The intention is to create an army of
new investors. touching class which
might not otherwise be disposed to save.
The number of plans to be used in retir-
ing the war debt as n whole will continue
to increase from time TO time in order
that all classes OF investors may be
reached. But in general the government
has embarked on Il policy that looks to-
ward the gradual retirement of the war
debt by borrowing from the public at
stated intervals and offsetting these Dor
rOwingS by gradual Accommodations Of sur
plus from taxes and imports. In other
words. the government must go on she as
sumption that Europe cannot pay
Amprca %f1,uUu,0o of war debt and
that If anything is paid IN the present
generation it will to that extent ease the
burden and curtail the necessity for Dor
rowing. The people of America will
therefore. finance their government BY
lending it money from time to time until
collections from regular sources Of reye-
nue. can be piled up

officials insist that the effect in the end

REV. BRZESTOWICZ
DEPLORES SKINNY
ASKS PARENTS TO COME
WITH CHILDREN TO AN
OLD TIME AFFAIR

The Rev. F. ]. Brzestowicz. of the
town of Cassel, deplores the "shimmy''
and other modern dances, in an arti-
Gle appearing in last weeks issue of
The Marathon Times, at Marathon
II was for this reason that we de-
clded to have an old fashioned Dance
ne wrote. saying that such an affair
had been arranged for October 3rd.
at Lepak's hall in the town of Cas-
sci.
Il do not blame the parents for
hesitating to permit their children TO
go to places where these excuses
take place." Father Brzestowicz con-
tinued. "But the young must have
their enjoyment; their superabundant
energy requires it. Why not use that
energy and direct it in the proper
way?"
Blames Parents
"Will you go to dance with the
children? No. you answer, 4 can't
dance the way they do nowadays. NV
back is too stiff and | would fall
asleep sitting on a bench. If | would
dance the people would say, Look at
that old fool wiggle around the hall".'"
In this way, he claims, the parents
are partly to blame for modern dances.
He declares that he has talked with
the proprietors of many dance halls
and finds that they do not approve
of the modern Dances.
Hoping to start the old time parties
for young and old he concluded his
letter to the Times in this way, adj
dressing his words to the older folks.
Now it is up to you to do your bit
to show them (the young people) that
&c can get an orchestra to play the old
dances; that we can get the crowd and
that the people of Marathon county
can enjoy them selves without shaking
the shimmy. Are your daughters
blushing? Then they are not yet too
far gone"

TWO CASES OF
DIPHTHERIA NOW
UNDER QUARANTINE

The distinctly bad feature about the
diphtheria situation in this locality,
according to the city health authori-
ties, is the fact that the cases dis
covered have been located at widely
separated points. This would indicate
that there are number of different
carriers and a more dangerous situa-
ton than If the cases were found close
together in one restricted area
The extent of the foothold of the
disease calls for a long campaign of
suspect cultures on the part of the
authorities, and on this point, Dr. c.
d. Partridge, health officer, wishes to
state that the trifling Inconvenience Of
having the cultures taken is small
matter compared with the extent of
the danger that threatens from diph-
liberia
No further increase in the spread of
the disease has been noted. One new
case was reported in the past week
but this is balanced by the fact that
one of the cases under quarantine was
released. There are now two cases
under quarantine in the city.
