BIC BADGER FAIR
DAY AND NIGHT
PIatteViIIe, Wis.,, August Thirty
First and September First,
Second and Third.

Owing to the trouble incident to
clearing the grounds for the Night Fair
it has been decided by the Board OF
Directors of the Big Badger Fair to
eliminate this disagreeable feature by
selling admission tickets on days of
the night fair in the following way:
A Coupon Ticket will be sold which
will admit bearer to both day and
night fair, the night coupon of which
can be redeemed in money (its face
value) up to 6 o'clock p. m.
To explain: Admission for adults
on days of the Night Fair will be Coo,
which gives the holder the following
three privileges, viz;
1. Remaining on grounds for Night
Fair.
2. Leaving grounds and returning
for Night Fair, (by presenting coupon
at gate) after $50 p. M, not before.
3. Redeeming coupon IN money at
gate before 600 p. m. and not after.
The admission to the fair grounds
remains exactly the same as last year,
but the entrance to the Night Fair is
paid at time of purchasing Day Ticket.
Remember your coupons are re-
deemable, at booths erected for this
purpose at the gate, up to 6 O'Clock p.
m. of the day of purchase, at their face
value, 25 cents.
The same rule holds true of Chill
dren's tickets on these days-Chil.
dren's Tickets, Is cents with 10 cent
coupon.
Tickets and Coupons are good al
gate on day of sale only.

Try the Laughter Cure.

II laughter is good for the bodily
well being it is equally good for men

ize this. Anxiety, fear, worry are
deadly enemies to the mind. Fight
against them and against every in

preston as you would fight against a

request that the executive be author

Conclusion.
1 have thus, in message compressed
as much as the subjects will permit.
referred to many of the legislative
needs of the country, with the excep-
tions already noted. Speaking gener-
ally, the country is In high state of
prosperity. There is every reason to
substantial business expansion, and we
have Just garnered a harvest unex-
ampled in the market value of our
agricultural products. The high prices
which such products bring mean great
prosperity for the farming community,
but on the other hand they mean a
very considerably increased burden
upon those classes in the community
whose yearly compensation does not
expand with the Improvement in bust
ness and the general prosperity Vari-
Gus reasons are given for the high
prices. The proportionate increase in
the output of gold, which today Is the
chief medium of exchange and Is IN
some respects a measure of value, fur
nishe s substantial explanation of at
least part of the increase in prices. The
increase in population and the more
expensive mode of living of the people,
which have not been accomplished by
proportionate increase in acreage pro-
duction may furnish a further reason.
1t Is we'll to note that the increase In
the cost of living is not confined to this
country. but prevails the world over,
and that those who would charge in
creases in price sto the existing pro-
tective tariff must meet the fact that
the rise In prices has taken place al
most wholly in those products of the
factory and farm In respect to which
there has been either no increase in the

posted in postal savings banks shall be
invested Is not free from difficulty, but
| believe that satisfactory provision for
this purpose was inserted as an amend
ment of the bill considered by the Senate
at its last session. 1t has been proposed
to delay the consideration of legislation
establishing a postal savings bank until
after the report of the monetary COM
mission. This report is likely to be de-
layed, and properly SO, because of the
necessity for careful elaboration and
close investigation. | do not see why
the one should be tied up with the other
1t is understood that the monetary COM
mission have looked into the systems Of
banking which now prevail abroad, and
have found that by a control there exer-
cised in respect to reserves and the rates
of exchange by some central authority
panics are avoided. 1t is not apparent
that a system of postal savings banks
would In any way interfere with change
to such system here. Certainly in
most of the countries in Europe where
control is thus exercised by central au-
thority, postal savings banks exist and
are not thought to be inconsistent with a
proper financial and banking system.
Ship Subsidy.
Following the course of my dis
tinguished predecessor l earnestly rec
ommend to Congress the consideration
and passage of a ship subsidy bill, look
ing to the establishment of lines between
our Atlantic seaboard and the eastern
coast of South America, well as lines
from the west coast of the United States
to South America. China. Japan and the
Philippines The profits on foreign mails
are perhaps a sufficient measure of the
expenditures which might first be tenta-
lively applied to this method OF induc-
ing American capital to undertake the es-
tablishment of American lines of steam

passed the House and more than once
passed the Senate, and | hope that at
this session a bill framed on the same
lines and with the same purposes may
become a law.

The lead pencil is one Of the most com

practically the only wood used IN lis
manufacture IS red cedar and since the
pencil industry Is steadily growing
(S2o. 10000 are manufactured annually in
the United States. the supply OF red
cedar is becoming greatly depleted.
Red cedar has a soft. straight grain.
and is very free from defects when prop
eriy grown. Because Of its peculiar quail
ties no good substitute for II has ever
been found and Il is doubtful II any other

a single species as the pencil Industry is
