came to be known as farm bureaus"
and 1t Is these farm bureaus, now or
ganized into state units and finally into
a national unit, that now forms the
American farm bureau federation, ana
provides the organized backing of the
farm bloc in congress. All this, of
course, has been a matter of some ten
years growth. In the course of time, 1t
became the practice IN many COM
nhnities to supplement the federal
governments part in the county agent
system with aid from the state gov
ernments, from local chambers OF
commerce, and the like
In its later stages or a national or
ganization. the local farm bureaus are
supported by voluntary dues paid by
the farmers. The functions of the farm
bureau came to include everything that
could be regarded as helpful to the
farmer In an economic sense. In var
ious parts of the country the local
farm bureaus manage grain elevators
and direct cooperation IN both the
business of selling their products and
buying their fertilizer. machinery and
other supplies
1t will be observed that this type
OF organization, with its roots resting
ultimately on the federal govern
ment's county agent system. and with
continuing interest In the farmers
daily business. distinguishes the
American farm bureau federation
from the political movements OF the
past, which had their origin and res-
son for existence merely in hysterical
political discomfort with temporary
conditions
Another feature that gives the
American farm bureau federation
promise OF success and perrnancnce
Is the quality Of its leadership. It
looks upon itself as primarily a bust
ness institution, and it practices busi-
ness methods. Some months ago 1t

that the salaries paid to its two agents

told that these amounts have been

they are very different from the type
OF political opportunists. or vision

started political movements among
the farmers largely IN the nature of
hysterical outbursts against oppres-
sive temporary conditions 1t flows
that tho nature of the laws, which
they have sought to have passed by
Congress are moro intelligible. md

panaccas sought by "Sockless' Jerry

This sympathetic support from
businessmen and public men who are
not farmers, and whose only interest
is the general public good, it is at
once a certificate of tho wholesome
sanity of the leadership of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation and

CITY SLOW IN ERECTION OF BOXES;

ted States ard that as result OF this
continuous policy more than seventy
per cent of all dwellings in city de
livery territory are now provided with
receptacles of some character. Con-
tinaing the letter said in part:
about $4,000 carriers are engaged
in the delivery Of mail. The number
of trips ranges from two to six, the
average being about three. The aver
age number of delivery stops on q
residential route is approximately
800. 1t is reasonable to assume that
each carrier will deliver mail to an
average of 200 stops daily and that
the use of mail receptacle will save
him a quarter of a minute at each
stOD. On this basis, tie value of the
additional service which may be rem
dered i'm the time saved IS estimated
nj S5.355,000. The use OF mail recep-
tacles in the delivery of mail is not
an experiment but experience has
shown that il is an advantage to the
natrons and actually effects saving
of the carriers time which IS disable
in extending service.
"The demand for receptacles has
been so great that manufacturers have

WAUSAU HOSPITAL
TO BE DISSOLVED
WORK WILL BE CONTINUED
BY WAUSAU MEMORIAL
ORGANIZATION

The directors of the Wausau Me-
mortal hospital have decided to take
over, on January LIST, 1928, the work
and operation of the Wausau hospi-
tai, which has been maintained, for
several years past by o. G. Lemke.
The Wausau Hospital corporation will
then be dissolved.
MIR. Lemke has very generously
agreed to give to the Wausau Memo
rial hospital the free use of the build
ing and equipment of the Wausau hos
pital, all of which is his property.
The work heretofore carried on by
the Wausau hospital will be contin-
ued at the present site until the build
ing of the Wausau Memorial hospital
is completed, when it will be trans
ferred to the same.
This arrangement not only provides
for the very useful and essential work
of caring for persons who prefer to
be patients of the Wausau hospital
but will result in the organization and
training or corps of nurses to be
ready for the new hospital when it is
opened.
In addition nurses training school
will be conducted by the committee
in charge of this hospital work. A
pamphlet setting forth the plan and
terms of this school will be furnished
to persons interested in the same on
application to DR.. r.. w. Jones, chair
man of the committee on training
school.
