Slip PruneS bg
Parcels Post.

A shipper in San Diego will give
the new parcels post good start. He
has decided to ship two car loads OF
prunes to New York in eight pound
packages. The parcels post rate is
ninety-six cents on such a package,
the highest in tie postal tariff, for San
Diego is in zone and New York is
zone /. Here was a real competition
for the express companies, which for
years have borne the luscious fruit di-
rect from California to the ultimate
consumers in New York boarding
houses. Determined beyond all
question to retain the prune traffic,
the express companies have cut the
rate to 35 cents. The government can
not meet it, for the parcels post tariff is
fixed.

SOUTH AMERICANS
VISIT SCHOOLS
-Four Young Ladies of
Uruguay Come to Sauk
County to See Methods
THEIR SCHOOLS PRIMARY
This County Was the Only
One Visited While in
Wisconsin.
THEIR SCHOOLS PRIMARY

A commission consisting of the
Misses Victoria Frigerio, America
Martinez, Maria Espinola and Nilda
Castellucci have been sent to the
United States and Canada by the
government of Uruguay, South Amer
lea, to study the educational methods
used in these countries.
For the past eighteen months the
ladies have been at Cornell university
and are now visiting different edu-
cational institutions in the several
states. They visit but one school, of
each kind as their time is limited.
Upon the advice of Supt. Cary they
selected the Sauk County Training
school at Reedsburg and the rural
schools of this county as the one to
visit while in Wisconsin.
One forenoon was spent in the Train
ing school and in the afternoon Super
intendent Davies took them to see the
work of one of the graduates, Miss
Carrie Trumpf, who teaches in the
Cady district.
These young ladies with but one
exception could not speak a word of
English when they left Uruguay.
During their eighteen months stay
they have learned to understand our
language and can speak fairly good
English. The official language of
Uruguay is Spanish. They are very
intelligent and pleasant to meet and
were greatly interested and pleased
with what they saw.
The ladies were especially interested
in our work in agriculture. The
country school visited had seed corn on
convenient drying racks, pressed leaves
of native trees mounted, collections of
seeds and grains in bottles, also
of patching and darning done
by the pupils.
In Spanish schools DO time is given
to spelling beyond the first or second
grade because of their phonetic
language.

DEATH OF mrs. DEWOLFE
Dies in Portage-F Funeral
and Burial at BarabOo
on Saturday.

Mrs. Carolyn p. DeWolfe of Wake
field, Mass, passed away Thursday,
Dec. 26, 1912, at 1915 a. m., at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. s.. FL. Pech, 421
E. Conant street, Portage, Wis, where
she had come just week before for a
visit and a rest. Two months ago
Mrs. DeWoIfe came west to be with
her niece, Mrs. Mary. DeWolfe Peck,
of Baraboo, who died two weeks ago.
The long physical and mentals strain
of the sick room lowered her vitality
and a severe cold which she contracted
at the time of Mrs. Peck's death
brought on an attack of acute Bright's
disease complicated with pneumonis.
She became ill Friday, Dec. 20, and in
spite of all that her physicians and
friends could do, grew steadily worse.
Mrs. DeWolf was a woman of supe-
rior intellect and of the finest type of
noble, charitable, highminded Chris
tian womanhood. Just to know her
was an inspiration and an uplift to-
ward higher better things. All her life
was spent in uuselfish self-sacriicing
deeds and in trying to lift and help the
weak and weary. The world is little
nearer heaven because Carolyn De
Wolfe lived in it.
Mrs. DeWolfe was born in Danvers,
Mass, seventy-two years ago last Sep
tember 26. She was the widow of DR.
James e. DeWolfe, who for twenty-five
years was prominent physician and
surgeon in Chicago. After the DOCTORS
retirement they went TO Baraboo and
built beautiful little home among the
hills few miles from the town-a fit
spot In which to commune with nature
and natures God. There the doctor
passed away ten years ago. Their
two children died in early childhood.
Funeral at o'clock on Saturday at
the home of Mrs. J. G.. Train, Eighth
street, Baraboo.

rectangles and into eight zones. Each
of the little rectangles bears anumber
and postal directory accompanying
the map contains al the offices, each
having a number. If q person de-
sires to send some pork, potatoes, par
ships and peas to Aunt PAMELA at
Reedsburg for boiled dinner the
clerk will turn to the directory for the
number given to Reedsburg, then on
the map find the zone and compute
the cost of sending. The number for
Baraboo is 2312. There are zones in

Baraboo because this city is far from
the limits. From Baraboo, California
and other portions of the Pacific coast,
are in the 7th zone. The cost of sending

authorities at any time. All matter
which is securely fastened and cannot
be opened will not be accepted as par
cells post but as first class mail matter
and charges will be M ade accordingly.

sending of mail will govern the parcels
post system to great extent. No
obscene mail will be allowed and no
intoxicants of any kind can be sent.

Dear Mr.. Watson: Enclosed find
so cents money order for Maria
Monks work. Wish I was able to
send you $4,000 for your trial ex-
penses. | feel sure you will come
out alright. I was sure they would
put it off till the last possible mo-
ment, and then "some more" I
don't believe they will ever have it
till they can get a Catholic jury. If
they don't get that it will wear out
just where it is. I can't see why
people don't get busy in this matter.
It's true some are so ignorant of
what's going on. They never read,
especially your literature. Others
let their prejudice rule. But I say, 1
hope the day is not far distant when
all will wake up to their sense of
duty and get busy. You are right
where you need no balky team.
l earnestly believe you to be an
instrument in Gods hand, guiding
and directing the people Alright. So
few heed. Pity! Pity!
Hoping to get Maria Monk by re-
turn mail, and wishing you so much
to the good, I am, respectfully,

THE ''TOM WATSON'F CHESTNUTS
IMMENSE,

Dear Tom: Your letter received
some few days ago. Sorry you did
not get the chestnuts sooner They
are doing very we'll; have ten trees,
most of which are young ones. Have
one large one that will yield about
one bushel per year. I have put
some on the market, and they bring
fairly good price; would do better
if they could be kept any length of
time. They are so large they sour
before they dry out. They eat little
better when boiled or roasted. If
nothing happens will send you some
more next fall. I only call them
"Tom Watson" on account of size.
I am ever your we'll wisher

kept beautifully. T. e. w.
eff Christ meant to do such stu
pendousIy important thing, as to Sc

why did he not proclaim it i'm words
which could not be misunderstood;
and why did he not command the
