BANKERS WORK SECRETLY
Only Thing Known Is That No De- cisions Will Be Made At Paris Until End of Month.

Paris, May 26. (By Associated Press)-A mantle of secrecy has been drawn about the proceedings of the international convention bankers meeting here to solve the financial problems of Europe.
 The only apparent certainty today was that nothing decisive would be accomplished before the last day of this month, the date fixed by the reparatons commission for fulfill ment of it's terms by the German gov ernment.
 This phase of the Germans diff culties is inextricably woven into the problems under consideration but the bankers apparently do not feel it is their business to find an expedient to tide over the difficult hour whatever may be the feeling of the French gov ernment or the other allies in the matter.

EASY MONEY

HERE is nothing that so appeals to the ave-
rage human as the thought of acquiring easy
money. The most wonderful thing that might
happen to any individual, according to magma
tions argument, is that fortune might suddenly
drop into the lap with no effort on the part of the
recipient and obligations exacted in the spend
ing Of it.

EXTENSIVE STREET IMPROVEMENT.

flIlzENs are going to have to endure some In.
N>conyenienee while the extensive paving pro-
city is beginning is carried out but 1t will
certainly be worth while In the end, and every
body is delighted to see paving improvements ex-
tend as rapidly as possible.
Improving Maple Avenue is one move that is
especially eommendable. This street is in very
bad condition. The roughness OF it is appalling
and when 1t is recalled that all funeral professions
to Woodlawn must pass over Maple avenue, the i'm
portance of keeping this street in condition is most
EVIDENT Maple Avenue HAS been needing atten.
ton for a long time.
Bids are also invited for work on Mckinney
Street Hamilton and Fourteenth Street. fine
tribute to the progressiveness of the citizens lly.
ing on these streets who are willing to bear their
share Of the costs of the improvement in order to
have good streets before their properties. Haml-
ton Street, lies high up on Tank Hill, that hill
whiehsus to be known as Hamlltons Hill, being
part the old Elmus Hamilton property. This
street which is completely built up, is badly in
need OF the paving that 1t is to have. Every rain
washes quantities OF dirt from Hamilton to Spring
Street and thence to the intersection of Maple
Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue, keeping con-
slant accumulation of dirt at this place The paw
ing of Hamilton Street will stop the mess that is
an annoyance to pedestrians coming into town
from these outlying points.
Mckinney Street centers one OF the Italian dis.
trtcts Of the city. The Italian residents here have
nice homes, and have great pride in taking care
ofstheir places. They own their own homes, and
are fne citizens in every respect. They have been
asking for street improvement for good while
aud the fact that they to get their desire will
be- gratifying to all who like to see the foreign
born population given fair treatment and benefit

city limits.

the woodmen and their ladies
were on the job. the fragrant odor
Of hot coffee and frying weiner1
pertumed the air and all present

to prepare the feast. A number Of
the members Of the organization
went to the camp earlier in the
afternoon and enjoyed a swim
before the cool Of the evening.
The party returned TO the city
