delightful time. The menu was
beautifully served and the different

County Normal School has been in
existence for the past six years.
Since it's organization Prof. M. H.
Jackson has been at it's head, ably
assisted by Miss Eta Michaels. They
are both entitled to the principle
credit for it's unusual success. We
understand that our school here ranks
with the best in the state and we
are pleased to know that the grad
uating classes grow larger each year
and necessarily more efficient and
praise worthy for the institution
which graduates them.

BETTER STAY
in WISCONSIN
Western Country's AlIurements
Disappoint Many, and Con-
ditiOns are not as Pictured
to Us.

That the west is no place for a
person to settle is becoming more
evident every day from the fact that
so many have found disappointment
in it. Many of them who have read
the alluring advertisements and been
their mistake, and have recognized
the fact that there are many false
representations about the chances
for the poor man III the western
states. The great west has for years
been an inviting field for the dis
contented OF the east as we'll as the
young man or foreigner seeking cheal
land for a home.
Quite a large number have de-
parted from this city and county,
and it has been learned that many
are sorry that they have lett a good
home, that they were not content
with well enough"
One settler of this northern Wis
consin has written back to friends
of the plight they have been in.
Selling a good farm where they were
making a comfortable living and
saving some, they journeyed to the
west. They could not buy land,
everything is booming, prices are
steep, and everyone has the tendency
to cheat you if they can. Land is
poorer there, dry in the summer and
wet in the winter. This family is
eager to return to Wisconsin, and
the head of the family says: people
in Wisconsin may kick about the
work of clearing land, but when clear
ed you have good land and can raise
any kind of crop on it. You can
keep COWS and sell your milk and
butter. Here YOU can't keep a COW
in summer because it is too dry, and
in the winter hay costs too much
People can make a good living in
Wisconsin and if they are wise will
stay there"
Most of the complaints come dowr

son; and Miss Ella Hessler of Yes
per, represented the assistant prin-
cipal Miss Ella Michaels The play
was entitled, ''Katie's Transforma-
tion,.' Miss Clara Pitt taking the
part of Katie. Katie Franklin is
city girl who must teach in the
country. She makes many comical
blunders and then at the sugges-
tion of some ladies of the sewing
society goes to the County Normal
school for training. The balance of
the play was based on school eX-
periences and was intensely interest
ing to students and guests. All
those who had part in these ex-
ercises executed them with credit

RESIDENCE SALES
LED THE MARKET
Owing to Weather Condi-
tionS Unimproved Property
Takes Slight Slump.

Il any one feature has characterized
The real estate market this week more
than another il has been the number Of
sales OF residences. It CHANGED during
the week that unimproved property took
e. Slight slump and building operations
sIackened up a bit, but dwelling houses
changed hands to a sufficient extent TO
make realty men busy.
And one condition only may be said
to have produced this cOndition-that Of
the weather. Rain invariably interferes
with the sales OF unimproved suburban
tracts and always hampers, rp"re or
less, building operations.
Rain Has Effect.
There was nothing but rain crow&sd
into the first half Of the present week
so far as the real estate man was OH
cerned, and it resulted in more than
ordinary attention being paid 10 i'm
proved property.
Sales of this class Of property, there
fore, surprisingly increased, and among
the deals consUmmated were some of
the biggest sales OF residences made
during the year. There were any num-
Der Of transactions ranging between
81, 600 and IS eco marks.
The interest figured on the notes in
the majority Of the transactions was re-
duced from to per cent, and this
returning TO old conditions was more
generally brought about during the week
than at any time since the financial
scare Of over a year ago. The money
feature assumed a much easier tone.
Record Month.
For the most part, real estate dealers
Say that the month Will go on record
as being one Of the best Februarys ever
experienced, In so far as is concerned
the number Of realty transactions made.
TWO days were lost on account Of being
holidays, and several others on account
Of the weather. Notwithstanding this,
however, the days on which business
could be transacted were extraordinarily
active ones and every class Of property
came in for consideration by buyers.
