If we are to have primaries and ex-

NO SUNDAY MAIL
Under a New Law Postoffices viii
Not Open on Sunday and No
Mail Be Distributed.

The following order from the post
office department at Washington is
self-explanatory
"Postoffice Department
First Assistant Postmaster General,
Washington, Aug "a, 1912,
"Postmaster-Sir:
The postoffice appropriation act for
the fiscal year ending June 80 1912,
provides:
THAT hereafter postoffices of the
first and second classes shall not be
open on Sundays for the purpose of
delivering mail to the general public,
but this provision shall not prevent
the prompt delivery of special deliy-
cry mail
Under this law you will close the
general delivery, carriers windows,
and lock boxes and discontinue all de-
liveries by carriers on Sunday. You
will note, however, that special de-
livery mail is excepted and you will
therefore arrange TO have on duty a
sufficient force to handle this mail
matter promptly.
THE department desires to reduce
Sunday work to the minimum so that
as many of the employees as possible
may enjoy complete day of rest on
Sunday You should, therefore re-
quire only sufficient number o.
clerks to- report for duty on that day
in order that transit mail and the
mail collected for dispatch may be
handled without delay. If no mail is
dispatched on Sunday very early col.
lection should be made on Monday
morning and the mail for local deliv-
cry distributed before the carriers
leave for their first trip.
Respectfully,
&c. p. Grandfield.

WOULD AMEND ELECTION LAW.

Hon. A. NJ. Kennedy, who has been
member OF the legislature for sew
eral terms, and who has again been
nominated, will endeavor to have a
new election law passed at the next
session. 1t is striking, original and
proposes number of sweeping
changes. Concerning the measure,
Mr.. Kennedy says:
Il am preparing and will introduce
a comprehensive election bill which
will be the most progressive measure
of the kind that has ever been pro-
posed in this or any other state. If it
becomes a law, and its provisions are
enforced, we have heard the last of
hired campaign managers and paid
political agitators in Texas.
among the things proposed will be
the elimination of that provision Of
the present law which requires city
poll tax receipt in addition to the
state and county poll as necessary
qualification to vote. Probably so per
cent of the voters of Texas pay $1.75,
while the other 20 per cent pay from
$3.50 to $2.75. This is a discrimina-
tion unwarranted and should be rem
edied.
Presidential primaries will be pro-
vided for, as will the election of
United States senators, by popular
vote. Conventions will be so regulated
that there can be no stolen delegates
and no excuse for the repeal of the
local self-government policy so long
taught by democrats but which in this
state, since the convention which met
in Fort Worth in 1908, has been
trampled under foot by which ever
faction happened to control. The San
Antonio platform as to campaign con-
tributions will be followed and then
some.
Majority nominations, for which
contended in the legislature which
adopted the present law, will be in.
cluded. Voting precincts will be lin
tied to 200 poll tax payers and pro
visions made for the prompt returns
from all elections.
There will be publicity provision

HITTING FRAUD

In view of the voluminous adver-
Using being done by Canadian land
concerns, in which the advantages
offered in wertern Canada are pictur-
ed in glowing colors, it is well to
note the fact that the reliable press Of
the country that makes a speciality Of
ascertaining and publishing informa-
tion assert that western Canada is
over crowed in proportion to the ca
pacity of the railroads to handle the
product of the farms. In fact most
of the wheat in large part OF that
country has not been moved and the
estimates are that much OF it never
will 90 to the market The ST. Paul

went fully into this matter and
showed that the result was not only a
great loss to the settlers who were
told that everything was to be serene
but to the townspeople, especially the
merchants. Conditions have reached
the point that impels the Winnipeg
papers to take hold of the matter and
it is probable that there will be as
big a row in Canada as there is now in
in congress over the Misrepresentation
in Florida. Thus does real infOrma-
tion come to the people when it is too
late to save them from loss. The
case is similar to the one where the
door was locked after the horse was
stolen. The settler in western Cana
da. 80 to 40 miles from a railroad sta
tion, who raised some No. 1, 5 or 6
wheat and had to pile it up in the
street because there were no eleva-
tors or trains to handle it, would
doubtless be interested in Wisconsin
land within two or three miles from
fully developed towns and with rail-
roads able to haul his produce to the
best markets in few hours. But he
will have nothing TO come to Wiscon-
sin with. And the most unpleasant
feature Of the situation is that many

The statiscal department of the

hes taken steps to prevent Wiscosin
people from being fooled by the
claims of the southern exploiters
that their sections are immune from
frosts and that, every month is grow

side of publicity work, but it is better
to do it than to have the people of
this state buncoed by such claims and
induced to go there only to find that
there is but little difference Ia the
length of the real growing seasons
there and here. In its bulletins the
Wisconsin Advancement association
has pointed out the fact that in No

unsurpassed, and fisherman come to
Villas county from all parts of the
country There are fourteen summer
resorts within a few miles of Eagle
River which bring many thousand
tourists, which fact alone is tremen-
6ous advantage to the community.
Another advantage. scarcely less
important altho as yet not realized, is
the wealth of water power waiting to
be used. The town of Eagle River
owns and operates dam across the
Wisconsin River four miles from the
village from which power is derived
for the electric light plant and the
water works. within few years the
town will also own and operate these
plants, thus furnishing these conven-
fences at the lowest cost as well as pro-
viding adequate fire protection; and
besides will have thousands of horse
power to give to manufacturing
plants as an inducement for locating
here. This will eventually guarantee
steady employment to scores and hum
dreds of persons, One plant has
already started here.
No better statement of the true con-
ditions in Villas county can be made
than that of Henry Wallace, founder
and publisher of Wsllace's Farmer, a
farm journal of Des Moines, Iowa who
visited this section few months ago
and although before coming was pred
udiced against the "cut over lands of
the north, went back most favorably
impressed. Mr.. Wallace is one of the
most prominent authorities on agri-
culture in the United States, is
dent of the National Conservation
Congress and was appointed by Roose-
welt as member of the country Life
Commission. He wrote for his journal
in part as follows.
And why not more settlers?
Simply because OF the work clearing it
up. The sight of a field Of pine stumps
which have been lifted up out of the
ground by dynamite, or Of the log
heaps of down stuff, will make the
sweat ooze out of every pore of the
crop failure and the man with little
money, or mucn money, will tind it
guaranteed producer if he has the es-
sentials to make it such energy, pa

puts into the ground is bound to bring

The Reason

A dreamer sat
Beside his door
And read the verse
OF Thomas Moore,
Describing eyes
OF wondrous charm
And faithful hearts
Forever warm.
The while he read
And heaved a sigh
A stunning maid
Went tripping by
And cen bestowed
On him a look;
But he was buried
In his book.
Nor seemed to know,
Nor seemed to care
How sweet she was,
How truly fair;
When rosy bloom
Was on her cheek;
How soft her words,
If she would speak.
And still he sat
Beside his door
And read the verse
OF Thomas Moore
And quite ignored
The maid so trim,
Because his wife
Was watching him.
