Oem.) Of Virginia was
seated as successor to Representative
Hay, who retired.
Representatives Kitchin, Fitzgerald
and Mann were appointed Il commit
tee to join Senators Kern and CALM
ger to go to the White House to notify
President Wilson that congress was in
session.

Speaker Clark asserts that the next
house, elected last month, will show at
least PIG Democrats without Scully Of
New Jersey Or Beakes of Michigan. He
comedies 213 to the Republicans. These
figures do not include the independent
group of four, which, with the two in
doubt, make a total of 49,.
1--WE have the control of the house
without any doubt" said the speaker.
Foremost is completion of President
Wilson's railroad Legislation program
left unfinished with the passage of the
AdamsOn law. The remainder of the
program which the president will press
includes supplementary legislation to
prevent such u nationwide railway
strike as was threatned last summer,
or in fact a lockout, until the situation
has been investigated.
