The Rural Mail Service.

Reforms move slowly out on the
farms, but the rural mail service
has proved an exception to this
rule, In just a few years, about
five, 1000, 900 country people have
come to be served with daily mail,
and no greater boon was ever de-
vised for the farmers of the coun-
try. The first postmaster general
who was Entrusted with a small ap-
preparation to experiment with in
this line was so opposed to the
scheme on general principles that
one of the first routes he laid out
was in the mountain district of a
southern state where the people
make mOonshine whisky and can't
read or write, where of course the
rural mail was dead failure. Later
it was tried in more civilized COM
munities with entire success and
has steadily grown INTO it's present
enormous proportions.

Yesterday the Stars and Stripes
were honored in nearly every city,
village and hamlet in Wisconsin.
A little history of flags of other
countries may be of interest:
Slowed away on every ship of the
United States navy, from tugboat
to 10000 ton battleship, is bundle
of flags, shoulder high and about
fifteen feet long. About half the
lot Is composed of foreign flags.
which are encased in thick paper
bags, with the name of the country
stenciled ON the end of the bag.
The remainder, including those for
ordinary use, are not wrapped, but
tied in round bundles and lettered.
The pile contains $50 flags, the reg
ulation number each ship mus
carry.
The making of this number of
flags costs the United States $50, 900
year, of which $4,000 is paid for
material alone. Each ship has forty
three foreign flags on board con-
stantly. These flags are twenty
five feet long and thirteen feet wide.
With these on board the ship is
prepared to meet and show the
proper courtesies which naval Ell
quette demands to all nations whose
nigh officials should come aboard or
whose waters the vessel should
enter while on a cruise.
AS ships quota of dags is re-
newed every three years, it is no
small job to keep enough flags on
hand, and to this end Uncle Sam
keeps a large flag making establish
ment running at full blast the year
round at the Brooklyn navy yard.
Here there are nearly 100 skilled
needlewomen working every day Of
the year, except Sunday and hOli-
days, cutting the various cOlOred
bunting into strips and sewing and
stitching them together in their
proper place.
The most difficult part of the
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1907-06-15
Flags Of Other Nations.

work is the making of foreign flags,
for some of them, be it known, are
fearfullv and wonderfully made.
Take, for example, the flag of San
Salvador. In the back is a belching
volcano, pouring forth it's lava and
white smoke. On the sides of the
mountain is the green foliage and
shrubbery. Directly in front is a
tranquil sea of sapphire blue. Above
the volcano is rising sun, set in a
design of Overlooking cOrnucOplas,
and a diamond, from which the rays
are scintillating in every direction.
To the right and left of the volcano
are draped, in varied design,
banners, which laboriously try to
pattern the stars and stripes, and
let not show the plagiarism. Around
the whole confederation is a wreath
of cactus branches lovingly en-
bracing the volcano, while at the
top the date Of the country's indie
pendence is inscribed.
Then there is the flag of China,
with It's long, sprawling blood-red
dragon. To make that flag costs
the government something like $40.
The flag of Costa RIGA, with its
scenic beauty of mountain and sea,
costs $50, nearly as much AS the
costliest of them all, that of San
Salvador.
The largest flag made by Uncle
Sans tiag-makers is the United
States ensign No. 1, which is thirty
fix feet long and nineteen feet wide.
It costs $40 to turn out a flag Of this
style.
The Presidents flag, while not
the largest, requires the longest
time of any to make, as it takes one
woman a whole month to finish 1T.
1t is a simple design, being blue
field. with the coat of arms of the
United States in the center. The
life sized eagle, with outstretched
wings.

Death of Geo. Breihan.

George Breihan passed away at
his home in Ellenboro Sunday even
ing after brief but severe illness.
Eemorrhage of the brain was the
direct cause of his unt1mely demise.
Funeral obsequies were conducted
here at the German Evangelical
church Wednesday, Rev. Napholz
officiating and interment took place
at the Boice prairie cemetery.
Despite the inclemencY ofthe wealth
er and roads, many gathered to pay
their final tribute of high esteem to
the good man who was laid to rest.
Deceased was a native of this
country and was about 43 years of
age, having resided here all his life.
A wife and five children-3 sons
and 2 daughters besides numerous
other relatives survives.

What If Crops Should Fail?

Suppose that the predictions of
the day should come true. Suppose
we should have a crop failure in
the United States this year.
And suppose that, as a result,
public confidence in the future
should be shaken and the industrial
and mercantile interests of the
country be depressed; that railway
earnings should Immediately shrink;
that factories should close; that
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1907-06-15

money should become scarce; that
tens of thousands of workmen
skilled and unskilled, should be
thrown out of employment; in a
word, that the people would have
a return of hard times.
To which, then of two classes OF
citizens would the people turn for
help in such an emergency to
the prosperity pounding, muckrak-
ing element, or to the very men
whom this element has been hound
ing for the last five years.
Nothing would so speedily solve
what the muck rakers call the para
mount problems as a period of harl
times. 1t is only when the coun-
try is prosperous when the land
is filled with work and money
that the people have the problems
to solve, or that they think they
have them to solve.
We become irritable IN good times
because others are making more
money than we, because others are
making more smoke that we; we
chafe under the thought that, while
we are gathering in only hundreds
or thousands, others, who, of course,
are not so deserving as we, are
gathering In tens of hundreds of
thousands. We become eno;ous
and jealous, we read the high class,
low priced magazines, and we are
finally led into frame of mind.
where we hate our more prosperous
fellow citizens and become weary
OF the very prosperity in which we
are ourselves enjoying a share.
But if the hard times, toward
which the prosperity Founders and
the muck rakers have been leading
us, were actually upon us if the
smoke nuisance and the stock COM
pany nuisance and all the ammo ing
and irritable things resulting from
good times we're to vanish If we
had leisure to roam about the streets
with our empty hands in our empty
pockets-if we were behindhand
with our mortgage interest or our
rent, if we could no longer borrow
and there was nothing in sight that
we could steal, if we felt so inclined
would we then find satisfaction
in the speeches of the prosperity
Founders, in the arguments of the
muck rakers?
Then, to which of the two classes
to the class that builds or to the
class that destroys would we look
for help-would we look for the re-
action which we should hope to see
come IN time to save us from the
souphOuse Or the poorhouse9
The hard times are not here-yet.
There is no cause for immediate
alarm, but it will do no harm to
consider of what value the prosper
ity Founders and muck rakers
would be to us if the crops should
all.

Side Lights.

1t takes all kinds or people 10
make town and there would be
something lacking if every class
was not represented. The town
would always be tipped upon edge
for want of balance wheel. Now
there are times when it is thought
that one element or another is not
needed, but such times always blow
over and every body fits into his or
her sphere in just the right place
and nobody gets the worst of the
deal.
Sometimes we may think our
town is overstOcked with piety.
But this is not so, for if we had,
our churches would be paid for
long ago and some more vigorous
efforts would be begun in home
missionary work.
ss2
There is the professional kicker in
every town, and we have no more
than our share of this class. You
will hear them at times decrying
the modes of living of some of the
people living in the first ward and
as soon as company comes to see
them from other places they go to
the livery harm and hire a team and
drive around every block In that
same ward showing other people
what model Of perfection the PEG
pie of that same ward are when it
comes to beautify1ng their homes
and surroundings and by the way,
Just while we are mentioning it,
this pretty home section of Lancas-
ter is the greatest advertisement it
has up-to-date.
SS2
There is still another class of citi-
zens who think that if only factory
could be located in their midst their
cornucOpia would be filled to over
flowing and they live on and on
with this hope held out as the
guiding star to their success and
while they are idly hoping and
wishing for factory to drop down
upon them their competitors are
hustling around in naturally
agricultural country and getting the
BUSINESS.
2aS
Now if we had big factory that
employed a thousand or less hands
and these hands took it into their
heads that they were not receiving
enough pay, a strike would be on
and in very short time the same
men that were doing all the shout
ing for factory now would be abus-
ing because it was shut down, and
the hands could not pay bills And
if there ever was crippled town on
the face of the earth 1t is factory
town, with about one-half the hands
idle.
