Soldiers May Vote by Mail.

Secretary of State Merlin Hull
will make every effort TO get as large
primary vote as possible from
Wisconsin soldiers now in the can
tonments.
Several states have asked that
their soldiers be permitted to go
home on three day furlough to
vote in the primary but, according
to Adjutant General Holway, it is
likely only a small number could
get furloughs at that time.
Under the absent voting law in
Wisconsin, no provision was made
for taking the votes of soldiers at
the primary, but they could vote by
mail by writing to their city or
county clerks for ballots in advance.
Secretary of State Hull is now
planning to take the matter up with
the commandment in each canton
ment where Wisconsin soldiers are
quartered to have the men told of
their right to vote by mail and to
encourage them to do so.
Nearly 100, 900 voters of Wiscon-
sin now are in military or naval
service and more than half of them
already in France.

Hanousek After Big Game.

Last Saturday John Hanousek
one of the richest men in Northern
Wisconsin, living, at Amigo but
formerly of Wakefield, left on a
hunting trip to Alaska for big
game The barty Of which he is a
member left Seattle for an Alaskan
port where they will be met by
native guides who will have pack
horses, food and equipment ready.
1t will then require about a week
toreach the hunting grounds. Mr..
Hanousek is an ardent sportsman
and is the possessor of many valu-
able trophies of the chase. He has
hunted in nearly every part Of the
United States.
Hanousek few years ago was
one of many on the Gogtbic range
who had small piece of land and
worked in the mines. His piece of
land, however, happened to be the
spot where the biggest open pit
mine on the GogebiC range is now
located He gets royalty on
every ton of ore taken out and the
big steam shovels take it ont by
thousands of tons each week, so
Mr.. Hanousek is rated as one of
the wealthiest men on the Gogebic
range.
He has a home at Amigo, and
last year the citizens OF that
city were trying to raise money
for an armory- Mr.. Hanousek
heard of it and with no splurge,
purchased the armory himself and
turned it over to the city of Amigo.

BULGARIA A RICE COUNTRY.

Bulgaria possesses admirable ad-
vantages for rice growing on an ex-
tensiye scale, climate and soil both
being favorable, especially along the
Martha river and the marshy banks
Of the Struma and the Vardar. Rou-
mania is too far north and Serbia too
rugged to permit of rice culture, but
in southern Bulgaria and Macedonia
are found many plains along the
rivers well adapted for great plan
tations. The hilly country in north
ern Bulgaria, where many small riy-
ers take their course to the Danube,
is favorable for rice growing, al
though theee are no extensive plains
in that region.
Formerly there were rice fields in
the neighborhood OF Vratza and Fer
dinand, but these have been turned
into groves of mulberry trees for the
rearing of silkworms. About the
town Of Kustendil the rice fields
have given place almost entirely to
fruit orchards, and the same is true
Of Dupnitza.

EMPLOYERS AND GRAY HAIRS.

Men past middle age have demon.
strated THAI they have not finished
their usefulness, according to the first
annual report of the employment bu-
reau Of the Employers association Of
Chicago. During 1917, the first year Of
its existence, this bureau obtained pc
sltions without charge. for 9,i90 r'en
who were past fOrty-five. The aggre-
gate salary paid to the men during the
year amounts to more than $2,000,000.
The bureau is visited daily by more
than one thousand men above middle
age who are in search Of employment.
Ninety per cent of the men sent out to
ill positions during the last month
have been employed at salaries ranging
from $40 to $3.50 per month. eve
have been employed at salaries ranging
the age of discretion" said Victor T.
]. Cannon, manager of the bureau.
"Our work has been so successful that
1t Is now taking on national scope. En-
ployers throughout the country have
become interested I'm 1t and are begin
ming 10 realize that II is a civic econ
Omy to make old men self-supporting."

The more we think of humanity as
brotherhood the more clearly we must
see that each member owes a duty to
ALL and duty to the great family.
There Is no surer way to stunt self
realization than to fail to perform that
duty. OF all the safeguards Of moral
ity and clean living few are stronger
than convention. There is therefore
good deal to be said for conventional
ity, not as mere fashion In the petty
sense, but as q social force. There Is
nothing necessarily dun or stupid
about 1t. says Indianapolis News. AL ;ts
best It Is simply the disqualification Of
The experience of the race, and there
fore Is something not to be lightly
regarded. The question, after all, is,
not whether there shall he conventions.
but what the conventions shall be. For
some sort we must have.

STEEL TUBE is UNBREAKARLE
So constructec That Even Dynamite
Has No Effect on 1t, as Tests
Have Proved.

Steel tubes are now being made
SO tough that dynamite will not
break them. A writer il Railway
and Locomotive Engineering cites
some instances in which this has
been proved recently.
He tells of an 18-foot length of
5 3-16 inch steel casing that was
stuck in an oil we'll and no quarts
Of nitroglycerin were shot off in the
we'll to blow out the pipe and at the
same time to ''shoot" the well. The
explosion did not bulge the pipe,
however, but reduced it to about six
feet in length, making it crump, but
not even cracking it.
In an Oklahoma oil field a string
Of $40 feet of ten-inch oil-well cas-
ing fell 236 feet to the bottom of a
well. The casing was not broken by
the shock, although the thread pro-
tector was forced over the threads
about twelve or thirteen inches and
the bottom of the pipe was bent
backward and inward.
In similar case $4,000 pounds
Of pipe fell 200 feet and the impact
telescoped the three lower sections,
one inside and one outside, but no
weld failed, 2oT was there crack
in any one Of the pieces of pipe.
