MOST PURCHASES ARE SMALL

Probably there is no one thing that
the public buys more in driblets than
it does postage stamps. The average
person buys just the amount he needs
for immediate use and no mere. That
lis, if they have one letter to mail they
get one stamp; two letters two
stamps, etc. Yet if they have letter
to write they do not get one sheet of
paper and one envelope, but quantity
of each. They do not buy an ounce or
two, or even pound or two of sugar
or -four, just to supply for the immedi-
ate time, but quantity to last for
days. So as to other articles; every
thing but postage stamps. And this
one thing is bought one would think,
with the supposition on the part of
the buyer that he thought if he bought
a quantity they would 60 down in price
on his hands, or go out Of style or use.
And yet there is no commodity that is
so near money as postage stamps.
While no harm comes, and it is no
great trouble at the postofice to sell
stamps in small quantities, this driblet
buying on rural routes is at times quite
an inconvenience to the carrier and
often great discomfort to the seller;
especially when the weather is rainy
or the carrier bundled up in the cold
and has to take off gloves and unbutton
his overeoat probably to get at the
stamps. Worse even than this is when
he has to "grabble" the two cent
pieces out Of the mail box with which
to pay for stamp to put on the let
ter he finds there. It would be greatly
to the buyers convenience if he or
she purchased stamps in quantities,
buying on a pleasant day, if from the
carrier, then they would have them
on hand when they wanted them to
put on a letter, and surely it would
greatly accommodate the rural car
rier. The government now puts up
stamps in books with oiled paper be-
tween to prevent the stamps sticking.
These are put up twelve in book for
25 cents, tWenty-four for 40 cents, and
forty eight for 81 cents. The buyer
pays. one cent in each case for the pro
lection and convenience. If rural
route patrons would buy these stamps
in quantity in some other form, the
carrier would rise up and call them
blessed.-Macomb Journal.

If experience counts for anything
every voter in the county, regardless
Of party politics, should vote to retain
P. G. Torrey in the office Of Register Of
Deeds. This is one of the hardest of
fees in the county to fill. The records
of the county are most important and
on their proper preservation depends
the record Of every transfer Of real es-
tate made in the county. Mr.. Torrey
when he entered the office found many
Of the old records in chaotic condition,
but this has all been Strengthened out,
and the new as well as the old records
are now in perfect order. Mr.. Torrey
has made remarkably good as a public
servant. He is a nan Of genial per
sonality and of unquestioneI integrity
and just the sort of man to place in
charge of this important business of the
county. His best recommendation is
the fact that all men regardless of
party who have had occasion to deal
with him in his official position are
enthusiastically supporting. his candi-
daey.

No Republican ticket in Kenosha
county would be complete without a
representative of the great agricultural
interests Of the county and such rep

Frank Waldo, the Republican candidate
for the office of Clerk of the Circuit
Court. He has made an excellent
clerk and has the highest recommend

Court. He has been popular among the
attorneys of the city and the records
Of the court have been well kept under
his direction. Always cordial and al

Next Tuesday the voters of Keno
sha county will vote for county officials
for the ensuing two years and it is
probable that the election of the county
officials will be quite as interesting a
contest as the fight for the election of
the electors for the presidency.
For the past decade Kenosha county
has been in the control Of the Repub-
lican party and in that time the affairs
of the county have been administered
in a careful, painstaking, conservative
business like manner. The affairs of
the county have been handled in such
a manner that Kenosha has kept in
touch with the progress of the state
and nation and at the same time the
people of the county have not been bur-
dened with high taxes. This fact has
been largely due to the efficiency of
the county officials who during the time
have been named by the Republican
party. The men who were named at
the recent Republican primaries are all
men widely known throughout the
county. Men of property interests, in
tegrity and men whose personal hon
esty has never been questioned.

single weak spot, and all of the men
nave shown themselves to be worthy
of the confidence and support of the
people.
Il you are Republican it is your
duty to the party not only to support
these men, but to seek support from
your friends and neighbors, and if
you are voter in some other party
it is for Your own best interests to
look up their qualifications before cast

Russell III. Jones is the candidate
Of the Republican party for the office
of County Clerk. Mr.. Jones was born
and raised in the town of Paris, but
he has resided in the city for number
of years. He never held a public off
ice until he was elected as County
Clerk by the County Board two years
ago. Mr.. Jones showed his ability
when he stepped into the office with
out any preparation and took up the
work in such manner that in a few
days he had it in perfect order Clerk
Jones has made a, careful official and
has introduced many new features in
the clerk S Office which have been of
great benefit to the people of the whole
county. 1t would be very diticult to
find a better county clerk in the ranks
Of either party in Kenosha county
John G. Williams the Republican
candidate for the Office Of Surveyor,
is a Kenosha boy, born and raised here
and a grand son of the late Henry
Williams, who was Mayor of the city
for a number Of years.

Large Increase in the Number of Voters
is Shown in Several of the Wards
The City Clerk is busy this morning
planning for the publication of the
final registration lists, and not with
standing the fact that it was thought
that the final days registration would
be very small, the reports to the clerk
this morning indicate that at least four
hundred names were added to the city
vote on Tuesday. The increase in the
north wards was unusually heavy this
SEEMINGLY to indicate that there is an in
crease in interest among he people on
that side of the city. The heaviest reg
istration was reported in the Second and
Third wards Of the city and as these
are considered strong Republican wards
it is thought that the increased regis,
tration shows that the Republicans are
getting interested in the outcome OF
the election.
