All worlds records for mail handled have been smashed by Chicago's post office where. because of an item of 5000 pieces of mail sent out by a cat alogue house. one days total nearly reached the mark of 10.000,000 pieces of mail. The batch of 6.000,000 cata- logues filled 60 mail cars, weighed 125 tons and the postage amounted to $60,- GOO, quite a tidy sum for one days mailing.

Sears & Roebuck Wanted An Ad.

The PLAIN DEALER is filled with adj
vertising but mainly the announce
ments of our clothing and dry goods
houses, although the druggists and
banks are well represented.
Recently we received a letter from
Roberts 4 McAvinche, advertising
agents of Chicago, proposing to us the
insertion of page ads for Sears, Roe
buck & Co., whose principal business is
the selling of groceries and hardware.
DO our advertisers think thew
are doing their share to promote the
business interests of their town when
they neglect to announce their offer
ings to the public through the local
press? Is it fair to the dry goods and
clothing men to allow them to bear the
expense of attracting people to Cresco
by spreading broadcast their announce
ments of bargain giving.
Did the PLAIN DEALER accept the
Sears Roebuck advertising? No. But
we have the space to sell to our local
men and believe it will be to their in
terest to use it.
Recently every family in this vicin-
lty has received Montgomery Ward
grocery catalogue, filled with bargains
that we believe any Cresco grocer will
duplicate if given the chance, but I'M
less the buying public are so informed,
Montgomery Ward will get many dol
lars that should remain in Cresco.
Watch the freight unloaded at our
depot and you will see that mail order
shipments of dry goods and clothing
are scarce. Proper attention to pub
licity will lessen the shipments in other
lines,

.TAwNEY LIBEL CASE UP.
Urged That 1t Was Improper to Print
Presidential Message.

st. Paul, Oct. 15.-Arguments have
been heard in the supreme court in
the libel suit brought by Congressman
Tawney against the publishers of the
Albert Lea Tribune, which was decided
against Mr.. Tawney in the lower court.
A novel part Of the plea made by Mr..
Tawney's attorneys was the repeated
reference to decision by court in
Massachusetts, which held that if the
president in message to congress or
elsewhere made statement that was
not true, he could not be sued for libel,
but newspaper publishing that state
ment could be sued. The plaintiff as
serted that the president was misin-
formed in the message to congress,
which was the basis for the alleged
libelous article.
The attorneys for the defendants
took the position that the article was
true, that it was privileged, and that
even If it was not accurate it was not a
libel.
