How long 1t will take the British
army TO consume the 100000 sticks
Of American gum contracted for by the
English Government has not been figured
out. but 1t il said that after months OF
patient practice the British Tommy can
almost keep pace with a native Yankee
even with gas mask on. The art OF
spearmint chewing was not an easy one
for the English soldiers to master. but
after King George set the example the
army took to young Americas favorite
CONNECTION In a serious way and now
indulge like old timers. The gum order
placed with the American Chicle Com
pany by Great Britain was for nearly
60,O0O,000 sticks and cost $35O.O0O
comparing favorably with some OF the
other war orders placed with American
concerns. AS this only gives about
twelve sticks to each soldier repeat
orders are expected, for at least hall
Of this would be consumed In practice

THE marvellous manner in which the

the Findncier. Whether we figure the
national income at S50,000.00 900 or a
larger sum, 1t is still true that the GER

Using Women Workers.

American Can persisted In moving for
ward In spite of the distinctly down.
ward trend and was one Of the Few rs
sues TO show a net gain on the day. The
only explanation for this seems to be
that the large holders are not willing to
release stock at this time. when the
company's earnings are so big. One
fact in connection with the Can organi-
cation which has escaped general notice
Is that its plants are not affected by the
current labor shortage. as the majority
of their can products are produced by
mechanical processes which call fol
comparatively few workers. This Is es-
pecially true Of its factories engaged In
manufacturing tin cans used for taicum
powders and allied products. Women
workers are employed in largo number
on the company's war orders. which
eliminates labor difficulties in these de-
partments.

U. S. Is ASKED FOR
CONDITIONAL LOAN
Underwriters of Bethlehem
Steel Bonds Providing
Against Failure.
MAY NEED 100000
Syndicate, However, Believes
1t Will BE Able to Place All
NAY NEED $2O,OOO,OO

The syndicate OF bankers and banking
institutions that has agreed to under
write the $50. 900 offering OF Beth,e-
hem Steel Corporation. three year 7 per
cent. notes yesterday asked the War FL
nance Board to advance up to 100000
900 should the syndicate fail to dispose
of all the securities. Such an advance
would be equal to about 40 per cent Of
the entire note Issue.
Members of the syndicate believe that
they will be able to place all the $50
900, 900 worth of notes with investors,
but as precautionary measure have
asked the War Finance Board for an ad-
vance in case the demand for the securi-
ties should not come up TO their eXpects-
lions.
In view of the knowledge that the syn.
dictate has asked for an advance Wall
Street was anxious yesterday to learn
whether the bankers and banks in the
underwriting syndicate had consented TO
lend their Endorsement to the notes on
which the War Finance Board is ex.
pected to supply funds. The Street was
particularly interested on this score owing
to recent declarations by bankers that
on corporation notes because 1t would
be unsound banking.
The notes are expected to be offered
at price to yield from IN to 7S per
cent.
Formal announcement of the Bethls-
hem Steel Corporation financing from
Washington together with the arrange
ments made in case investors should not
take the entire issue is expected to-day
or tomorrow.
In addition to the syndicate OF under
writer's which will handle the Bethlehem
financing and which includes the Guar
anty Trust Company. Bankers Trust
Company, Chase National Bank and J.
& w. Seligman & Co, there will be
a selling syndicate which will be ur-
usually large and consist of practically
every Investment banking institution Of
! Importance. Such a syndicate handled
| the previous offering of $50,000000 Of
notes by the Bethlehem Steel Corpora
ton in February, 1917.
| Investment bankers declare that the
| demand for high grade securities is very
quiet at this time. as evidenced by tho
! transactions in bonds on the floor Of the
| Stock Exchange. For this reason it is
believed that the members of the syndi-
cate will make unusual efforts to place
the securities with investors.
| 1t was learned yesterday that more
than 90 per cent. of the $57,735,000 OF
Brooklyn Rapid Transit notes have been
deposited under the extension plan re-
Gently announced. Inasmuch as the time
limit for the deposit OF the securities
| expired at the close OF business yester-
day application will probably be made
to the War Finance Board for permits

BOY IS FOUND
DEAD IN BARN

Earl, the adopted son of Mr. and
Mrs. SiIas Robson of Wilson Creek,
near Spring Green, was found hang
ing in the barn by a member of the
family a few days ago. The Spring
Green News says the boy was but II
years of age, and, although it has the
appearance of suicide, it is hardly be-
lievabIe that it was premeditated.
Children are gifted with extraordi-
nary imaginations and will play al
most anything which occurs to them,
OCCASIONALLY with tragic effect. An
hour before he was found dead Earl
was whistling at his play about the
yard, apparently as happy as any little
boy.
A resident of Spring Green says
that the boys brother was there just
a short time before the unfortunate
affair occurred. The name of the
youth before his adoption was Earl
SeversOn.

a time The effect is immediate and
Advantageous hair will be light fluffy

is as pretty and soft as any-that it
has been neglected Or injured by care

will double the beauty of your hair.

Meyer Is Honored

In football game at Waco Peggy"
Meyer of Reedsburg received much
praise for his efforts in winning the
game for his side. The game was
hard-fought from start to finish be-
tween the teams from Camp Funston
and Camp Macarthur, but the machine
like playing Of the 32nd team, aided
by Peggy" Meyers reliable toe, broke
down Funston's defense and scored a
clean-cut victory II to 6. Meyer was
the individual star of the game and
has been idolized by the soldier fans
since. The Waco Daily Times-Herald
has the following bit of praise for
Meyers ability:
Both machines manipulated a
touchdown, but it remained for Camp
Macarthur to uncover a phenomenal
drop kicker in one Peggy" Meyer
and to the unerring toe of this deli3-
crate kicker the local team can at
tribute their siX-point advantage.
Twice did Meyer boot the pigskin be-
tween the uprights, once from the 40
yard mark and the second time from
a distance of IS healthy strides. The
first three points clearly instilled an
uncOnQuerable spirit of logged determ-
nation into the entire Thirty-secOnd
eleven and from that moment, when
the ball barely tOppled over the goal,
there was a taste Of victory that takes
no denial At end Meyer was q star
of the first magnitude. Never in foot
ball in Texas has q player given such
a clever exhibition of guarding the
difficult position Of end. Down under
punts, breaking interference, tackling
and especially showing to an advan-
tage in tackling runners from behind,
this boy deserves special mention"
In recognition of Meyers good play
ing and because he is the only repre-
sentative of Company A on the Divi-
sional team, the members Of the COM
pany presented him a gold ring.

Of For France

Lieutenant Howard I. Potter, whose
home is on First street in this city,
has left for the battle front in France.
He is a graduate of the BarabOo high
school, of the University of WisCOn-
sin, and recently received his COM
mission as lieutenant at Fort Sheri-
dan. At Chicago he planned to join
a number of his comrades for the trip
to New York by the way of Washing
ton. In the capital he will be the
guest of his friend James e. Halsted,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. L. Halsted
Of BaraboO. Lieutenant Potter sails
from the port at New York or from
one near by and his destination is
France. He will report to General
Pershing, who has command Of the
American forces abroad. He will
probably have command of a detach-
ment in the infantry, and expects to
be in the trenches soon. A more act
i've, serious soldierly bearing young
man never left for the front. Before
leaving he was given many gifts, a
package of letters to be read on the
steamer and the good wishes of hosts
of friends.
Excellent reports are expected from
this young warrior, and it can be de-
pended upon that he will do his ut
most to crush the autOcratic force i'll
Germany-a force that knows no law
nc mercy, no humanity, no self-re-
spect. Those pacifsts, those pro-kaf-
csrites, those pro-autocratic believers,
should be moved when such brave
young men give up their business,
their pleasant surroundings, and
much more, to fight that France and
England may be saved for with their
downfall Canada would become a Ger
man province, the German fleet would
lombard our shores and America
would become an armed camp.
Those who prefer German methods
should go to Germany; all others
should stand by this country and cheer
the soldiers who are away to the front.
