Now that the stairway from the out
side of the Hubbard building has been
built into the basement, the Dalrym-
pie Billiard Parlors have not only bet
ter air circulation, but the general as
pect of the parlors have been greatly
improved on account of the extra light
from the stairway ON High street. This
has also been of advantage to the shay

The prune business in Salem is rath-
er up in the air On account of the short
age of cars. There is very little selling
or shipping and it is almost impossible
to sell jobbers in the east as there is
no certainty as to when cars will be for
warded. And even after the cars are
loaded and started on their way east,
there is no assurance of delivery Many
shipments have been held up 60 days,
others held when almost within sight
of the terminals near New York city, as
at the end of the line everything in the
shipping line is congested and cars re-
main unloaded. California is in just as
bad a condition from the shol age of
cars as this section of Oregon. Hence

Advertising in the NEW Today" col
umn is risky business as the ad often
brings customers for several days after
the advertised article is sold and. then
lot of people are disappointed and
then it takes lot more time to explain
things. Bayard Findley advertised in
two issues of the Capital Journal sew
eral days ago that he had Ford for
sale. The paper had hardly been issued
when business picked up with the young
man and within a short time his Ford
car had been sold at a satisfactory price.
But the trouble just started for ever
since then young Findley has been
kept busy telling folks that he is entire
ly out of the automobile business and
that he hasn't any more second hand
Fords to sell.

LEGION Meeting
GREAT SUCCESS
NekO0sa Citizens Out Enrnasse to
Show Their Loyalty to Their
Country.

The village of Nekoosa never had a
larger gathering in the history of the
village than it did Monday afternoon
at 3 o'clock at the Gymnasium room
in the high school building. Sousa's
band was present as advertised and
furnished excellent music The school
building was not sufficiently large to
accommodate the people present. Mar
tin Gillen of Racine, E. C. Pors of
Marshfeld, and L. NJ. Alexander of
Port Edwards addressed the meeting
on the subject of Liberty Loan Bonds
The patriotism manifested by those
present and the many responses to the
purchase of Liberty Bonds at the close
of the meeting were all evidences of
The American spirit of the good peo-
pie of Nekoosa and vicinity.
Sousa's band and the speakers on
this occasion then left for Grand Rap
ids where a similar meeting was held
in the Amusement Hall the same ev-
ening.

The Bank that does things for you
When VIII the World War Close?

We believe the signs of the times
in relation to the foreign war point
very strongly to the fact that Ger
many wants peace, but don't know
just how to obtain it without great
sacrifice. They are making no pro-
gress in any direction, but to the con-
trary, on the west front the English
and French are crowding the Germans
back constantly The mutiny that has
been taking place in the German Navy
is strong evidence of the fact that the
German people themselves are dis
satisfied with the present conditions.
We believe if the full truth were
known that the condition among the
German people at home is such that
they are making a demand on the
government to bring the war to an
early close
While this IS all true and peace may
be near at hand there should be no let
up by the American people in buying
Liberty Bonds and doing everything
possible to make Americas influence
felt on all nations thruout the world
Our money strength accompanied by
our willingness to support and stand
by the U. S. Army with our last dol
lar, is what will win the war and bring
it to an early end. The people of
Grand Rapids have been doing their
share nobly and well. While there are
a few of our German citizens who still
feel friendly to the fatherland and may
be little slow in deciding to invest
their money in Liberty Bonds no one
should be too hasty in charging them
with lack of patriotism until they have
full facts that convince them of this
conclusion. We would not want to
believe that any German American CT
tizen would refuse to buy a Liberty
Bond if they were able, simply because
the money would be used by the gov
eminent in prosecuting the war a.
gainst Germany. We don't believe
that any of our German friends want
to go on record that they will not use
a portion of the surplus funds that
they have accumulated in this country.
where they enjoy all the benefits that
accrue from the enjoyment of free IL

BRITISH CRUISER SUNK
STATEMENT ISSUED AT LONDON
SAYS DRAMA WAS TORPEOOEp,
Destroyer Goes Down After Collision
Two Officers and Twenty-one
Men Are Saved.

London, Oct. 24.-The British mer-
chant cruiser Drama has been torpe-
doed and sunk, it is announced off,
cially.
A British destroyer has been sunk
in collision.
Two officers and u men were saved
by the destroyer. No lives were lost

The announcement follows:
One OF his majesty's destroyers has
been sunk as a result of a collision.
Two officers and q men were saved.
His majesty's armed mercantile
cruiser Drama, Commander w. Moor
som in command, was torpedoed and
sunk on Friday. There were no cas-
ualties'
(The Drama, 1922 tons gross and
551 feet long, was built in Glasgow in
1911. Before being taken over by the
British admiralty she was operated by
the Orient Steam Navigation company
of Glasgow. She was one of the small
British squadron which in March of
1915, off the Canadian Island of Juan
fernandez, sank the German cruiser
Dresden, which escaped at the time
the other vessels of the German Pa
citic squadron were destroyed by the
British in the battle off the Falkland
islands three months previously
Sir Eric GeddeS, first lord of the
admiralty, announced in the house of
commons that a cOurt-martial inquiry
into the recent North sea fight would
be held as soon as survivors of the
British destroyers Mary Rose and
StrOngboW were able to attend. He
promised a fuller statement of the ma
val action, in which the British lost
the two destrOyers, next week

expected will be lodged against the

Die to severe prosecution by the gov
eminent. Thank God this is a free
country and every man and woman
have equal rights under it's constitu-
ton. If any person enjoying the pri-
vileges that this government affords
who is unwilling to aid in it's defense
and propagation there are enough pa
tfiotic citizens without them who will
render help and support in time of
need. If person has plenty of money
that they have no use for and are I'M
willing to loan any part of it to the gov
ernment because they are ro-German
or afraid that they may lose it, ought
not to be encouraged to do so. The
buying of Liberty Bonds from the gov
eminent should be spontaneous and
freely done because they love to help
IN this great war which is on between
this country and Germany The buy
ing Of Liberty Bonds should be great
privilege that everybody should en-
Joy. The investment is perfectly safe
and it is not often that you may do a
favor for Uncle Sam. When you buy
a government bond you are doing
yourself favor by backing up and
helping the country in which you live.
The great privileges we enjoy every
day of our life has been made possible
by the Republican form of govern
ment under which we are protected.
The people in America control; they
make the laws and the President of the
U. S. signs them. They are enforced
by our great, just government. We
hope that every citizen of Grand Rap
ids, and Wood County, who is able to
buy bond will do so without co-er-
sion.

in patriotism that ought to be most
convincing and to make many a man
who has held aloof when his country

We BELIEVE

that a Bank is more than structure
of stone and steel and concrete that
its real security is founded upon other
things than bolts and bars and vaults;
that its standing and credit are en-
phasized by greater considerations
than capital and surplus that its
sources Of strength are far broader
than those which may be set forth in
dollars and cents.
These indeed are essential and i'm
portant, and we have them, but there
are other things more important.
We believe that Bank is an in
stitution of organized security and
strength, the guardian of commercial
fidelity and honor, the promoter of
prosperity, the servant of business,
wisely established for the convenience
and comfort of it's community. We
believe that its mission is TO SERVE;
On this platform we solicit your bu-
siness, no matter how small or how
large.
