veled for three weeks through
the remaining counties of the
association. At each point
committees and citizens
brought their exhibits to- the
car and helped to install them.
The work ended last week at
Crandon. in Forest county,
and then "Grassland" came
here to the Wisconsin Cen
trail shops for repairs, having
been absent Two years. The
car is loaned to the associa-
ton by the Wisconsin Central.
Since 1904 until this fall, the
Central and all the other rail
ways of the west, recognizing
the great work Grassland" is
doing for north WISCONSIN and
directly for the railway S, have
hauled the car free. Now. under
the railways Interpretation Of
the law. regular tariff rates are
charged. This means a large
burden that was not cOntem pIa-
ted at the annual meeting. of the
association, last spring, when
the financial budget for 1906 Z
was agreed upon. Sc Rotary II.
S. Fairall, who is in charge of
the car and has been with the as
soclatlOn since its birth, mailed
Monday, to the members of the
boards of supervisors in the
association counties, an appeal
for assistance. This document
was prepared under the direc,
ton of the board of directors Of
the association, the executive
body of the society, comprising
two of the leading citizens of
each county, chosen at the big
annual meeting of the association
each spring. These gentlemen
servo without compensation and
conduct the affairs of the large
society in a strictly business
manner.
1t is interesting to note that
this peoples movement is sup
ported by mem bership fee of
one dollar annually. During the
past two year the commercial
clubs Of the larger clubs Of the
larger towns have made appro-
priations to help the movement.
Under a law passed two years
ago. county boards can also as
sist and have done so.
"Our association is so formed"
said Mr.. Fairall Monday, that
W e can create no debt outside of
current expenses that are at all
times under the supervision of
the executive board. We never
go any further than our money
permits ard thus far we have
had money enough to do what
our mittee decided upon.
The railway tolls since we LETT
home have alone reached over
five hundred dollars. A small
appropriation from each of our
bonrds of supervisors will see )
through in good shape and l be-
lieve their appropriation will be
made neqt week, Meantime we
have funds enough to carry us
for some time. It's a long time
until next May when our season
ends, and we are now endeavor-
ing to get support that will pre-
vent our curtailing our tour in
any manner or Gripping our
work"
TO the people of Fond du Lac
and IN fact all southern Wiscon-
sin, the attractiveness of this car
only more fully bears out the re-
ports that have come to them of
the great work it is doing to
build up northern Wisconsin.

One Of the most beautiful
ideas in machinery ever made
is the Jacquard loom. 1t is so
intelligent it almost thinks.
1t weaves regular patterns in
silks and other fabrics, because
it has been constructed to do
automatically the sort Of things
that one would think could
only be done by the close
attention of a human mind.
A great advertising medium
like The LADIES HOME JOURNAL
works like a Jacquard loom.
1t gives automatically the sort
of discriminating craftsmanship
that only a highly intelligent,
human salesman could give.
1t presents to the buyers of
the home food products and
dress-goods, household utensils
and toilet articles, in close asso-
citation with intelligent instruc-
ton on how to keep house,
how to cater to the table and
the other vital questions of the
housewives life.
The operation of presenting
your goods to the women in
these millions of homes is re-
peated in every home in such
a way that the desire to buy is
met by the willingness to buy
and the ability to pay the
price asked.
