After the several speakers had
given expression to their views, it
began to look as though the issue
would be brought to a close before
an adjournment was taken An ink
ling as to this developed when Coun-
sellor Rullman announced that he
had a draft of an ordinance, for taxi
ing care of the whole situation, but
that it was not ready for final action

of the Committee on Bylaws and

time to give consideration TO 1t. The

Continental Axle Company New Stock
Sells Readily.

Over $4,000 of the, 100000 to $780,
600 of the per cent perferred Axle
company stock offered to the public at
this time has been spoken for by eager
investors in the popular and successful
company The Continental Axle Co.
decided some time ago to issue $500, 900
in preferred stock, drawing interest at
8 per cent, and callable at 10. This
was deemed advisable in order to take
advantage of the large discounts which
may be had when material is bought in
large quantities. AS an Illustrations
forging that costs SOTO when bought
in lots of $50, can be Dough. for $500
when taken in 1000 lots. Nearly all 9TH
er material can be bought at correspond
ing discounts when bought in large
quantities for cash. Sufficient capital
to do business on basis to cut down
cost of material is one of the para
mount needs of successful manufacture
ing these days. The Axle company is
undoubtedly acting wisely and in the
best interests of the stockholders in
making this move.
Of the $500, 900 authorized between
$4,000 and $3.50, 900 is offered for sale
at this time. Each share is 500, and
the buyer has the privilege of getting
one share of common stock for $1.00
for each five shares bought of the pre-
ferred. Eight per cent is guaranteed
earning of the new stock, and out of
earnings above that the common stock
gets eight per cent, and after that the
preferred and the common share in the
earnings on the basis of $3.50. The
shares if called within year are set
tied for on the basis of $110. The
issue is guaranteed under the laws of
the state, and Mr.. Andrew Mcintosh is
appointed as agent to handle the sale,
and subscribers are calling on him for
the amount wanted by each. Of the
first 20 who had applied for stock be-
fore the end of last week, the amounts
taken ranged from $500 to $4,000. The
officials of the company state that the
shares may be paid for in Liberty bonds
and War Saving stamps up to so per
cent of the amount taken, these bonds
accepted at par value. The balance
must be paid in cash, Is per cent in
three months and the balance in six
months.
The company is doing a splendid bus
mess. 1t is now charging it's plant,
and the orders come faster than the
company can fill them to suit the GUS
toners. The Axle company and the
Highway Trailer plants are efficiently
managed, and the stockholders are
pleased with the growth of the enter
prises and their earnings. Of this
phase of it, The Reporter will be able
to furnish some reliable figures in it's
next issue.

The Edgerton Memorial Hospital.

-
The pledges to our city hospital have
reached and passed the twenty thou
sand dollar mark, which certainly
speaks in no uncertain terms of the
generosity and public spirit of the men
and women of Edgerton and vicinity.
The women of the Service Star Legion
who are on the soliciting committee re-
port that the movement finds favor
among people in every walk of life. 1t
is rare thing to find person who
says'w do not need hospital or that
it will not be a very good thing for our
little city. Miss Lockwood has shown
us the good things that may be accom-
plished by small hospital. carefully
managed.
Nothing that has ever been proposed
for Edgerton's advancement has been
so universally commended. One man
who has given five hundred dollars said,
81 wish it could be five thousand. !"
Another who gave five dollars said he
wished he had money enough to build
the hospital. Another man who has a
big heart and is always giving, said,
II am going to give every cent that
can afford and little more and he
has done so. Nearly every one who
has given has expressed a willingness
to give again when the hospital is
started. The different women's organ
izations which have been solicited have
also been most generous. The Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs has pledged
5000; the Norwegian ladies, 500; the
Catholic ladies, 500. The people of
Edgerton appreciate the gifts from out
of town concerns very greatly, and our
friends from neighboring cities are as
sisting in a geneaous and gracious man.
ner.
When the subscriptions reach $4,000
the men and women who have made
these pledges will meet and elect a
board of trustees, who will attend to
the buying of a site and assume the
business management. This board OF
trustees will be composed of men of
acknowledged business capacity and
high moral standing, of those who are
willing and able to give considerable
amount of time to the work and who
will have very great interest in the
development of the institution. The
character and recognized judgment of
these men will serve to assure those
who contribute toward the support of
the undertaking that the money will be
wisely expended.

The Unmlstakable ooekney.

Lady Georgiana Peel tells some good
stories in her "Recollections." One
concerns her father-in-law, General
Peel.
He was at a banquet in Paris. Mis-
trusting his capabiiity of conyersing In
French, he talked during most of the
dinner TO a neIghbor who he knew
liked airing his English; but after 8
time he made up his mind he must
talk TO the silent French gentleman
on his left.
He gathered his French together,
and hazarded a remark: "Quelle
chambre magnifque!s he said. with
many distinctly foreign gesticuIations.
The man leant towards him conf
dentiaIIy. General Peel braced himself
to understand. "Ain't a patch on our
Guildall," was the whisper that reach
ed him with an unmistakable accent.

by official action to bring the women
to order and reason, in the matter Of
clothes. Women and girls are not
permitted to wear extraordinary
clothes" runs the official order which
the police have been instructed to en-
force. 1.-The women's dresses, which
were generally adopted by the Chinese
gentle sex previous to the first revolu-
ton in 1911, are better suited to young
women because they are not too short
or too narrow, and they should be
used again." The official order gives

and the other two the name of a priest
and a valet of one of the grand dukes.
To make sure there was no ruse, one
casket was opened and a body re

the dead there was also written who
had killed them and where. The ques-
ton is being asked who had forward
