MEETING ENDS IN
MILWAUKEE, CITY
State Assistant PostmaSterS'
Association Adiourns.
WANT INCREASE IN SALARIES
Thomas NJ. Leslie of Racine Is Chosen
President at the Final Session
Next Gathering Place
Not Selected.


Madison.-The Wisconsin Assistant
Postmasters' association adjourned its
sessions at Milwaukee, leaving the
mooted question Of a next place for
annual meeting to the tender care of
the executive committee. While Mil
waukee. Waukesha and Watertown all
extended invitations, the convention
was in some doubt as to where to
meet
Perhaps the most important matter
before the final session was the set OF
resolutions read by Thomas NJ. Leslie
OF Racine, chairman of the committee,
each article being adopted by the con-
vention separately.
Resolutions urging the increasing OF
salaries Of assistant postmasters from
90 per cent of the salary received by
postmasters to 60 per cent Of such
salary were adopted, it being contend
ed that the duties and responsibilities
OF assistants have been increased
since the enactment of the law in 1879.
Petitions will be forwarded to Post
master General A. S. Burleson asking
for his support to such a measure.
Expressions of gratitude were ex-
tended to President Wilson, Postmas-
ter General Burleson and other Off
Gals of the post office department com
plimenting their support In sustaining
the civil service status and for express
sions of confidence In the efficiency OF
the workers in the postal service from
time TO time
The convention went on record In
favoring the combining of third and
fourth-Class matter under one head ex-
cept circulars, in letter form and cata-
logues up to a limit OF sixteen ounces.
That the difference in rates between
third and fourth-class mail does not
seem justihable, in view of the fact
that both classes are handled in the
same manner and at the same ex-
pense to the government, was stated
before the Wednesday morning SEES
sion OF the sixth annual convention OF

Postmasters, by A. r. Mill OF South

Forest to think it over and wonder
how Old Man Coyote ever succeeded
in getting out.
Now, if it had been any n but Old
Man Coyote he would certainly have
been caught. Even Granny Fox,

stepped into one Of those traps had
she been in his place. But Old Man
Coyote is one of the smartest and
craftiest of all the little people who

and just how they are set. When he
heard Farmer Browns Boy at work
outside his house he guessed right
away what he was doing. He heard
him first at one Of the three door,
ways, then at another, and finally at
the third. Old Man Coyote grinned.
He's setting traps as sure as mead

HE thinks hat because he has put a
trap in each doorway I can't get out
without getting caught. One Of the
when I was a little cub was the IAN

I am afraid that some one is going to
be dreadfully disappointed. I believe
I'll take a nap now and attend to
those traps later"

ready to go out Old Man Coyote very
