RUNS A TERRAPiN FARM

A Georgia man has long had the dis
dnction Of running what he calls -

pin farmer raises many thousands of
diamond-backs which sell for good
prices, says the Manufacturers Rec
ord. What the diamond-back terra
pin commands today we do not know,
but the last price we heard quoted
was 500 dozen. The Chesapeake
bay was once the home of the dia-
mond-back terrapin, known through
out the land, but this industry, as
far as the Chesapeake bay is con-

the canvas-back duck. Not to be out

SANDERS NAME ON EN-
No Packages Accepted at
Postoffice Unless Sender
Has Full Name and Ad-
dress in Corner.

Recent orders Issued by the post
office department instruct all post
masters in the country that they
are not to accept for despatch any
packages not bearing the full
name and address of the sender.
This order is issued for the con
venience of the postal officials and
that they may guarantee either
delivery, or if the addressee cannot
be located, the return to the
sender.
During the rush season, which
has already begun to make its
effects felt at the local postofice,
it will be difficult for the employ
ees to make certain that each par
eel bears the name and address of
the sender. The aid of the mailers,
therefore, is earnestly solicited by
the postal authorities in this mat
ter. The majority Of mail dis
patched at the present time and
during the ordinary seasons bear
the return addresses as it has
proved an invaluable precaution in
many cases. During the Christmas
rush, however, mailing is done by
those who do very little shipping
during the year and they must ac-
quaint themselves with the var
ious rules and suggestions issued
in orders given the postal execu-
tives. Information concerning any
of these rules and suggestions will
be cheerfully given at the post
office.

CARNATIONS and Waltonians were
held on Wednesday in Rhinelander,

slider the advisability of passing
resolutions demanding that the

close the season on deer for two or
three years. 1t is the general
opinion of sportsmen throughout
upper Wisconsin that unless that
action is taken the deer will soon
be exterminated. The Oneida coun-
ty board has passed a resolution
requesting a three-year closed sea-
son and the county board of Tay-
lor county has passed a resolution
asking for a closed season for deer
in that county. Other northern
Wisconsin counties may take like
action.-Hurley Miner.

MUST FILE INSURANCE
Ex-Service Men Urged to
Make Claims for Adjusted
Compensation at Once.

Ex-service men are urged to
make claims at once for adjusted
compensation, in order that they
or their relatives may escape
trouble later.
Out of $4,000 deaths in the late
war, 10000 claims have been paid.
To date only about. two-thirds OF
the applications for adjusted COM
pensation have been filed. Aren't
these figures a challenge for the
American Legion?
To apply these figures locally,
who knows what the figures would
be? How many in the county are
entitled to death claims that are
yet unpaid? How many are en-
titled to insurance who haven't
applied for the same?
Does every ex-service man In the
county realize that if death should
cut him or her off before making
APPLICATION for adjusted compensa-
ton insurance, his dependents
would get only about one-third OF
what they would have been en-
titled to had he filled in his appli-
cation? To express it in dollars
and cents, filling in an application
for insurance may mean up to
$500 for ones dependents.

FINANCES OF CITY FLAT
Hurley Threatened BY State
if License Fees Due State
Are Not Paid.

Under date of November % the
state attorney generals depart
ment notified City Clerk John
Emunson of Hurley that the state
treasurer had instructed the de-
partment to institute proceedings
against the city Of Hurley for the
states portion of license fees paid
over to the city treasurer. How
ever, the letter stated that oppor-
tunity to make remittance would
be given before action is started.
Ten per cent of local soft drink
license fees goes to the state, ac-
cording to the statute covering
the matter. The fee in Hurley is
500. For every license issued $40
should go to the state. The city
has neglected to pay the states
portion, which now covers four
years and amounts to several
thousands of dollars. Hence the
threatened action by the state de-
partment.
With the city fiat as a pancake
in a financial way there is slim
chance of the state getting this
money for some time. No doubt
the reason for holding back the
states portion of license moneys
has been the city's Strengthened
financial condition in the last few
years. And the prospects for the
immediate future are not very
bright. The city is so far in debt
that all the tax money collected
for this year will not come any

Purchased Business.

Gus Conradson of Little Twin
lake east of Conover has pur-
chased the business operated by
Glen and VIM. Hunter for the past
year near Land O. Lakes. This
store was put in operation early
last year by the Hunters and was
located at the junction of old high
way 80 and highway 26, almost on
the Michigan-Wisconsin line. 1t
was favored stopping place for
tourists on their travels in and
out of Wisconsin and besides
stock of merchandise a gas and
oil station was operated. Mr.. Con-
radson owns several light house
keeping cottages on Twin lake and
expects to operate both businesses
this coming year. The store will
be closed until early traffic next
spring starts.
