RECOMMEND THAT MAIL
BE CAREFULLY ADDRESSED

A new ruling of the postoffice de-
partment makes it necessary for the
sender of piece of mail to be more
careful in writing the address. In
the future it is recommended that all
states. be spelled out instead of alb
breviated. When that IS done there
will be no danger of sending Colorado
mail to California or vice versa on
account of the Col? and "Cal''. This
order has been issued with a view
of cutting down the amount of mail
that was landing in the dead letter
office. Thousands of letters are mis-
carried each and every year because
the sender is careless in addressing
the epistle.

Praise of Wisconsin

Mrs. Catherine Racket sends the
following poem of which she is the
authoress.
OF all the states in this great land,
With mines Of wealth untold
Give me dear Wisconsin, the Badger
State
With it's beauty still unrolled;
With boundless praises clothed in
green,
Her stately forests stand.
Beautiful rivers, with gushers and
Quivers
Go rushing DER the land.
Her placid lakes and streams
can see in my dreams,
OF sapphire blue, misty rainbows
make;
I love Wisconsin dear Wisconsin
Just for Wisconsin sake
Flowers of every conceivable hue,
OF RED and yellow white and blue,
Cover fields and fern, hill and glen
Gladdening the valley and plain.
In all this nation strong and great
You can not excel the badger state;
Her homes are blest with peace and
rest.
Thy sons and daughters brave and
fair,
Mrs. Catherine Racket.

Ansel N. Kellogg was born in Read
ing, Pa, March, 20, 1882, being the
youngest of six children. The members
of the family trace their genealogy
back to John Rogers, the martyr in
Queen Mary's time, in 1865. When An
sci was two years old the family NOV
ed to New York city, where the father
became wholesale and retail mer-
chant. Later retiring from business he
came to Baraboo, in 1855, and resided
with his sons, Chauncy and Albert,
to the time of his death in 1869.
Ansel early became a student at
Columbia college, from which he grad
uated in '52 at twenty years of age,
second in his class. On leaving col
lege he entered the office of Richard
Upjohn, noted architect, and passed
a year under his tutorship. Circum-
stances did not favor the adoption of
this profession; his tastes and ambi-
ton leaning toward journalism.
When about twenty-five years old
he came to Wisconsin, establishing
himself at Portage, where he worked
in printing office with J. G. Chand-
Ter, on a paper called the Northern
Republic, edited by Si1as and D. K.
Moves. That paper finally went the
way Of many other we'll meant efforts
and the material was moved to Bara.
, boo, in Jan. 1855, when the Baraboo
Republic was established. The names
at the head of the editorial column
changed rapidly during the summer OF
'55 and in September Mr.. Kellogg be-
came associated with Mr. Noyes as
contributing editor. In October Mr.
Kellogg and III. A. Perkins became
publishers Of the Republic, the office
being in the old courthouse at that
time. Later the office was moved
southeast Of the square probably al
the corner of Third and Oak street.
Mr.. Kellogg continued to edit the
Republic, until June, 1862. While edit
ing the Republic, Mr.. Kellogg invented
a Job printing press constructing
and using the first one ever put out
While editing the Republic he was
united in marriage with Miss Annie
Barnes, in 1859.

country newspapers suffered serious
embarrassment owing to the enlist
ment of their compositors and press

APPRECIATING VALUE OF A
DOLLAR

How many young people appreciate
the value of dollar? From their par
ents they are often able to obtain
money without effort and the dollars
20 without realization Of their true
value. This means a lot Of useless
spending, teaching them to be spend
thrifts instead of being thrifty. If the
demand becomes too great, the boy
or girl should learn to earn a few
dollars and in that way come to
know the value Of money. Above all,
youth should know the value Of a
dollar.

President Lincoln issued his call for
three year volunteers to sustain the
union, Joseph /. Werlich, then the
principal help in the composing room
of the Baraboo Republic answered to
the CALL Mr.. Kellogg came forward at
this time, and claimed for the Repub-
lie, the privilege Of equipping the vol
unteer, (Mr. Werlich with a Sharps
rifle.
After Mr.. Werlich went to service
it was impossible to get the weekly
issues of the Republic out on time and
the fertile mind of Mr. Kellogg con-
ceived the idea Of auxiliary printing.
He went to Madison and secured the
assistance of the State Journal, which
by printing one entire side Of the Re-
public, saved the day. The first aux
iliary print formed part of the issue
of the Republic, Of July 4, 81. Mr..
Kellogg perfected and exploited the
system which was known under the
verious names of patent insides" aux
iliary sheets" and "ready print" In
'65 he established himself in Chicago,
in the business of supplying country
journals with auxiliary sheets. Out of
the idea for which he secured a pat
ent, Mr.. Kellogg amassed a very
large fortune. At the time of the
great. Chicago fire in October III, his
whole printing equipment, together
with his office was destroyed Not
daunted, Mr.. Kellogg secured new
equipment and in four weeks, presses
were supplying the regular number of
journals.
Mr.. Kellogg was always kind and
considerate to his employees, looking
after them in time of illness or trouble
He was so greatly esteemed that they
only secured temporary work during
the time required to refit his print
ing office, that they might return to
his employment. Nearly all of the edi-
tors of country newspapers, who were
obliged to patroniZe his competitors
during the period of readjustment,
took the first opportunity to resume
business relations with him again.

disposition, lover of good music,

ical ability, having invented a system
of adding several columns Of figures
at the same time. He also invented a
revolving table to be used in dinner
service, thus enabling the hostess to
dispense with the services of a wait
er.
He possessed literary ability Of no
mean order, his first published work
being the genealogical tree of the Kel-
1ogg family. During the last three
years of his life, failing health oblig-
ed him to retire from active business.
He made several trips to Europe,
seeking relief from suffering. Receiv-
ing no benefit he returned to the
United States, passing away, at Thomp
sonville, Georgia, in 1887 at the age of
SIS, leaving wife and two daughters
He was laid to rest at Bedford, N. Z.
His widow placed an elegant mem
orial window in the Episcopal church
at that place, to commemorate his
affiIiation with that body.
Mr.. Kellogg left his vast fortune
to his wife during her life and after
ner death it was divided among rela-
tives, a generous portion coming to
the Kellogg family in Baraboo.

PARTIES. NOT MEN

Every Republican in the United
States should vote his ticket this fall.
There is no reason for a bolt, and an
Independent vote, which sometimes
accomplishes something, gets Re
publican nowhere. The issue is one of
parties, and not men.
Mr.. Cox and Mr. Harding are honest
men; to vote enthusiastically for eth
er it is necessary to think seriously
of the other! Cox in his unadvised at
tack upon the financial operations of
the Republicans showed that he was
too excitable, and that his hairtrigger
is dangerous. Probably Harding is
slow fire But it is not Cox and Hard
ing in this campaign. 1t is the Repub-
lican party against the Democratic
party.
Neither party is Gods perfect child.
Both have glazing faults. No one
should pretend that perfectly ideal
condition exists in either party, nor
one which satisfies the yearpings of
any normal heart attune to song of
the morning stars. Yet life's decisions
which always are made with quail
fications and restrictions, are, after
all made in the rough, and bulking
the matter largely 1T would seem wise
to advise Republicans to vote their
ticket this year.
For the danger of a Democratic ad-
ministration is menace to the Re
public. The Democratic party of old
has been the whisky party of the
Nation. A leopard cannot change his
spots over night. The big city vote

DON'T CHEER. BOYS

John F. Crosby, acting director of
the department of justice campaign to
lower the cost of living announces
that sugar dealers caught in the recent
price slump with large stocks on
hand are appealing to the department
to save them from loss. He adds that
the department has no remedy for
the situation.

It might almost indicate that the

immune from the ills which he i'm.

indicate that after all the law Of sup
ply and demand really means some

is Democratic. The Solid
South is negligible in public senti-
ment. 1t will sustain wet Demo
cratic administration, as well as dry
one. The big booze bosses and the
Solid South make it impossible to
reform the Democratic party. Only
the indomitable leadership Of Wilson
has kept the party to liberal policies
more or less. But Cox is not Wilson.
Cox is nat as smart as Wilson not
as strong. Under Cox Democracy will
slip back to it's natural tendency. The
Grass conservation OF the South and
the venality of the big city bosses will
make a situation in America which
will threaten the administration Of
laws however wise, and which will
make the laws enacted under a Demo-
cratic Congress weak and full Of blow
holes. To put the Democratic party in
charge Of this country for four more
years win be public crime.
The Republican party has it's faults
obvious faults. But it is amenable
to public sentiment. There is no great
body Of votes in any section which is
blindly Republican. We have no Solid
North to match the Solid South and If
the Harding administration begins
to grow reactionary, or If it is stupid
and blind an enlightened public senti-
ment can scare it into its senses, And
always the picture Of the tragedy OF
Taft hangs over the mantel in the
White House!
At least it is the w1sest course fol
Republicans to trust the Republican
party. A Republican vote tor Oebs u

why a Republican should desert his

PLAN TRAP FOR HAIR
SEAL, ENEMY TO SALMON

Besides being the greatest enemy to-
salmon In the great Canadian fisheries
in the Fraser river and Gulf of Geor-
gia, the hair seal is a clever beast.
And that is why the Canadian gov
eminent Is planning a strategic coup
to bring to a climax it's long war Of
determination against the destroyers-
And because the tricky seals have out
witted the fisheries agents on other
occasions, the government is not
going to let the seals hear an inkling
Of the plan until it is all ready for
pulling it.
For years these seals have defied
all efforts at their extinction. When
the tide is out thousands of them may
be seen summing themselves on the
sand near the railroad terminals there.
They raid the nets of the fishermen,
rob them of their fish and tear great
holes in the nets through which the
imprisoned salmon escape. They
even trail in the wake of the fishing
boats and steal the fish right off the
lines
The government began by offering
bounty for their tails. But as getting
the bounty meant getting the tails first
the plan was a fiasco, for riflemen
could not get within range of the seals
before they scampered away Merit the
government tried explosives. 1t planted
dynamite under the sand and wher
the seals had come out to enjoy the
sun the agents would touch off the
explosive with electricity. The jolt
merely threw the animals far out into
the sea, and it was not long before
they came back to enjoy the sport
some more.
Now the government believes it has
the idea that will turn the trick. 1t
will stretch across the salmon peers
long lines hung closely with short
ropes to the ends of which will be
fastened great hooks of barbed steel.
When the seals plung through the
netlike barrier in pursuit of salmon
dinner, it is believed they will impale
themselves on the spars.
A few fishermen believe the seals
will see through the trick and refuse
to take the fatal plunge. The seal,
they maintain, is smart animal.
