Porto Rico and the Philippines the right to take
advantage of the naturalization laws of this coun-

coming natUralized citizens OF the United States

the people OF other countries. Mr. Pettus suggested
that Porto Rico should be made a Territory and

colleagues Still. he added. the Porto Ricans have

cially need a change.

TEAM OF.HORSES STOLEN

John Heidin of the town of Sieel,
drove into town Saturday morning
with grist to the mill, unloaded his
grain about 10 a. m. and put his team
Of bay horses in sheds back of Gross
& Lyons store. He fed his team and
left them there during the noun hour.
After dinner he found them and his
wagon gone. He supposed some
neighbOr or friend had hitched them
up for some purpose. When they
failed to show up by four O'Clock he
acquainted the chief of police, James
Gibson Of the fact and he was not
long in obtaining trace of them. 1t
was learned that young man OF
about 16 years of age was seen driving
such team towards Rudolph and
asked Mayor Nash if he was on the
right road to Stevens Point. Officers
were dispatched upon his track and
sure enough the team was tied on the
side of the road about two miles this
side of Stevens Point. just think of the
nerve the young man had in mid day
hitching up team and driving them
out OF town in such manner. He
preferred riding than walking to
Stevens Point and took these chances
in doing so.

FIELD CLOSED

State Commissioner OF Banking,

Wednesday morning commenced to
inspect the business OF the Bank of
Plainfield. At four O'Clock in the
afternoon the public were very muc h
surprised to find the following
notice posted on the fro1t door:
''This bank is in the hands of the
Commissioner of Banking of the
State Of Wisconsin. BY order of the
Board of Directors. Dated October
IL, 1904" 1t is reported that the
cause OF the closing is injudicious in

some large machine firms which re-
Gently failed. The bank is capitalized
at $1,000, and has a deposit OF
100000. While we are not authorized
to make this statement, we believe
ldepositors will receive all their money
if they will be patient and give the
bank chance to recover. All people

sympathy for Mr.. Drake and his

OF Madison, has been appointed by
Mr. Bergh to take charge of the

CONGRESSMAN W. E. BROWN
The Farmers Will Show Their
Appreciation of a Congress.
man who Favors the Rural
Delivery. by a Strong Vote
This Fall.

That Congressman Brown has been
loyal to the interests of the farmer OF
his congressional district, is evident
when we compare the number of
Rural Free Delivery Routes in opera
tion today, with the almost entire
lack of such facilities when he came
into Office on March 4, 1901. The
old ninth district at that time had
but one r. f. d. route in all of its
fifteen counties, while at the end of
Mr.. Browns first term on March 4,
1908 there were 80 routes in success
ful operation. The reapportionment
OF the state by the legislature in 1901,
took away from the old ninth district
the counties of Clark, Oconto and
Marinette, which contained fifteen
OF thirty three r. f. D. routes then
in operation and added Wood county
which had one r. f. D. route, to
those remaining, thus making the
present tenth district containing
thirteen counties, with but twenty
R. F. D. routes in operation, on
March 4, 1903 On the first day of the
present month there were forty-eight
routes in the new tenth district in
successful operation with one route to
begin service October Is and another
on November /, while there are
fifteen routes pending in the depart
ment at the present time and the
majority of these will undoubtedly be
in successful operation in from sixty
to ninety days. The farmer appre-
ciates the rural free delivery which
brings him in touch daily with the
outside world and he also appreciates
the fact that his congressman through
his efforts has brought the daily mails
to his door and there is little doubt
but that he will, whether democrat
or republican, remember to place a
cross in the square opposite the name
Of w, E. Brown when he comes to
vote on the 8th of November.-The
Vindicator, Rhinelander.

GOV. LA FOLLETTE'S FRANK
AND OPEN STATEMENT
A GOOD MAN TO SEND
TO THE ASSEMBLY

The nomination Of e. e. Winch by
the Republicans of this county to head
their county ticket as member of as.
sembly. brings up an incident in his
business life that fully characterizes
the kind Of man he is when justice
and equity appeals to him. Long
before Mr.. Winch was thought of as
candidate, this paper contained the
simple statement below related. The
incident happened year ago. In the
manufacture of staves and heading,
thousands of cords OF bolts are used.
They are purchased mostly from the
farmers some by contract and some in
the markets. Along about this season
of the year is when the contracts are
entered into and the bolts delivered
during the winter. A year ago the
contract price of bolts was 81. .65 cord
but before the hauling season closed
they jumped to 1925 a cord. There
was no word Of complaint heard from
the farmers who had entered into con-
tracts. The yard was piled full Of
bolts when the hauling season closed.
In March or April the final settlement
for the winter supply is made. At
the time of delivery each farmer is
given the scale Uf his lead in cord
measure so that by multiplying the
number OF cords by the price paid,
each man is aware Of the amount he
has coming before receiving his final
check. On pay day last year there
were many expressions OF surprise
among those who had sold by con-
tract. In every instance the check
showed larger amount than was
actually coming or even claimed by
them and being honest and knowing
they were dealing with an honest
man the farmers returned their checks
claiming a mistake in their favor.
Nor would they leave the window
until Mr.. Winch made an explanation.
Finally the man who is now nomin-
ated on the republican ticket to
represent this county in the legisla-
ture and who stands absolutely for a
system of equal taxation and honest
government said, Gentlemen this
may be a mistake of mine in business
light but the bolts you delivered me
at S2.65 cord are worth just as much
as the ones I paid 1925 for and each
and all of you are being paid the same
price"
1t cost Mr.. Eiiise,l something over
5000 to do this but he has never
regretted the honest motive that
prompted him. And let it be known
now that not one among the men
affected by this transaction, but
what will take affidavit or his coat
Off to defend the character and integ-
rity of Eli Winch. This is only one
instance illustrating the character of
this man. He stands for principle
and The News takes pride in advocat-
ing his election as the coming
representative from this county,
Marshfleld News.

FARMS AND FARMING
in WOOD COUNTY

The assumption that farming as a
permanent vocation did not and
would not thrive In the northern
counties of Wisconsin has worked
great injury to the section of Wiscon-
sin in which Wood county is located
and it is an injury which better
acquaintance with the facts would
never have permitted. It is true Of
Wood county and this central section
of the state that there are some
lines of agriculture to which it gives
promise of little profit, but that is
also true of all sections OF our state
and country. 1t can probably be said
without fear of contradiction that the
farmers Of Wood county have made
larger profits on their farms during
the past ten years for the same valua-
tion and expenditure of labor than
have been made by the farmers Of the
southern section OF our state. Their
crops are surer, and the prices for
which their produces sold have been
better than the average prices of
crops in the other sections. 1t is not
possible here to enter into any
details concerning the farming
possibilities of Wood county and
Central Wisconsin, but on behalf of
our county and their section of the
state the most thorough investigation
is solicited, and if the farmers who
are now living in the high-priced,
low producing lands in the older
counties of our state and other states
will investigate for themselves as to
the past and present. and possible
future OF farming in this section of
Wisconsin we have little doubt as to
the decision they will make. An
important element In the growth of
Gri Rapids and Wood county dur
ing recent past years has been the
adyancementlmade among it's farmers,
and the handsome homes which they
are building and the adequate equip
ment OF their farms in barns and
stock and carriages present better
than could be given in words, the
story of their general advancement in
thrift and prosperity.
