Bond Market Lacks
Recent Briskness

NEW YORK, Jan. II. - Today's
bond trading lacked its recent brisk
ness, with the ticker frequently idle
five minutes at a stretch in a mar
ket where gilt-edged issues lost
slightly, and speculative securities
held yesterdays gains. Business was
without feature, for the most part,
although lively interest was shown
for Southern Railways new 6hs OF
1886. offered on a So per cent yield
basis today at 941a. Books were
closed to further subscriptions imme-
diately after their opening this morn
ing at 10 o'clock, and some sales
were made as high as 95 before those
newiy-Iisted bonds caught their pace
in the market. Their greatest inter-
est lay in the fact that they were
the first noncallable rail issue carry
ing so distant a maturity date, which
had been offered on nearly per
cent basis.

SENATORS AGREE
TO ADD MEMBER
TOR RESERVE BOARD
Bill Enables President

Farmer.

Backed by the Agricultural bloc
Legislation TO enable President
Harding to place a dirt" farmer on
the Federal Reserve Board wa,
passed by the Senate yesterday by a
vote of So to ..
The measure. as II finally went
through the Senate. was the product
of a skilifui piece of compromising.
which removed the danger Of an
open break between the bloc" and
the administration. The compro-
mise, representing material conces-
sions on both sides. is the handi-
work OF Senator Kellogg, of Mime
sofa. r. Republican member OF the
bloc"
Substitute Ia Accepted.
What looked like an impending
clash between the President and the
bloc" was averted in this manner:
Mr.. Harding gave assurances that
he. favored the appointment OF a
Representative of. agriculture on the
board. Senator Kellogg proceeded
then. to draft a substitute measure.
adding a new member to the Fedora.
Reserve Board and providing that
the President, in making appoint
ments. should have due regard TO a
fair representation OF the financial.
agricultural. commercial, industrial
interests and geographical divisions
OF the country.
The President signified his will
ingness to agree to the LEGISLATION
in. this form. and the bloc" &C.
cepted the substitute. withdrawing
its original demand. In the voting
only a handful of conservatives
held out against tSe modified bin.
The votes against it were cast by
Senator'S Brandegee. of. Connecticut:
Calder. OF New York: Edge, of New
Jersey. Reyes. of New Hampshire;
Mclean, of Connecticut; Moses, of
New Hampshire: Pomerene. Of Ohio;
Wadsworth. Of New York. and WILL

The only important amendment
adopted was one offered by Senator
Harris. OF Georgia. forbiddine Fed
eral reserve banks to expend
money in excess Of $3.50. 900 for new
buildings without authority from
Congress. The vote was 20 TO 80.
Senator Mclean. OF Connecticut,
chairman OF the Banking and Cur
rency Committee. led the night
against the modified measure. He
declared that banks were droppins
out of the Federal reserve system
because they were afraid Of Con
gressional neddling."

Working Hard for Performance
Last of Month.

Director Ed Plant and his Du Pont
Club Minstrels are hard at work

the month. The music and comedy

ever. The "specialties" are fast
rounding into form, and as for the
singing, not even the director ex-
pected to be able to find as much
good talent along this line as there
is in the circle.
There is just one difficulty so far;
the singers get to laughing so hard
at the antics of the end. men that
they can't get much singing done;
but it is hoped that a lot more re-
hearsals and a few more thunder
cloud scowls from Director Ed will
remedy this fault.

ATTENTION VETERANS

If you served ninety days or more
in the Spanish-American War, the
China Relief Expedition, or in the
Philippines prior to July A, 1902, you
will be interested to know Congress
has passed Pension Law of vital
interest to you.
This law contains two provisions:
1st, it allows pensions to all ex-sol-
diers, sailors and marines with the
above service record who were honor
ably discharged and who are now over
sixty-two years of age; End, it allows
pension to those who are at present
materially disabled from earning
their living by manual labor from
disease, if the disability be not the
result of their own misconduct. Such
disability must be permanent but need
not be total. 1t need not be the re-
suit Of military service. The soldier
does not have to be siNty-two years
old to claim on disability. The
dlilOCAlLC VI PClorOil .UOPChOo oPOA SAAS
degree of disability and ranges from
$1,000 to $4,000 per month. Widows
of veterans are also allowed pensions.
If you wish advice about this law
write Walter S. Buchanan, Past Ma
tfonal Aid-de-Camp, Army and Navy
Union, Route 2, Louisa, Virginia.
Prompt action is desirable, as a pen
sion if allowed begins from the fling
of the claim.
Mr.. Buchanan, himself Spanish
War Veteran, desires to assist his
comrades in every possible way to Sc
cure any pensions to which they may
be entitled under this law. Write
him for advice, giving him your SER
vice record and enclosing stamp for
reply.

PAUL ON THE JOB

Paul Unglodt, who has taken
charge of his fathers store while Mr..
Ungrodt is sojourning in the sunny
cline of Florida, has certainly been
doing wonders and has changed the
place about so one would hardly know
it,
The old shelving which has been
used to hold tinware, has been taken
down, and racks have been arranged
in the center of the store inorder to
make buying easy. The stoves
which have occupied a place in the
center of the floor have been moved
to new location and redecorating hsa
made the place look spick and span.
Paul is a real hustler and has the
makings of good business man.

TO HOLD BIRD
HOUSE CONTEST
AMERICAN LEGION AR
RANGING FOR CONTEST
Will Offer Prizes to the Boys
and Girls Building the Best
Bird Houses. Further An
nOuncement Later.

The Bodin-Finstad Post of the
American Legion will hold meet
ing this evening to decide upon plans
for the bird house contest which
they expect to arrange for this city
and in which the boys and girls OF
the community are invited to parti-
cipate.
A number of prizes will be offered
to the children building the best bird
houses, the awards to be made by a
committee selected by the Legion
and at some time during the contest
the work of the children will be dis
played.
There will be one grand prize and
four special prizes awarded. The
children are asked to begin the work
of constructing bird houses.
Several years ago a similar contest
was conducted in this city and the
interest was great and some fine
work was done by the children. The
Bodin-Finstad post asks the co-opera-
ton of all In the contest.

THE SENATE AND
MUSCLE SHOALS

Members of the Senate who have
visited Muscle Shoals are impressed
by the tremendous Importance of the
enterprise. Chairman Norris of the
Senate Committee, favors appropriat-
ing money for the immediate compile
ton of Wilson dam and for the con-
struction of the dam on the upper
Tennessee. The Ford proposition, it
will be remembered, stipulates that
the government shall complete work
on the dams, and the reports by the
government engineers estimate that
this will cost somewhere between
fifty and sixty millions of dollars.
There is nothing in the position of
Chairman Norris to indicate that the
Senators are in favor of finishing the
project for the purpose of turning it
over to Mr.. Ford. AS matter of fact
there has been very little expression
heard from the Congressional party
with reference to the Ford offer, but
there does seem to be some sentiment
in favor of the government again
running the risk of messing up things
by operating the project itself. Sena-
tor Norris's position seems, however,
to indicate that there is disposition
on the part of Congress 10 put the
Muscle Shoals project in shape so that
If can he operated. if not by the gov
ernment, then by private parties.
No matter who operates it, nothing
can be done about it until the con-
struction work is completed. This
being the case, the Washington news
papers predict that there will be a
postponement until the next session
of Congress of decision respecting
the acceptance or rejection OF the
offer Of various persons for the Mus
Gle Shoals properties.

BURIED AT BAYFIELD,

Peter Hanson, the Bayfield, fisher
man, who died at the hospital at
Ashland last week, was buried at
Bayfield, the first of this week. The
body was being held in this city
pending the arrival of son Fred,
who resides on Sand Island. The
son had a hard time getting across
the ice. He carried row boat with
him and at times had to put the boat
into the water and make his pro.
gress among floating ice cakes, al
other times he had to walk on the
ice and carry the boat. The journey
from Sand Island to main land was
perilous one.

LAST BASKETBALL

UAm MIA
The last basketball game of the
season will be played Friday, April
z, at the Du Pont Club, between the
Scout Second team and the Union
Signals, of Ashland. The Scout
Seconds have played six games so
far this year land have won them all
by decisive scores, chalking up two
wins each over the High School Sc
conds and the Ondossagon Seconds
from Barksdale and also defeating
the Midgets of Ashland and the
Houghton Athletic Club. They
have put up good exhibition, es-
pecially in their last two games, and
are sure to give a good account of
themselves.
The Union Signals won the recent
tournament for boys teams in Ash
land, and claim the championship of
that city. They wanted to play the
Scout First team, but the First team
had disbanded, SO they are taking
the next best thing, and expect to
make mince-meat of the Scout Sc
conds. We have seen the Seconds
in action, however, and don't think
that the Ashland boys are going to
have any snap.
The preliminary game will be
played b ythe Girl Scouts, who are
arranging a game with the Barks-
dale High School girls.

IN PERMITTING SPEECHES
AT STATE CAPITOL
Delivered Last Thursday Night
At Madison by Kate Richards
O'Hare With Rotten War Re-
cord.

American Legion members
throughout the state are highly in
censed at the action of Governor
Blaine in permitting the use Of
State Capitol building at Madison for
speech by Kate Richards O'Hare
who was convicted during the war
and sentenced to Federal prison for
five years under the espionage law
for delivering seditious speeches
about the country.
When it became known by Legion
men and others that the Governor
had granted the use of the Assembly
chamber of the capitol for the Ric.
hards woman Ito air her views tele-
grams and petitions began pouring
in from all pants of the state in pro-
test, and in order that the speech
might be given without interruption
the Governor directed Adjt. Gen. Or
Iando Holway to maintain order. at
the meeting, and the meeting was
held last Thursday evening.
Col. J. w. Jackson, who attended q
protest meeting Of Legion members
held at Madison previous to the
meeting, had the following to say
about Kate O'Hare, according TO the
Milwaukee Journal: "She outranks
even the rankest murderer. We
told the Governor that she had said
that the mothers of soldiers were no
better than brood sows. He ques-
toned it. We cited the statement
of Judge Wade, the trail Judge. He
still questioned it. We said we
would wire to Judge Wade and Gov.
Nestos. Mrs, OIHare said those
who enlisted would be used as fer
tilizer-as that was all they were
good for and that American women
were no more than brood sows to
raise children for fertilizer. Gov.
Nestos wired that both the judges
and jury were convinced that Mrs.
O'Hare made these statements. We
| told Governor Blaine we would con-
slider the meeting nothing more than
| an insult to the service men, their
mothers and to the veterans of the.
past wars. The Governor said it
was UP to Mornisey and we let him
understand that we knew he had
passed the buck"
Yet the Governor premitted the
use of Wisconsin's $7,000,000 capitol
building that his parsonage might
be able to express her views to
Wisconsin people.
Legion members and other loyal
Americans will no doubt remember
this when Mr.. Blaine attempts to
persuade them to vote for him again
in the coming primaries.

LOCAL AGENCY
is IN THE LEAD

Word has just been received by
the Estabrook-Downs company, of
this city from the Home office of
the Travellers Insurance company, of
which they are representatives, to
the effect that their agency was lead
ing the Northern District in the
amount of new written Life Insur-
ance.
This is great record for the To-
cal agency as the Northern district
has more than one hundred compet-
ing agents, many of whom are locat-
ed in the larger cities in northern
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan.
The Travellers is one of the big
companies of the world and to lead
in the amount of new life insurance
written for the northern district is
quite an achievement.

HOW A SAFE MILK SUPPLY IS
INSURED FOR SMALL CITIES

Milk inspection is of prime neces-
sity. In most Of the larger cities
laboratories are maintained where
bacteria counts and chemical analysis
are frequently made on samples col
lected from retail delivery wagons,
stores and restaurants. But the
small cities and towns that can not
afford the expense of a tester and
laboratory find it hard to give proper
supervision to their milk supplies.
The United States Department of
Agriculture suggests that practical
way for such cities and towns to in
sure safe milk supply is through
the cooperation of two or more ad-
jacent towns in hiring milk inspect
or and maintaining a laboratory. The
cost of supervising such plan may
be pro-rated among the different
towns on the basis of population
without the expense being burden
some to any one of them. State and
federal authorities are always willing
to cooperate in work of this sort.
This plan of town cooperation IN
milk and dairy inspection has been
carried out in different parts of the
country, probably the most conspicu-
Gus example being the group of towns
in northern New Jersey known as
"The Oranges" In these towns the
wears with results that have been very
plan has been in use for number OF
satisfactory to all concerned.

. EIGHTEEN-FOOT BRIDGES

Few highway bridges with width
of roadway less than Is feet are now
being constructed on improved roads,
according to engineers of the Bureau
of Public Roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture. In the
past some IL feet and good many
16-foot width bridges have been con-
structed in an effort to economize,
but it is declared to have proved
short-sighted economy. Only one
line cf traffic can pass over 12-foot
roadway and 16 feet will not accomo-
date two lines in safety.
