At the depot Tuesday morning
an old gentleman who had been here
looking for land became quite excited
when he saw a gasolene traction
engine hauling a train Of wagons
loaded with grain. 1t was a sight
new to him and he wanted everybody
to see the attractive engine and
wagon train. When you come TO
think of it, it must be an Interesting
sight to farmers from some 'astern
sections where for several years past
crops have been light and the crop of
oats from eight acres could be hauled
on one wagon, and that is just about
the average of some parts of Illinois
for some time past, according to re-
porls Of some the writer has talked
| with.
Jake Staudenmaier, who has been
living just over the line in Clark
county, has rented Pat Kildee's farm
in Mathews township and a quarter
belonging to George Krecklow adjoin-
ing. He is now on the new place
putting up hay for the winter. Jake
is one of the hustling young men of
this section. Two Yeas ago he start
ed bare handed and today he has
farming outfit and some stock paid
for besides his share of the 1908 crop
| which will be close to 100000. That
is a remarkably good showing and
could only have been accomplished
by great industry and good manage
ment. His experience speaks well for
the opportunities open in this coun-
try for the man who is willing to get
down to business and put in good
| hard work to secure a start.
