ANNUAL STOCK
HOLDERS MEETING

About twenty members of the
Crooked Rift Rod and Reel club
met at their club house on the east
bank CT the Wisconsin river near
Rocheleau Saturday night in annual
session. They served a fish and
chicken choWder supper, after which
they enjoyed a social time and talk
ed over matters of interest to the
club A committee of three were
appointed to investigate and make a
report On what was best to do in
reference to rebuilding and enlarg-
ing the present club house, or tear
ing the old building down and build
ing a new one. The committee con
sists of Chas. Kellogg, T. A. Taylor,
A. j. Hasbrouck, D. B. Philleo and
Otto Roenius.
The following officers were elect
ed for the ensuing year:
President-C. F. Kellogg.
Vice President A. NJ. Muir.
Secretary-W H. Reeves.
Treasurer-D. B. PhiIleo.
1t was practically the unanimous
sentiment Of all present that some
thing should be done to improve the
general conditions of the club house
and grounds and insist upon better
care of the buildings and property
during the unoccupied season.

1.-TWO TERMS ENOUGH

The influence OF all the possible
future aspirants for the office Of
register of deeds will be exerted this
fall to give the office to a new man.
This is a quantity of no mean i'm
portance. Mr.. Pipe relied upon that
influence four years ago when he
ran as an Independent candidate af-
ter losing out at the primary. 1t
waIs no small factor in giving him
the election. Every defeated candi-
date is believed to have voted for
and worked for the Independent can
didate at that time so as to main
tain the established precedent of
1.-TWO terms enough" for the best Of
flee in Waupaca county.
Had the present incumbent con-
suited his better Judgment and re
called the pledges he made not to
run for a third term, he might have
boosted of the distinction of being
barred from the list of candidates
for a third term by his own pledge
to his constituents and his former
opponents that he would never be a
cadnidate for third term in the
office where the election had for
years hinged ON the issue that two
terms for register of deeds is
enough Waupaca Post.

is THE POSTCARD FAD DYING
OUT?

Every once in a While one sees "a
newspaper note to the effect that
the postcard fad is going by. Yet
wherever there are tourists this sum
mer, there seems to be the same old
throng like flies around the picture
card counter
Probably the use of silly motto
cards viii prove to be but passing
craze. Even people of superficial in
telligence get tired of reminding
their friends by mail to do it now"
and other equally sensible exhorta-
tons. Some other equally ephemeraI
form of exchanging persiflage will
be found Also many of the cards
verge on the coarse and indecent. The
exchange of this kind of pleasantly
viii in time seem tiresome even to
dun minds.
But the picture card. illustrating
scenery or points of interest is new
er likely TO die out. 1t has made
quite a little saving to the traveller
looking Tor souvenirs. Formerly you
had to buy photographs to Illustrate
a vacation outing, for about % cents
each. The next step was a book of
Photographic reproduction, that might
sell for = to 30 cents apiece. The
postcard craze has enabled people
to carry a pretty set of souvenirs of
their travels for a few nickeI.s
Also, the picture cards appeal to
the modern inability to write let
ters. No matter how much the So
cial philosopher may deplore it. the
epistoIary habit is dying out. A
friendship cannot be very vital if
the only thing to keep it alive is a
half dozen words of greeting and
the exchange of glimpses of summer
resort scenery. But the picture card
habit gives a ready relief from the
labors of the pen and the writing

BUSINESS MEMS ASSN.

In the news columns of the RE
PORTER tonight appears an article
regarding the formation of a Bust
ness Mems Association This is a
move in the right direction. The
leading part in this project is being
taken by the retail merchants of the
city and it is right that they should
be the prime movers in things of
this kind. The formation of a Bust
ness Mems or Merchants Associa--
ton, was urged by the DAILY RE
PORTER three years ago. The re-
tail merchant is the one who real
ICES the first benefits from increas-
ed population and growth of the
city. People must eat and wear cloth
es.
Now that the business men are
going into this new organization, it
is to be hoped that every one will
give it a boost and help make the
organization a success.
Reading the letters received from
the cities written to, shows that
such organizations properly conduct
ed and working for the whole peo-
pie all the time do help a city to
get ahead
We are on the right track and
it is pretty certain that the new or
SANITATION will do lot for the mer-
chants and for the city in general,
and that Grand Rapids will take
its place with its sister cities of the
state.

VISIT MAKES STORIES
OF SCOTLAND SEEM REAL
Marshfield News.

Following is communication
from Prof. M. H. Jackson, written
in Scotland
Leaving Glasgow by train we reach
ed Lodi Lomond in an hour and the
stories of Rob Roy" and sThe
Lady of the Lake" are now to be
made concrete and real.
In the Trossades Mountains by
Lodi Kattrine we spend a iayous
day where Fitz James wandered in
search of deer but found first Ellen
Douglas and Ellen's Isle, then Rod
erick Dhu the leader of Clan Anime
We fancy the story to be real and
that it has just happened. Why not?
The isle is there, and it is certainly
the same one. With SCOTS great
story in our hands we follow the
path of long ago, from ''promontory
steep down to Ben Ledi and CoiIan-
togle Ford where the flight took
place. 1t is all so real now that we
are On fire with enthusiasm.
The next day, We visit Rob Roy's
grave at Balguhidder, and then we
go to Alberfoil and Kippen the scenes
OF many of his "cattle lifting opera
tiOns. I shall certainly be able to
interpret Sir Walter SCOTS two
great stories better because of this
pilgrimage.
Then Stirling Castle comes into
view, and we go to the old battle
field of Baunockburn. This battle
took place just 600 years ago. Here
Robert Bruce won that tremendous
victory over the English army. Then
we climb Abbey Craig, 300 feet
high and the Wallace monument at
the top another 200 feet high. From
this great height we look across the
BEAUTIFUL valley now dotted with minia
ture farms to Stirling Castle on the
other high rock. Here We're the
SCOTS under Sir William Wallace,
and over there were the English In
we see another great
Scottish victory at the bridge be
tween. You have read the story of
the battle of Stirling Bridge"
This has been a very busy and en-
joyable week. All is going splendid
ly. l am to go to the Scott coun-
try and the Abbeys next week.
am changing my plans somewhat. l
expect now to go way north to Alb
erdeen and beyond before I go to

THE SUMMER TRAVELLERS COM
FORT,

The summer months fill the rail-
road trains with a jam of people, who
take but one vacation a year, and
that in July or August Travelling
is often hot and dusty in this per-
iod. 1t will be good policy for rail
road corporations TO do all they can
to make it pleasant Great as have
been the improvements in railroad
travel of recent years, the best is
none too good. For most people a
long railroad journey the cause of
a good deal Of WEAKNESS.
To many simple minded people, a
seat in a so-called palace car US
ed to be thought the limit of soft
luxury. But even the man who pays
his extra dollars for this additional
comfort, finds that it is no sure
preventive of WEAKNESS. The very
best constructed car chair contains
an angle that does not fit the cur
yes Of the human frame.
In summer, ventilation is often
unsatisfactory, because of the smudge
of coal smoke, which makes neces-
sary the closing of windows. Every
car ought to be literally provided
with wide roof YentiIators. These
should be well screened, but cap
able of admitting air freely. Ere
quentIy the screen is built of such
a close mesh that it practically ex-
cludes air as we'll as cinders.
Car builders can add much to the
public comfort by giving all seats
high backs. On a low back seat, the
endless jerking of the head by the
rocking of the train is perhaps the
one greatest cause of fatigue. Many
people consider European trains
more comfortable in this resp ct.
Their compartment system places ev-
cry passenger against a padded
back reaching well above his head.
The more comfortable the ordi--
nary day coaches are made, the
more people will travel. There is
little inducement to take long jour
neys on short vacations, if the rail
road travel leaves you more tired
than you were at the start.
