The American Society of Equity
an organization composed of the
farmers of Wisconsin, convened in
BarabOo last week for a two days
session. The object of the meet
ing is to control the supply Of all
products until the markets are
ready for it and in this way bring
to the producers all the benefits
that are given to others from stor-
ing vegetables, products, eggs and
the like in the time of plenty at low
prices and waiting for the time of
scarcity and high prices to sell. It
is distinctly stated that the new
organization is not to be trust,
but it is proposed to eliminate the
individual and the marketer of pro-
ducts and market them through the
association.
According to a recent ruling
of the postal department on and
after July LIST, 1906, patrons of the
rural delivery service will be re-
quired to display signals on their
boxes when they leave mail IN them
for carriers to collect, as after that
date, carriers, when serving their
routes, will not be required to open
and examine any mail boxes except
those to which they have mail to
deliver and those on which signals
are displayed to indicate there is
mail for the carriers to collect.
Those patrons whose boxes are not
provided with signals must attach
thereto some device, which when
displayed will plainly show passing
carriers there is mail to be collected.
1t is not necessary that such device
shall be either complicated or cost
", a very simple arrangement will
answer the purpose. Carriers must
lower the signals on boxes after
making collections, providing no
mail is left therein, and must dis
play the signals when they deposit
nail for patrons, unless the patron
Las made request to the contrary.
~ this new arrangement it is ex-
ected that the delivery and col
ction of mail along rural delivery
)utes willsbe greatly facilitated.
