American goods are transported in
vessels carrying the Stars and Stripes.

pie, and use the utmost care in select
ing them. Above all, be an American

gradually worked up a circulating Ii
brary which was being literally pat
ronized by the readers in the commun-
ity.
Honorable James Dolan of Platte
vile, spoke on the subject Of Econ
omy in Government and gave several
illustrations to show easily money is
spent when it comes from the peoples
pockets. He spoke Of how ready Wis
cOnsin people were to be taxed espec-
tally when they felt the money would
be spent in a worthy manner
After a short business meeting the
