LITTLE BORROWED FROM
BANKS To BUY BONDS

The Federal Reserve Bulletin
says that one of the most encourag'
ing and gratifying features of the
third Liberty loan IS that apparently
there has been little use of bank
accommodation for the purchase OF
the bonds. 1t estimates that prob
ably more than so per cent of the
bonds are already fully paid for.
The financial statements of the
various federal reserve banks indi-
cate, according to the bulletin, that
not much borrowing from the banks
was done by the subscribers to the
third loan. They either paid cash
or bought on the installment plan.
This eases a great deal the bur
den of the banks, upon whose
shoulders rests the financing of the
business and industry of the coun-
NV.

IN CAESARS Steps
Allies Fight Germans on Ground
He Made Famous.
Campaigns Today Have Many strik.
lng Points Of Similarity to These
Fought by the Great Roman
Conqueror.

Over the same ground where Caesar
fought nearly 1900 years ago, and
with many implements Of war remark
ably like those used by his army, the
allies are fighting the Germans today,
says q writer In Pittsburgh Dis
patch. The foe Is the same in cruelty
and In oyerbearing nature, as any
school boy or girl who has read the
commentaries Of the great Roman gem
eral can tell you. How history repeats
itself and how important as well
as interesting Is the study of the
Latin language become since the war
Is illustrated in telling fashion by a
classical exhibit in the University Of
Pittsburgh.
Tn the exhibit. which was arranged
under the direction Of B. l.. Ullman OF
the State Classical association, Is
model of a bridge built over the Rhine
by Caesar. It was made from the de-
scription given by Caesar.
The bridge is almost exactly like the
temporary bridge the soldiers at
Plattsburg are now being taught to
make and on which they expect to
cross the Rhine as they go into the do
main of the kaiser.
The Roman ballista, used to throw
stones at the enemy, Is made exactly
on the same principle as the machine
used today to throw trench bombs.
Modern springs now take the place or
the twisted rawhide with which mo-
mentum was obtained by the Roman
machine. A model of the Roman bal
lista Is in the exhibit.
On the same principle Is the cata-
pult, used by the Romans to shoot ar
rows. Several of the weapons used by
the Roman soldiers, including sword
and spear, fOrcrunners Of the buyonet,
are much like those used in the pres
ent war. Models Of all these are In
this exhibit. There are also models
of the Roman soldier and Of the sol
dier Of today, both wearing headpieces
of metal much alike.
The boy who is reading Caesar car
tell you TINT Reims. whose wonderful
cathedral has been destroyed by the
Germans, was named from the Ram
tribe mentioned by Caesar and thai
Soissons takes its name from the Sues
stones tribe, conquered by Caesar. Tit
Commentaries are full of names made
familiar by the war going on toda!
and the schoolboy reads with adde'
interest how Caesar defeated Arrows
tus, king Of the Germans, and wol
other trlumphs on the same battl
front as that of the allies today. tn
wolf holes he describes are much llk
the traps used to ensnare and bewilde
the enemy now.
Other articles in the exhibit made b
students show what a wealth of Re
man tradition has been handed dow
TO us. The Roman fasces, shown o
the new United States dime, Is tn
original of the mace, the symbol @
power, used by the speaker Of tn
house Of representatives. The fasce
In turn, had It's origin in the stick
used by the Romans to fog Offender
and the AK used by them to cut o
the heads OF the worst Of them.

equipment requisitioned by the
government from the Oliver Iron
Mining Co. several weeks ago, has
been returned to Ironwood by the
military authorities and the mine
officials are busy preparing for the
immediate installment of the ma
chinery. The three carloads of
equipment were sent from here to
Schnectady, n. Y, where they
were held in reserve in the event
that the similar equipment sent to
France for a large ordnance base
now in construction there by the
Stone & Webster people, did not
reach its destination in safety. Ad-
vices were received of the safe ar
rival of the machinery in France
and the reserve equipment was then
dispatched to the Oliver company
here. .-Ironwood News Record.

COUNTY CONFERENCE AT
COURT HOUSE MONDAY.
Purpose of Meeting Is to Devise Plans
to Have Schools Help Furnish Sup
ply of Laborers for Farms.

A call from the State Council OF
Defense for a conference in Hurley
for the purpose of comforting or
how the schools can do their share
i'll furnishing a supply of laborers
for the farm has been issued. The
meeting will be held in the court
house at 10 clock Monday fore
noon, Jan. 21.
Besides school people it is de
sired to have present at the confer
ence the chairman and secretary OF
the County Council of Defense, the
chairman of the Labor Committee
of the County Council and the ag-
ricultural committee of that body,
and as many others as can be gath
cred together. Those who are re,
quesIed to be present as we'll as
those in the county connected with
school affairs and many others have
been notified to attend the meeting
Mr.. J. NJ. Dorian, of the depart
ment of public instruction, will be
present to represent the state au-
thorities and will have charge of
the meeting.
According to a dispatch from
Madison it is estimated that there
are 125 900 boys between the ages
of 10 and 20 in the state of Wis
consin who can be used the coming
year in farm labor work. A report
on this subject has been filed with
the State Council of Defense by the
director of the United States Boys
Working Reserve showing the work
accomplished the past year.
As a result of the cooperation
of the county councils of defense, .
says the report, and by the utili-
zation of the district organizations
of the University extension divis-
ion, the boys were enrolled in thir-
ty-one counties and total of ,754
are wearing badges awarded them
on account of their summer S work
IL several counties there was lack
of interest or an inclination to carry
on similar work in their own way
without utilizing the state and ma
ton wide organization. This atti-
tude in most cases has changed and
a general cooperation is in pros
pect for the coming year
Report from some 200 school
men of the state indicate that APP
proximately 10000 boys from the
schools were at work on farms, in
factories, or at some other useful
occupation during the summer, "
continues the report. 1t is esti-
mated that there are 1880 boys
between the ages of 16 to 20 in the
state. The plans for the season of
1918 contemplate that the boys in
schools will be reached before the
close of the schools and their en-
rollment secured. Plans are also
developing to reach other boys, en-
roll them and award recognition to
those doing patriotic service.

Thrift Stamps Explained.

tlal thing necessary to win it is
money. This money must be pro
vided by the people of the land In
order to provide it and lend it to
the government earning interest
and being secure beyond question
of doubt, YOU must save.
1t is easier to save in small
amounts than it is to save big sums.
To enable everybody within the
land to save, plan has been de
vised whereby YOU can begin with
twenty five cents, one quarter of a
dollar.
You purchase a Thrift stamp for
twenty-five cents, and paste it on
a Thrift card. Such Thrift card is
furnished you when you buy your
first Thrift Stamp. 1t has spaces
for sixteen stamps.
AS soon as your Thrift card is
filled you can acquire a War Saw
ings Stamp. Then your money be-
gins to earn interest at the rate of
4 percent compounded quarterly.
You can also obtain War Savings
Stamps bv outright purchase for
cash. The price of the War Stamps
varies, depending on the time when
You acquire them. During this
month it is SAP, after January the
price increases one cent each
month, during the year of 1918.
The difference between your
Thrift card which represents s. 90
when all spaces are filled, and the
price of a War Savings Stamp you
pay in cash. That means if you ac-
quire War Savings Stamp this
mouth you hand over your Thrift
card and pay on an increase of one
cent a month. This difference and
increase represents the interest
earned and is paid at maturity.
The stamps mature January, 1928,
when the Government will nav
IS. 90 for each of the War Savings
Stamps owned by YOU.
With the purchase of the first
War Savings Stamp you are fur
nished free a War Savings Certifi-
cate. This certificate has spaces for
twenty War Savings Stamps. You
paste the stamps on the certificate
which, when filled represents 500
cash value on January /, 1928.
If the twenty spaces on a War
Savings Certificate are filled this
month the cost to the purchaser
will be SAP for each stamp, or
twenty times SAP, that is, $50 40
for the full certificate. On the first
day of January, 1928, the Govern
ment will redeem the certificate for
500 in gold. This means that the
holder gets a net profit of $500
for the use of his money.
Should you unexpectedly need
cash money, you can get it at any
time by surrenderirg your War
Savings Certificates, either filled or
partly filled. The Government will
pay back to YOU what YOU paid for
it plus interest increase of one cent
each month for each War Savings
Stamp on the certificate. A table
of the cash surrender value is print
ed on the back of the War Savings
Certificate. II is hoped, however,
that this privilege will be exercised
only in cases of necessity.
The stamps and certificates can
be obtained from any post Office OF
mail carrier, from banks or trust
companies and from duly authoriz-
ed stores and other places Of bust
ness. Having the entire wealth of
the United States behind them, de
probation in value is out Of the
question.
