Badger State Forgets Politics
In Convention to Boost Products
Wisconsin Plans Greatest Cooperative Mar

The Country.

Wisconsin. State Of La Toilette
and famed political battlefield, has
decided to forget about campaign

tention to making a success Of what
is expected TO prove the greatest
cooperative marketing movement
ever attempted in the country.
The hatchet has been buried while
thirty-eight leading agricultural

tions. together with various depart
ments of the State government. are

This is what those back OF the
movement have accomplished: Bring

farmer and the State official under
one roof In the Auditorium. one of
the largest convention halls in -he
country, for a complete display of
Badger products and for a discus

Bankers to Rescue Europe.

q ONE OF the ills of Europe due to na-
tional jealousies and national aspirations
- Some of them are due to religious differ
ences. Some Of them are due to losses in prop
erty and manpower sustained during the war But
by far the greater part of them due to the
rency depreciation. The declining value of money
makes French and German and Austrian and
Italian families go hungry and ragged. 1t makes
business men in these lands fearful of any recon-
structive enterprises. Once solve the money ques-
ton and, we are convinced, the rest Of Europe's
troubles will disappear.
Old world statesmen and politicians in
capable of finding any satisfactory solution. In
dustria leaders might do better if they had free
hand-but they are restricted that their efforts
amount to almost nothing at all. The ono type
of man in the world capable of untangling the
into which the money system of Europe has
been juggled is the American banker
He is a much abused individual He gets no
credit for altrustic impulses He generally is pic
tured a. cold-hearted, machine-like creature
concerned only over the appearance of his own
ledger. He is held up before the public as the
sinister monster to whom human life and human
happiness nothing.
These pictures are far from photographs The
- American banker is, generally, warm-hearted,
sympathetic He cannot, of course, give way
to temporary impulses. He must mask
most of the time. But does more to keep
the people we'll fed well clothed and at peace with
each other. No man does more to keep the ma
ton and world prosperous.

Whatever plan the American bankers have to
propose will be awaited with interest by the en-
tire world. They hold in their hands the keys to
international prosperity and they determined
TO unlock the doors. But in order to do so they
must stumble Of political and military
junk. They have, in the first place, hold on the
worlds money. They have, in the second place,

With these two advantages they apt to go a

ROLLER BEARING
TEST SUCCEEDS

LONDON. Oct. S.-A new roller
bearing for railway coaches. which
passed its preliminary trials, Will,
if brought into general use. make
railway travel cheaper and more
comfortable.
Experimental trials carried out
on level track of line near Lon
don have been completely satisfac-
tory, and experiments will be con-
Quoted soon under actual running
conditions.
1t was proved by the tests that.
whereas 1t requires seven men to
push a seventy-seven-tonc coach. one
man can easily push coach of the
same weight if it is fitted with the
new roller bearing.
This means that the new roller
bearing would effect an immense
saving of fuel and also in the wear
and tear of locomotives and the
permanent way. The saving in fuel
alone will, in the opinion of rail-
way officials, be at least 25 to 80
per cent.
1.-The difficulty has always been
that no metal capable of Standing
the heavy strain has been available.
The new bearing has been rendered
possible by the great Improvement
made in the manufacture of steel
since the war. Hitherto the roll
ers have quickly worn and become
conical In the present. case this
difficulty has been overcome by the
use of particularly hard but not
brittle steel.
About a dozen rollers are locked
