RN
 has been reported that a number have refused to sell to fresh fish buyers, and said that it was impera- tive that the fresh fish buyers re- ceive their share of the business, the same as formerly.
 MT. Gunnison said that any organ ized attempt to interfere with the supply of fish would result in some one having to explain several mat ters to the Government, and that the fishermen of Alaska are as much a part of the machinery for winning the present war as are the soldiers on the firing line.

KNOW WHERE YOUR AT?
THAT'S A QUERY INDUCED IN
BY MANY
Loss of One Rural Route Disarranges
Things and Discommodes Many
Mail Patrons

We're bewildered by the unwarran-
ted loss OF a rural mail route extend
ing out from Viroqua.
Route No. IS eliminated. Patrons
on the Same are supplied by carriers
from Westby, LaFaFge and routes ]
and 6. Niroqua. Route makes a lock
pouch exchange with Viola carrier. 4
lot OF patrons on old route 3 are sup
piled from Readstown. Route l now
takes in part OF s. and Westbv sup
plies a part Of route l. Route 8 is now
route l. There are some Changes on
routes ,, 4, 5 and 8.
This route elimination seriously dis
arranges mail facilities and it viii DE
some time before adjustments are I'M
derstood. There are many absardities
in the cew scheme, concerning which
We are just now too warm TO write.
One of them: Patrons within four
miles of NiroQua are compelled TO take
their mail from Readstown. There
are many others as preposterous.
But postoffice Inspector thinks he
he is out for economy. He knows
nothing of the topography of the ter
ritory or the need of residents. From
a map he dashes off mail routes as
handily as a professional politician
prattles about his love for the dear
people and his detestation for the
''profteers" with horns. And there
you have it.
Economy, such Inspector seems to
think, consists in adding two worth
less routes in the city of Viroqua,
which nobody asked for nor wanted,
and looping off an Important raral
route which patrons do want and are
in need of

EIGHT-DAY ECONOMY SALE
LA CROSSE MERCHANTS STAG
ING BIG EVENTS
August 23rd to 3lst They are Making
Preparations for Special Cooper
alton Bargaining-They In
vite You

The merchants of Lacrosse, EN-
bracing every retail line represented
in the stores of that city, are cooper
ating in a great EIGHT-DAY ECON
OMY SALE. The event will open on
CIRCUS DAY.. Friday, August %,
and continue through Saturday, Au-
gust 81
There are numerous reasons why
genuine economy, in whatever diree-
tion it may be exercised, at the pres
ent time, is particularly inviting to
the buying public People are feeling
the advance in prices of all merchan-
disc, and today every indication points
to higher prices in the near future.
Consequently there can be no question
as to the wisdom of consumers buying
in quantity, right now, as many and
as much as he on she can afford to buy,
of the necessities other than food
Merchandise win be needed in 0c-
tober and November that may not be
procurable at that time. There is no
surety that stocks now on hand, once
depleted, can be replenished within
reasonable time.
Approaching the fact that buyers
will be quick to take advantage of the
situation thus presented, LACROSSE
merchants are making ready for a
large crowd during the EIGHT DAY
ECONOMY SALE.
Special moving picture attractions
will be put on by Lacrosse theatres.
With the expectation that people
will want to spend two, three or four
days in Lacrosse, the hotels and res
taurs nts Of that city are planning to
care for greatly increased business.
Lacrosse merchants cordially invite
the people OF the trade territory which
centers in that city to come to La
Crosse during the EIGHT DAY
ECONOMY SALE and supply the
needs ofthe coming winter while those
needs can be satisfied at prices which
they may not obtain two, three or six
months later.

SOMETHING DOING FOR FAIR
Premium Lists Being Distributed
War Pictures for Night Fair

Only four weeks till the great event
of the year occurs-the annual county
fair-when country and town folk will
come together for reunion and to ex-
hibit their crops, stock and hardware.
September 18th to goth are the dates.
Secretary Moen is now busy distri-
buting premium lists. Those who
have not received them by mail or
otherwise viii be furnished by calling
at his office. He is arranging with
the National Council of Defense for
the war pictures to be shown on the
fair grounds during two or perhaps
three evenings during the fair. The
idea is to give the public and especial
~ those who have sons, relatives aad
friends inthe service glimpYes of train
ing camps, camp life and conditions
at the national army encampments in
this country and in France. Many of
the big fairs are arranging for these
same pictures. II is hoped this year
to provide an unusually attractive
midway" for the fair. The fact that
fewer fairs will be held will, it is
thought, enable our association to
more easily secure first class shows

arst aid and the young man was TAX

hour after reaching there. He was
a member of the bridge crew and we'll
liked by all who knew him and no
reason can be assigned for the act
unless the great heat Of the day caus-
ed temporary insanity as he had work
ed all the forenoon.
