SCHOFIELD ASSN ASKS
CITIES TO JOIN NEW
BASEBALL LEAGUE

The Schofield Athletic association
has been formed for the purpose of

terested in entering into league and
the purpose of this letter Is to ask
whether you would consider this and
II so, what suggestions you could make
to start the ball a-rollingA Such q
league, we believe, could be organized
/ with very little expense to its members
and yet greatly stimulate interest In
baseball in the towns represented. -

WILL RETURN
TO NORWAY
OTTO p. HOFF TO RESIDE
ABROAD WHERE HE HAS
ACCEPTED POSITION

Otto P. Hoff, a resident of Wausau
and Marathon county for many years,
returned last Saturday from Norway
where he has spent the past half year
visiting relatives and friends, and in
settling his fathers estate. Mr.. Hoff
has accepted the position of manager
of the foreign department of the Den
Norske Handelsbank, and after round
ing UP his business affairs in Wausau
will return to Norway to take up his
new duties. He will be located at
Christiania. The concern with which
Mr.. Hoff will become affiliated has de-
posits of $S00,000,000 and capital of
So, 900 900.
Conditions Excellent
In an interview with The Pilot, Mr..
Hoff said: Business conditions in
Norway are excellent at the present
time. The country is not pressed
financially, probably because Of the
fact that during the war the inhabi-
tants Of the country prospered and
during that period cultivated the
habit of thrift. From business
standpoint Norway now ranks first
among the three Scandinavian coun-
tries, Denmark second and Sweden
third. At the outbreak of the world
war Sweden prohibited the exporta-
tion of gold and withdrew the gold
in its banks from circulation, a fact
detrimental to the country then but
which now accounts for the fact that
the Swedish rate of exchange remains
higher than that, of either Denmark
or Norway.
Shipped Butter
During the past six months Den
mark has shipped to America 4O,O0O.-
100000 pounds of butter which has
not only increased its exchange rate
but has also caused preceptible de-
cline in the price of American made
butter"
Mr. Hoff declared that reports from
Germany indicate that German manu-
facturers are again operating at ca
pacity production and that German
competition is being felt keenly
throughout Europe. Germans are
using every means to keep the value
of the mark down, it being advanta-
geous TO them to do this until the mat
ter OF war indemnities has been set
tied satisfactorily.
Norwegian bankers are of the
opinion that England will see to it
that Germany is not tremendously op-
pressed in the final war settlement"
Mr.. Hoff continued, because England
is heavily interested in German busi-
ness enterprises"
Rough Voyage
On his return to America from
Norway, from which he sailed on jan
uary 7th, Mr.. Hoff encountered
rough voyage. The winter this year
in Norway, he says, is even milder
than that we are experiencing here,
and in southern Norway there has
been no snow to date this season.

and to discuss possibilities in the field
of commercial illustrations. Wausau
