WISCONSIN DAIRYMENS' AS
ISOLATION.

The forty-frst annual convention of
this association will be held at Ash
land from December tenth to the
twelfth. This is the first time that
any convention of this association
has been held on the shores of Lake
Superior. Among the speakers at
this convention are the following per-
sons well known to Marathon county
citizens The opening address of
welcome will be given by the mayor
of Ashland, DIR. Dodd, who when a
young man spent one summer in Wau-
sau looking for permanent location.
He did not remain because he thought
the profession was likely to be crowded
and he now admits that he did not
realize how fast population would in
crease in this valley. There will be
an address by L. p Martini, who had
charge of the Farmers Institute,
held in this city last winter. Anoth-
er address will be given by Hon. A.

sor Henry, the former dean of the
Wisconsin college of Agriculture, and
Ex-Gov. Hoard will be among the
speakers at the convention. The pro-
gram of the convention gives short
statement on the work accomplished
by the association. The association
met at Watertown, Feb. Is, 1872, and
has extended its investments through
the state until it has reached Lake
Superior. The growth of the associa-
tion is best measured by the increase

THE OLDEST LIVING THING.

The oldest living thing on the
American continent, according to the
theory of biologists, died a natural
death Sunday, Nov. 26. The great fir
tree in Ravenna park, Seattle, Wash,
which has stood for centuries, will
never again put forth green needles,
and the winds of the coming winter
may tear off many of the majestic
boGghs from the gnarled and knotty
sides of the'old monarch.
From the side of the fir, which
measures ffty-eight feet in circum-
ference eighteen inches above the
ground, the age must be greater than
the Christian era. A fire stump fifty
feet from this big tree has enough
ring growths to show that its age
must be more than 1000 years. The
rings are from eleven TO sixteen tC
the inch. The diameter of this tree
was about twelve while that Of the
giant fir is close to twenty feet.
The bark of the tree is eighteen in
ches thick and the height Of the mon
arch is estimated to be more than lst
feet. If utilized for lumber the tres
would make a perfect limbless los
eighty feet long by eighteen feel
| thick.

PARCELS POST MATTERS.

The November monthly supple
ment of the Annual Postal Guide
lately received at the Wausau post
office brings the announcement that
the paraphernalia for handling par
cells post articles will soon be forth
coming. Each postmaster, the Guide
states, will be furnished with tape
lines sixteen feet long, scales large
enough to weigh parcels post articles,
and maps and guides for determining
the rate Of postage on articles in the
different zones. In order tosavoid con-
gestion of mail "held for postage, f"
the postmaster general is anxious
that all patrons of the postoffice be
informed ABOUT the use OF special
stamps for all fourth-class mail mat
ter whether classified as parcels post
articles or not. While the use of the
special stamp viii enable the depart
ment TO determine accurately the
amount of parcels post business done
in a given time at any postoffice ol
through the entire country, is ex
pected that considerable trouble vii
be experienced in educating the peo
pie TO the use of the special stamp.

ANNUAL SALE
Ladies of St. Johns Church Conduct q
Very Successful Event.

The ladies of the Guild of st. Johns
Episcopal church held their annual
sale at Castle hall on Saturday after
noon and evening. The affair was
called Rainbow Bazaar and the idea
was most beautifully carried out in
every detail. Upon entering the hall
one was confronted by a mass of color
ing artistically blended. The main
booth in the centre of the hall was
composed of six little tables, radiat-
ing from one point on the floor under
the chandelier. Each table represented
one of the primary colors and was
trimmed in the tints and shades of
that color. From the chandelier to
the tables were feStoons Of crepe
paper in the six colors Here the
ladies, wearing fetching little caps of
color, presided over the fancy work
which had been made Tor the sale.
Six other booths were stationed at
different places around the hall, the
table at each being in the shape of a
rainbow. Flowers and candy were
sold at the pink booth; cakes and
plum puddings, doughnuts and other
good things to eat at the yellow
booth, and aprons at the violet booth.
The young girls of the Altar Guild
had the blue booth, while the red
booth was presided over by Santa
Clause and contained the grab bag
Light refreshments were served on
the stage during the afternoon and
through the supper hour. The tables
here were attractively ornamented
with crystal candle sticks with shades
of rainbow color Later in the even
ing the floor was cleared and the
young people enjoyed dancing. The
ladies are pleased over the success of
the affair as they cleared 800.

dents will recall that at that time
the news was hailed with much salts
faction, as it brought the three cities
named in much closer connection in a
business and social way. However,
the service was crude and only those
with strong lung power could make
themselves understood over this SEEM
IingEy great distance. That there has
been immense strides in telephone
engineering was exemplitied yester-
day when telephone message to this
Office from Rhinelander could be heard
as distinctly as though the northern
party were only across the street.
The original line running north of
here was single grounded wire
which connected both Wausau and
Merrill, whereas at the present time
the Wisconsin Telephone Co. has two
copper circuits and one ''phantom"
circuit between Stevens Point and
Wausau and a similar equipment be-
tween Stevens Point and Wausau
and similar equipment running to
Merrill, making it possible for three
parties to converse with people in
either of the two cities north of here
at the same time. This is in addition
to local line running to Wausau and
connecting with several small towns
and villages along the way.
1t may be interesting to note that
in this year of grace, 1912, Stevens
Point is connected by no less than AZ

displays. The sun went down in a

These slowly spread over the heavens,
and from them came in quick success
sion flash after flash of vivid light
ming. The air seemed filled with the
electric fluid, and the zig-zag flashes
would often extend over the entire
heavens. At other times they would
blaze out from point about midway
OF the sky, and the chains would
radlate from common center, and
flash out towards every point of the
compass. 1t was a most magnificent
display, and for a long time we stood
and watched the lightning play, and
wondered how long will it be until
mans genius shall utilize the mighty
powers of the air, and compel these
dread agencies to do his bidding and
serve his will.

FEDERAL OFFICES.

Some of the democrats of Stevens
Point are getting busy after the post
Office and other federal positions in
that city and it is just and right that
that they should. The principal
democrats in every community-those
who have furnished the money and
the labor to carry on a campaign,
should be the ones to name their
federal office holders.
1t may be several years before these
offices are filled but selections should
be made now. In Stevens Point the
following are candidates for the post
office: Mrs. Anna Clark, E. d. Glen.
non, III. j. Finch, L. II. Hanna, w.
G. Bates.
In Wausau there has been no sys,
tematic move to make selections for
the post office and the two land office
positions. Several names have been
mentioned. They should go, and un.
doubtedly will, to persons who have
worked long and untiringly in the
democratic ranks in the city of Wau-
Sau.
