The Bank that does things for you
Plover-Grand Rapids Highway

The sentiment in Grand Rapids is
somewhat divided between the river
route to Meehan and the Plover road
route to Maehan. At a mass meeting
held recently the farmers residing
along the PIover road between Grand
Rapids and Meehan were a unit in
favor of making the Plover road the
State Highway while some of the CT
tizens in Grand Rapids, Biron and the
club houses favored the river route,
From Grand Rapids to Biron there is
already macadamized road in first
class shape and the scenery along
the Wisconsin river to Meehan is beau
tiful. The further fact that the PIover
road has always been in very bad
shape from Grand Rapids to Meehan
is another reason why the Grand Rap
ids people favor the Biron route. Now
that the state highway will undoubt-
edly be located on the Plover road it
will stand the people of Biron and
Grand Rapids in hand to get busy and
complete the macadam road from Biz
on to Meehan along the river. This
will give US two excellent highways
from Grand Rapids to Meehan. From
Meehan to Plover and Stevens Point
our Portage county friends will GER
tainly take care of the highway from
that point. Everybody will be de-
lighted to know that the highway
from Grand Rapids to Stevens Point,
via Meehan and Plover, is going to be
macadamized and put in first class
shape for travel.

saifss "a the t, ). asagta asking sIist
great body to axpeli him OH account
of the things he said in his St. Paul
speech recently, he faced his collea-
CUES and all that opposition with a
speech which will go down on the rec
ords Of Congress, asone Of the most alb
lsthat has ever been delivered by one of
the members Of that body. He sup
ported and emphasized in that adj
dress every statement that he ever
made since the war was commenced.
He takes nothing back and persists
that he is right even though the whole
world be against him. Such nerve
and eloquence was commended by the
large audience present even though
they disagreed with him.
In spite of his eloquence and ability
and the apparent we'll laid foundation
for the position he takes we do not
agree with him and cannot side with
him in his position in spite of the fact
that he believes himself wholly right
in his premises. With our country
in the midst of war with a foreign
nation, no man should stand up in the
U. S. Senate and say that the Presi-
dent of the U. S. supported by Con-
gress are wrong and take the stand
against them in saying that he is right
and all the rest are wrong This coun-
try is standing for one of the greatest
ideal principles known to man-that
Of universal democracy and peace. La
Toilette is eloquent, able and majestic.
and may be partially right as far as
the constitution of this country is
concerned, but he is wholly wrong in
trying to stay and prevent his coun-
try from accomplishing the present
undertaking in giving to the world uni
versal democracy and peace, by fight
ing to aid Germany in accomplishing
its purpose in establishing one great
autocratic power which they are now
trying to accomplish. We cannot
agree with the Senator in his position
and we belive that the time is com
ing when he will be obliged to pay
the price that comes to those who
stand against themselves, their home
and their country.

according to Foreign Minister Pueyr-

with Germany will be broken if suffi-
Client cause arises, but as long as Ger

Much surprise has been OccasiOned
in political circles here by the fol-

made by the foreign minister of Uru-
quay in urging the Uruguayan CON
gress to break off relations with Ger
many.
Uruguay, as a small nation between
two great ones, must seek balance
of force to resist the possible hege-

we will have questions which are
not settled definitely The balance
consists in bringing closer together
Brazil and the states of our connection

BUY A LIBERTY BOND

President Wilson, in a recent ad-
dress to the people of the United
States said:
Upon the farmers of this country,
in a large measure, rests the fate of
the war and the fate of the nations"
In every crisis it is the farmer that
the people of this country have turned
for help because the farmers have new
er failed them. The opportunity to
serve his country has come again.
The second issue of the Liberty Loan
for $3,OOO,OOO,OOO is being foated and
Washington looks to the farmer to do
his share, to buy freely.
Marshall Forrest of Chicago, who
is booming the sale of these bonds in
the country districts of Illinois, calls
attention to the increased production
of grain in the state, especially oats
Throughout the entire seventh federal
reserve district this crop has been a.
bove the average, to say nothing of
the increased price received for it.
The farmers have the money; their
crops are garnered; their profits
should be invested in these Liberty
Bonds. 1t is inconceivable that they
will hold back for a moment in such a
crisis as we are now passing through,
for every dollar put into Liberty
bond is an effective blow struck at
autocracy as represented by the enc
my of the United States.

since we were schoolmates together at
Madison, cannot help but appreciate
his ability and honesty of purpose in

that he is right. His speech in the u

Many a man thrust upon his own
resources by losing job has lived to
ing-point in his life, and has blessed
what seemed at first an untoward G.
vent, affirming that instead of being in
ured by it he was kicked upstairs.
Nations are like men It is good for
them to be thrown upon their own re-
sources. The United States has grown
inmany things to be too much depend
ent upon Germany. In American in
dustries highly beneficial results have
followed the cutting off of German
SUPPLIES consequent upon the war.
Fumes from coke ovens, that went to
waste in this country before the war,
now a reconverted into valuable pro-
ducts, such as toluol, benzol and naph-
thaline, by methods improved by Amer
lean ingenuity. Last month more than
$13 100000 of new capital was author
lied for enterprises for the manufac-
ture of chemicals, drugs and dyestuffs
In July the amount reported was S1O,-
215,000. In these figures only compan
les with capital of $4,000 and over are
included. Since January, 1915, the to-
tai new industrial investment in chem
icals, dyestuffs and drugs has amount
ed to $3.50, $40, 900.

One big element in the German pro-
paganda in this country is to create
false admiration for Germany. If
the pro-Germans can spread fattery
enough about Germany it is easier for
them to picture everybody else envious

ing war in order to destroy a success

FAIR TREATMENT FOR PORTAGE
COUNTY

Editorial from Stevens Point Journal.
If one were to say that it is even
suggested in the office of the state
highway commission that a trunk line
highway be built across the center of
Portage county and not touch Stevens
Point, the statement would scarcely
be believed. Yet that is just what
the tentative plan of the state COM
mission proposes and unless there is
immediate awakening to the situation
and emphatic statement of the needs
of this city and county to those who
in power, Stevens Point is in danger
of receiving the treatment it got at
the hands of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul railway, which built line
acros this county within eight miles
of Stevens Point and did not come
into this city, or to make the illustra-
ton even more apt, it. may be treated
just as it was by the Green Bay &
across this county within eight miles
the county, and put Stevens Point on
spur. That is axactly what the state
commission is thinking of doing-put
ting Stevens Point on a spur from
Plover
People of this city and county do not
object to consideration shown by the
commission in it's tentative plan for
the neighbor city of Grand Rapids.
Grand Rapids has powerful politicians
It has wealthy interests which give
employment to engineers of the state
university. It is the residence of the
division engineer who has jurisdiction
over this county and who to a certain
extent speaks for this county as we'll
as for Wood. 1t was certain that
Grand Rapids would not be overlooked
by the commission, and we find that
the state board has made our neigh
boring city the hub of three fine high
ways, one to Marshfeld, one to Plover
and one to Madison. To get all this
not the slightest effort by that city
was made at the time of the hearing
at Grand Rapids last Friday. All the
people of Grand Rapids were asked to
do at that time was to appear at the
court house and learn the nice things
which the commission proposed to do
for them and to listen with amusement
to the contests of the farmers and vii
layers over local features of the routes
contests which did not concern Grand
Rapids seriously as in any case it
would be the terminal Stevens Point
people congratulate their neighbor on
being so we'll taken care Of We are
not envious.
All we do ask is that main route
be not built across the center of this
county from east to west or north to
south, with one-third the cost to be
paid by this county, without going
through the county seat and center
of population of the county, a city
of $4,000 people, the largest city be-
tween Oshkosh and Eau Claire, the

HONORABLY
DISCHARGED

Walter Baruch, son Of Mrs. I. Bar
UGH, who formally resided on Wash
ington Ave, in this city, has been
honorably discharged after serving
his four year enlistment in the U. S.
Navy.
Mr. Baruch enlisted at Milwaukee
in 1913. Since that time his promo
ton has been steady in the Navy, be-
ing discharged with the rating of LIST
Glass Electrician and recommended to
the rating of Chief Electrician. Dur
ing the period of his enlistment, Mr..
Baruch has had charge Of very res
ponsible position in his rating as Ell
ectrician.
''The Navy is what man makes
it," said Mr.. Baruch. He is we'll sat
isfed with the benefits he has derived
from his four year enlistment, and
contemplates re-enlisting for the re
mainder of the war, after which he
will most probably go into business
in New York City. He has saved
neat little sum out of his earnings with
which to start his civilian life in the
business field.
Mr.. Baruch shipped on the U. S. S.
Nebraska, has made four trips to
France and numerous other trips to
different parts of the world, meeting
all classes and nationalities. He will
visit friends and relatives in this city
for a few days after which he will
go to Milwaukee for a short visit and
then return to New York.

Wausad and By far the fastest grers
ing city IN this section Of the state at
this time We ask that the main
route from east to west, if it must be
detoured Is miles to touch Grand Rap
ids, do not pass Stevens Point without
coming in. Stevens Point preferes
that there be road Waupaca to
Marshfield through this city, if the
committee and the commission feel
they can grant it. But if they cannot
give US direct route to Marshfield,
if they feel that Stevens Point people
must be required to go through Grand
Rapids on the way to Marshfeld, then
we ask that the road be built directly
from Wausau to Stevens Point along
the 500 line and go from here to Grand
Rapids. This can be done without
more new mileage than needed to con-
struct the road from the Moore barn
to Waupaca.
Portage county people should make
themselves heard before this matter
is decided by default against them.
The commission, the committee, the
governor, the state engineer, the divi-
sion engineer, everybody in authority,
should be made to understand that
there will be bitter disappointment
here and sense of injustice if a trunk
line either north or south or east or
west be built across the center of this
county which places this city on spur
four or five miles off the main line.
