THERE is strong move on foot
in Hooking county among the
farmers for their mutual organ
ization or union. The action is
prompted by The American Society
of Equity Of North America, and
is very commendable. If the
farmers of Hooking County would
organize into permanent union,
and fix staple price for their
produce, every business in the
county would be helped by it, and
none but first class products would
be on the market. Instead of the
grocers fixing the price on every
thing brought to market, let the
farmer through his organization,
fix the price and then there will
be no hold ups in the markets.
we can see only good to come of a
farmers organization, and we
favor it most heartily. Mr..
Matthias Walters and Mr.. Philip
Hansel have blanks and papers for
the membership, and will give any
information desired.

Great excitement prevails over

a mad dog passing through there
a few days ago and before it could
be killed had bitten a number of
other dogs and animals and one
man, Mr.. William Stump, who, it
is said, undertook to kill it to pre-
vent its attack upon others.
Acting upon the advice of his
physician and friends, he was TAX
en- to Chicago to be given the

other animals attacked by the dog
have either been killed or penned

On THE Fourth page of this
parer will be found the text of the
Chapman Bill and the Ricketts,
Resolution. The Chapman law
cuts out all spring elections and
has all officers elected last year to
hold over until fall. Election for
town and township officers will be
on the national and state and
county ticket next fall. The bal
lot will be as large as full sheet
newspaper. Perhaps never be-
fore in the history of Ohio was
such a dastardly measure passed
as that bill. 1t had for its pur-
pose nothing more than the exten-
tion of street railway franchises in
Cleveland and Toledo. These cor
porations were afraid of the peo-
pie at the spring election, so the
legislature cut out the election to
save the corporations harmless. To
Fred Bright's credit and everIast-
ing glory, he voted first, last and
all the time against the bill. He
would not be party to such dirt.

CHRISTMAS.

One week from tomorrow will be
Christmas, 1.-THE gladdest day Of all
the year" and that certainly brings
JOY and gladness to more hearts
throughout the world than any
other Of the 365. From the arctics
to the equator, and from east to
west, in every country and cline
where the influence of Christianity
has been carried, the day will be
recognized and celebrated in the
usual manner, and the blessed
gospel message will be recalled and
given it's appropriate application.
No other holiday is fraught with
such deep significance as Christmas
and none is SO generally and con-
scientiously observed. Pauper and
criminal, millionaire and aristo-
cacy, old and young-in fact prac-
tically every person in all classes
and walks of life look forward with
joy and anticipation to the advent
of the merry Yuletide season with
its feasting, merrymakiDg, family
reunions, public gatherings and
celebrations, and the customary
exchange of presents and saluta-
tons. The occasion is naturally
appreciated and enjoyed by all and
it's influence is for the the better
ment and elevation of. all mankind.
For many it is the one bright spot
in the whole gamut of the shifting
days, and Christian and pagan, in,
fidel and atheist, no matter what
the creed or individual belief, have
come to look upon Christmas as 9
most worthy and beneficial institu
ton.
IT Christianity has given nothing
else to the world than Christmas, its
be~neficence would still have OK

combined. For the Christmas spirit
is sthe embodiment of the whole

In the annual report of Postmas-
ter General Wynne, for the fiscal
year ended June 80, he urgently
recommends the establishment of
a new rate of postage in connection
with the rural service for the deliv-
cry of small parcels. It is shown
that there has grown up a demand
by patrons of the rural free deliv-
cry service for the handling of light
packages of merchandise, and the
present rate of / cent per ounce is
declared practically prohibitive.
For instance, a grocer who gets an
order over the telephone for a
pound of coffee would have to pay
Is cents to send it by rural delivery.
The postmaster general suggests to
congress that a rate of 8 cents per
pound or any fraction thereof be
authorized for packages Of this
class, no parcel to exceed five
pounds. This rate is intended to
apply, however, only to packages
deposited at the local postohice for
delivery to patrons on routes from
that office. A special stamp is rec
commended for this class Of matter.

Boscobel Gets Contest.

The annual meeting Of the direc-
tors and principals of the Wisconsin
Valley Declamatory League was
held at Lone Rock, Saturday, Oct.
10, for the purpose of perfecting ar
engagements for the annual league
contest. Representatives from all
the schools in the league, Boscobel,
Lone Rock, Muscoda, Prairie du
Chen, Richland Center and Spring
Green, were present.
The contest this year will be held
at Boscobel and the date was fixed
for March "a. Principal Palmer, Of
Boscobel, was appointed to make
arrangement for railroad rates, and
Principal Norris, of Muscoda, to
make plans for securing an opera
house. The plan for instruction
adopted last year will again be fol
lowed out for this year and the
secretary was instructed to nego-
tate for a suitable instructor. Last
season the entire expense of drilling
the contestants of the six schools,
with the exception of a few dollars,
was born by the league. Every
contestant will again be given six
lessons and the winners of the local
contest an additional lesson free of
charge. 1t is expected that these
lessons will begin the last Monday
IN January.
Medals, instead Of cash prizes,
will again be given to the four
winners of the league contest. The
price for admission, 35 and SO cents,
is the same as last year.
The officers of the league are as
follows: President-G. E. Pratt;
Treasurer-M. G. Palmer; Secretary
Anna PeltOn. The first two Of
icers go to the schools winning first
and second places respectively at
the last contest, and the office of
secretary goes to the school where
the contest is held.
