The brunt Of the burden probably
will fall upon the Federal Reserve
system. 1t has been predicted re-
Gently that the rediscount privilege
will be made use of to a greater ex-
tent than ever before. That the Re-
serve institutions are in strong po-
sition to meet the demands of the
member banks can be seen from re-
cent statements. When war was de-
clared, in April, the total bills held
by the twelve Federal Reserve banks
Of the country aggregated slightly
in excess of $10o,000,000. The
amount rose subsequently, as mem
Der banks awaited themselves of the
rediscount privilege, until it reached
a maximum of $435 ,287, 900 on June
%, week after subscriptions to the
Liberty Loan had closed. Since then
the total has declined to around
1885, 100000. In the same period the
proportion of gold reserve carried by
the twelve banks against their net
deposits declined from 70 per cent
on April to 55.9 per cent on June
Is. 1t recovered rapidly in the next
few weeks owing TO the steady de-
post of cash by the member banks,
as required under the terms of the
amendments to the Federal Reserve
law, which went into effect late in
June. The ratio now stands around
rs per cent. From this it can be
seen that, due to the new reserve re-
ouirements and also to the influx Of
around $130,0OO,OO0 in gold from
Canada, the great bulk of which was
deposited with the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, the Federal Re
serve system is in a stronger posi-
ton at present than it was on the
occasion of our entrance into the
war.

BLOOMINGTON YOUTH RUNAWAY.

A somewhat dirty and tattered boy
Of IA years stood before an officer in
the Chicago Juvenile detention home
last week and told thrilling story of
life on the western plains.
Frank Cody" was his name, the boy
said, and he went or to describe some
of the heroisms he had figured in
prominently and the hardships endur-
ed.
Questioned further he finally admit
ted that the above was a flip of his
Imagination and that his real name
was Bernard Donnelly, and that his
home was Bloomington, Wisconsin.
Bernard ran away from home two
weeks ago to see the world. His first
stop was Dubuque, but he was seen
there by relatives who put him on
train for home. Somehow or other
the boy went on to Chicago where, af-
ter g day or SO ne went, or was sent
to the juvenile home.
Relatives in Bloomington were mott
fed and last week Rev. Rupprechter
and Paul Donnelly went to Chicago
where arrangements were made to
place Bernard in a Catholic boys
home. There education and other sur
roundings may serve to efface the
dreams of what might have been.

Foreign

The Westphalian Politische Mach
richten accuses the American embassy
in Berlin of "hindering in every pos
sible way the work of American news
paper correspondents who are too pro-
German or insutticiently anti-German
for the embassy's taste.
The Overseas News agency of Berlin
gives out the following: "The Prelate
Knight Won Gerlach Mgr. Gerlach)
first acting private chamberlain to his
holiness, has been forced to leave
Rome and has arrived at Lugano,
Switzerland. He was the only Ger
man prelate in the pOpes retinue The
entente, through the intermediary of
the Italian government, urgently in
sisted upon his departure"
"We offered peace and meant what
we said. The offer was spurned We
shall fight on until that peace which
might have been gained by diplomacy
is won by our sword" In substance,
that is what Germany, speaking for her
allies Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and
Turkey-told the neutral world. The
note is, in effect, a reply to the en-
tente'S rejection Of that offer.

GOOD ROADS MEETING
STATE SECRETARY ADDRESSED
SMALL BUT APPRECIATIVE
AUDIENCE LAST FRIDAY.

Owing to bad weather only a small
gathering attended the good roads
meeting in Lancaster last Friday af-
ternoon
r. A. Cannon, secretary of the Wis
cons1n good roads association, was the
speaker and he made a very sensible
and interesting talk covering an hours
Time. Some of the things he brought
out follow:
The railroad cost of hauling per ton
mile is II Of cent ton. The average
cost to the farmer in getting his stuff
t" the railroad is 30 cents a ton.
Highways are identical in their
purpose and function to railroads
They all mean transportation.
The U. S. government figures give
the average cost of hauling per ton
mile as 33 cents.
Under good roads this cost has been
reduced to Is cents a ton mile. The
obvious saving is Is cents a mile.
After paying for the road the saw
Zig is still II cents a mile.
The average weight hauled on a bad
road is 1900 pounds. On a good road
it is 5,40O pounds.
Farm values on good roads in
crease from 40 per cent within one
mile of the road down to 20 per cent
three miles from the road. The in
creased value will pay for the roads
many times.
The state tonnage of all products
IN 1915 was 100000. Multiplied by
four miles as the average hauling dis
lance the total tonnage was 10000 900.
With a loss of ten cents per ton mile.
due to bad roads, the total loss was
$6,0OO,OOO.
Grant county has, excepting the
dairy products, 100000 tons of farm
produce each year.
"The zone of trade in a Missouri
town was extended from Z miles with
bad roads to eighteen miles with good
roads. Making in effect, the town Just
that much larger.
THE social life of the country is
enhanced by good roads and this is no
small part of the movement.
VI oAC anu w d1WOIIu COUNTIES l0dQ
the state with one automobile for
every thirteen persons.
There are $4,000 miles of roads in
the state, $4,000 of which come under
state supervision.
Wisconsin now spends $1O,OOO.OOO
yearly for roads. This sum eachyear
for ten years will build every road
needed. and leave margin if it is
spent properly.
1.-The state will receive $2,OOO,OOO
from the federal government during
the next four years to apply on good
roads. The state and counties must
each appropriate like sum.
1T is likely that all funds used in
the proposed trunk line systems will
be distributed according to trunk line
mileage in each county and not accord
ing to valuation as in the past. This
method will help the agricultural
counties
Many counties in the state are
bonding for good roads,
In conclusion Mr.. Cannon urged the
formation Of county organization to
handle the road question. He partic-
ularly called attention to what might
be done before the legislature at the
present session with a committee to
state the county's needs in the road
line.
