nual meeting Of the associations at
Wausau on July a and 5, 1918, at the
time of the annual meeting of the
rural carriers convention. If this
plan carries it will be the first time
in the history of the associations that
clerks, city carriers and rural carriers
have met in joint session. However,
the first two named had previously
met together.
At the annual meeting Of clerks and
carriers, held in Madison last summer
no definite place for holding the 1918
convention was named and it is more
than likely that the invitation of the
Wausau associations will be accepted

Making New Words.

We're going to help the dictionary makers with a couple of suggestions. Here are two words we have thunk up without the aid of mechanical appli- ances or paraphernalia whatever without even brains.
 Piscapalate-A taste for fish for fn- stance, the fellow has one who loves shad so much that he is willing to spend half an hour taking bones out of his teeth just so to eat one slab of fish.
 Strenuist-here is now "strenuity," :" therefore, why not strenuist, one who strens? The ystrenuist is one who gets up before any one else and starts in doing a lot of unnecessary things real hard, just to make dust fly. He bores you to death telling you about it, so he should be separated from the common herd.
 We'd like to have some more new words. If you've coined any, pass lem along, please. The language is ir danger and needs help !-Richmond Times-Dispatch.

BOLSHEvIKI
 SHOW PREFERENCE FOR GUEST ART

London, June 20.-The BoIshevih have adopted the cubist style of deco ration for Russian cities in celebrat- ing the revolutionary feast days. The whole city of Petrograd was decorat- ed in this bizarre fashion for the cele- bration of May Day. Thousands of cubist posters draped with revolution ary. red bunting ornamented the walls of palaces and government buildings. Describing the scene the Petrograd correspondent of the Morning Post writes:
 "Petrograd for May Day was turp- ed into a huge village fair. The am bilious plans for hiding under red dra- peries and hideous cubist canvasses all the visible symbols of those things that made the greatness of once great Russia were curtailed by shortage of red material, by inability to compel a sufficiency of skilled labor, or by the desire of everybody concerned to think first of personal opportunities and only secondarily of public objects.
 At any rate, the great palaces and monuments, the works of art of many generations, were neither hidden nor disguised, but merely disfigured. noted principally the disfigurement of the Winter Palace facade. Half a dozen billboards erected about the

One Quart of Milk.

Doctor Rosenow of Harvard univer- sity says that the actual food value of one quart of milk is equal to three quarter pound of beef, two pounds of chicken, eight eggs, or two pounds of codfsh. Each of these costs more, to say nothing of the time, labor and fuel required in preparation. A glass of milk costs only 3-4 cents in Corvallis today. The food value of that glass of milk is equal to two large eggs, or a large serving of lean meat, or two moderate-sized potatoes, or five table spoonfuIs of cooked cereal, or two ta- blespoonfuls of cooked rice, or two slices of bread. In other words, a meal consisting of one glass of milk and two slices of bread gives you as much food value as you would get out of four eggs.

Palace Square bore cubist and futur- ist angular daubs on a gigantic scale, each with a legend explaining what otherwise was certainly incomprehen- sible.
 "The great column of the Palace Square had evidently defied the at tacks, and only its pediment was par tially hidden by billboards covered with crude colors, having neither form nor substance.
 s"The procession did itself credit in several particulars. All the fighting arms were largely represented, and some of the sections, especially a cer- tain cavalry regiment and detach- ment of machine gunners, looked like I fighting material ready for work. The sailors were such as have always been in Petrograd. The infantrymen and artillerymen, particularly the latter. seemed to have undergone but little training. All the fighting forces on this occasion appeared with full equip ment and arms. Bands of worlxmen were interspersed between the fight ling arraF.

 May Day is, according to beliefs now widely promulgated by Lenine the day of the birth of the Russian Revolution. All things that happen ed before were merely anticipatory throes or abortive alarms, which the country is well rid of, and which are best forgotten"

NOVELIST HAD HIS REVENGE
Dumas Worked With Subtlety, but Was Satisfied That 1t Would Be
 Thoroughly Complete.

When Alexandre Dumas, the French novelist, was a young man, he was grievously insulted by man whom he had regarded as his friend.
 Everyone expected him to punish the offender severely, but instead he began looking upon him with more consider alton aud apparent friendliness than he had ever shown before.
 At length, three years later. when the erstwhile friend was to be married, the novelist was asked to serve as best man, and did so. When the ceremony was over and the guests were leaving someone remarked to Dumas: T have

often wondered at your kindness to this man. Surely yours is a remark ably forgiving nature, for although he insulted you grossly, you have assidu- ously studied his happiness ever since, and even assisted him in getting mar ried"
 Quite right!" answered Dumas. 'T flatter myself that I have given the fellow sthe most furious and lXpx-eyed mother-in-law to be found in France !"

Many Reasons Why Snapshoee os Familiar Spots Are Dearly PriZed

But suppose those splotches have been painted by sunlight shining through a camera lens, and form a picture of homestead, a familiar street or a mothers snowy hair, and face lined with the eloquent handwriting of the years-what would a soldier rather have from home than such souvenirs

 We must cling fast to all the pledges we hold against the enemy, and at the same time maintain in force the sub marine menace until all our economic demands are yielded.
 At the same time, necessary though it be to extend the German territory in Europe, the restoration of Turkey in her full former integrity is more important still for it is in those parts that Germany will build the bridge which will connect the Balkans, as we'll as T'Ekey and liberated Egypt, with the Hterior of Africa and with the great German Empire which must be created there.

That's Young 1855 Most
Painful Epithet.

For ut least two generations of
small boys the expression. niger
baby has been the epitome of hu-
initiation. At the swimming hole
our fathers tore blouses or pulled
buttons from shirts in an andcavor
to save themselves from the cha
grin of receiving the title which
was always his who was last one
ducked over" And within later
times there are few who have not
stretched young legs to the utmost
to win a race down the street for
the same reason. But the far
reachinEcffects of the war are be-
ginning to invade even the sacred
circle of the young boys life.
i. Yesterday four little fellows
were standing on one of the cor
ners of the business district OF the
city (they We're newsboys) when
happening OF more or less interest
to youngsters happened at cor
ner a block distant. A race was
inevitable. But instead Of say
ing last one there is a Niger
baby" there came the cry. "the
last one to the corner is a Ger

American an the next football
player"
