wIScoNSIN'S WASTE LANDS
Millions Of Acres Await the Homeseek
er-Why 60 West?

In recent issue of the Chicago Ex-
aminer, A. d. Campbell writes enter
tainingly and to the point upon the sub
ject of Wisconsin's wild lands. Mr..
Campbell can see no excuse for people
flocking by the hundreds and thousands
to the far west, miles and miles away
from markets and civilization when
there are at least ten millions of acres
of unoccupied lands Ii northern WiscOn-
sin awaiting the hor4eseeker who will
develop them into farms, the superior
of which are not to be found in the
whole northwest
The climate and rainfall Of the north
ern half of Wisconsin are well suiteI 10
both the convenience and prosperity of
the dairyman and general farmer. The
climate for the year ranges from four
to six degrees lower in temperature
than north Illinois. This difference is
largely owing to the occasional periods
in winter, when the difference will be
considerably greater, and to the cooler
evenings in summer, but the days of
the growing season will approximate in
temperature those Of the lower area
mentioned
Mr.. Campbell particularly cites the
opportunity open to the dairy farmer,
and believes that but few years viii
elapse before this large area of now
waste county will be transformed into
productive and valuable farms.

HICKS ON NOVEMBER WEATHER
We Are Promised Several Sessions Of
Lively Storms

Prognosticator Hicks prognostieates
for November, as follows: On the / and
2 falling barometer will pass eastward
ly, attended by cloudiness and resulting
in rain in most localities. Stiff, north
erly winds and sharp change to cooler
will come in promptly on the heels of
these disturbances.
A regular storm period covers the 4
to 9. This period promises to bring
very active storm conditions. If the
barometer falls to low readings from
about the 8 TO 9, looka for energetic
storms of rain and wind. These dis
turbances will be attended, quite pro-
badly, with sleet and snow in the north.
All outooor work that can reasonably be
put in order before these storms will be
great gain, to say nothing of the con-
venience and comfort of the people.
The Venus influence will cause a pro-
longed disturbance of weather condi-
tions at this time
A reactionary storm period is central
on the II l3 and Ii The conjunction
of the raoon with earth on the II nat
urally indicates that high temperature
for tie season, with low barometer and
gene al storms are probable on and fol-
lowi lg that date. Change to very much
cool .r and high northerly gales will
bring up the west and northwest fianks
of his storm.
4 regular storm period'is central on
the Is. From the 16 to the 20 is time
of vast storm possibilities, This is a
r eriod in which Boreas will make q
stubborn fight for domination in most
PARTS of the northern hemisphere. Ear
ly blizzards of snow and sleet will be in
order. These storms will be followed
closely by high barometer out of the
northwest, causing high gales and un-
seasonably cold to push rapidly far into
the south and east.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the %, "a and 25, Restless and
threatening weather will mark this per-
iod. Fitful gusts of rain, cold winds
and occasional sleet and snow squalls
will be general results, sending in quite
cold weather for Thanksgiving
A regular storm period runs from the
q into December: Brisk autumnal
storms of rain and wind. turning to
sleet and snow, will be passing eastward
across the country during the last three
days of November.

MARION COUNTY FAIR
WILL MAKE SHOWING
NEW BUILDINGS AND ENLARGE.
MENT or GROUNDS.
Their Second Show Will Be the Lars-
est and crandest Ever Seen
in Florida.

The buildings and grounds of the
Marion County Fair Association are
much larger and better this year than
ever in the past. and a great many
new buildings have been erected for
the accommodation of the exhibits,
horses, etc, besides two large sepa-
rate grand stands erected for the peo-
pie to view the races and other sports
inside the large race track grounds.
The white grand stand has recent.
lily been added to and is now a build
ing 1OOx5O feet, while the colored
stand is 75xSO feet both filled with
good comfortable seats, and the
bleachers alone viii accommodate
about 1900 people. The race track
has been greatly improved and for
the past four weeks the managers of
tie association have been at work
during the day rolling and packing
the track, while all night long they
keep the city sprinkler at work to
make II one Of the best tracks to be
found in the State, and it has ever
since last season been considered the
fastest track in Florida.
The agricultural hall Is a building
1S0x4O feet, while the building for the
colored exhibits is 40x4O feet. and an
additional exhibit space is arranged
under the grand stand Of 5Ox10o. Nc
Iyer & Mckay have erected a build
ing 4Ox4O for their individual exhibit,
the office building is something Ike
2OxSO, and the entire enclosure Of the
building and grounds will aggregate
75 acres.
This is by far one Of the largest
sites selected for fair purposes to be
found In the South, and with the new
and additional buildings erected at a
great cost during the past few
months. the association viii be able
to take care OF the exhibits and peo
pie most admirably
The coming fair will not be lacking
in the amusement feature. for they
have contracted with one Of the larg
est amusement concerns In the North
for sufficient shows TO all up their
large midway, this alone TO have a
fronting space Of something like 5000
feet.
Ask your agent about the excursion
rates TO be given TO this three days
OF fun and frollc, and make up your
mind IN advance to be present at least
part of the while and see what is to
be shown by Marion county.
