Liberty Bonds

Liberty bonds are down, in the case
of some issues as much as so on the
hundred. But a Liberty bond that
does not sell is worth 800. There is
no chance of their not reaching par
except the chance of the United States
going to smash, and then the very
dollars for which one might sell his
bonds would not be worth their face
Liberty bonds at present prices Of
fer very fine chance to the man who
can buy and hold on to them. That
is why plenty of INSCRIPTIONS men
are taking them down. urging the
small investor to sell lest they go
lower and he lose more money" 1t
is dirty business but it is being done.
Just now the only way not to lose
money on these bonds is by keeping
them. And it might be added that if
anyone must sell, he will get the mar
ket price from any bank or reliable
dealer while he is pretty certain to be
cheated by the kind of dealer who
offers fancy price and then deducts
fat profit, calling it exchange" or
some similar imaginary name-Mil-

REAL COMMUNITY BUILDING

Consider the tumbleweed and the oak.
For the tumbeweed grows green 1t hourshes

the prae the sport of every vagrant breeze No
wind light osr obstruction too small to halt It.
But does the oak go swrng around moving part OF the
autmnal landscape? Not that any has noticed The
oak stays put 1t deep the SOIL 1t is anenber of
cred the winds of winter together
The tumbeweed purpose if it calls attention to
the pernanence of the oak and it drives home the TACT
that the practice of roofing deep into the soil has its virtues
In these times there to be great many OF the
tnbeweed variety being swept hher and hither There
many tnbeweeds scuyng about that the oaks
be overlooked Start to count them though and there
plenty of oaksmen who have struck their roots deep into
their home SOIL
of the present day problems whether it is worth
while to attempt the task of increasing the number of oaks
and decreasing the number of umbeweeds The first thing
to be noticed about the oak that it is of slow growth 1t
does spring up in day. The next thing is that it es
tablishes itself by taking root
Community building is oak growing Raising colonies of
tumbleweeds will not do the trick.
Before begin to root deeply in community they
must have abiding interest in it. That community must

that community building brought about by real community

American exports in 1919 exceed by
S4,017 100000 the total of imports in
the same period, establishing a new
record, the Department of Commerce
reports. Exports for 1919 were valued
at 1892, 100000, compared with &c.
149, 900, 900 for 1918. Imports in 1919
were valued at $1,000, 100000, an ex-
cess of $S73,OOO,000 over those for
1918. While greater than in Deem
Der, 1918. there was a decline both in
exports and imports last December.
The decrease in imports in December,
compared with the previous month,
was $61,OOO,OOO.
Large quantities of drugs, surgical
instruments, surgical dressings and
various kinds of hospital equipment
is offered for sale by the War Depart
ment to state and municipal hospitals,
free clinics and like in situations for
thirty days ending this month. The
War Department announces that these
supplies will be sold at prices much
below present market quotations.
The materials were purchased for
use during the war, but have been de-
clared surplus because the quantities
on hand are much in excess of the
present requirments of the army. AL
though disposal of them will be made
at less than prevailing prices, the
Government will lose nothing by the
transaction and various public and
charitable institutions will be bene-
flied.
1t is announced that state, county
and municipal institutions will be ac-
corded 80 days credit on purchases
of these supplies, and will not be re-
quired to make a deposit Other pur-
chasers must pay in full before the
materials are delivered.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Mr.. Painter returned to school
Wednesday after an extended illness.
The senior class play, 1.-THE Valley
Farm" will be presented Friday even
ing in the assembly hail. The pro-
ceeds of the play will probably be
used for a class memorial and conse-
quently it is hoped that the citizens
at large will respond and make this
possible.
Friday afternoon matinee dance
was given for the Ripon boys who
came up to play the Y. NJ. C. A.
basket ball game. The boys at the
dance were Harold Evenson, Carl
Wolf and Elvin Hartlett, all of Wau-
sau, and Jack Allen of Fond du Lac,
the other members of the team arriv-
ing late in the afternoon.
A mass meeting was held Friday
afternoon preparatory to the Marsh.
field game. This was one of the best
meetings of the season, the diff
ferent towns Wausau had defeated
were represented by the girls who all
gave their opinion of the team.
A large crowd accompanied the
team to Marshfeld. Among the root
erS were the Misses Lillian Hofmeister,
Marie Babitt, Marie Lemke, Linda
Ziebell, Gretchen Kruger, Mae Kohl,
Arleen Towle, Gertrude Luebchow,
Ruth Laabs, Florence Pedal, Dorothy
Patf, Josephine Patf, Josephine Coates,
Stella Zimmerer. Irene Marceau, Alice
Lyon, Catherine Geisel, Grace Will
terding, Helen Sturtevant, Alice
O'Conner, Armella Wiesner, Nicolls
and Upgren, and Victor Geisel, Mel
vim Peterson, Frank Barden, Howard
Hooper, Valerian WieSner, Frederick,
Geisel, Gary Olsen, Frank Livernash.
Edward Diebel, William Gamble,
Walter BiSSell, James Rowley, Reu-
ben Richards, Frank Liljqvist, Jesse
Kohl and Oscar Morse.
Wausau met its first defeat of the
season Friday and probably because
the boys were a trifle over-confident
ana didn't really get into the game
until the second half when they PLAYED
circles around Marshfield Kampine
was the only man that played hard
the first half, and it was through his
efforts that Marsh6eld failed to make
a number of baskets. Sturteyant made
the most number of baskets, scor-
in twelve points, but his team work
was not as good as usual. Ziebell was
evidently remembered for his brilliant
plays in the contest with MarShfield
on this floor, for he had two men at
his heels most OF the time. All the
boys were handicapped by the very
slippery floor and the low baskets
with which they were unaccustomed.
Next week the team enters the dis
trict tournament at Stevens Point, so
until then much time will be spent
practicing in order that they may de-
feat MaTShteld on the neutral floor.
The line-upS were:
Wausau-lf, Sturteyant: IF, Winetz- |
XII; c, ZiebelI; IL, ksmpine; re, Re

team and made some very brilliant
plays. Jake Werle played in the last
few minutes of the game.
