Loan Office Opened.
In the large cities it is quite common
to Hee loan offices, where one may go
and get a loan on clothing, jewelry or
in fact anything of value, but seldom
one finds them in small cities. Two
men came here last week, looked the
city and surrounding country over care
fully and concluded that the large busi
ness done here would justify the estab
lishment of a loan office, they leased
the room vacated by the Ontario Nat
ional Bank, and are now ready to make
you a loan of any size, provided you
have the security to leave with them.
These men, Brer.nik and Watson, are
familiar with their business, have quite
a stock of unredeemed pledges on hand
and will be glad to have you cull when
in need of a loan or looking for a bar
gain in second hand clothing at your
own price, bs they have a large stock
on hand.
Look for the sign of the three balls.

CUSTOMS LOSS OFFSET
Beer and Wines to Bear Brunt of New
War Revenue Tax.
Washington. Democratic members
of the ways and means committee
have agreed virtually on a list of
commodities susceptible to special
taxation to raise the $100,000,000 re
quested by President Wilson to offset
the loss In customs receipts caused
by the conflict in Europe.
Although no announcement was
made, It Is certain that beer and wines
shall raise the greater portion of the
needed revenue and that there shall
he no tax on railroad tickets and gaso
line. Strenuous opposition met the Un
derwood proposition for a tax on rail
road tickets, the argument being that
such n tax would antagonize the trav
