Comfort Station REQUIRED.

A new law now in effect requires all
Wisconsin cities and villages to provide
public comfort stations. This is q
health measure, introduced by Assem-
blyman Carter at the request of the
state board of health, and supported by
the state council of defense women 8
division), the state federation of wo-
mems clubs, state federation of labor,
the state highway commission, and
hotel men.
Pursuant to the act, the state board
of health is formulating for cities and
villages an illustrated code of rules
governing the location of such stations
as to convenience and safety, and their
construction and care.
1t is now up to the city of Edgerton
to prepare for one of the comfort sta
tions. Only three or four cities in the
state have thus far complied

THE PASSING OF F. w. COON.
For Thirty Eight Years Editor of The
Reporter.

In the death of Frederic w. Coon his
home city and county and the state of
Wisconsin sustain no ordinary loss. His
death brings higher expression of
appreciation, deeper and better COM
prehension of his character, life and
work. The intimate influence of good
man, gentle man, a cultured man is
removed 1t was the daily life infiu-
ence of man of character, Of a good
friend and neighbor and of big, pub
lie spirited citizen. Such loss to any
community is not to be measured. 1t
can not be easily supplied or the place
filled. 1t was at 2:30 o'clock in the
afternoon of Friday July Is, 1919, that
he passed peacefully away. His all
ment was cancer of the stomach and it
was only six weeks from the time that
he lay aside the labors at the office until
he was called to his final rest. At all
times in those six weeks there was not
an hour or day but what he anticipated
regaining his health and returning to
his desk.

King Louis W at the Versailles
 Conference

guard of ten thousand men. The palace was the envy of every mon arch in Europe. The entertain ments were on a scale with every thing else. One does not wonder that Louis wished to return and what more fitting time and place than th, Conference of 1919.
 The Palace has witnessed many historic scenes, but never one so important as the one now being staged there. President Wilson, with his associates, representing the United States of America, George V of England, with his prime min ister by his side. The President of France, the King of Italy. Rul- CTS, or their representatives, from countless smaller nations are there. All feel the importance of the ter rible questions that must be settled. There is a silence in the room. Woodrow Wilson arises to speak, when slowly out of the shadows there evolves a figure clad in kingly garments wearing the robe, the crown and the signet ring. The figure becomes more distinct, all re- cognize it. It is Louis XIV, just as he might have stepped from any one oF the many gilded frames in the palace. Every man at the coun- cil table felt the presence and knew the figIre, yet none acknowledged to himself that it was there.

\ RIDICULOUS SITUATION

A local business man had oc- casion to send to Kansas City, Mis- souri, for three fountain pens of the particular kind he wished, which could not be obtained from our local dealers. He directedyery specifically, in the order to the firm to which he sent, that the pens be sent by FIRST CLASS MAIL to Anchorage, Alaska. The pens ar rived 4,n the last mail, coming thru the Wells Fargo Express company, with a letter through the post of flee from the firm stating that the Kansas City post office would not receive any first-class mal matter for Cook inlet, Alaska, after a giv- en date in the fall, until a given date in the spring following. The package containing the three foun- Cain pens weighed exactly three ounces. The express charges from Kansas City to Anchorage were SLY, include6 in which is the 5O-cent charge on the package from Seward to this town.
 This, of course, is a most eX- tortionate charge on such a small package. the value of which prob ably did not exceed $1O or SIP. But the point we wish to emphasize here is the fact that the Kansas City post office refused to accept the package as first-class mail, on the theory that no first-class mail matter reached Cook inlet points during the winter period. Candor compels the admission that so far this winter, We have had very un- satisfactory mail service, but never theless it is possible 10 get first-class mail matter through to us from Kansas City, Missouri, or any other remote part of the Unit ed States.-Anchorage Times.

NEVER TOO OLD TO ADVERTISE

There are now appearing in the newspapers and magazines 8 series of illustrated advertisements put out Dy a well-known mercantile house that was est" hlished in 1723. They deal with pnases of the company's s business which are not generally known to the purchasing public. showing the methods of collecting the raw material, the adventurous life Of its agents, episodes in re- mote lands, etc, all of which are in terestinS because they possess the charm Of novelty.
 Reference is made to the matter here not because such advertising Is new, which, of course, 1t is not, but because this long established institution, lacking only five years of being two centuries old, feels that 1t is well worth while to keep Its name constantly before the pub lie. New competitors are constant ly rising, and only by meeting changed conditions in the spirit of the day can the old-timer hold his own.
 This is a point which should not be lost upon any line of business. Age carries with it no great privi- lerge in trade, but must hustle to keep the place 1t has won.

.Nh ' v T, ,r- TWO LETTERS FROM WASHING.
 TON.

Two letters received on the last mail bv the chamber of commerce will Illustrate the workings of the present administration in washing ton, ... .
 One letter is from the treasury de pertinent to the effect that work cA the federal building in Cordoya prob7 ably will not be begun this year on account of the high cost of la Dor and material, while the second Is from the department of labor, askH ing that private and municipal con struction be carried on as extensive ly as possible in order to provide work TOT the returning soldiers.
 The inconsistency Of the two let ters immediately Is apparent. The federal government through its Urea sury department is preaching econ omy and withholding expenditures on account of high costs, while the same government, through the de partment of labor Is urging that pri Yate and municipal plans be carriea out as usual.
 It would a blessing if there was some head to this government who would take time to coordinate the different repartments and pre- vent them from working at cross purposes. a.
 If it is necessary that public works us carried on to provide em- ployment for the returning soldiers then the federal government should be the first to start such works. II on the other hand, materials "re so high as to make building at this time unprofitaDle, the federal gov ernment should not urge others to do that which it will not do itself. -CordoYa Herald.

HAVE ESCAPED INFLUENZA

Anchorage-By the enforcement of strict quarantine regulations, Nenaua and Fairbanks have escaped entirely from the Spanish influenza epidemic, which has afflicted other parts of Alaska, declared James No ble, conductor and DaviG J. Fair burn, timekeeper, on the Fairbanks Division of the Government Rail- road, who in eight travelling days made the trip from Nenana to An Chorage.
 Every person in Nenana and Fairbanks has to wear on the hat or the coat a piece of blue ribbon which is lettered with the words 'Health Department and which is issued oy the public health authori ties. To obtain this ribbon a fee of $1 is required, ard if the origi- lal riopon is lost, the fee for the duplicate ribbon is $2. Any person failing to obtain and wear rib bon is suject to arrest and .quaran- tine confinement. Civilian sentries guard the trails to Neuana and Fair banks. All persons going to either of these places are taken into GUS tody and detained five days in quarantine. If in that time no symptoms of influenza develop, they are permitted to enter the towns. There has not been a single case of influenza in either Nenana Or Fair banks. The fee for the ribbon goes toward paying the expenses of guard ing trails and Quarantining travel ers.-A. R. R.

stand firm for peace throughout ths world. We shall punish the Ger man War Lords who are responsible for all this trouble. We shall re- gain from Germany Alsace- Lorraine which they took from us." At this point Louis forgot his dignity and again interrupted the speaker ''Took Agace Lorraine from us,-Frapce made D give up territory"
 You have been dead a long time," replied the Frenchman, "In 1871 Germany forced war upon us and we were compelled to give up this territory and pay an enormous indemnity besides. We have never forgotten nor forgiven that wrong, neither has the world at large and now We get 1t back It is useless to attempt to explain things to you. You could not understand. h your day Might made right, but it is no longer true. The methods used at the Peace of Westphalia, the Peace # Utrecht and at the Congress- of Vienna are things Of the past. At this convention there will be no se-
 ret treaty. Nobody dare men tion in the hearing of MT. Woodrow Wilson the question Of Balance of Powers.' The rights of small nations must be guaranteed so that no greedy big nation shall ever again attack them. The people of Ques- tionaple territory shall be allowed to vote themselves as to whether they will have their own govern ment or live under another power. Everybody shall have the right to vote and in short all the principles of liberty guaranteed to the peo- pie of United States of America un- der their constitution shall be guar anteed to all the world"
 Louis listened attentively. Louis may not have been everything he shoulI have been but he never was stupid and he understood.
 q see," gasped Louis, "it Seems this world has changed since my day and there is no longer a place for kings like me. I can almost endure, it myself to think how the Cardinal will growl when he hears of this and low Napoleon will mist on coming pack to change it all. But TnGerstan, the world haS changed and the best place for kings and kais- CTS is not on the earth just now. We have had our day. The people will now have theirs and I hope they will use their power more wisely than we did,"

Louls KY did not like Paris as a residence. There were too many re- minders of former kings in that place to suit him. He determined tC build a new palace at Versailles a bout twelve miles distant.
 The place was naturally barren enR unattractive. Louis transform- ed it into a magnificent park by transplanting whole groves of trees to cover the naked sands, and by constructing immense water-work which supplied it with lakes, and fountains and beautiful running streams of clear water.
 Louis made of it a thing of beau ty and. well if might be for it cost twenty million dollars in money, and the lives of many peasants, It was twenty years in building, and the money was raised by ruthless taxation of the poor people for the nobles paid little taxes.
 The interior was as beautiful as the extenrtor. The endless success sion Cf galleries, corridors, and apartments were filled with statuary mirrors, paintings, tapestry and every thing which would add to it's beauty. Everywhere one was re minded of the king who built it.

The figure moved around the room with stately tread and finally walking up to the table began, "So this is my palace, built for me, a king. Here are a lot of common men, wearing neither robes nor crowns. sitting round my table and talking about Worlds Peace Alb dication of Emperors,' Rights of Small Nations,' Autonomy for Po- land,' Ye Gods, Ye Gods! In my day noDody wanted peace. Small na tions hsd no rights except as gave them. Emperors did not abdicate and Poland always was in trouble. I knew Frederick and Catherine had divided her up long ago." Con fronting the Statesman who was waiting for him to finish, he con tinued, "Who are you, and why are you here?" Holding his head high and showing no signs of fear or deference the man replied, ''I an the President of United states of America and I am here to rep resen+ that nation in this confer ence." "So 1t seems,' said Louis, but why the Conference?" The king Of EnglanG motioned to the man addressed to continue and in answer 10 Louis question Prseident Wilson told him how it all came about. Told him how Germany had forced Austria to pick the quarrel with Serbia, how Russia came in to it; why England had entered and, when he came to the story of his own lands entry into this quarrel that the world might be made safe for Democracy Louis coul6 keep silent 10 longer. "United States of America" gasped Louis, T sup pose that Is the country which grew up over there after the Battle Of Quebec and England did not keep what she took from France. I've had rumors from time to time of things that have happened but I never quite grasped the situation. Again he looked oyer the group. But an English King here, where's the French King?" From one of the group came the reply, France has been Republic for many years. When Germany began this worlds war, the first thing she did was to attempt to take Paris. She would have over run and crushed France but for the aid of England and U- nited states of America. In fact most Of the civilized world turned in to help us.

WE ARE HERE, LAFAYETTE

Mrs. A. J. MacConneu, who is on a visit 10 the east, contributes the following "OratioD in Four Words" to the Newark, x. J. News.
 Long years ago, in the stress of patriotic emotion, Patrick Henry cried: Give me liberty or give me death" Nathan Hale condemned 10 die. in his last moment Of life saiG, T regret that have but one life to give for my country" Unit ed We stand, divided We fall' are words which found and still find an echo in every true American heart. Likewise the inspiring clause terminating Lincoln's famous speech aI Gettysburg: "GOyernment of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth" Remarkable for the senti- ments contained, still more wonder fl for their breYity, these ia nous words are destined to live for ever, cherished and precious posses sions in the heart Of every defend- CT of our glorious flag.
 Now at a most vital time in the history of our great nation, rises an other hero, brave and true. A man even fine ought to be chosen as a leader Of our men, gallant Jack Per sning. In the midst of confusion, turmoil, and the conflict Of battle Over There, surrounded by scenes of devastation and utter desolalon. a time was set apart, in which it ". deemed fitting that the United States Of America should pay tribute at the grave Of Lafayette, our young and glorious ally of Revolutionary days, and beloved and unforgotten.
 General Pershing was asked to make the address for the momen- rous occasion. Surrounded by Un- cle Sans bravest and best, with the nobility of France nearby, Pershing holding a wreath of flowers, ap- preached the tomb, Though he struggled to hide his emotion, the Quiyering Of his chin and the marks Of tears on his strong bronzed face, were patent to all. He squared his military shoulders, and clearing his throat, while all about him waited in tense silence to hear what the great American General would say, he spoke four simple words: We are here, Lafayette," Had Pershing been the greatest Of orators, with every figure of speech at his command, what more could he have said? Surely the spirit Of Lafay- cite lowered near and the great soul understood to their fullest mean ing, those four pregnant words: We are here Lafayette" Had our general prepared an oratiOn of great length and taken hours to deliver it. he could not have added one single iota to that simple but tensely dramatic message from A merica to France. No doubt his words were destined to become i'm mortal as the greatest speech Of all times. For breYity, it Is, and probably always will remain, un- equalled. Evene Caesars ia nous T Came. I Saw.
