WISCONSIN'S
ORIGINAL R. F. i.

A century or so ago, when Wiscon-
sin was the home of the Indian and the
FUR trader, but few letters were writ
ten or delivered. When the officers at
Fort Howard or Fort Crawford want
ed to forward mail to the outside
world, they clubed together and paid
a carrier to the nearest postofice,
which was Chicago for the former and
Galena for the latter place. Even af-
ter government post office was esta-
blished at Green Bay, the contractor
had to hire a woodsman during the
winter season to carry the mail upon
his back over the frozen trails to and
from Chicago The postman's life was
not an easy one. The round trim be-
tween Green Bay and Chicago took
him month. He employed an Indian
guide to accompany him, and between
them they carried the mail, WEIGHING
usually about sixty pounds, two bags
Of hulled and ground corn for pro-
visions IN case no Indian camps were
encountered enroute, a roll of blankets
to form nights lodging on the soft
side of log, and rifles and ammuni-
ton to keep off wolves and bears and
furnish rations of wild game if other
resources failed. Each night they
camped where darkness overlook them.
The trail ran from the Fox to the
Manitowoc River, thence to Sank Riv-
er and Milwaukee, from there to
Skunk Grove, Groose Point, and to
Chicago. The only white settlers en-
countered were the traders at Milwau-
kee and at Ouilmette's cabin at Groose
Point.

GIVE CANNING
AFFAIR TRIAL.

Washington, D. c., July 3.-"Don't
Judge the success of canning by your
first effort with whatever product you
happen to find in market, when you be-
gin operations" says a statement lust
issued by the United States DEPART
nent Of Agriculture. at is more than
likely that if you are a beginner at
canning you will start with strawber-
ries, the first fruit available. If Won
should realize that strawberries are
one Of the most difficult of all pro-
ducts to can satisfactorily. 1t is next
to impossible, in fact, to can this fruit
as distinguished from preserving it
Tin which case a much larger proper
ton of sugar is used, so that it's color
size, and texture will be preserved.
1T is normal, if ordinary canning
practices are followed, to have straw
berries shrink, turn more or less
brown, and float to the tops of the jars.
The product is palatable, however, and
will keep perfectly if the sterilization
has been done properly
Don't feel, therefore, that your
strawberry canning is a failure. A
bove all, don't become discouraged and
fear that all your canning will be I'M
satisfactory. Practically every vege-
table and fruit worth canning may be
canned and kept in a condition fairly
comparable in flavor and texture to the
fresh product
Canned food will be needed next
winter as it has never been needed be-
fore. Let your slogan be, therefore:
Can all the food you can; dry the sue
culent foods which can not be kept well
otherwise
'In canning, specialize on nutritious
foods and concentrate to small bulk
by cooking down all vegetables high
in water content"

TORAISE ONE
million

The Order of Knights of Columbus
in this city have received instructions
from the National Association asking
them to raise what they can during
the week commencing July 22nd next.
We understand that the local commit
tee is taking steps to formulate cam
paign to raise a certain amount of
money to help in this cause. AS we
understand it this fund will be used
not only in the Knights of Columbus
relief work in foreign fields, but it will
be used also to help the Catholic mem
bership in the army. It will be used
wherever they can do the most good
with it. A large number of Knights
of Columbus have enlisted in the army
and more will probably do so. This
fund will be used to give them special
care and attention.

A Home Recipe For
 Removing Wrinkles

Who will blame the modern woman for trying to look as Young and at tractive as she reasonably can? Why should she be placed at disadvan tage in numerous ways by wearing wrinkles. if She can avoid these hate full marks of advancing age? Few women, however, know what to do to effcctually rid themselves of wrinkles or sagginess. Most of the advertised preparations are unsatisfactory and very expensive. But a very simple and harmless home remcoy, which any woman can make, wifi work won ders where all the patent prepara- tions fail. 7t.'.'''z.=
 Buy an ounce of powdered saxolte at any drug store. Dissolve the whole ounce in pint of witchhazel and use as a wash lotion. The results arc practically instantaneous. Marked improvement will be notived immedi- ately after the very first trial. Wrinkles and sagging are corrected and the face feels so refreshed and smuglike. Advt.

Matter of discharge turns upon the question of dependency, which must he established in accordance with sub division Fl of second twenty, Rules and Regulations prescribed by the president. form 13, as stated in letter of president, incorporated in my tele- gram number forty twenty. Para graph R of forty twenty had refer ence to clses where the person call cd was himself dependent upon some one else for his support. in which event the wife or other dependent could not truthfully make an affda- vif of being dependent upon the labor of the person called. In all cases the inquiry is directed toward ascertain ing whether or not any person with in the classes mentioned in subdivi- sion II of section twenty is in fact dependent upon the labor of the per- son called within the meaning of the rules and regulations. Tie fact that some relative is able to support is not to be considered unless accom- panied by actual proof that he is in fact willing to support. in which event the dependent person is no longer de- pendent upoE the person called and therefore cannot truthfullv sign the af- f.davit required"

Don't Buy a ''Gyp" Tire
An Editorial On Automobile Tires From the New York
 Evening Journal

| worth buying.
 Every tire that is worth while has it's reputation, it's name, IT IS KNOWN.
 i The man using his eloquence to per- better bargain than a real tire is simply using his eloquencc to cheat you. If you doubt this, listen to the experience of this writer: One of his friends is manager of a great concern that sells automobile bargains. This friend showed the writer thousands of tires, all of diff ferent kinds, or rather INDIFFER- ENT kinds. They were piled up ready to he sold. All nameless.
 Extraordinarily low prices were quoted. This writer said to his friend, If those prices are really as low as you say, let me know which is the best of these bargain tires. so that I can get them instead of the more expensive tires that I buy.
 'No," said the dealer in "gyp" tires. YOU don't want any of this stuff. You wouldn't get satisfaction. Continue buying what you have been buying, one of the well-known makes. Nothing else will suit you" MT. Reader, buyer of tires, nothing in the way of "gyp" tire would suit YOU, either.
 You wouldn't buy solid gold ring of an unknown peddler if you had no way of testing the gold. You would be suspicious of the man who offered you solid gold for less than the price of solid gold. Be suspicious of the tire man who offers you solid rubber. high class workmanship in fabric, for less than the natural price of solid rubber and cost of high-class workmanship. One absolute essential of good tire is PRODUCTION ON A HUGE l SCALE.
 Only the great tire houses have such production. None other can ] produce your moneys worth. Re- member that. Buy no "gyp" horse or "gyp' tire.
