BIRTHDAY OF POSTAL CARD;
PUBLIC FORCED ADOPTION
First issued Forty five Years Ago by
Austria-A Billion a Year Our Output.

Forty-five years ago the worlds first
postal card was issued by the Austrian
postoffice officials at Vienna. The first
In the United States appeared four years
later, after public demand forced this
government concession.
The principal official argument against
the postal card was that such open COM
munication offered an excellent oppor-
tunity for the writer of libel to eXer-
else his nefarous work. Official oppo-
sition met with popular clamor in other
countries. and various were the meth
DDS to force governments to follow Aus
trials lead
An English army officer in India,
where he missed the postal card he
had become accustomed to in England.
forced the Indian government TO capt.
ulate. The government had claimed
there was no popular demand for postal
cards. The officer set out to demon
strate that there was. He had postal
cards bearing his name and rank print
ed and used them entirely for his own
correspondence. inducing his friends TO
follow his example. The officer was
ordered to discontinue this practice.
He replied that If he chose to write
messages on Il piece of cardboard in
stead Of on sheets Of paper the author
tiles could not compel him to inclose
the card in an envelope. The legal ad-
visers of the government sustained
him.
Today the postal card is universal,
In the United States nearly 100000
GOO government postal cards are issued
annually. The American people are
spending about $1OOOO,OOO a year for
postal cards.
/ Two rotary presses, each capable of
/ printing, cutting and distributing the
/ postal cards into packages of twenty
/ five each package, bound with a paper
/ band, are turning them out at the max
/ imum rate of 100000 every working
/ day of eight hours.

0, For a Peaceful Place!

Wherever on this earth you go
You're sure to strike both war and woe.
From Europe. unto Mexico
The world is fighting mad.
And even these United States
Are battling over taxes rates.
And other trouble on you CRATES
To make you feel quite sad.
There does not seem a quiet place
About for peaceful men to trace
And show you where to set your face
Away from all this war.
On land there is an awful scare.
On water dangers everywhere,
And bombs come dropping from the air.
No matter where you are.
There's not a corner of the earth
Which not of peace has direful dearth
Or not to fresh Quarrels giving birth,
Thus peaceful living bars.
| wonder if we left it, then,
And other worlds were in our ken.
If we would find its race of men
Were fighting up in Mars.

was knocked in a heap. An imbecile
ran up and down beside the table
choo-chooing in imitation Of a locomo-

ed back to their cottages in safety after
the dinner.

during the last four years has con
tributed both in quantity and value
considerably more than half the iron
ore produced and marketed in the
United States geological survey. In

of its great wealth in iron ores and of
their extended development, Minnesota
ranks ninth among all the states in
the total value Of its mineral produc-
ton. The value of the iron ore pro

pEnEsTRrANs AND PROTECTION.

VAT lLMINGTONlANS, particularly those who live I'M
w the northwestern section of city, cannot
fail appreciate the action of Former City Solicitor
George A. Elliott in going before the Seventh Ward
Civic Association and interesting it i'm the matter Of
sidewalks Pennsylvania avenue from Union street
to the city line certain other thoroughfares which
now without them which have them in broken
and unsatisfactory form. Mr. Elliott takes the ground
that the foot passengers upon those horoughares are
entitled to both the convenience and the safety which
would result from the proposed sidewalks. That is
especially true with respect to Pennsylvania
the Kennett road, in which automobile and other
vehicle traffic is heavy and the machines operate
at a much higher speed than they do in the
congested sections Of the city.
From Union street out TO the city limits It is neces-
because of the absence Of sidewalks pedes-
trians in Pennsylvania avenue to walk in the roadway
and to take their chances with automobiles and other
vehicles There portions Of Delaware avenue and
of Seventeenth street which also in need OF side
walk facilities for the safety and convenience foot
passengers who for purposes OF business or pleasure
have occasion walk that way Point made that
Gilpn is the only street leading the Highlands
that has suitable sidewalks and It is insisted by Mr..
Elliott that time should be lost by the city officials
in putting the other streets in proper shape in that
respect. The fact that the expense Of such an i'm
provement will fall upon the property affected and
not the city Is additional reason for
quick action.

There the flowers can never wither,
And the sun can never set
Oh the beauty of that city
Cannot be revealed as yet
There we walk beside life's river,
Gaze upon its placid flow;
Live with the redeemed made perfect
AS the moments come and go.
Yes, the Queen of Sheba said IT,
Said the half was never told;
We must reach it, just to know il,
That fair city pade of gold.
When we reach that gate OF Jaspeh,
Ask admission to come in;
Nothing you can give will buy it,
Only to be free from sin
IF you want to gain an entrance,
BE quite sure you're not too late;
Watch and pray and keep close to
Him,
You'll go sweeping through the gate
Then you'll be beyond the surges,
Where temptation cannot come;
What a restful contemplation
Just to think of reaching home.
Home-the very word is restful
Makes the wounded spirit whole
Mamma it is to the hungry,
Comfort to the tired Soul
Sometimes we grow homesick surely
surely,
AS we walk life's toilsome way;
Let us just keep looking ReaFenward
See the dawn of perfect day.
