For two months. starting this morn
ing. rural letter carriers on route num-
bers / and , out of Tempe will be re-
quired to count and weigh all mail

few years have the carriers been re-
CURED to do this, just a year ago TODAY
they started on a two months count and
weighing of all mail matter. With the
conclusion Of the present extra work
by the carriers the mail department
will be able to ascertain a number of
things, among them the increase of
their bushes during the last year, and
the increase of the parcel post sys-
tenn since its installation the first of

FAIR GROUND IMPROVEMENTS.
Crew of Men Busy Rebuilding Fair
Grounds. Secretary Enger and
Officers Preparing Splendid
Program.

The new fair grounds has been
d busy place during the past week.
The sheds along the west fence, the
hog pens and the poultry sheds
have all been taken down, and much
better places for the stock exhibit
will be provided in the northeast
corner of the grounds, leaving the
space formerly occupied for this
purpose for the hitching of teams
and the accommodation of those
wishing to see the races on the track.
Trees will be planted along the west
fierce. and hitching posts provided
for teams. New high board fences
have been built along the south and
north sides of the grounds, the north
fence being moved some three hun
dred feet north, taking in the addi-
tional space now a part of the
grounds. The front or west fence is
well along, and by the time for the
fair to open it will look like an en-
tirely new place, and will be much
more comfortable and convenient.
We are going to have fine fair in
September, and every provision is
being made to take the best of care
Of the 'big crowds expected. The
premium list will be issued in a few
days from this office, and Secretary
ELger is busy getting things lined
up for the best fair Winneshiek
county ever saw. The attractions
and amusements will excel anything
we have ever had, and really will
resemble state fair more than a
county fair. There will be so much
to see that you will want to figure
on two or three days at the fair
anyway, and meantime, plan on
bringing along something to exhibit,
too, for nearly everyone has some
thing out of the ordinary that 9TH
ers would enjoy seeing. Let's make
it our fair, you and ali of us, and
fair that we will remember for
years to come.

LoPs OFF REVENUE DISTRICT.
Entire State of Iowa Put Under One
Office, in Charge of Democrat
by Wilson.

The state of Iowa henceforth will
consist of one internal revenue dis
trict and Louis Murphy of Dubuque.
appointed by President Wilson a few
weeks ago for the northern district
will be the collector.
President Wilson has issued an
order abolishing the southern dis
trict of Iowa, thus legislating the
Republican collector and his force
out of office. The consolidation, ac-
cording to the treasury department
will result in greater efficiency and
economy in the collection of internal
revenue taxes in this state.
The last congress directed the
president to cut off four collection
districts in the country. President
Taft, much to the chagrin of the
Democrats, abolished three districts
in the south and one district in Cali
fornia. President Wilson, much to
the joy of the southern Democrats,
restored one district in South Caro-
lima at the same time he abolished
the district in Iowa.

Pioneer of DEBORAH Passes.

Mr.. o. n. Bagne, a well known
resident of DEBORAH for many years
passed away last Thursday at the
home of Mrs. H. P. Johnson, after
an illness of nine weeks, from par
alysis. He was born April Z, 1888,
at Hardanger, Norway, and came to
DEBORAH in 1860, where he has
made his home ever since, having
followed the occupation of shoemak-
er and conducting shoe store. He
leaves a sister at Peters, MINI. to
mourn his death. The funeral SER
vices were held on Monday, from
the First Lutheran church, Rev.
Carlo A. Sperati officiating, with in
terment in the Norwegian cemetery.
Mr.. Bagne was the friend of every
one who knew him. A kindly, con-
genial gentleman, unassuming and
courteous in manner, he was re-
spected and admired by all who had
known him for so many years, and
his familiar form will be missed by
many.

The Fig Leaf Age.

The following little rhyme, said L
come from the breezy west, is yer!
true reflection of present day styles
Little girl, you look so small,
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no shimmy shirt?
Don't you wear no petty skirt?
Just your corset and your hose
Are those all your underclothes?
Little girl, when on the street
You appear to be all feet;
With your dress so very tight,
You are just an awful sight
Nothing on to keep you warm;
Crazy just TO show your form.
Little girl you won't live long,
Just because you dress all wrong.
Can't you wear more underclothes
Than your corset and your hose?
After while, | do believe,
You will dress like Mother Eve!

TAX FIGURES ABOUT SAME.
But Little Change Noted In Accounts
of The State Assessors. Same
Old Problem on Hand.

Des Moines, July 2S.-Over g.
000 acres of land that has previous
ly come under the eagle eyes of the
$500 assessors of the state was
kept out of sight this year. The to-
tai of acres of land found for as
sessment this year was 34,565,21S
acres. This includes putting in Mar
shall county the same as last year,
since Marshall has not yet reported.
The previous total acres of land
found for assessment was 34,62S,-
SS1.
But the assessors found the farm
lands which they discovered to have
greater value by over $4,000, 900
than they did at the last land as
sessment. The aggregate this year,
with Marshall same as before, is
S1,754, 496,151.
The adjusted actual value of town
lots as returned to the state officials
this year, with one county estimat-
ed, is S2,6SS,962; but year ago
it was 35,761,962.
1t should be explained however,
that to the value of town lots last
year should be added $1,000, 900
lOI LCN anu W Tic value
of farm lands last year S5,367, 900
for new buildings. The new build
ings are included in the land assess
ment this year The exemptions
last year were over S21,000,000;
this year nearly 30,000,000.
The value of bank stock and mo-
neyed capital last year was $62,SS7,-
044 this year with four counties
missing as yet it is S51, 737, 63S. The
four counties will add about nine
million. Bank stock is therefore de-
creasing rapidly in Iowa.
1t will therefore be seen that the
assessment figures as returned from
the counties have not been very
greatly changed, in the aggregate
from the figures of other years;
and the state executive council has
before it the same old problem of
raising assessments or raising the
tax levy.
