mas and New Years is ALWAYS the slow
est one in the year for ye keepers of

The amount of money this county
will receive from the school tax, over
100000, is larger than that apportioned
to any other county in the state except
Milwaukee, which has population far
in excess to ours. The system by
which the money is apportioned has
been autagonized by southern counties
ever since it was put in force, but
Marathon county people are not kick
ing.
Here is something which applies to
Marathon county patrons of rural free
delivery routes The cold weather is
coming on and the rural mail carriers

picking out pennies from the boxes to
be spent for stamps, the carrier to lick
the same. Uncle Sam has therefore,
issued an order that each fellow must
lick mis- own stamps. One more of
mans inhumanities to man corrected"
