START WORK ON ELECTRIC LINE

Work on the high tension line be-
tween Eagle River and Minocqua for
the furnishing Of electricity for light
ing and power purposes by the village
of Eagle River will be begun this COM
ing Monday when two crews of men
will begin stringing the poles. In or
der to get the lime completed at the
earliest possible date, work will be
started from both ends. 1t is hoped to
have the line completed by July /.
Owing to the fact that the village
Of Eagle River is bonded to full Ca
pacity and the rate of taxation has
reached the limit, no money could be
raised by the village of Eagle River
by direct taxation or through a bond
issue to finance the high tension line
to Minocqua Public spirited citizens
of Eagle River, however, who have
faith in the project, came to the res
cue and subscribed $4,000 toward the
building of the line in the form Of
loans to the village of Eagle River.
To further assist in making the in
itial payments on the installation of
the line, the village of Eagle River
has asked patrons in Minocqua to adj
vance them $4,000 for the service
they are to receive. In making this
request the village of Eagle River is
not asking for donation or anything
Of the sort as the money forwarded
by the patrons will be applied on their
bills after the service is turned on.
The village of Eagle River will find
no trouble in getting the advance pay
ment of $4,000 from patrons here

Professor Pepp" Was
Poppy Home Talent
HIGH SCHOOL CLASS PLAY WELL
PRESENTED BY THE CLASS
OF 1924

The class of 1924 presented the play
Professor Pepp," at the high school
auditorium last Friday evening to
packed house and one that was highly
satisfied with play and the performers
that presented it in way equal to
trained professionals.
Gilbert Sanborn as the college pro-
fessor, a nervous wreck, was all that
could have been asked and displayed
marked talent for the stage.
Louis Belongy, took the part of c.
B. Buttonbuster, the elderly gentleman
taking college course mainly for the
advantages that presented themselves
for flirting with pretty girls, to per-
lection and to the disgust of his son
Howard Green, otherwise James Shes
eley, also student and very much in
love with Betty Gardner known in
private life as Elizabeth Surges, Miss
Gardner was the niece and ward Of
Professor Pepp with very decided
ideas as to who she would love and
marry.
Ronald Bent scored a. great success
in his portrayal of Sim Batty, police
officer and he was on the track of
those guilty Of attractions of the law
at all times.
Aunt Minarva Boulder, the profes-
sor's housskeeper and man hater
from Maine was exceedingly well
played by Olive Gertz. Aunt Minerva
had had her disposition soured by an
early love affair and made no attempts
to disguise her feelings regarding base
and wicked mankind
Dorothy Sheseley, as Petunia Mug
gins, the maid in the household of the
Pepp family and with warm attach
ment for Sim Batty, the policeman,
was on the job in some capacity in all
Of the thrilling announcements.
Ralph Hoover, Lawrence Morgan,
Lyle Dyer and Maxwell Ewald we're
dashing young students who kept
close watch on the situations, especial
ly when the situations included one or
more Of the young and handsome
goods.
Thelma Morgan as Olga Stopski,
the Russian dancing teacher, Clara
Henry in Kitty Glover, a souvenir col
lector, Irene Rantz, as Vivian Drew,
the college belle, Rose Gudegast play
ne Irene Van Hiit the society leader,
aasae ton as carolino Kay
won the plaIdits of the house from
he manner in which they took their
espective and difficult parts and all
combined tended to make the annual
class play one of the best eyer staged
by the school
Between the acts, the high school
orchestra gave member of well re-
ceived musical selections and Arthur
Bent recited the Cremation Of Sam
MCGEE and the Shooting of Dan Nc
Grew in a mastery way.

Propose DiScOntinuance
Of the Non-CaSh Items
COUNTRY BANKERS ASKED TO
RALLY AGAINST CHANGE IN
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
BY ROBERT FULLER

Charles A. Faircloth, President of
the National City Bank, of Tampa,
Florida, has gone to bat against some
features of the Federal Reserve Sys>
tenn which he believes to be injurious
to the smaller banks of the country,
and inimical to the interest of the
farmers.
1T is high time" he says, for the
bankers of America to lay aside
everything that smacks of selfishness
in considering matters affecting the
system so that each proposal for a
change may be considered strictly on
its merit to the end that the system
may render the greatest possible ser
vice to the banking and business in
terests Of America.
. Every banker, farmer, stoclS rass
.ser, liz fact, every one asfectae ssb
write to Hon. D. R. Crissinger, Gov
ernor Of the Federal Reserve Board
Washington, d. c., voicing objecticr
to any order disseminating the handi-
ing of non-cash items by Federal Re
serve Ranks
Non-cash items, it appears, are
notes, drafts, acceptances and other
forms of security having future date
of cash payment. AS at present operat
ed when local bank which is mem
Der of the Federal Reserve System
sends non-cash item for collection
from another bank which is mem
Der of the system there is no charge
for collections, the Federal Reserve
Bank acting as the intermediary in
the transaction. If, however the pay
ee bank is not a member of the sys-
tenn, then a difficulty arises. Often
the payee bank wants to make a high
collection charge and this the FEEDER
al Reserve bank will not permit.
The committee on the collection OF
non-cash items of the Federal Re-
serve Banks has recommended that
the Board prohibit the Federal Re
serve Banks handling non-cash items.
They contend this work is costing the
Federal Reserve Banks 10 cents per
item and that only per cent OF the
member banks, mostly in the large
cities are making use of this facility.
Mr.. Fairc1oth recently made Wig
orous protest against this recommen-
dation He points out that if this ser,
vice be discontinued it will cost the
member banks located outside the
Federal Reserve cities and branch
cities at least $5,OOO,OOO to collect
these items. This the farmers and
others using the small banks would
have to- pay They have now become
used to having their non-cash items
handled without collection charge,
and Faircloth contends to make a
charge now would create great deal
of prejudice against the system.

TURNS UP OLD RELIC


Otto Bellman of Anvil lake while
blowing last week turned up a relic
Of extreme age in the form of a moose
antler that had evidently been buried
here for hundreds Of years. It was in
a fairly good state Of preservation and
when first shed there by the moose
that wore it must have been very
large. Moose have not been known in
Wisconsin in the memories Of even
the first white men and Indian legend
makes no record of them although
some wild game authorities claim that
at one time they did inhabit the
northern part Of the state. The ant
Ter found by Mr.. Bellman indicates
that it is true.
