According to the old song, Twas a cold frosty morning when Uncle Neu he died," and we wonder if Oil Heat CTS had been known in those days whether Uncle Ned's life could not have been prolonged perhaps even to this day. Of course we might have missed the old song. but we think that Uncle Ned would have enjoyed livinS vastly more than we enjoy listening to his musical obituary. However, be that as it may. the fact is plain that to get out of q nice warm bed these cold mornings and dress i'll cold, frosty room is far from pleasant, and after the days work is over cold room is a cheerless thing to contemplate, no matter how attractively 1t may be fur. nished. The introduction of little warmth will change all this and add a feeling of comfort to any roo1n The expense, not over 1c an hour, is hardly to be considered, and as there is no dust. no smoke, no smell, an OIL HEATER seems to fill this need.

Logs for Grand Rapids.

Quite few of the laundering camps

Grand Rapids Lumber company which
has operated five logging camps near

three of these, having cotton in all
the logs. Its total output on the
Little Eau Pleine river for the winter
past was about 5000, 900 feet. OF this
amount about 4,0OO,0 900 were hauled
by team direct to it's loading works
at Eau Pleine, the remainder will be
driven up the river, and the whole
will be loaded on cars and shipped to
its saw mill at Grand Rapids. This
firm has about 100000 left, which

In the postoffice appropriation bill
passed by the House on Friday the sa-
laries Of rural free delivery carriers are
increased from 5000 to s720 year az.
ter July next. The increase. how
ever, is accompanied by certain restric-
tions prohibiting carriers from carry :
ing merchandise for hire or from So
iiciting business or receiving orders Of
any kind for any person, firm or cor
poration during their hours Of employ
ment.
The increase in salaries presents a
happy and no doubt satisfactory settle
ment OF the controversy as to how far
rural carriers should be permitted to
60 in soliciting outside business in the
effort to make up for inadequate pay
from the government. While the pro-
hibition is somewhat stringent it is
provided that carriers may carry mer-
chandise for hire and upon the request
OF patrons residing upon their respect
i've routes whenever the same shall
not interfere with the proper discha rye
Of their Official duties and under such
regulations as the Postmaster General
may prescribe" With this modifca-
tion of the stringent regulations that
were at first proposed and the liberal
increase in salary the rural carriers
will no doubt be satisfied and the ef-
tciency of the rural service greatly in
creased. Without these reasonable re-
strictionS 1t is easy to foreSee a condi-
tion where the government service
might become esubordinated to an out
side private service and the interests
OF those whom the rural delivery was
designed to benefit might suffer there

WANTS WOOD
COUNTY WIFE
Anton j. Olson. of FlaxtOn, N.
Dak., the "Willin'
Barkis."
REPORT THAT GIRLS
WORK FOR 81 A MONTH
Mr.. Olson Offers a Good Home
to the Suitable
Woman.

The report seems to have gone forth
to many parts of the United States
and Canada that there are plenty of
girls in Wood county who are working
for 81 per month and are bemoaning
their fate because they can find no
husbands.
Following is a letter from Anton J..
Olson, of Flaxton, North Dakota,
who is willing to make one of this
county's fair damsels happy:
EDITOR The REPORTER:-I read
the following article in ST. Paul
paper some weeks ago which tells of
how girls are very plentiful in your
community and who desire TO get
married and get good home of their
own:
According to a letter from Alex
ander Locking, notary public and
commissioner, of Emo. Ontario,
Canada, it is believed that Wood
county and neighboring counties are
crowded with girls seeking work at
81 per month and deSirouS to marry to
better their conditions. The letter
was written to prominent resident
OF Wood county, and reads as follows:
Dear Sir: Conversing With a
woman today, recently from your part
OF the world, and about the domestic
help OF which there is shortage here,
she gave me your address that l
might write you. She said that there
were many young girls ana women
who would like to come to Emo and
hire as servants. She said that girls
were working for 81 per month, even
at hotels, which seemed strange to u.s.
Ii you know of any who would like
to come here, as servants and would
write TO me, could get them work in
good, respectable homes at better
wages than that, and l may say also
that good, sensible single women are
not long here before they are married
into good homes of their own. My
wife and l would take a ~ood girl
between Is and % as our own and
guarantee that she will be married in
short time. Wages for girls are SO
high here that it would pay anv girl
to come. Yours truly,
A. LOCKING.
"Girls of the marriageable type are
very scarce here and / would wish for
correspondence from your locality
with view to matrimony. / have a
farm Of l60 acres with good buildings
and would promise a cheerful and
happy home to good, respectable
girl. II there should be any in your
town that would wish to correspond
with me would you kindly let me
know? Inclosed please find stamp for
reply. Respectfully yours,

SAFE BLOWERS
AT NEKOOSA
Burglars Took $33.26 from Bra
zeau Brothers. Safe Tues.
day Night.
SUSPECTS CAPTURED
AT NEW LISBON
Brought Here Yesterday Morn.
ing by Deputy Sheriff
Little.

The safe of the Brazeau Brothers
Mercantile cOmpany's store at
NekoOsa was burglarized late Tuesday
night. S3328 and some notes ana
wood checks were taken, but none OF
the goods in the store we're disturbed.
The drawer Of the safe was found in
the wood yard Of the Nekoosa Paper
company the next morning.
Sledge hammers and other tools,
taken from S. L. Stevens blacksmith
shop, were lying near the safe when
the clerks came to open the store.
The work seems to have been done
by experts. The side back window
was pried open to gain admittance
and hole was drilled in the safe.
The effect OF the explosion was to
throw open the outer and inside doors
of the safe. Both locks were destroyed
and one Of the outer doors was ruined.
Two tramps, who were put of the
train Tuesday noon at Nekoosa, were
suspected OF having committed the
crime and Sheriff Ebbe Immediately
telegraphed to New Lisbon asking
the authorities there to be on the
outlook. In response to the notifica-
tion that the trampS bad been
captured Deputy Sheriff Little went
to New Lisbon and returned with
them yesterday morning. They gave
their names as Judd Orm and william
Tefault. They will probably be given
hearing today.

THE NOTING OF POULTRY
Process Was fastened Successfully
By the Experts at Rhode Island

An interesting discussion is now 60
ING on among poultry raisers as 70
the possibility Of Fastening the molt-
ing Of fowls. Ii has not been believed
that any method except a steady feed
Of we'll balanced rations would do
this. There is an impression, how
ever. that even this does not always
hasten the desired period as the egg
LAYING period of the summer is some
times extended by the high FEEDING.
thus pushing the period Of mott
ing. Some one conceived the idea
Of starving the fowls long enough TO
stop the production Of eggs and after
ward so feeding that the formation
OF new feathers would BE- begun. 1t
was reported that great results were
obtained With this method. Il does
not appeal TO reason very much, but
the little experimenting that has been
done to discover what there is in IL
has given results favorable 70 the
method. At the Rhode Island expert
mont station last year fowls that
were LAYING were deprived OF feed
on the 9Th OF August and were made
10 fast for IL days. The hens finally
stopped laying eggs on the seventh day
OF the fast After the thirteenth day
OF the deprivation Of food the fowls
Were again given food little al a time
but Of highly heterogeneous nature. In
4 short time the result was seen in
the formation OF new feathers. and with
in 30 days from that time the Noting
was concluded and the mems began TO
lay This experiment was made with
Rhode Island Reds. Whether the re-
suits can be obtained always is yet
