Salad DaYa.

Quite the simplest Interpretation of
the trite phrase salad days" refers it
simply to the fresh green quality and
character of such vegetables as are
grown for salad and which may be
taken as typical of the raw inexperi-
ence of youth. Probably it was used in
this connection by Shakespeare in can

The fact that it is the best

Editor of Chicago Speed Thinks Grand Rapids
Has Much Favor able 10 LARGE Growth.

"a trip in Central Wisconsin has
some surprises for one from Illinois.
Certainly there is an abundance of
rough land that is Of little use for
farming, but the larger part not
available for grain or root crops can
be used for stock. Stock raising and
clarifying is on the increase in the
hardwood country of Wisconsin, prin-
cipally because of the abundant grass
ana clover crops of which the lands
are capable, and the pure water which
can be had at an easy depth anywhere.
A number of people are experiment.
ing with alfalfa, and if it can be
successfully grown will be valuable
addition to the assets of the Central
Wisconsin farmer.
The number Of creameries is con-
Stantly on the increase, and in Mara
thon county alone are now twenty
odd.
Perhaps the banner counties in
richness of soil and possibilities for
supporting great number of people
are Marathon, Lincoln, Langlade,
Wood. Jackson and Clark. In all of
these counties are many beautiful
farms with good, substantial buildings.
The owners of these farms, who mostly
live upon them, are prosperous and
have substantial bank accounts In
fact farmers, townSpeople, mill men
and factory owners appear to realize
that prosperity is in the land, even
though the wages in mills and factories
are not those paid in Southern Wis
cOnSin and Illinois. Even for a dollar
and half Gay for most workers "a
per cent of the $4,000 population of
WauSau own their own homes, and
the other six per cent. are making an
effort to do so. In Grand Rapids,
with like wage conditions, the town
is growing and workmen are getting
homes in spite of the dog-in-the-
manger spirit of the people who own
most of the land. With a spirit of
helpfulness and cooperation mani
tested by the capitalists who control
most Of the privileges in the towns Of
the Wisconsin Valley, Wausau and
Grand Rapids could each be cities of
$1,000 in few years. 1t is to be hoped
that these people with "divine rights"
will get the scales from their eyes
before socialism or some other method
is used to restore their sight. Nature
has been generous with Wisconsin,
and there is room for large popula-
tlon If its coming and settlement are
rightly encouraged
All the saw mills, planning mills, box
factories and paper mills along the
Wisconsin River and it's branches are
busy, many of them running overtime.
At Grand Rapids big paper mill to
employ 400 men is now being con-
structed and there is room for scores
more OF wood working factories of all
sorts.
The water power of the Wisconsin
is magnificent, and capable of un-
limited development. The railroad
facilities of Central and Northern
Wisconsin are good and constantly
getting better. The Northwestern
and ST. Paul are making extensions in

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
iOusness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous PrOStrations or Heart fail
ure, etc. They used August Flower
to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system. and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a few
doses OF Green's August Flower, in
liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. You can get this reliable
remedy at all drug stores. Price 25

Investigation.


WASHINGTON, D. c., May IA. L.
Fontaine, postmaster at Grand Rapids,
Wood county, against whom serious
charges were preferred some time ago,
will not be removed. Postmaster
General Payne has carefully examined
the report of the inspector who made
an investigation of the case and has
come to the conclusion that removal
is not warranted. 1t is stated at the
department that the report of the
inspector eXonerates Mr.. Fontaine
from any wrong doing. The charges
against the postmaster related to
cards distributed in Grand Rapids
which are said to have been turned
out in the printing Office conducted
by Mr.. Fontaine. 1t is understood
here that it is the intention of Repre-
sentative Brown to recommend the
reappOintment Of Postmaster Fon-
taine.
