Breeds Shipping Habit.

When the parcel post was inaugu-
rated one of the old express companies
liquated and went out of business.
Nearly all the companies gave indi-
cations of distress. But their recent
financial reports indicate that the par
eel post has bred the shipping habit
among people of the United States,
and the result has been that the ex-
press companies have been getting
their full share Of business. Parcel
post rates have been ridiculously low
in many instances, but on long hauls
where the greatest profit results, the
government rates have been so high
that the business has gone largely to
the express companies. OF course, no
one would ever suspect that the ex-
press people had anything to do with
creating such condition-it would
be very unkind to suggest the
thought! However, sthe natural thing
has happened in that the express
companies have received their full
share of the increased business. They
are again able to poke up their heads
and enjoy the benefits of new lease
of life And the American public is
inclined to watch them, lest they mis-
behave as they have in the past.

The kaiser's Regret.

One of the most prominent Germans
in America, who has not the temerity
to publish his own information, re-
Gently told the correspondent of this
paper, that while he was in Germany
two or three months ago, he had the
opportunity to talk with some of the
leading officials of the Empire. One
of them told him of the sentiment of
the Kaiser The latter is reported to
have said that he did not care very
much about the opinion of the United
States with reference to the war, but
he expressed himself as deeply hurt
because of the attitude and public ut
terances of Colonel Roosevelt. As
one is invariably misunderstood when
talking about the Germans, the reader
is left to draw his own deductions with
reference to the Kaiser's viewpoint.

SCHEMPF'S EMPLOYEES PICNIC,
Score Book of Ball Game Lost and the
Result is Unknown.

All of the employees of Schempf's
department store who attended the
annual picnic at Riverview park on
Thursday evening went off saying that
no reports to deceive regarding the
time at the picnic were issued.
Immediately upon arriving on a
large motor truck that had been offer
ed by the Watertown Wholesale Gro
Gerry company, a ball game between
the men and ladies of the store was
started. According to rumors it was
some game, the only disappointing
part being, that during the game the
score book was lost and so the results
Of the game are unknown Before
the evening was over many other
kinds of entertainments were trotted
out and all enjoyed them
The best part of the evening was
at the supper that had been arranged
Everyone voted this a huge success.

them the everlasting gratitude of every
vehicle driver throughout the state.
A new system of making roads has
been adopted The basis of the sys-
tenn is the main Travelled roads or
trunk lines. To complete the main
outline and then fill in the details of
local roads and branches is the best
plan.
The plan is a good one It is like
building the frame for a house and
then filling it with rooms, closets,
ETC., and all the rest that go to make
a house
The county system should also be
praised. The roads of one county
should be finished first and then work
started in another county. Any other
plan means patchwork and bad spots
and will surely entail needless ex-
pense.
Frank Cannon, the new secretary of
the organization will proceed on such
lines in the improvements of roads.
Especially is he going to work hard
for legislative aid where it will do
most good in construction of the main
arteries which serve the whole state
and with which local tributaries may
be easily linked into a system that
will give our state the reputation
that it needs on the subject of good
roads To quote part of an old rhyme
some of the roads in the state may be
compared thusly:
The roads were impossible,
Not even jackassabIe.
Mr.. Cannon said when announcing
his plans, I'VE intend to improve the
roads as Milwaukee county has done.
In 1911 Milwaukee laid out its county
system and has been living up to it
ever since"
No sensible community that has en-
joyed the value of good roads will care
to go back to bad ones; for lad roads
is sign of a backward AMI listless
community.

may lead to neurasthenia and even

A Farewell Party

On Wednesday evening Mrs. Fred

number of friends, rendered farewell
party in the Masonic hall to Mrs. Ed.
Tholin. The program of the evening
was card playing, the honors for the
ladies being carried off by Mrs. VIM.
Mcintosh and for the gentlemen by
DR.. Hoxsey. At midnight delicious
lunch was served. when the floor was
cleared and the early hours of the
morning spent in dancing. All those
present expressed themselves as hav-
ing had a most enjoyable time. In
wishing Mrs. Tholin all the good things
in life we cannot better express our
selves than by using the words of the
old Scotch refrain, will ye no come
back again."

Mrs. [. J. Nelson for SthOOl Director

The election of school director TO
succeed S. c. Woldenburg on the
school board will take place Saturday
at the old school building. The polls
will be open from l to 8 o'clock p. m.
Registration will be unnecessary.
Mrs. Nelson, who had served on the
board six years up to a year ago, when
she retired, has been prevailed upon to
again serve. Her former work on the
board was so satisfactory that in re-
Spouse TO numerous requests she con-
sented to allow the use of her name.
Service on the school board is purely a
bit of courtesy on the part Of anyone
who accepts the position. The Office
takes much Of ones time and calls for
considerable work. Mrs. Nelson S
work on the board is highly appre-
ciated and she will likely have no OPP
position.

Pass the Apples Round Again

When every pool in Eden was a mirror,
That unto Eve her fairest charms pro
claimed,
She went undraped. without single fear, or
Thought, that she had need to be ashamed.
Twas only when she'd eaten of the apple
That she then and there inclined to be a
prude,
And found that evermore she'd have to
grapple
With the much-debated question Of the
nude.
Thereafter she devoted her attention,
Her time, her thought and money to her
clothes.
And that was the beginning OF Convention,
And Modesty, as we'll we may suppose.
Reactions came about in fashions recent,
Now girls conceal so little from the men,
1t would seem, in the name of all that S
decent,
Some one ought to pass the apples round
again.
