Every habitable boose is occupied, and more bouses are so badly needed that invest ment building; is talked of. The town has more business bouses carrying larger and better stocks than at any time since the halcyon days of the stage coach, when It was Pendleton's only rival. Among- these k a beautiful new store established by local capital, but even prior to its advent the older merchants had caught the spirit of hustle and were reaching- out after new business. If they cared to give out the fignres it would probably be found that a surprising volume of trade is enjoyed by Weston's leading establish ments. A better feeling is in the air, snd one hears words of encouragement on every fide. Were wheat and barley moving freely the focal situation would almost take on the aspect of a com- mercial boom. ASPECTS OF TEC 116 UtM. Arrangements have been completed for the half-billion dollar loan to the Allies. The underwriting banker get the bonds st 96 cents and will re-sell them' to the public at 03 cents. The securities run five years at five percent and are then convertible into four and one-half percent bonds. - -? - None of the money goes abroad. The Allies merely wsnt an American credit in order to pay for food supplies and war munitions and to facilitate ex change. In fact, the loan is expected to prove a boon to the American farm er by Henry Clews and other financial writers. The Allies will now buy his wheat without easting about for other sources ol supply. Xbey will not await the possible opening of the Dar danelles and the release of Russian wheat. In fact, the loan's stimulus is already felt in rising markets. Even the pro-German America farm er need not bother about the ethics of the transaction. Let him sell his wheat when the price suits him, pay his obli gations and rejoice. ' While the Allies are incurring enormous war 'debts, the security risk is the underwriting bank- to f THISTLEDOWN 1 "Time la money am motorists can save about 125 per ailnuts by driving slowly through Weston. , If Wall Street aeoVa Prosperity, it baa only to follow its Clews. e "Who wae Alexander, pa, and why oo wey can nun grcatr "Son, you disappoint me.

No such a governmental lapse was ever re corded in history, but neither wss an other such a costly snd colossal wsr. The United States government had nothing to do with this loan. It was negotiated by private bankers, entire ly within their right, with representa tives of the Ententf Allies. " Germany has no legitimate complaint to make. Were she in a position to negotiate and utilise' a similar loan, she would not hesitate to do so.' " ' 1 Even so, the loan is s financial vic tory for the Allies, as is their smash ing drive on the western front a mar tial victory.
