John P. Hume, one of the influential
business men of Marshfield, was in the
city Friday. Mr.. Hume is very erthus-
iastic over the Consolidated Farm Co.,
organized in 1906, of which he was the
originator. Among the men of this
county who e interested in the con-
Germ are Ben Lang, B. f. Mcmillan, r.
b Salter and John f Lamont The
plan governing the business of the COM
pany was conceived by MIR. Hume, and
at present about sixty families are
located on lands over which the COM
pany has control. The land is worked
on The cooperative, proft-sharing plan
and the scheme is great success,
everyone interested receiving large
dividends yearly.
The lands worked are situated about
six miles from Marshfield. The CON-
pany has patented and in operation
steam stump puller which is a great
success. Several of these are in use,
and with one of them and a crew of
about fifteen men, about five acres of
cut over lands can be stumped and
brushed in a day, which is going some
Lands are sold to purchaser on very
reasonable terms and during the time
he is not at work planting or harvest
ing crops he can secure employment
from the company in clearing land, so
that he need not be idle and is enabled
to soon pay for his land. 1t is, as John
says, poor mans chance.

huTOIST DISCHARGED.

Mrs. l.. II. Jacob was tried before a
jury of six in municipal court Friday,
charged with running an automobile
along our main streets in excess of the
speed limit. She was represented by
Atty. M. b. Rosenberg, while Dist.
Atty. F. P. Regner prosecuted the case.
Both sides introduced witnesses. The
testimony of the complaining witness,
Officer Andrew Peterson, was weak in
the fact that he could not fix the exact
time it took her to travel block. The
jury retired at four o'clock and was out
a considerable length of time, finally
returning a verdict of disagreement.
Thereupon the attorney for the de-
fendant moved for the discharge of his
client and the motion was granted.
The jury was composed of Henry
Bielenberg. M Cawley, Carl Gogg, Geo.
Weik, Dan'l Fraser and Albert Lipin-
ski. Officer Peterson now carriers a
stop watch and will be prepared in the
future for better evidence against
automobilists who disregard the state
law

aid consolation for the sorrowful and

deeds of charity, and recognize him as
an honest, earnest and jealous christian
worker in the upbuilding of the King
dom of God on earth. That we earn
estly and heartily endorse him to the
people whom he may be called upon to
serve, as an honest, earnest, conscien-
tious, Jealous, God-fearing man and one
lat will do his duty in the service of
the Lord as he is given to see that duty.

MOSINEe'S HOMECOMING.

The old settlers picnic and homecom
ing in Mosinee last Wednesday was
largely attended and was greater sue.
cess than those who planno,a. I. I. had an.
ticipated. Over a thoasand people
were present, great many of them
from Wausau. Considering the size Of
the town and the length of time the
event had been advertised, it was more
than success. The entire program
was carried out, with the exception OF
the parade and the automobile race,
One Disappointing feature was the
absence of Jos. Dessert Of Milwaukee.
the father of Mosinee. Mr.. Dessert was
eighty-nine years old last January and
because of failing health was unable to
be present. Mr.. Dessert came to Mosi-
nee Oct. 20, 1874, or nearly sixty-four
years ago, and was a resident of the
village until three years ago.
Levi Fleming of this city, came TO the
county the same year as did Mr.. Dessert
and he was present. Mr.. Fleming is
now eighty-seven years of age and is
without doubt the Oldest continuous
resident of this county. He was the
centre of attraction among the old
settlers at Mosinee Wednesday. Mrs.
5. Clark and David Roberts rank next
to Mr. Fleming. Both live in the viii
lage, the former coming there fifty-nine
years ago and the latter one year later.
A number of others have resided in the
village for over fifty years.
The meeting of Wednesday was a
very enjoyable affair in every detail.
No one ever visited the village but who
came away with words of praise for the
treatment accorded him. Hospitality
seems to be a trait in the character of
the Mosinee people and on this occa-
sion this trait was fully exemplified.
The hundreds of people who Visited the
village last Wednesday met many whom
they had not seen in years. They resur-
rected incidents of the long ago and
lived over again days of the past. 1t
was treat such as they never before
enjoyed, and all the time they were
there, the Mosinee people were doing
everything in their power to make
the event enjoyable for them.
On the other hand the residents of
the village are speaking words of praise
for the cooperation extended them by
outsiders in making the homecoming
success. The attendance was larger
than they anticipated, and they fee, so
elated over the mater that there is
some talk of making i. an annual affair.
