The annual summer meeting of the
State Horticultural Society will be

viz, '"The Farm Home,' and under
this head the farm orchard, fruit gar
den, vegetable garden, and the farm
beautiful will all be discussed by
practical fruit men who are also farm
ers. DR.. I. E. Loope of Eureka, D.
b. Bingham of Sturgeon Bay, Senator
Pearson Of Baraboo and others, will
each give instruction regarding the
most practical way for the farmer to
raise fruit for home use.

represents the net profit to the gov
eminent from the Kenosha office. The
cost of the maintenance of the Office
paid entirely out of stamp sales was
last year $2S,470.78. This includes
the salary of the postmaster, all clerks
and railway clerks routed out of this
office and all carriers in the city as
well as the usual small expenses atten-
dant upon the running of the Office
The receipts tor the year just closed
viii probably place Kenosha in about
the sixth place among the post offices
of the state of Wisconsin. In addi-
ton to the receipts shown in the re
port as "postal receipts" the Office
during the year has issued a total
of 1o,635 domestic money orders and
1904 foreign orders and paid $3.50
domestic orders and 136 foreign orders.
The balance of trade is largely in favor
of the government in these transac-
lions and they will add much to the
profits from the local office.

| Following the injunction issued by
gas company and the street railway
company have decided to submit their
differences of opinion in regard to the
construction work being done by the
latter to the judgment of an outside
expert who has no connection with
either company This expert will look
over the work already done by the
railway company and decide where it
interferes with the property of the gas
company and where it is dangerous to
life and property and order such
changes as are necessary. His deci-
sion is to be final and both companies
have agreed to abide by it. In as
much as all this trouble over construc-
ton work is beside the main issue
and will have no effect on the final
outcome of the war between the two
companies it strikes an outsider that
some such agreement should have been
made long ago. The necessity for any
action in the courts outside of the
main case could very well have been
omitted. Neither side has anything
to gain by this petty fighting for when
the main issue finally gets before the
courts or the Railroad Commission it
will be decided on It's merits and while
there is no question but that public
sentiment favors the railroad company
the people would not care to see that
company get itself into a position
where it's construction work could be
delayed by court order or for any
other reason so that it will not be
ready to fulfill it's contract for street
lighting with the city ON time.

COST OF MAINTENANCE LOW
Total Receipts of the Office for the
Fiscal Year Just Closed Reaches
Nearly $4,000 and Ex-
perses Were S28, 470.7a


The Kenosha post office is a decided
~ paying investment for the United
States government. This fact is
shown by the report of Assistant Post
master NJ. f. Zens Of the postal re-
ceipts for the fiscal year closing July
1st, which was made public on Thurs
day and which shows that the Keno
sha Office pays over to the government
for the support of the general postal
service of the country more than fifty
per cent of the receipts of the office
from the sale of stamps to say nothing
Of the large returns which the govern
ment receives from the money order
department Of the Kenosha office. The
latter department is not taken into
consideration in the statement of
monies received as shown in the re-
port Of the assistant postmaster. The
report covers a full year and shows
that the total amount received from
the sale or stamps was sol ,69l.S9. The
report shows that there has been big
increase in these receipts during the
year just closed, but at that the re-
ceipts are disappointment on account
Of the fact that they did not touch
the 100000 mark.
The Kenosha office became a first
class Office a little over a year ago
and since that time the receipts have
been climbing Notwithstanding the in
creased expenses Of the office. Of the
amount received for the sale of stamps
in the local once there was turned
over to the Milwaukee depository dur
ing the year a total of $29,221.11. This
amount less the amount needed to pay
the salaries Of the rural carriers work
ing out of the Kenosha post office
