 Huntsville Mercury: Senator Under wood is making his first big fight in the Senate, and it happens to be against the big powder trust, one of the most powerful corporations in the country, in the interest of cheap fertilizer for the farmer and cheap powder for the gov ernment. And the whole country is talk ing notice of his effort. And yet at home there are men silly enough to suggest that Borden Burr could fill his shoes in the Senate simply because Burr is na- tion-wide prohibitionist.

LINES TO WILLIAM WING.


 LINES TO WILLIAM WING. A hopeful man was William Wing, Was much uplifted in the spring And cen at times was known to sing. Albeit slightly off the key, He yet made up in ecstasy All that he lacked in harmony. And they who watched him plod along, Though disconnected by his song, Felt sure, cen though his plans went
 wrong, He'd not despair For something seen Upon his countenance serene, Despite a life of dole and teen, Showed them the kind of man was he, Who strove. whatever ills might be, To turn defeat to victory

MARK TWAIN'S VERSE

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 A writer in Harper's Weekly speaks en- tertainingly of Mark Twain's habit of making notations on the margins of his nanuscripts. He would even write on other peoples books. For instance, the writer in Harper's gives this essay in verse scribbled on a fly leaf of w. Ham, ilton Gibsons Pastoral Days:
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-04-06

z Life every man holds dear; put t"e dear man
 Holds honour far more precious-de"r sn,, life. -TroiIus and Cresstda.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-04-06
De iadybug hab de golden wing, De firefly hab de flame, De bedbug doan hab noth'n tall, But he git dar just de same.

The point is that the writer Harper's falls into the error of assuming that Mark Twain was the author of this verse. Twain undoubtedly did not assume the author ship of the lines. The verse had it's origin in the imagination of some southern ne- gro. It is very old and is known to every child born in the south since the colonel knows when.

l On April l the postal savings system of the United States postoffice department
 was extended to Alaska, thus giving equal
 postal facilities to all territory under the
 flag. Approximately 600oOO depositors in
 the United States are now entrusting
 Uncle Sam with their savings and it is
 predicted that the residents of Alaska will
 gladly avail themselves of the opportun- ity to deposit their money with an insti-
 tuition backed by the government rather than privately owned banks, although
 This is expected to be true particularly emong the natives who are now learning
 their first lessons in industry, commerce and finance. The immigrant class in the United States was quick to realize the advantages and safety of the postal saw
 ings system and a large number of de-
 positors are foreign born. Although com
 mercial interest rates are higher in Alas
 l1a, the same regulations will apply to the postal saVlngS system that are III AoiSe III
 the United States. Depositors will be paid per cent interest and the money will be deposited in local banks which qualify to receive it. If, as in Porto Rico, no local banks care to qualify, the funds will be placed in the nearest government depos- itory, which will be equivalent to the United States treasury. The parcel post where trappers have found it q great help in carrying on their business, and it is l thought that the postal savings system will meet with equal favor.

RESOLUTIONS.

Be it Resolved by the Second
District Editorial Association, in
convention assembled at Red
wood Falls on August II, 1916.
That we extend our hearty
thanks to the editors of the Red
wood Gazette and Sun, the Com
mercial Club and the citizens in
general fol- their gracious hospi-
tality so generously extended
that we express our appreciation
Of the beautiful city of Redwood
Falls and it's magnificent scenic
environment;
That we commend the wisdom
and foresight of the state legis-
lature in making Ramsey Park a
state park and perpetuating it
as a beauty spot for present and
future generations to enjoy;
That we appreciate the efforts
Of the print paper committee of
the National Editorial associa-
ton and other associations in the
congressional inquiry as to the
seemingly unwarranted and un-
just increase in the price of
print paper to the great detri-
ment Of every publisher in the
land:
That we commend to the vot-
ers the adoption of amendment
No. l at the general election, No
vember 7, 1916, providing for a
revolving fund for the drainage
of state lands in Northern Min
nesota, making them available
for settlers and ultimately plas-
ing about 100000 acres on the
tax lists of the state;
That we recommend that
these resolutions be printed in
every paper of the district.
Respectfully submitted,
F. E. Hadley,
John L. King

The Second regiment won an
envious record when on last Fri
day sanitary Inspector of the

conditions. He claimed it to be
the best of any regiment in the
entire Brownsville district and

stantly reduced. Billy Arnett

only members Of the Company
to be kept in quarters for more

by order of the doctor. Over a
week ago Cliff Biggers was TAX
en- to the field hospital from the
regimental "pill and iodine" in
Urinary, suffering with an at
tack Of appendicitis. He has been
retained there since and it is
probable he will be taken to
Brownsville or San Antonio for
an operation, unless surgical
equipment arrives at the local
hospital soon.

Der of shots fired in the south

10000 PERSONS REGISTERED
AT ST. PETERSBURG

St Petersburg, March "a -Th.r-
teen thousand persons had registered
at the Board of Trade this season up
to a. m. yesterday, according to
figures furnished last night from the
board headquarters This registra-
ton far exceeds any previous year
and gives an idea of the number Of
tourists who have wintered here
The greater part of these persons
it is estimated, spent anywhere from
a week to the entire season hnrc
Thousands more have visited the oily
for few days or even the winter
who have failed to place their names
on the register, which makes it iin
possible to arrive at anything more
than an approximate total as to the
number of tourists entertained in the
city this season 1t is figured, now
ever, that the total is more than
10000
