STATE LEADS NATION
IN NATIONAL GUARD

Wisconsin with the enrolment of
its National Guard brought to approx
mately 5000 by recent enlistments,
leads the entire country in proportion
to it's population, according to Lieut..
Col. Byron Beveridge of the adjutant
general office. Efforts are being made
to bring the enrolment strength of
the guard up to the required 10,400 be-
fore its three year period has expired.
Under the recent organization act for
state militia, 500 guardsmen are to be
IN service for each senator and con-
gresham. Wisconsin, it is stated ex-
poets to have it's allotted quota filled
much before the allotted time of three
years has expired.
Camp Douglas has been put in
shape to handle an entire division on
short notice, Colonel Beveridge said.
TO bring the state training grounds
to a point where they will be more
serviceable, the plumbing system has
been extended.
New heating and storage plants
now being built will be completed by
the end of the winter, it is announced.

RACING CIRCUIT
Being PLANNED
MIDSUMMER SCHEDULE is
DISCRIMINATING IN
JANUARY

A midsummer racing circuit will
be organized in Central Wisconsin if
the desire~Of prominent race enthuSi-
asts Of the valley materialize. In a
number of valley cities the PROPOSE
ton is being discussed and favorable
opinions rendered. 1t is believed an
arrangement may be perfected in jan
uary when the annual meeting of the
valley circuit is to be held
1t is now proposed to include Ste
vens Point, Wausau, Marshfield, Anti
go, Rhinelander and Merrill in the cir
cult and to have one week of racing in
each city, starting about July 4th
ThlS would enable the promoters to
get SIX weeks of racing in before the
fair season commences. Including
this period, the horsemen wouldt be
able to enter their horses for twelve
continuous weeks of racing in the
valley alone, and because of this it is
anticipated double the number of hors-
es usually entered would enter this
year.
DR.. Mills interviewed
DR.. G. A Mills of this city, we'll
known throughout the valley and
whose interest in racing has done
much to keep solidified the Central
Wisconsin circuit, in an interview
with Pilot representative, said:
Il would not consider entering a
racing circuit in Central Wisconsin
for midsummer races unless there
was created a pool of all the receipts
which would be divided equally among
all the cities, so that in case one city
had a bad week, it would not inter
fere with the final success of the cir
cult. In 1915, | believe, we undertook
similar proposition-most of the
debts were met but in some of the
cities they remained unpaid for a long
period and in others were never set
tied. This is poor policy, and strong
ly cOndemning it, | believe guaran-
tees OF somewhere near $1,000 should
be obtained in every city in which ra-
ces are to be held, these guarantees
to be pooled to meet any deficit there
might be as result of the program. )"
Once Lost 5000
When races were held in Wausau in
the middle OF the summer, there was
not good response and at that time the
Agricultural society which Joined the
circuit, was obliged to meet a deficit
of 5000
Another matter DR.. Mills believes
will have to be taken up locally is that
OF the Grand Stand. At the present
time there are of course facilities in
the local fair grounds to take care OF
crowd. Temporary stands would
hardly be sufficient but it is believed
That by next summer the new grand
stand will be completed. 1t is posi-
bic that the Agricultural society will
be averse to its use, however, before
the fair, desiring to open it the first
time on that occasion.

TAILORS MOVE TO CUT COST
Association Starts Cooperative Shops
in st. Louis to Eliminate
Contractors.

st. Louis, Dec. 1.-Two cooperative
tailor shops will be opened here with
in the next week, under the direction
of the Merchant Taiors' association
of st. Louis. on plan that will re-
suit in a material reduction in cloth
ing prices. The work to be done in
these shops is at present performed
by contractors" who make up suits
after they have been cut out by the
merchant tailors, Fox explained. The
elimination of these contractors,
coupled with the drop in the price
of wool, will be important factors in
effecting II reduction of SO to SIS on
clothing now selling from $40 to SIS,
Fox said.

Celebrate CanOnizatiOn of Joan of Arc In Rome
 With Pope Officiating
By Associated Press

Rome. May 16.-The canonization of Joan of Arc was celebrated by Pope Benedict this morning In St. Peters. It was the greatest and most impress sive function performed in the historic basilica not only by the present pom tiff, but for several centuries past.
 The interior of St. Peters was light ed by thousands of incandescent bulbs and wax candles, and the enormous pillars of the basilica were decorated with priceless ancient crimson damask. The papal throne was erected behind the high altar, having a. small tribune for the papal family. Another tribune that attracted much attention con tained TAO descendants of the family of Joan of Arc. These, belonging to all ranks of life and coming from all parts of France, had for the most part never met each other before. Three times as many applied for seats as relatives of Joan of Arcs family. but their claims were not admitted
 Further along there was a tribune for the Roman aristocracy the Knights of Malta, headed by Count Lamber tenghi, the diplomatic body accredited to the holy sec and a special mission headed by Gabriel Hanotaux, sent by the French republic.
 The pontiff was received at the en- trance to the basllica by Cardinal Merry Del Val, arch priest of St. Peters, with the vatican chapter. The choir sang 'Tu es Petrus," while the faithful sank to their knees, but did not allow any details of the magnificent procession to pass unobServed.

Daily Wall Street Gossip
BY HOLLAND,

New York, May S.-(Special) lone of the large industries at Cleveland was brought to a sudden halt a few days ago because it was impossible to secure a certain material needed in the manufacture of Its products. The rail- oad congestion had been sufficient to pGf perfect embargo on the shipment of this product from the manufactory n Michigan to Cleveland. As re- suit some 5,oo0 employees were in idle ness for several days and might be in idieness even at this time had it not keen for the happy suggestion that motor trucks be sent from Cleveland to Michigan there loaded with the ma terial and in that way the necessary commodity brought 70 the Cleveland Industry.
 These motor trucks put an end to tho embarrassment. Again the wage earners were at work The trucks will be continuously operated until at least the railroad congestion is ended. The idle employees of this Cleveland indus try were not backward in saying that tue men who are tying up the railroads in the yards should have had some consideration for employees who are dependent upon railroad transportation for maintaining steady work.
 This incident is only one of many which could be reported showing that ia addition to a suffering public a large number of wage earners are thrown temporarily out of employment by reason of the congestion in the railroad yards which is in great meas ure due to the so-called outlaw strike.
 Already In New York public opinion is setting so strongly against the men who are holding up the movement of freight in New York that an organi- zation is now under way whereby, through the use of motor trucks 1t will be possible to relieve the conges- tion which has tied up food and vari- ols commodities along the water front of New York. Information has come from Washington that if the situation seems to dxnand 1t, then the govern ment might permit the use of the army ana of the large number of motor trucks of which the government has the ownership, so that the congestion could be terminated. It was reported from Washington that the belief of army officers there is that the utiliza- ton of these motor trucks and of the army would within three or four days put an end to the congestion, the ef- fleets of which are beginning to be seriously felt in New York They are of like nature to the embarrassment occasioned in other parts of the coun- try expecting that in the west there remain amounts of food awaiting transportation to the markets while in New York and other eastern cities the markets are waiting the coming of this food.

merce whereby great voluntary re- serve force can be so trained as to make it possible to bring up these reserves when the crisis is sufficient to warrant such action and in that Way there may be secured relief from the embarrassment occasfoned by strikes. It may be that in time in the larger industrial centers of the United S,stes voluntary reserve forces, made up of the citizens wEo are not mem
 bers of any union, will be perfected ah6 drilled so that there may be called

 THE DAY OF THE MOTOR TRUCK
 If the great financIers and the larg-
 CT financial institutions are allowed
 free hand, not being subject to gov
 erhmental interference unless the laws
 are broken, then there is no doubt
 taat an organization whose members
 represent the ablest financial leaders
 of the time and some of the strongest
 financial institutions will be able to
 bting order out of chaos In AuStrla an6 central Europe.
 r Some time ago there came from the
 other side of the Atlantic the sugges-
 tor that Germany would be glad 1T
 an arrangement could be made where
 by an international trade which takes
 the apparent form of barter of com
 moditiest could be established Now
 this is likely to be done. And 1t is
 of interest and importance to the Uni
 tod States to know that the leading
 American international banking
 house of which J. F. Morgan is the
 head will, through it's London house,
 share in this plan. Behind the plan will stand probably the greatest bank ing and financial combination ever ,med In the world. What Austria needs and in fact what the other new states of central Europe require is not so much cash capital as raw material capital. If they can secure merchan- diee. and raw material with which to supply their manufac acturing plants, ther in that way they will be able to convert this raw material into finished pi cducts which will be utilized in liouidating the indebtedness which the shipment of raw material of merchan- disc creates. It is a gigantic plan for actual barter and the best authori- ties seem now to be of the opinion tfat 1t is the only plan which will make it possible gradually to restore international trade and in that way re- v.ve the industries of Austria, Ger l E,sny and other nations of central | Europe.
 l In this plan is Illustrated the ad- vantages which are to be secured by | co operation and combination. few years a ago it would not have been 1 thought possible for an American l barking house to enter an interna- tional combination whose purpose was 1 to stimulate industry, to aid in the 1 jexchange of commodities and to make l it unnecessary to employ large cash carital

WEEKLY DRY GOODS

py Assoctdlru EIess
 New Orleans, May l6.-The main trad ing influences in cotton last week were so evenly balanced that fluctuations were not wide at any time, although the mar ket preserved something of an upward tendency because of the uniformly un- favorable character of the news from the crop. From the highest levels to the lowest there was a range of 65 to 104 points, the trading months at their best being 35 to "A points over the close of the preceding week and at their lowest 50 to 40 points under. July at it's best solo at SS.S5 and at its lowest stood at 51.7O. The close on July was at 3s.1S and the list showed net gains of IS to 50 points in the net results Middling spots closed at 4025. showing no Let change for the week
 The market was upheld altogether by the continued unfavorable conditions sur rounding the start of the crop. Too much rain fell over large areas of the belt and the temperature was too low in many important sections. Complaints were gen. eral of slow growth of young plants, lacl- of germination of seed, poor stands and many portions of the belt reported much replanting necessary, in some cases for the third time. Balancing bullish crop news were returns from wholesale markets and mill centers of this coun- try and England. indicating a smaller de- mand for finished goods, tendency to reduce prices and claims that any further let-up in the demand would lead to short time among some mills. A bad impress sion was left by cablegrams from Eng land describing the Manchester cloth market as stagnant and manufacturers as overstocked with yarns.
 This week there will be increased anxiety over crop reports because the date of the first condition report of the season is getting near. The first con- dition period will end May 25 and the government has announced that the re- port on it will be made on June g. Fur ther rains and, cool weather would, of course, increase the demand for contracts while warm and dry weather would lead to much selling. A continuation of un- favorable trade reports would go far toward offsetting bullish crop news while anything encouraging in this direction unquestionably would immediately stimu- late a good demand.
