work Of the neighbors, who responded
to the call for ASST .tance. Mr.. Meisnest,

NEWSY NOTES ON LIFE IN THE COUNTRY
Correspondents Send Interesting Letters
of Doings in Village and Town
Busy Time on the Farm

Conditions are much more promising
for crops in the state, according to tht
weekly weather and crop bulletin ls
sued Tuesday which says: The genera
tone Of the reports received this wees
indicated that decidedly more hopeful
feeling prevails among the farmers than
at any previous time since the opening
of the season. There has been but little
rain during the week to interfere with
the progress Of farm work and the warm
weather. especially toward the close OF
the week has caused vegetation to come
forward rapidly. This increase in tenn
perature has been quite marked over
the entire State, except along the lake
shore, where the prevailing easterly
winds have influenced the temperature.
Winter whest and rye have continued
to make rapid growth. The plants are
strong, hardy and of good color, giving
every indication of healthy growth.
Oats and Barley: The warm weather
of the past few days has caused rapid
growth Of these crops and it is now evil
dent that much Of the early seedlings,
especially OH low, poorly drained land,
failed to terminate On high land the
stand is very good, but the continued
wet weather during April flooded much
of the low land, resulting in quite a
serious injury to a considerable portion
of the crop.
Corn. The week was very favorable
for the completion of preparation for
corn and this work is now well advanced.
Considerable planting was done during
the latter part Of the week, especially
In the southern counties. Taking the
State as a whole, probably one-fourth
of the acreage is planted. The soil IL
generally in good condition. On clay
land. however, there il some complaint
OF baking and working up lump
Potatoes: The ground for this crop is
generally prepared and considerable
planting has been done.
Grass and pastures: The week was
very favorable for the growth of grass
and the outlook for an abundant hay
crop is very promising. Pastures have
made rapid progress and stock has been
turned ont quite generally.
Fruit: Apple, cherry, pear plum and
peach trees are in full bloom Appar-
antly there was no seriods damage from
the cold weather except in exposed To-
calities. The present outlook is promis-
ing
Strawberries in some localities were
injured by the frosts but generally the
crop will be about average.
In Manitowoc county the correspon
dent, VIM. Morgan of Clarks Mills, re-
ports to the bureau; Weather fine for
farm work; ploughing for corn under

MORE GOOD THINGS
At THE ORPAEUM

Walter Sanford's next production to
be given by his company at the Or
pheum Theatre tonight and tomorrow
night will be Tempest Tossed a story
of life on the New England coast and
mans deceit, of a struggle between love
and revenge, relieved by the quaint
humor that bubbles up through the
daily lives of the natives of the sea
girt shores of Maine. Humor that
flows as naturally as water from
pure spring, a 1umor that rip
pies unconsciously over the most
pathetic incidents of their life, and
furnishes a pleasing alternate to the
more serious and dramatic parts of the
play The play opens at the home
of the Prestons on the beach, and the
third act shows a most realistic scene
of a wreck on the open sea, me-
chanical effect of great realism. Inc
patrons of the Orpheum Theatre are
promised an evening of thorough en-
joyment in witnessing this play. Ow-
ing to popular demand there will be
matinee next Saturday at which re-
served seats will sell for 20 cents.

New Zealand meats are famous the

of South America stock raisers and in

AMERICA TO HAVE
ABSOLUTE CONTROL
PANAMA CANAL TREATY SIGNED
AT WASHINGTON GIVES UNITED
STATES PERPETUAL CONTROL.

WASHINGTON. November lS-The
Hay Bunau-Narilla Isthmian Canal
treaty was signed this evening at the
residence Of Secretary Hay by the Sc
cretary and Philippe Bunau-Narilla,
the Minister of Panama. The .cere-
mony occurred i'm Secretary Hays
study. The Panama Minister arrived
at Mr. Hays house promptly at 6
o'clock, having made an appointment
with the Secretary for conference at
that hour He was surprised to find
that the Secretary had before him the
treaty engrossed in duplicate. The
Secretary informed NJ. Bunau-Varilla
that he was read yto sign the treaty.
The Minister read the document care
fully and then he and Secretary Hay
attached their signatures to it.
Hearty congratulations were ex-
changed and ii was agreed that the
news of the signing of the treaty
should be kept from the public for the
present. President Roosevelt was ad-
vised of the signing and NJ. Buna-u
Varilla sent a confidential cablegram
to his Government stating that the
treaty had been signed.
Although the treaty has not been
made public the Associated Press is
enabled to give the substance of the
document
II consists of between twenty-five
and twenty-five articles, but the main
points of the convention are contained
in the first six articles.
The keynote of the treaty is the pro-
vision in one of the very first articles
by which Panama cedes to the United
States whatever land or lands through
out the Republic of Panama this Gov
eminent shall find desirable in connec-
ton with the building or the operation
and maintenance of the canal. In ad-
uition the treaty gives to the United
States abundant sovereignty over the
canal strip, which, it is understood
comprises between eight and ten miles
on each side of the canal. Within this
zone the power of the United States is
