Stock and Bond Sales.

We need not worry about the rich
widow who is taken in by a spirit
ualistic confederate of a ring of
crooks, or the retired manufactures
who drops $4,000 or so in a stock
swindle.
What we should worry about is the
small wage-earner who is concerned
with the future of his family and de-
termined that his children will not
have to put up with the hardships he
has had to suffer. He skimps and
saves. He makes up his mind to in
vest his money SO as to have an in
come that will make it unnecessary
for him to be dependent upon any
one in his old days. He gets a little
nest egg together. 1t is not merely
little hoard of dollars 1t repre-
sents the sweat of toll, frequently the
suffering that comes from depriving
ones self of all but the bare neces-
stiles of life. Then comes the smooth
pA pAolIloICl-dIlu CuC uCSl-0SS Is SOu0.
The small merchant, the corner
grocer, the butcher, the baker, the
candlestick maker, all these are inter
ested in the campaign to wipe out
fraudulent stocks and punish those
who would sell them. Much of the
money that is whisked away would
have found it's way eventually into
the tills of the neighborhood shop
keepers.
Properly invested in home enter
prises, such as the securities of the
electric, gas or telephone company,
it would yield dividends or interest
that still further would swell the To-
cal reservoirs of credit. 1t would not
only do this but would assist in fur
ther development of the home town
and through increasing the earning
possibilities of the family, would
make life more pleasant.
Only through concerted effort
against get-rich-quick swindlers can
they be driven out of business and
the small investor educated to invest
his savings in safe and proper invest
ments.-Exchange

Did You Ever Stop To Think

That no citizen is so powerful,
none so humble, that the city in
which he lives is not an aid to him
in some way.
That some citizens are always
boosters for their city. They accom-
plish much in community betterment
and this not only improves them
selves, but the citizens who are al
ways riding on the wagon that the
live citizens are pulling uphill
That your city should be cosmo-
politan in architecture as we'll as
population.
That frankly and honestly, you
live in live city. Do all your citi-
zens appreciate their city as much as
they should?
That despite the keen competition
for trade advantages that is ahead
OF your city, your business will main
tain it's place in the front ranks of
industrial and commercial leadership
of your section, only through COOP
Grafton of all your business men.
That now is the time for all citi-
zens to join hands and make your
city the most modern city and the
most progressive city in your section
of the country.
That you should stop to think and
do it now. What kind of a city
would your city be if every citizen
were just like you? Would it be a
live growing city, or would it be like
a living cemetary

GREAT RUSSIAN TRIAL
ENDS; FOURTEEN TO DIE
Pardons Are Granted to lnformers
Against the Social Revolution
aries-Three Are Acquitted.

Moscow, Aug. 10.-Fourteen of the
thirty-four social revolutionists, ac-
cused of high treason against the
soviet government, have been SEN
fenced to death by the Bolshevist
tribunal appointed to hear the case.
Among the condemned are several who
turned informers.
Three defendants were acquitted and
the remainder received prison SEN
tences of two to ten years.
The death sentences against twelve
were upheld by the central executive
committee, but an indefinite stay of ex-
ecution was ordered Oh the condition
that the social evolutionary party
cease it's counter-revoIutionar activ-
lty. otherwise the sentenced leaders
are liable to the courts judgment.
Meanwhile all those sentenced to
death or to various terms Of imprison-
ment are to be held in strict conine-
ment.
Regarding the informers the COM
mlttee agreed to request the tribunal
to grant pardons.
Defiance of the 'ourt was shown by
22 of the accused during pronounce
ment of sentences. These defendants
refused to stand up with the others.
They were ushered from the hall by
armed soldiers and sentence was then
pronounced.
Included in those under sentence of
death are three women-Eugenie M.
Rattner, whose defiance Of the prose-
cutton in the later stages OF the trial
was most pronounced; Helen Hanova
and Lydia Konoplova, who in turning
1nformer declared she was chosen by
the party to kill Premier Lenin.
From the very beginning of the trial
on June 8 the principal defendants
took the stand that they were respon-
sible, not to the court, but to history
and to their own conscience.

PROPOSALS
REJECTED BY BRITISH
London Cabinet Refuses to Approve
Frances Economic Rehabilitation
Pian-Ministers Pessimistic.

London, Aug. 1.-THE British cabi-
net rejected the proposals made by
Premier Poincare at the conference
for economic rehabilitation Of Europe.
The crisis thereby precipitated was
sharpened in Paris by the French
cabinet, which voted it's approval of
the Poincare policy.
Following the meeting of the British
cabinet to consider the serious inter-
national situation which has resulted
from the Anglo-French differences, it
was suggested that temporary mora
torium be given to Germany while
plans are made for another interna-
tional conference for final settlement.
After the meeting the ministers were
pessimistic. Counter-proposals to take
the place of the Poincare program with
it's productive forfeits," we're dis
cussed. 1t was generally agreed that
the conference could not escape col
lapse unless the French indemnity
program was modified
1t was reported Premier Poincare
would not take de cisive action until
he consults the French chamber Of
deputies. SO far he has stood adam
ant in demanding ratification Of his
program. The productive forfeits,"
according to officials, are merely an
other term for penalties upon Ger
many.

pOsals of Premier Theunis of Belgium

OBJECT LESSONS IN ROADS.

In their automobile tour of four
hundred miles over roads in ten of
the southern counties of Wisconsin,
members of the Press Association re-
ceived object lessons in road-making
which they will not soon forget.
Roads properly constructed having a
good foundation and surfaced with
gravel or mine-tailings, were easily
travelled, and perfectly safe. Rain
came on several times, and at sever
al places along the journey; and dirt
roads showed up to very poor ad-
vantage. The dirt roads were quite
slippery, and unsafe for travel at a
reasonable rate of speed.

vince the people of Iowa county that
they are losing out in aiding the con-
