Brass Wire as Jewelry Fad.

In East Africa the native women,
especially those of the "happer age
have adopted a novel method OF
adornment They are using miles OF
brass wire which they are winding in
fantastic fashion around their arms,
necks and the calves Of their legs.
Eighty-seven tons of this brass wire
was used by the natives last year for
personal adornment alone. Many
firms have taken to importing 1t this
year for that express purpose.

will be formally presented. to the
French commission. This contem-
plates payments over q period of 62
wears, interest at 31a per cent for 10
years and 3 per cent thereafter.
The United States. moreover, is pre-
pared to grant a moratorium or post
ponement OF certain payments, just
as was granted Belging, but there Will
be no cancellation of half the debt
contracted before the armlstice, as
was felt necessary in the Belgian case
because of the late President Wilson's S
assurances to that effect.
France is being given in writing
the American reasons for rejecting
the various proposals. The record is
being made clear SO that the world
may know if there is a failure just
why the American Government made
it's propositions. And it can be said
althoritatively that the United States
will be able to prove that it has not
asked of France terms that are as
hard as France herself has made to
other debtors in the past.
Obligation Recognized.
Several things have been established
already in the negotiations, as, for in
stance:
|. France recognizes her obligation
to pay in full the war debt, which
amounts to more than $4,000, 100000.
And she has promised to pay that
amount in 62 years. ...
2. The United States Government
not only is adamant on the payment OF
the principal in full. but will not go
below a per cent interest rate for
most of the years of payment.
3. The American commission Is alb
solutely convinced France has the ca
pacity to pay, and that. therefore,
America is driving no hard bargain.
Naturally the question is asked as
to how the agreement which is sought
at this conference differs in value from
the promissory note signed by France
when she borrowed the money from
America during the war. The answer
is that borrowings made during a war
usually have to be confirmed after
ward. when peace has been declared,
and when the usual effort at repudta-

Want RELIEF
FROM HIGH
SCHOOL TAX

A reorganization of rural high
school districts is foreseen in sew
eraI bills now in the legislature in
Madison, the purpose of which is
to detach rural territory from city
high school districts.
Within the last month, many
farmers have appeared before the
legislature in support of measures
designed to relieve rural commun-
tiles from high school taxes. 1t
was claimed that the communities
were included within high school
districts without the consent of the
rural residents.
One bill has just been passed de-
taching high school territory in the
vicinity of Fennimore. There are
several similar bills pending, action
upon which is expected this week.
Sees Education CurtaiIment
Senator G. B. Casperson (Freder-
ick) has led the fight against this
legislature, claiming that the laws
will deprive country girls and boys
from receiving a high school educa-
ton. Senator John eastman (Den-
mark) has led the fight for it, charg
ing that rural communities are
shouldered with an almost prohibit
tive tax by reason of their decision.
Blaine Mum on Bill
Gov. Blaine has given no indica-
ton as to what action he will take
on the high school territory bill
which has just been presented to
him.
The assembly has announced that
it will use it's best efforts to con-
clude it's labors this week. Mem
bers declare they will not await
the senate Investigations which are
now under way. Progress of the
legislature has been halted by two
senate Investigations but the farm
ers of the lower house are deter
mined to finish their work, if pos
sible, this week.

Judge Hill In
Drive Address

County Judge James II. Hill, in
short address at the Legion Band
concert Tuesday evening, urged
generous support of the drive for
the American Legion Endowment
Fund now in progress here, and
asserted that the whole amount
contributed by the community will
come back to it several times over
in connection with a single one of
the families it will help. AS secre-
tary of the Red Cross chapter and
in his present official position,
Judge Hill has come into intimate
contact with many pitiful cases
such as this fund is designed to
aid. He said in part:
"The fund now being raised can
never be used up; only the income
from it can be used. One half the
income will aid World War veter-
ans sick and broken in body and
spirit, the other half will help
maintain and find good wholesome
American homes for World War
orphans"
"a few years ago. shortly after
the close of the war, mother
came to the Red Cross here and
asked to have the body of her son
who had been killed in action sent
home. 1t was found impossible to
bring the body home; but in the
course of time a little package
containing his personal effects ar
rived and was turned over to the
mother. It contained his shaving
outfit, his metal mirror, his wrist
watch, and a package of letters
two from his sweetheart, one from
his sister and one from his moth
cr-all torn by the bullet which
had taken his life and sealed to-
gether by the blood which had
oozed from his breast That was
all that could be given back to the
mother"
cat that time l thought that
was one of the tragedies of the
war Now | know that the real
tragedies OF the war are not those
Of the dead but those of the liy
ing. The dead are at rest; but
those whose bodies and minds
were rent and torn by the horrors
of the war are in many cases still
suffering, and the little children
left orphans are often denied the
chance they would have had but
for the loss of, their father in the
service of his country.
The Judge told the story ~
Frank Griffin, who was gassed and
afterward contracted tuberculosis,
and who a few weeks ago, after
many months of suffering, was re-
leased by death. His wife, who
cared for him during his Illness
contracted the disease, and now
lies dying from it. Two little
children are left.
"AS we left the cemetery after
Franks funeral" said the Judge.
"the little boy said to the driver
of the hearse: Wait a minute,
mister; you have forgotten my
daddy up on the hill"

you in this drive, give! Give in
the spirit of Him who said: In

brethren, We have done it unto
