FIR. 0'REILLY
ADDRESSES The
KIWANIS CLUB
Has Many interesting ExperieRc,
es During His Recent Trip To
Europe

One of the most enjoyable of the
kiwanis luncheons took place We'd
nesday noon at the Warren House,
the Rev. FIR. Z. c. O'Reilly being the
speaker of the occasion.
An invitation was read from the
Portage Kiwanis club, inviting the
members and their ladies to be pres
ent at a dinner and dance to be Civ
en- in the early part of October.
Kiwanians from Sparta also will be
present and a large number from
Baraboo will probably attend.
Three new members were present
for the first time. W. L. Cash, r. J.
Osborne and 7. F. Keefe.
Tells of Travels
FIR. O'Reilly spoke of his recent trip
to Europe and his talk was thorough
~ enjoyed by the club members. Most
of his time was spent in Ireland,
this being the old home of FIR O'Reil-
ly and he had many interesting eX-
periences in that turbulent country.
He told of the conditions existing
there and said that better than 80
per cent of the people living in Ire
land were well pleased with the
peace treaty made with England.
The Baraboo priest had a personal
interview with DeValera. While in
Dublin, he witnessed considerable
fighting. During his stay in a hotel
there, the baggage of many of the
hotel guests was seized to serve as
barricade material in the fighting
and many Americans lost all of their
baggage. While FIR. O'Reilly Jared
better, he concluded that he had bet
ter move and he cut short his visit
there.
Visits Continent
Among other places he visited, the
traveller made a tour of the battle
grounds of Germany and France. He
stopped at Chateau Thierry, Coblenz
and Nancy and attended the Passion
Play. He also spent some time in Eng
land and saw many points of inter
est and persons of note.
At the close of his sOjourn abroad,
FIR. O'Reilly said that he felt glad to
return to America and that he is
now better satisfied with this cOun-
try after having visited many others.

AT the present time the traveller in

Sincerity of Eggs
Called Into Question

1t is pretty generally agreed that
eggs, like Caesars wife, should be
above suspicion. But, in the face of
this popular demand and desires, the
egg consumers must confront a stead
lily increasing effort to make eggs as
insincere as dicers' oaths or political
promises.
1t is a common practice, we are
informed, for eggs to be put upon the
market, as fresh eggs" henfruit that
was CLEANED months before. Read
this and weep:
"It is commonly thought that stor-
age eggs are in some way inferior,
whereas they are the choicest eggs of
the year. most of them laid in April,
the month of higest quality. They are
carefully candled and put into cold
storage Immediately. Until the last
two or three months of the storage
season they are SO fresh that retailers
often buy them from wholesalers,
candle out the best and sell them as
fresh eggs"

How important such legislation is

by the fact that today there are

Makes for ExtravaEance.
1t is argued that the existence Of
conditions that enable any munich
pality or political subdivision to issue
tax-free securities is q constant
temptation to issue such securities
in larger amounts than is necessary.
1t amounts to . subsidy offered to
every such corporation with regard
to its own direct borrowing. It also
operates as an inducement to every
municipality to have all kinds of pub
lie utilities owned and controlled by
the municipality itself, thereby es-
Gaping its proper share Of federal and
state taxation.
This condition Of affairs makes
it difficult for public utilities. pri-
financial condition, for in proportion
as tho money can be obtained cheap
er on bonds that are tax exempt, the
rate becomes higher on those that
are subject to the tax levy. =.
When, so large an amount-$la,

vested in tax-exempt securities the
inevitable result is that it is more
difficult to obtain money for ordinary
private business and that investment
in productive business Is discouraged.
AS the federal government finds
less amount Of securities on which an
income tax can be levied, the hlgher
must be the rate on tho amount that
is subject to tax.
Those who have given this problem
close and expert study insist that as
time proceeds the mass of tax.exempt
securities, already so great. will con-
tinue to increase until every induce
ment will be offered to the man
having a large income to make his
investments solely IN. IN ssv
