SOME DESCRIPTION ON
THIS WISCONSIN LETTER
Albert Jacobaon writes . from Pratt
Junction, Wis., to the pbstmaster at
Omaha and modestly asks him to put
the mall machinery In operation to find
a mmi whose name he doesn't know. Al
bert gives these facts about the man: lie
has a ranch within two miles of Omaha;
he haa thirty-five or thirty-seven IIol
steln cows, he isn't quite sure Just which
number: he has two foremen and two
hired girls; as an additional aid in Iden
tification he gives the fact that the un
known Is going to bnlld a big barn this
fall. Albert's lisndsome "nerve" has Its
reward, for the postmaster has sent the
better out to the several rural routes that
go out from Greater Omaha substations.
"If a man answering the description is
around here, we'll bear of him," aald tha
postmaster.

Candy Men Kick On

subject of dlncusslnn. The "discussers"
ere considerably srltated. but declsred
that thev were In no (lsnger of going

It wss all the result of railroad rates
on peanuts, gains t which candy makers
of Omaha and other river points are pre
paring to protest. Pave O'Brien explained
that peanuts are aMpped In sarka at
third-class freight rates. Then the eandy
factories salt the peanuts, put them In
palls and ship them west to their cus
tomers. When the peanuts are repacked
In palls, the railroads charge .first class
freight rstes. although the candy men
insist thst third-class ratea should still
prevail.
