Letter to Carl Rhode.

NEhOtSA, WIS.
Dear Sir: AS a painter you probably
use lead and oil, and would naturally
OBJECT to Devoe Ready Paint Let US
have few words on the subject.
Painters say a good lead and oil job
will last three years, and they say a
house ought TO be painted once in
three years.
We take them TO mean that their
work is good for three years, no more
and DO less. or not much more and not
much less.
Do you want your work to last
longer? What do you say to six years?
You'd have to have twice as much
work you know; or you'd be losing
money.
Consider the case of your doctor
You call him in. Is it better for him
TO get your child out OF bed tomorrow.
or keep him sick for mouth?
You prefer quick doctor So does

For half century the people of
Adams county have patiently waited
for railroad to come their way.
During these many years they have
talked discussed and argued the

companies, but nothing tangible has
resulted. Now they are about to
make a last effort to land the prize
they will offer a $4,000 bonus to any
railroad company chat promises TO

THE Wild Rose Times and the
Waupaca papers are making much
ado on the potato question. OF course
both towns claim that they are paying
the highest price for potatoes. And
now the dispute has gone SO far that
the Waupaca Record has resorted to
the publishing of testimonials. If
the good farmers in those communities
are in doubt on this burning question,
let them take their potatoes to Grand
Rapids where they can dispose Of them
to great advantage,

THE election Of Senator Teller 10
succeed himself means that the senate
will be divided after March +, the
same as at present. The terms of
thirty senators will expire on that
date. Eighteen Republicans and
twelve Democrats will reach the end
of the terms for which they were
elected and the senators returned
will be eighteen Republicans and
twelve Democrats. -Four seats are
lost by the Republicans, one each in
Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky
and Nevada: four are gained, however,
one each from Kansas, Idaho, Utah
and Washington.

For 1902 the aggregated additions
to the assessed valuations of greater
New York amounted to $3.50, 1874, $40.
Ten mills, on this addition alone,
would give an income of nearly
$24, 600, 00O-morc than enough to
rebuild every state institution in
Wisconsin, give $4,000 public
building to every city and hamlet in
Wood county, and training school
to all counties in the state-and yet
have large balance on hand for
other Improvements. Such an
enormous increase in only one short
year is enough to make even the most
hardened boOdler pause Il moment
before he leaps.

A NUMBER Of the state legislators
are struggling with primary election
bills-they are uncertain as to what
provisions should be incorporated in
such a bill. The best way out Of the
difficulty is to formulate primary
election law which will have the
unqualified approval Of Gov. LaFol-
lette-a and thus the support Of the
great majority of WisconSin's voters.

THE farmers of Rudolph and vicinity
are voicing the sentiments of hundreds
of fellow-workerS in central and
northern Wisconsin. Recently they
petitioned Senator Wipperman and
Assemblyman Cady to introduce a
bin in this session of the legislature
providing that it shall be punishable
by heavy fine to permit a dog
afflicted with hydrophobia to be left
at large and that any dog found
running at large may be shot at sight.
We trust that such bill will be
passed as it would protect many Of
the farmers against the great losses
that they are now yearly compelled to
suffer

IT is not very long time since the
Bell company held sway in Grand
Rapids and charged such cXorbitant
rates that the business men organized
Il telephone company of their own.
But the Bell corporation has not
reformed. and cities throughout the
state are compelled to pay these
unjust rates, knowing this condi-
tion of affairs, a measure will be
presented to the legislature providing
a schedule of telephone rates for cities
Of all classes in the state A cut of
from 33b to so per cent. on the rates
now charged by the Bell company
would be step in the right direction.
