THE RURAL CARRIER

The rural postman, day by day,
goes on his long and toilsome way,
and take the farmers mail; he jogs
across the hills and moors and much
of hardship endures for small sup
ply of 'kale' I've seen him driving
through the rain, but never knew
him to complain or read the riot act;
he pushed his tired old nag along and
greeted with cheerful song the cold
cataract. I've seen him when the
blizzard blew, I've seen him when
the snow storms snew, but never
heard him roar; serene he drives
along the trail and leaves the far
mers green good mail in tin box by
the door I've seen him when the
roads were rough, and when the raw
winds We're enough to make mum
my cuss; he iolted DER the ruts and
stones that dislocated all his bones,
and never raised fuss. His wages
made paltry heap and half of it
must go to keep his wagon in repair,
to manicure his trusty bay and keep
his stomach full of hay, but he does
not despair. I've seen no rural post
man yet who made it his life work to
fret and whine about his lot; when
duty calls him to the road without
c0mnlaint ha takes his load a John

CANADIAN CLAIMS ON TRIAL

Let us for monment put the
claims of the Canadian boomer on
trial. If they are giving the public
the facts and if that is the place to
grow the best grains and the most
of them, as the promoters of that
country say, then we can be pleased
to see Wisconsin people go there If,
on the other hand. they are giving
the public a lot of bunk" that fact
should be known and the Wisconsin
press should help make it public. Let
us look into this mater.
A published table that appeared in
all the leading papers on October 20,
gave the quality of the wheat crop of
Saskatchewan as follows: Nos /, 2
and 3, 4445 per cent; No. 4, 23.15
per cent and Nos. 3, 6 and feed, 3240
per cent. 1t is here seen that when
the seed for next year is taken from
the higher grades the balance is more
than two-thirds No. or poorer The
price for No. at Calgary on Novem
ber IA, 1911, was 62 cents, No. 5 was
% cents, No 6 was 44cents and feed
was AZ cents per bushel. By some
slip in their methods, the Canadian
the newspapers that the cost Of grow
ing wheat in Canada is So cents per
bushel The profits Cor loss) on at
least two-thirds of the crop of 1911
can be pretty closely determined from
the above figures And lest that it
may be said that the estimates given
above are erroneous, let it be said
that the published statements of the
receipts at Winnipeg show the grades
to be even worse than above indi
Gated For instance, on November
Is, 1911, of the 459 cars received at
Winnipeg, were No. /, 6S No. 2,
124 No. and PSI were No. 4 or
poorer On October 10, 1911, of the
receipts at Winnipeg, out of 845 car
loads 456 were No or poorer The
receipts on other dates indicate about
the same grades.
Nor is this the worst of the Situa-
ton, at least not much worse, than
the fact that the RAILROADS are utterly
unable to move more than fraction
of the wheat to market While most
of the American papers have declined
to give the facts of the situation, a
few have done so, and the Winnipeg
papers have recently taken hold of
the matter with determination that
the facts shall be known. The papers
there have apparently come to the
conclusion that there is no profit In
having families locate 20 to 40 miles

Robert M. La Toilette is the over

United States.
In total vote estimated at about
$4,000, the senator is expected to

The vote which has been counted

Even the Missouri s,ope, the former

to have gone strong for La Toilette.
Despite the storm, the voters came
out in force, and county after county,

some majorities to the Wisconsin
