Catholic Foresters Held
Big Anniversary Event
BANQUET, PROGRAM AND DANCE
MONDAY EVENING WAS
REAL SUCCESS

The Eagle River Court Of Catholic
Foresters proved to be very adept In
the art of entertaining the public,
Monday evening, the occasion OF the
first anniversary of the body. The
largest crowd that has been gathered
in the opera house for some time was
on hand promptly at 700 to pass
verdict upon the dinner, consisting of
three varieties of roast meat with all
the accompanying accessories. Three
large tables were laid with a smaller
one at the end occupied by visiting
cburt members from Amigo, Fond du
Lac and elsewhere. The Eagle River
band was first given a clear track and
though they tried hard enough to
make a serious dent in the spread,
they couldn't do it. After every
one had been served until they were
ashamed to look at the victuals, the
evening program consisting of selec-
lions by the band, addresses by sever
al speakers, and vocal solos were
given This entertaining program was
concluded about 1890 and then the
dancing began furnishing those pres
ent with further pleasure. It was an
enjoyable affair in every way and the
Foresters are entitled to much credit
for promoting an event which if it
improves with age as some things do,
will be one to be looked forward to.

"A LOSING BARGAIN

| Everybody in Old Home Town felt
proud when it secured furniture fac
| tory several years ago. True, the fac
/ tory employed in flush times only a
superintendent, a combination book
keeper-stenographer and about a doz.
en- workmen But it was Old Home
Towns first factory.
The Old Home Town Commercial
Club had to make an alluring bid to
win the factory away from other coun-
try towns that nursed hopes of indus
trial greatness. Two acres abutting
the railroad yards were bought by
popular subscription and given as a
free site; moreover it was generally
understood the tax. collector would
be reasonable" in his visits to the
factory
About the same time the factory
was secured the farmers in the county
decided to build cooperative elevator
and shipping pens. They took up with
the Old Home Town Commercial Club
the matter Of getting a good site near
the railroad yards. But the CONNER
cial club wasn't much interested; it
didn't particularly like the idea of
farmers getting into business, anyway
It figured that. the first thing anybody
knew they'd be stepping on some town
mr. Tho g, II 20,
ed site they could see the real
estate men about it.
So the farmers finally located their
elevator and shipping pens at New
burg, village some ten miles distant
from Old Home Town. Newburg didn't
have a factory and wasn't very hopeful
of ever getting one. 1t welcomed the
farmers and saw that they got a
good site at a fair price After all,
some of them were neighbors who
bought quite lot of stuff at New
burg stores in the course of a year.
The furniture factory in which Old
Home Town once rejoiced is closed
now 1t was too small to stand the
keen industrial competition. The sup
erindendent, the bookkeeper-steno
rapher and the twelve workmen have
moved away to where they can find
work. The merchants in Old Home
Town are complaining about business
being poor these days; they say they
haven't SO many regular customers
as they once had and they wonher
why
The answer is that they have lost
the trade of something like a hundred
farm families that now do their buying
at NeWburg, because there is where
they market their grain and livestock.
More families are turning to Newburg
every year; it really isn't so much
farther when you have an automobile
And the Newburg business men seem
to appreciate the farm trade. It's
pleasant to go there.
Hundreds of Old Home Towns are
still making or trying to make the
same losing bargain today. They are
reaching out after the will-o'-t he-wisp
of factories and mills and paying little
attention to the greatest factory the
farm. Yet in the main they all are
wholly dependent for their prosperity
on the farms that surround them

WILL KEEP HOSPITAL

The Oneida county board came to
the rescue of Rhinelander, in danger
of losing its public hospital, by MAX
ing an appropriation Of $4,000 to help
keep it there. The balance of the nee

necessary institution should leave
there.

RAINBOW'S END.

What an amiably confiding species
is the human race, especially in mat
ters of finance Gold bricks glow
and fade, perpetual motion engines
perpetually cease to move; the long
files of easy dollars glide peacefully
down hill from the bank accounts
of the trustful to the pockets of the
ingenious, and still adheres in the
breast of mankind the ineradicable
expectation that fortune waits just
around the turn. Consider, for eX-
ample, the ease with which a genius
with a new electric light device has
been selling his stock to the eager
public The light is alleged to be
self-sufficient, self
supporting and capable of burning
for three years alone in it's little
bulb without expense, wires or other
eXtraneous aid, and to be salable at
Email cost. No inventor has yet be-
held the marvel; the enterprise is
still in the preparatory stage
here. But the inventor asserts
that he once made one in far-oit
South America which was shattered
by "A lightning bolt, presumably
hurled by envious Jove, or perhaps
conjured by the alarm electric light
interests. On this basis he and his
company have been selling par SO
shares of stock as high as $50, Not
too high IA rate, perhaps. for the
kind of education in store for the
purchaers, and if nobody believed
fairy tales, what a dreary world this
would be! --Leslie's Weekly.

RISING FROM ITS RUINS.

The whole of the war-torn area
centering around Ypres, Belgium, is
rapidly regaining its prewar aspect,
thanks to the industry and perse-
verance of the hardy Belgians. so
courageously carrying on the work
of bringing their beloved land out
Of chaos.
Those who have not visited the
country in three years are amazed
at the change that has been wrought
in and about the following places:
Courtrai, Menin, Colmes, Hill so.
Ypres, Poperinghe, KENNEL, Zonne-
beke, Moorslede. Roulers, Staden,
Dixmude. Furnes, Neipert and Os-
tend.
A few years ago one could drive
hour after hour through wilder
ness of shell holes and rank gas from
village which had entirely been
blotted off the face of the earth to
town of which the few walls left
standing averaged perhaps three
feet in height, and one had found
the pioneers of the returning popu
lation living miserably in Nissen
huts and squalid shanties.
Today the shell holes are the eX-
ception; they have been filled in
with the spade and plowed over
with motor cultivators, and where
there used to be the foul and rug
ged wilderness are now clean and
level fields. At the time of the ar
mistice there were 100000 acres of
land which had been laid waste;
now there is not one-twentieth of
this area not under cultivation
better than ever Generally speak
ing, and apart from the absence of
any living or unriddled tree, there
is virtually nothing about the land
scape to suggest that it has ever
been devastated at all. A few tanks
remain stranded where they were;
one passes little dumps of wire and
shells and an abundance of concrete
pill boxes sinking lop-sidedly in the
mud.
But until noon, when the daily
destruction of ammunition begins,
and the boom of muffied explosions
comes from afar, it would be easy,
throughout most of the battle area.
to forget altogether the dreadful
years which filled the air with tu-
multi and drenched the very soil be-
meath human feet with blood.
A new feature of the landscape
since two years ago is the springing
up of farms. One sees them every
where with their bright red house
roofs and spacious barns. Some of
them are a great improvement on
the old buildings. But it is, for the
most part, only in the case of the
farms that the people have taken
advantage of the rebuilding to
bring their houses up to date. AS
IA rule, they have simply put them
back exactly as they were before.

GERMAN LOAN NOW
HOLDS UP ACTION
OF FINANCE MEET
Rejection of Hermes Of
fer to Balance Budget
Assured

Paris, May 25-The second day of
| the International Bankers conference
finds the situation less .reassuring for,
according to Berlin advices, Germany
is likely to reject finance Minister
Hermes' proposals for balancing the
budget, which the reparation commits
sion found acceptable. Such step
would considerably add to the already
monumental task before the bank
ers-that of Strengthening out the Eu-
ropean financial tang1e, in which the
German situation forms one of the
most stubborn knots.
Even if the Hermes' proposals are
endorsed in Berlin, today's newspa-
pers point out, the bankers will not
perhaps be satisfied with the guaran-
tees which the reparations commission
deems adequate. j. P. Morgan, who
admittedly dominates, will not be in
fluenced by sentimental or diplomatic
proposals, it is said. He will require
tangible securities which can readily
be controlled.
One point to be settled is the
amount of the loan to Germany, which
is considered essential to any real set
tlement. This, according to the Jour
nal, falls within the special province
of Mr., Morgan; Sir Kindersley, Brit
ish delegate and Dr. Vissering, repre-
senting Holland.
These three will also have to re-
solve to what extent Germany will
participate in the issue, for it is felt
that, inasmuch as Germany is to get
part of the loan to help in her econom-
ic restoration, she shall be required
to invest therein som of the foreign
currency, estimated at 6,000,000,000
gold marks, which she possesses
abroad.
AS to the rate of interest, the
French maintain that it shall be fixed
as low as possible so that this charge
will not be too heavy burden on the
Germans. and thus give them an op-
portunity to say they have nothing
left with which to ray their war rep
While the bankers are celebrating

thor of which, ccording to the news
