RECOMMENDS PRICE COUNTY.

Rev. Joseph Schell, Catholic priest
at Soxon, Wis, in the Catholic Tribune
published at Dubuque, Iowa, advises
his people who might be looking for a
place to locate to go to Catawba in the
southern part of Price county. What
he says of this part of the county is
equally true of the whole of it. Here
are his words:
The success in settling people on
farms is best attained by helping the
settlers to obtain the right kind of
land for the right price in location
where the land, the climate, the crops
and the markets are the best.
Catawba, Price county. Wis. is a
station on the 500 line, 100 miles east
of st. Paul. 1t is an ideal place, which
| strongly recommend to farmers living
further south and whose farms are too
small to accommodate all their children
and where the land is too expensive.
In Catawba are now such farmers
who came from the south where they
have sold out for high price and who
by their change have within three wears
increased their former holdings four
times in size and value.
Any practical farmer mo prospector)
who needs more land for his children
than he has at present is kindly invited
to call upon VIM. Kemper or Lewis
Meyers, Ndtawba, Wis, who with
other practical farmers will show him
free of charge what and where desira-
bic land is, and what can be done with
1t, showing to him the results of their
own farms and farming.
These farmers are no agents and are
not showing or selling their own land
but are at my request helping settlers
free of charge, to locate, to select, to
buy right and to insure full value for
money under the present favorable cir
cumstances. Catawba is a new place

Pointed Paragraphs.

From the Chicago News.
Tomorrow is the happiest day in a
mans life.
Tears of joy and sadness come from
the same tank.
He who speaks from experience leaves
lot of things unsaid.
The best way to get money, as well
as the slowest, is to work for it.
Fate seems to delight in handing mis-
fortune to some people in punches.
The exclusiveness of some families
is fortunate thing for the neighbors.
With a man an effect must have its
cause; with a woman it has it because.
A man seldom overlooks an opportu-
nifty to make himself the hero of his own
story.
Vacations are good deal like mar
REORGANIZATION often beats the re-
alization.

to drink as it is to persuade woman
that she ought to have her photograph
taken.
