Are Excursions A Disadvantage.

Whether or not the Sunday excursion
is an advantage or disadvantage is a
mooted question. They provide cheap
transportation, and enable many worthy
people to visit friends, who under
other circumstances would not be able
to do so. Upon the other hand, they
also provide cheap transportation which
enables our cooks and other help to
spend their summer vacations in across
the river cities, much to our discom-
fort, and they also provide way for
the bringing of much contraband booze
into this otherwise desert country.

Sidewalks AT Last.

Sidewalks for which our people have
so long wished seem to be about to be-
come a realty. Most of the notices
have been served and we have heard
of no one who has demurred to putting
them down, nor do we believe that
anyone will do so. Heretofore there
seems to have been reluctance upon
the part of some of our people to put
ting down walks because their neigh
bors were not putting them down, but
now that the city has determined that
all shall put down sidewalks, and no
favoritism is to be shown, we believe
that all will do so cheerfully.
With the many beautiful residences
which we already have on each street,
and many more that are to be built.
and with handsome concrete sidewalks
on every street, Lancaster will present
the prettiest appearance of any town
of its size in Central Kentucky.

New Train Service Seems A Certainty.

The Lexington papers are strongly
of the opinion that the new train SER
vice over the L & N which was outlined
in detail in a recent issue of the Re.
cord will be inaugurated in the neal
future, and if it proves a success il
will be amplifed. The new service il
inaugurated would enable Lancaster
people to leave Lancaster about 5
O'Clock in the morning, have breakfast
on the train, reach Lexington about Z
a. m. and returning reach home about
8:45 at night, being thus enabled to
spend the entire dav in Lexington.
The train would go through to Lexing-
ton without change and would then
continue south to Knoxville as a fast
train. Such service would be very
convenient and acceptable to citizens
in this part of the state.

Better Clear Your Alley.

Complaint has been made to the City
Council that some of the alleys of the
city are being blocked by people leav-
ing wagons. vehicles and various other
kinds of obstacles in them. Unless
this is stopped at once the council will
be compelled to take drastic measures
in order to protect themselves. The
blockading of the alleys is not only a
menace to those who are compelled to
travel them, but is also a menace to
the city, for they are just as much
responsible for an alley being blocaded
as for a street, and should some one
drive or fall over one of these obstruct-
ions after night, the city would be liza
BILE for damage sustained.

Real Estate Traders.

Real estate traders are becoming as
numerous in Lancaster as horse swap
pers on jockey row on county court
day. Several young men about town
have formed partnership and are specu-
lating in Lancaster dirt. not as real e.
tate dealers but as brokers, buying and
selling outright. Scarcely a week pass

is an advantage to the community as
they buy property and then divide it
up and dispose of it, thus enabling our
citizens to secure building lots which
were heretofore not on the market and
were unobtainable.

Will Advertise Wisconsin
Grown and Made Products.

Products grown in Wisconsin" and
articles ''made in Wisconsin" will be
widely known for their excellence and
quality if the plan originated by An
drew w. Hopkins, editor of the Wis.
Farmer, is adopted by the leading pro-
ducers and manufacturers of the state.
The plan of the movement is to en-
courage Wisconsin producers and man
ufacturers to market only their super
Tor products with grown in Wisconsin
or made in Wisconsin" labels or trade
marks distinctly stamped upon them
and then to acqnaint as many as posi-
able of the customers of this country
with the exclleuce of ali products bear
ing this stamp which would stand for
superior quality.
Already the Wisconsin agriculture
Experiment Association, the Wisconsin
consin Live Stock Breeders Association
the Wisconsin State Horticulture Soc
iety, the Wisconsin Cheese Makers AS
ISOLATION, the Wisconsin Butter Makers
Association, and other important org
anizations of producers and manufac-
turers have considered the adviSability
of adopting the plan and several of
these associations have officially endors-
ed this scheme and have had the trade
marks designed for them, copyrighted
by the federal government and regis
tered by the state, thus making it pos
sible for them to restrict the use of
this label and standard except by mem
bers of their respective association
who would agree to pack or crate and
market only such products under this
label as would be credited to them
selves, their association and the state.
Below appears d cut of the trade
mark design which the officials of the
Wisconsin State Horticulture Society
have adopted and have duly copy
righted and registered with the state
and national governments. The de-
sign is the exclusive property of this
ASSOCIATION and can be used only by
permission. "No condition governing
its use" recently declared Frederick
Cranefield secretary of the society
have as yet been formulated aud I'M
til this has been done no use can be
made of the emblem. In order to be of
value it must be widely used, but in
order to be of,the highest value anb
credit to the Society and the state. it
should be used strlctly on nigh grade

THE DAIRY INDUSTRY

The dairy industry of Wisconsin IS
one of the chief industries of the
state. The returns of the dairy' in
terests to the farmers of Wisconsin
are greater than the output of the
gold mines in the five greatest gold
producing districts of the United
States. The report of the United
States Treasurer shows in the report
of the year 1910 that the gold pro-
dueed by the mines of Alaska, Cali
fornia, Nevada, Utah and Colorado
was not as great as the production of
the dairy interests of the same year.
gold mine can be exhausted but
once. Every ton of ore removed reduces
the output of the future. The results
of the dairy interests are the opposite.
As the dairy interests increase in Wis
consin. fertility is restored to the soil,
and the farms made more productive.
No scientist as yet has been bold
enough to fix the limit in this state.
With the state only half developed,
the income of the dairy sources is yet
in its infancy, because we are just
learning the possibilities of more
highly developed livestock, and the
wealth they can produce.-W. FL.

PARCEL POST SUGGESTION.

If the government wishes to make
the parcel post more popular and con-
venient it will permit the use of ordi-
nary stamps on parcels after June 80.
By July l this branch of the service
will have been in operation six months,
and the Postal Department should be
able to Judge how general the use of
the system is.
Why discommode patrons for another
six months when the success of the
service has been amply demonstrated?
1t was perhaps inevitable that in the
beginning special stamps should be used
for the parcels SO that some statistics
would be available on this branch of
the postal business, but with six
months. returns before the department
certainly very good idea of what may
he expected for the next six months
can be obtained and the public relieved
of the inconvenience of using special
stamps. The demand for regular stamps
we believe, is we'll nigh country wide,
and Mr.. Burleson should realize this
and govern himself accordingly Bos-
ton Globe.

live EDITOR TALKS WISCONSIN

The following is from the columns
of the NeiIsville Republican and Press.
It occupies no more space than articles
that some other papers print about
other states, and certainly does more
good:
This week, by the assistance of The
Wisconsin Advancement Association,
The Republican and Press ISSUES sup
nlement filled with reliable information
ahout the resources of Wisconsin and
the possibilities of the state. ms is a
topic of which / never grow tired ana
INFO which l can put all the enthusiasm
I possess. For many years Wisconsin
suffered because her own citizens sat
idIv and silently gazing at other states
and provinces calling our best young
manhood and womanhood away, lured
bv the vague but mangifcent promise
of wealth. | have nothing to say "a
gainst any other state or region any
where, but this | know, that many
have left Wisconsin simply because
thew did not know their own state
vast and varied resources. Older states
of the east and even portions of the
middle west, such as Ohio and Indiana,
have suffered from this same draining
away of their best young citizenship
leaving to populate and develop their
own territory, the sweaklings and
cleft overs of the inhabitants. The
virile manhood of whole communities
has moved west or gone into industrial
and professional life in cities. Shall
we let the rural life of Wisconsin be
thus drained away? Against this pos
sibilitv there is a resoIute stand being
taken today by many of our best and
most far-sighted citizens. Some local.
ties in Wisconsin have already suffer-
ed loss by the seeping away OF capital
and lusty, vigorous efficient people
leaving to build western communities.
Wisconsin has room and to spare for
all such within her own borders; room
for thr conservation and building up OF
her older soils, room for all sorts OF IN
dustrial enterprises, room for pro"
fessional men of all types, room for
every variety of agriculture fruit rals-
ing, drirying, etc. For Commercial
development its location is wonderful
bordering as it does on the two most
western of the Great Lakes and the
Mississippi river, crossed by main
trunk lines of several great railroads;
in close proximity to great and grow
ing Cities with mining and manutac-
turing to still further give good home
market and furnish a great variety OF
occupations, and thousand minor
things to add to life's possibilities.
There is certainly strong foundation
for urging upon good people every
where to come to Wisconsin and good
people young and old who live here to
remain.
