Time for Plain Talking

What amounts to a virtual breach OF
faith on the part Of the United States
government towards investors in its
wartime securities is matter which
seriously affects the raising OF much
needed capital by members of the cleo
trical industry, including public util-
tiles, manufacturers, jobbers, contrac-
tors and dealers, and restricts the ac-
commodations which bankers in this
country are able to extend to them in
the way of credits.
At present prices Liberty loan issues
show a shrinkage or roundly Sl,25o-
OOO, 900 compared with the price of par
at which the government sold them to
investors. The first issue, ~ per cent
bonds, are quoted around 81; they hold
this price because the income from
them is not taxable. The Victory loan
AZ per cent bonds sell around SO be-
cause they are short-term bond, and
the 81 Victory notes sell at an equal
price because of the limited taxation
applying to them and the short term
which they have to run before being
paid off. But the 4 and Az per cent
bonds are selling between 80 and 911A,
except the third issue of AIS, which
are quoted around SO.
There is no change in the security
behind the bonds. 1t is not a matter
Of ability Of the government to pay
them off when due. 1t is a question
of interest rates. With money lend
ing at 61s per cent for commercial pa
per, representing the lowest charge fol-
sO-called legitimate business, Liberty
loan issues are only seeking an inter
est basis market level, with the add.
ed advantage of being a government
security. The bonds that are selling
around 81, as against 81 for the others
are still governed by interest consid
erations, since the tax exemption is
equal to higher rate of return.
The viewpoint of the banker is per
haps more important because the mar
ket value shrinkage of their holdings
affects their ability to lend money or

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

A very good crowd attended the
Waugonian club play last TUESDAY
which was very well presented. Inc
name of the students were used In
MANY scandals, and this added to the
entertainment. Between acts MISS
Isabelle Stenson gave three humor-
Gus readings which were very much
enjoyed.
The boys of the school were given
an address Friday afternoon on
excepting Fit" by DR.. Sherwood OF
Chicago.
matinee dance was given Friday
afternoon which was open to all the
classes.
Friday evening the declamatory
contest was held in the assembly
room of the school. The numbers were
especially fine and the competition
was very close. The third honors
were tied by Miss Rose Wunsch, who
gave "Strongheart" in very drama
| tic and stirring fashion, and Miss Mar
garet Stone, who gave Peg O. My
Heart in dainty and pathetic man
: ner, which was very pressing. Miss
Lorraine Kuester was awarded second
L
Booth Tarkington's Seventeen"
This was very humorous number
and was given in very fitting man
ner. One of the most dramatic and
heaviest numbers of the program was
"The Melting Pot" by Miss Helen
Sturteyant, to whom first place was
given. This was an intensely inter-
esting and tragic piece which was

of its meaning, and the message it
gave, making marked impression
upon the audience.
Miss Tabea Breihan gave the "Sign
of the Cross" in very finished man
ner, and touched the hearts of her
laudience with her appealing voice.
Quite in contrast to it was polly of
the Circus" by Miss Gertrude Lueb-
chow This altho pathetic contained
some very delicate humor which Miss
Luebchow gave in charming way.
"The Community Sunbeam" was
. given in very splendid fashion by
Miss Althea Weinkauf, who possesses
an unusually good speaking voice.
The last number on the program
was probably most enjoyed, for it was
a humorous piece, Miss Rennesdale
Accepts" from "Penrod" by Booth
Harrington, and was given exception
ally well by Miss Marie Merkel. Miss
Merkel put herself into her selection
and in the dancing lesson it was diff
ficult to realize that the old German
professor himself was not there
teaching the children to waltz accor-
ding to the way he did it. Miss Mer.
KEEL was one of the youngest mem
bers on the program and with her
splendid dramatic ability she should
have a good chance for winning hon.
ors in the next years.
The speakers were coached by the
Misses Jawort and Kimball who also
coached the boys who will contest fol
honors in oratory Thursday evening
Wausau defeated Amigo for the Sc
cond time this season at Amigo Sat

SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-
Several women delegates are lead
ing movement to substitute the
Rooster as the official democratic
symbol instead of the humble and

In fact they believe in such signs.
Wilbur Marsh, treasurer of the
democratic national committee, is in
sympathy with the demands of the
100000 organized farmers. He's
some farmer himself. On his Guern-
sey farm back in Waterloo, Iowa, he
raises the finest cattle in the world.
He just sold a Guernsey bull for
$4,000 and when he was out here
last time at the exposition with his
herd he made the other exhibitors
sick by taking all the prizes.

A military candidate has appeared
at the democratic convention-Gen-

ers are for him to a man.
From the present indications it'll
be a straw hat convention, for the
feminine as well as the masculine
delegates. One delegate suggests

they're beginning to take off their
red badges. They're getting tired of

There are all kinds of walking dele
gates and talking delegates here but
it's the baking delegates who are
worrying the candidates managers
right now.
James Preston, for twenty years
and more called "Jim" by U. S. presi-
dents, is about the only man here who
doesn't care who gets elected in No
vember. He's like Tennyson's brook,
and goes on forever. He's superin-
tendent of the senate press gallery,
and is in San Francisco to look after
the comfort of the visiting newspa-
permen. Jim knows more U. S. Off
cials and news writers than any man
alive.
Rumors that prohibition authori-
ties have all been ordered out of town
during the convention are branded
as absolutely false. However, much
prominence is being given in the
to the story that three

men died here recently from the eff
fects of denatured alcohol in bootleg
whisky.
A little dog carried by a pretty
woman delegate escaped in the Pal
ace Hotel. After it ran all the male
delegates in sight, big and little,
broad and thin. One old Kentucky
colonel stumbled as he flew up a

ton. He travelled all the way from
Ogden in a new "fiivver."
One thing is sure, so far. There
will be no contests between black
and white delegates from the South
ern states at this convention.
The colonels are beginning to ar
rive. The first on the scene was Col.
John 1. Martin, since 1906 a national
committeeman. He denies that he
was born a colonel and says he won
his spurs in the Missouri National
Guard, as a governors staff officer.
