Foreign Bonds a Good Buy.
Abundant opportunities will come
from the approaching settlement of
world affairs. We may expect the
loans TO the allies to be covered by
longterm bonds which will be a mort
gage on the resources of those nations.
There is no good cause to fear that
when the world has settled down they
will not be able to meet their obliga-
tons Though Britain and France are
now heavily burdened, they were both
in much the same position after the
Napoleonic wars, but the period of their
greatest prosperity followed. Disarma-
ment will help to release revenue for
payment of interest, and development
of backward countries will add to their
wealth. Securities may also be issued
by the basic industries of all European
countries and should prove as stable
as those Of the great industrial cor
porations of the United States The
laws of European countries carefully
protect the investor requiring full re-
ports and publicity. Many Of these
securities will be placed on the Ameri-
can market, for this country is now
the worlds great reservoir of capital.
BY making such investments, Ameri-
cans will also aid the recovery of Eu-
rope from its present disordered state
and will hasten the expansion of Ameri-
can commerce ana American industry.
They will thus promote the prosperity
of the United States, which will thrive
best when its European customers are
prosperous, Self-interest will coincide
with the general purpose to promote
prosperity in America and to aid re-
covery of the world from the effects of
the war.-Portland Oregonian Qnd.

The Republican Platform Com
nittee.

They are distinguished and able men
whom Chairman Hays has chosen to
make tentative platform for the Re-
publican party. Doubtless as much
could be said for the women members
of that body by one who is acquainted
with them. But although the ability
of the men and women who have been
chosen to perform this function should
be conceded, it is somewhat question
able whether this is altogether desir-
able process Of platform making, The
platform that this committee makes
Will be presented to the platform COM
mittee created by the convention only
with the force Of a recommendation;
it can be amended without Imitation
or even rejected in its entirety. New
ertheless it will and is intended to
have, a moral and intellectual authority
which will virtually assure it's accept
ance by the committee created by the
convention without substantial change.
SO that the practical effect Of using
this process of platform making is to
force the party into getting its inspira-
ton from a small number of men and
women carefully chosen by a few of
the party's leaders rather than from
the millions of its followers through the
suggestion and voice of the men and
women chosen by them. The doCu-
ment thus produced doubtless will be,
taCtiCally, better than any which could
come of the old process, But it viii
he less spontaneous, and therefore
less genuine expression Of popular SEN
tment 1t may catch more votes, and
yet he less effective as covenant be-
tween those whom the party puts into
power and those whose votes were thus

Firm in the belief that Senator r.
vine L. Lenroot of Wisconsin is "The
most useful man in either House of
Congress-" Clifford Pinchot passed
through this city today >on his way to
Racine to help the senator in his cam
paign for reelection.
Such men as Lenroot are going to
be greatly needed in Congress in the
next four years." declared Mr.. Pinchot
here today. II have just come from
Marion, where l discussed with Sen
ator Harding various items of the
great constructive program for Ameri-
ca, which he has outlined for his ad
ministration. We did not discuss his
campaign at all, because so far as the
presidency is concerned, it is settled.
Even the Democrats know, whether
they admit it or not, that Senator
Harding will be the next president.
"The thing Of greatest Importance
just now is to see that when Harding
is president he is supported in both
house and senate by men who will
stand solidly behind his constructive
program. l am on my way to Racine
to do what / can, and all / can, for
the reelection of the man whom l
consider, on the whole, the most use

Coal Ships in Half
Hour with Machine

Philadelphia-Foreign ocean going
vessels are taking advantage of the
automatic coal loading machine which
has been installed at the Greenwich
Point piers here. The system is Dor
rowed from the plan in use on the
Great Lakes, where iron ore is hand
led and shipped quickly and cheaply.
By this method of coaling an ordi-
nary sea-going craft can be coaled in
less than half an hour where it form
erly took several days.
Fifty railroad tracks, forming a net
work and capable of holding 1000
cars of coal, are built around the ma
chine. The cars specially constructed
wait on the siding until vessel is
ready to coal. Each car passes
through a concrete, steam heated
thawing shed which is used for thaw-
ing coal in winter. Released from the
thawing shed, the cars glide down a
slight incline and up another where
they are clamped to the rails. A huge
platform, resembling an elevator, au-
tomatically places itself into a posi-
ton of an acute angle. The coal is
permitted to run from the car, onto
the platform and into a V-shaped
bowl which connects it with a chute
from the hold of the ship.
The bumper was built at a cost of
approximately 100000 and is the only
one in this section of the United
States. Foreign vessels alone spend
$1,0O0,000 monthly for coaling sup
plies here. Last month broke all pre-
vious records when 306,70O tons of
coal was loaded on oceain-going craft.

death after fighting four pitched bat
ties with police. Marpool, answering
a call, met two bandits and was killed
before he could draw his gun. Three
hundred policemen drew Gordon
around the district and took up the
hunt for the sergenat's slayer. Four
times the bandit tried to break through
the ring, and each time was driven
back after hot fights. The firing final
ly ceased and when police advanced

rA1R RoosTERs ORGANIZE.

A meeting of the committee menu
bers of the West Kenosha County Fair
was held at the Wilmot High school
on last Friday evening, Oct. %. The
meeting was a very interesting one
from start to finish, and the co-opera-
tive spirit of the fair boosters was
shown throughout its course. The
presiding officer Of the meeting was
Mr.. Ihlenfeldt, principal of the Will
mot High school, while James A. Buck
ley, Jr., was appointed secretary pro-
tenn.
After brief discussion of the finan-
cial success of the 1920 community
fair, by unanimous decision it was
agreed upon to turn over $4,000 to the
Wiimot High school. After the school
fund was decided upon, it was voted
that the community fair should be an
annual event, and should continue I'M
Ser the name, "West Kenosha County
Fair"
Since the fair Of 1920 was such sue
cess, and since the possibilities for a
much larger fair for 1921, are so
promising, it was agreed upon that
means should be taken to put it on g
firm business basis, and to start an or
ganization to look after its interests
throughout the year.
The fair organization for the coming
year consists of the following officers:
President, James A. Buckley, Jr, Will

France LoOsing
Her Naval Rank
de Temps Sounds Warning to French
Statesmen That France Is Losing
Naval Power.

(By John DeGandt, United Press)
Paris.-Should there be another big
war in the near future, Argentine, Bra
I'll and Chile would be in position to
give more help to countries such as
the United States and England than
France as regards the power of her
naval artillery. This is the essence of
an article in lie Temps" which gives
at length actual figures about the Bra
lillian, Argentine and Chilean warships.
It says:
Before the era of the dreadnought,
the South American republics had war
navies adapted to the Importance of
their part in the world. Then the Eu-
ropean navies had guns much bigger
than the biggest South American guns,
which rendered the latter relatively
powerless. But the dreadnought came.
Argentine, Chile and Brazil understood
that they must not build fighting ships
beaten in advance and ordered abroad
dreadnoughts able to accept a fight
with any similar ship existing.
"The change was complete. In 1914
the three South American republics
had a fleet including seven warships
comparable to those of the European
fleets. This fleet was equal to the
present French fleet, if not superior,
because the Chilean dreadnought car
ried 356 millimeter guns, superior to
the French $40 millimeter. Further,
the South American dreadnoughts
would have been very real help to the
American fleet If difficulties had arisen
with Europe.
"The question of the warship can
only have one solution; that it be at
least equal, possibly superior to the
ships she may have to meet The i'm
portance Of the country to which she
may belong does not matter any longer
the enemy alone does. And yet, in
France, we have not reached the point
where stood the South American re-
publics before 1914. We adopted the
same caliber for heavy artillery on our
dreadnoughts several years after them,
and when England decided to replace
her 305 by the 343, we timidly made
our $40 millimeters, while Chile chose
S56. Our 340's were not yet in use
when England had the 981; Japan and
the United States possessed the $50
and were on the way to 40s and even
457."
The article terminates by urging that
every effort be made in France to reach
point where her navy is able to bring
any valuable help to the allies 1t
warns France that she must not lose
her rank in the world navies.

The first steps to be taken by the
new fair organization will be steps in
providing permanent sheds and barns
in which to display live stock. These
sheds will be constructed west of the
High school campus, and will be used
by the students Of the school as stor-
age sheds for horses and automobiles.
The suggestion of A. G. Stoxen to start
fund for defraying expenses connect
ed with the construction of these sheds
met with immediate approval and as a
result of it each Of the officers donat-
ed $500 to start the fund. The con
struction of the sheds will afford an
excellent opportunity for the high

work in construction.
It is expected that the lumber used
in the construction of the sheds can
be purchased from the owners of some
