BLAZE THREATENS BIG
PLATTEVILLE HOSTELRY

Fire which broke out in the
Stanchfield hotel shortly after mid
night Tuesday for time threatened
the big structure with destruction,
but work by the fremen averted the
danger. The Stanchfield has been in
the limelight frequently during the
pas two years on account of litiga-
ton growing out of the contract under
which the hostelry changed hands.
The fire started back of the first floor
fireplace and probably was due to an
overheated f1ue. The loss will amount
to about $1,000.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY S. w. STRAUS,
President American Society for Thrift

great many people whose incomes
arc small excuse themselves from
practicing thrift on the plea that they
cannot save anything and maintain a
decent standard of living While it
may be true in some isolated cases
that circumstances over which they
have no control make ii impossible
for them to get ahead in the world,
these instances are exceptional and
often temporary character.
The old saying that. where there's
a will there's a way" applies with full
force to the practice. of saving money.
Those who do not save or who think
they cannot are, TO great extent, not
honest with themselves They are I'M
willing to make certain sacrifices.
Their minds are biased by false pride
or egotism. Their viewpoint is in
correct. II they would give the prob
lem sufficient study they would be
able to find ways by which they could
save something even though the
amounts be very small.
And upon ones ability to find such
ways OF saving money. depends ones
chances of success in life.
This is phase of the matter that
should be given the deepest con-
sideration.
If you cannot find way of saving
money out of your present income,
you lack the quality of success.
Success in life is largely matter
OF will power. and the man who can
not stiffen his spine and set his Jaw
with sufficient resoluteness to say. 81
will save" lacks the power of over
coming those obstacles which lie in
the pathway of every successful per-
SON.
Also it must be borne i'm mind that
those who do not take sufficient in
forest in their own welfare to lay by
certain portion of their earnings for
the future do not care enough about
real success ever to achieve any sub
stantial place in the affairs of men.
Before there can be success there
must be a desire to succeed; and this
desire must be so deep that it over
comes above every barrier
Saving money, therefore. cannot be
judged by the amount involved. Its
true value lies in the effect it has on
the mind and on the character.

TUESDAY. JUNE 8. 1922.
A LOAN TO GERMANY

The committee of international
bankers which has signihed a
Willingness to extend loan of a
billion dollars to Germany pro-
viding certain allied conditions
concerning reparations are COM
piled with, is now hard at work
trying TO smooth out the financial
problems involved. 1t will be by
no means an easy task for the
committee to bring its labors to a
successful termination, but there
will be general qualification if it
finds a way to remove the OBJ
stacles so that the contemplated
Joan may be effected.
No stronger or more convinc-
ing evidence of return of CON
tidence and courage to Europe
could be presented than would be
the granting of such a loan by
the bankers. If billion dollar
loan is given Germany, it may
dc depended upon that the men
who advance the money have
sufficient reasons that it will be
repaid. That would mean that
they believe not only in the es-
sential security of the German
Republic but also that they have
implicit faith and confidence III
the eventual re-establishment OF
all Europe,
1t may be depended upon that
a loan To Germany, if made, will
be accomplished by a reform OF
the German currency system and
a slowing down of the high-speed
presses that have been turning
out paper marks in almost count
less numbers for many months.
Whatever sacrifices may be in
Nolved i'll stopping imitation, the
Germans may as well be prepar-
ed to make. Sooner or later they
must return to sanity III cur
rency and taxation. Sooner or
later they must levy the taxes
that obligations make imperative.
And Germany might as well be-
gin now.

\ PROTECTING" THE PUBLIC

Recent utterances of leading
Republican and Independent
newspapers on the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff bill should serve
as a warning to congress that the
pending tariff legislation is Who'll
~ Objectionable to the country at
large; that dissatisfaction with
the bill is not partisan but is of
a general character. We quote,
as follows, from few of those
papers:
New York Herald (Rep.) Ut
is about year since Congress
passed the emergency tariff act
to protect the American farmer
from being undersold in his own
home market by a flood of agri-
cultural products from across
the northern border. The re-
suits are roughly covered in the
trade between the Dominion and
the United States for the twelve
months to April / last. They
show that while the emergency
tariff has been in effect we have
lost nearly $l00,0O0,000 more in
sales to Canada than Canada has
lost III sales to us. And to that
the existing emergency tariff is
a gentle tap compared with the
blow the Fordney and McCum-
Der schedules could give to our
whole foreign trade.

For the policy to which it is

The question presented is diff
cult-whether to go through with
a bad business, or to withdraw
from it. The mistake was in
turning the fortunes of the party
over to Fordney, and men of his
school, Probably not in the his
