MAY GET BEYOND CONTROL
Roumanian Revolt Becoming a Seri.
GUS Affair.


Vienna, March 21.-The Austrian
minister Of the interior, Prince Con-
rad e-Schillingsfuerst, has
ordered considerable increase in the
number of gendarmes on the Rou-
manian frontier in order to prevent
riotous Roumanian peasants from
crossing and starting disturbances in
Austrian territory.
The opinion is expressed at the for
eign office that unless the Roumanian
government promptly suppresses the
agrarian and revolutionary movement
in Roumania it is liable to soon get
beyond control It is believed here
that Russian agents are responsible
for the recent anti-Jewish riots, their
object being to inflame the anti
Semites in the southern provinces of
Russia.
A dispatch from Itzkani, on the
frontier, says that 1900 Jews. old men,
women and children, who were ex-
PEELED from Burduzheni, Roumania,
after their houses had been plundered,
are now camped near Itzkani in the
open air.

Oscar M. Strand, a former short
course student from Barron county
has sent to the University of Wis
consin agricultural college report
of years work on his fathers 200
acre farm, which he manages. Mr..
Strand studied bookkeeping in the
short course, and now keeps a sys-
tematic account of his dealings.
He finds that his gross receipts from
the sale of horses, hogs, cattle, hay,
potatoes, milk. sugar beets, oats,
and barley during the year amounted
to $40. His expenses have been
small, leaving at least $4,000 net
gain. Mr.. Strand says he is sure
that two-thirds of this good show
ing is due to the application of the
methods taught in the short course.
The value of the instruction, figured
mathematically, on this basis must
therefore be So 900 for the year con-
sidered.

Sign Your Name.

A letter frequently goes estray.
In most instances where the letter
fails to reach the person to whom it
is directed the writer is to blame.
He has misdirected it. Sometimes
the person to whom it is sent has
changed his residence without Civ
ing his postmaster notice of it.
Sometimes a letter is lost on its
way. The post Office department is
adequately organized and conducted
efficiently. There is seldom an &C.
casion to criticise the officials for
neglect or want of care. If a person
sending a letter finds it did not
reach it's destin alton and it is not
returned to him he may generally
conclude that he is alone respon-
sible for It's loss. If a letter is
addressed and sent, and the address
is wrong, or the person to whom it
is directed has moved away from
that address and cannot be found,
the letter will be returned to the
writer if the department can find
him. 1t frequently happens how
ever that there is nothing on the
envelope or in the body of the letter
to determine who the sender is or
where he lives except the stamp of
the office on the envelope. The
Postmaster General advises the
writer of a letter to sign his full
name and place of residence, This
will insure the return of the letter
to the sender if it fails to reach the
one for whom it was intended. A
better way still than this is for the
writer of letters to have his name
and place of residence printed in
the upper left-hand corner of his
envelopes. If this is done the letter,
if not delivered, will be returned by
the postmaster to the sender with
out being first sent to the dead
letter office at Washington.
