Must Be No Writing Sent in
Merchandise Packages.

Postmaster General Won Myer has
gone to the trouble of having notices
printed for posting in all postofices,
calling the attention of the public to
the fact that written messages can
not be put inside of merchandise or
papers that are mailed at the one
cent rate. In doing this small thing
he is really showing an interest in
the smaller and more ignorant pa
irons of the mails. There is a man
datory fine of not less than $40 for
this offense, though many people,
and some not very ignorant people
either, never heard of the law. But
ignorance is not accepted as an ex-
cuse, and the postoffice last year
collected $59,065 in fines on this
line alone, mostly from poor people
who could i'll afford to lose the
money. With notices posted call
ing attention to the law, it will
be a citizens own fault if he does
not observe it. The step is a small
one, as has been said, but it proba-
bly, will save a good many thousand
dollars in the aggregate to a class
of citizens who have not many dol
lars to squander in fines.

Those Green Bugs.

DR.. w. w. Taggart, who is now
located at Edmond, Oklahoma,
writes his niece, Miss Rachael Tag
CART, in reference to the green bug
in answer to question recently
raised in the JOURNAL relative to
the ravages of this pest in the
southwest:
The green bugs of 1907, are not
bugs at all but small green aphides
which attach themselves to the
green stalks of growing oats, wheat
and rye, and totally destroy the
crops. For fifty miles along each
side of the Santa Fe railway from
Arkansas City to Fort Worth, Texas,
there is not a decent ten acres of
wheat or oats in shock, and not one
acre in fve-hundred that shows any
sign of grain and twenty-five per
cent of this land was as pretty oats
and wheat in March as any one ever
saw. Many fields were plowed up
and planted to corn and cotton, but
there was not one-third enough
labor to take care of all this land.
The green bugs cleaned up every
thing. The reason there has been
nothing said of these pests lately is
because there is nothing to say.
They finished their work. When they
left locality they took advantage
of the south winds and let the winds
transport them TO the green fields
further north. Now this is the
story of the green bug of my own
knowledge.

Banquet to Regents.

Our attention has been called to
the reports of the banquet given at
La Crosse to the Board having in
control all the State Normal schools,
the occasion being the final act of
the Board which commits the state
to the erection of the eighth Nor
NAL school.
The presence of several of the
members of the Legislature enhanc-
ed the interest of the banquet, and
the utterances of several of them
and of the regents showed an abid-
ing interest in the states system of
public education. From among
the speakers, we care now to refer
to the remarks of Judge ]. ]. Fruit,
an alumnus from the first class
graduated from the parent school
at Platteville and a former inhuen-
tial member of the State Board,
now it's guest; also TO the comment
of Regent Duncan McGregor, pres
ent assemblyman from Grant
county and former president of the
Platteville school.
The people of La Crosse may i'm
plicitly rely on the assurance of
Regent McGregor concerning the
blessings enjoyed by community
in possessing a Normal school,"
We, in the vicinity of the RIVER Falls
Normal school, now during more
than thirty years, are assured of the
essential correctness of the regents
claim that the school will bring
within your midst the best class of
young people in Wisconsin. They
come imbued with the spirit to learn
to control human beings, to benefit
young people who come under their
charge, the most noble calling man
can follow. Normal students need
less looking after than any other
class of students. It is worth inf
nitely more than school which will
simply educate young people"
The people of La Crosse may also
treasure all of Judge Fruits COM
ment in view of his unique expert
ence in many-sided activities in
Normal school interests. Notably
should his fellow townsmen remem-
Der his utterance confirming Re-
gent McGregor's claims for Normal
school influence thai relates to
making character for students, by
effort of the community, joined with
that of the school faculty. The
Judges belief in a relatively small
number of students in order that
intimacy Of personal relations of
student and instructors shall admit
of character-building by means of
daily contact of willing learners
and competent models that exem-
plify right ideals, was itself wise
piece of philosophy-it was more;
it was wisdom in view of the fact
that the Judges usefulness in many
lines of activity may be attributed
in measure to the bias of Regent
McGregor's pedagogic effort while
a professor in the Judges alma
mater-aye, it was piece of poetic
justice and of philosophic utterance
of parent in behalf of son-afford-
ing the La Crosse Normal school a
living example of it's opportunity to
go right" in the cooperative eff
fort of community, faculty and stu
dents.
The erection of the building that
shall, in 1909, accommodate this
school, the organization of strong
faculty that shall administer its af-
fairs with sole view of highest pos
sible results in character of men
and women and the appropriate
welding of school and local inter-
ests, should be the earnest care of
the controlling board and the La
Crosse people.
