More Convenient Form.
The schedule paper is very heavy
and will stand a great deal of hand
ling. The form of h schedule is
more convenient than that used ten
years ago, and the two pages are so
spaced that when the schedule is
placed in the card-punching machine,
each time a card has been punched
the ratchet wheel automatically
moves the schedule up one line, and
all the operator las to do is to oper-
ate the keys on the punching ma
chine.
For this stage of the compilation
OF the population statistics 122, 900 900
manila cards have been ordered for
the card punching machines.
The thirty-two questions are CLASH
fed under thirteen groups.
The first is location, and under this
head the enumeration must write down
the street venue, road, etc, the
house number in cities or towns; and
the number of the dwelling house
and the number Of the family, in the
numerical order of the enumerator's
visitation.
Under the subject Name, for each
person whose place of abode on April
Is was in the family being enunerat-
ed, the census taker is instructed to
enter the first then, the CIV
en- name and middle initial, if any.
He must include every person living
on April Is, 1910, and must omit chill
dren born since that date.
The third group, RELATIONSHIP, calls
for a statement of the relationship
which the person enumerated bears
to the head of the family in which he
| resides.

asks for the SEX; color or race-tlat
is, whether white black, nulatto,

Attention Farmers!
Electric Power For Pumping.

Without water your fertile valley lands are dormant,
fail to respond to most Industrious cultivation and con-
tinues to tenaciously hold the hidden wealth locked with
in the soil. With water the same fertile lands are no
longer dormant and no longer fail to re pond to indus
triOus cultivation, but will bring forth wealtlrin a most
generous manner. Golden fields OF grain, green fields of
alfalfa and acres of orchard will appear where now the
lands are barren. This is the law of nature. 10 elevate
the water from its present level to the level OF your lands
at the lowest cost 40 the lands may be irrigated is the
problem confronting you. The solution OF the problem
is the use OF electric power for pumping.
Electric power is the cheapest power for pumping and
all power purposes for the farmer aud all power users.
II is not only the cheapest, but Is the safest and the most
reliable and convenient power that can be used. In addi-
ton, it is the only power that can be applied directly at
the point where the power is wanted, viz: AT the pump
shaft, with direct connection TO the shaft. saving the
large loss OF power due to friction in betting, pulleys and
shafts. We are ready to demonstrate the trutnfullness OF
these statements to all cOmers.
We are prepared to furnish power for the irrigation
of 10000 acres of land the coming season and will in
crease our plant capacity as the business demands.
Lines will be extended for a distance OF 20 miles from our
power plant where the business warrants thu. expense of
construction. We are not justified in incurr ing the cost
of line construction and other necessary expense unless at
least 5000 acres will use electric power the coming
season.
We will not ask the farmer to subscribe for any of
our stock, or to contribute or donate to us. or to he at
any other expense than the cost of the line from the main
transmission line along the public highway over his prem
ises to his pumping station, the necessary pump and
motor equipment for his well and a concrete weir for
measuring the water. The contract must. however, be
for a sufficient period of years to justify our outlay and
in such form as to follow the land regardless of change of
ownership.
Those interested are requested to call at our office or
write, furnishing the following information:
Cd Name and Post Office address.
CD Number of acres owned.
a. Number of acres to be irrigated.
a. Location and description of land.
90 Size of we'll and actual or estimated flow and
length of well casing. If well is to be drilled so
state and when it will be completed.
co. Distance water is to be elevated.
ca Distance from our power plant to land along
public highways.
49, Names and addresses of others who require and
now want power for pumping.
Remember it takes time to construct lines and make
installations and it is only a few months until you will
need the water. If you are interested you should act at
once.

Article on Work of University.

| Lincoln Steffens Writes Interesting
Article on Work of University.
What the brain is to mans feet,
hands and eyes, the University of
Wisconsin is to the people of the
state; the instructive recourse for in
formation, light and guidance" writes
Lincoln Steffens in an illustrated arti-
Gle of some sixteen pages in the Feb
| ruary number of the American Maya
zine, descriptive of the work that the
university is doing for the state, and
| entitled, Sending State to College,
or What the University of Wisconsin
Is Doing for It's People"
'The University of Wisconsin is Of
fering to teach anybody anything any
where" continues the writer in de-
scribing the work of the correspond
ence school and other methods by
which the university is giving instruc-
ton to people throughout the state as
deed a place where anybody who can
go there may learn anything. And be-
tween 5000 and 5000 do go there; all
sorts of people, young and old, rich
and poor, men and women from every
where, and among them they do learn
almost everything. The great MAORI
ty (of the people of wisconsin, can
not go to Madison ever, even for ten
days They all contribute to the sup
port Of this state university. They all
need, and many Of them want to learn
something-as the fortunes made by
private correspondence schools prove.
The University of Wisconsin is reach
ing for these people. 1t has organized
a public correspondence school, and
the Milwaukee class in shop mechan-
les is but one of many such schools by
means of which the university is mail
ing instruction out to the homes,
farms and shops of the people who
cannot go to Madison.
Breaking thus the bounds of Madi-
son, the university is also breaking
university and setting up new ideal
for education. Government every
where is being democratized, and the
beginnings are here for the democra-
tization of industry. The democratiza-
ton of knowledge is in sight at the
university of the people of the State
of Wisconsin,"
After reviewing the various ways in
which the university's work has been
of direct material benefit to the peo-
pie of the state, Mr. Steffens declares
that "the total profit directly trace
able to university reforms amounts to
more than $20,000,000 a year"
The University of Wisconsin is
rapidly gaining such a place in public
confidence" he continues, that it will
soon be able to accomplish what it
consciously plans to do Distribute
scientific knowledge and the clear
truth in plain terms to all the people
for their self-cultivation and daily
use"-W.

1 1000 ANSWER "AD" FOR HUSBAND

Frances Livingston of Boyd, who is
believed to have received more pro-
posals than any other woman in the
world, has chosen Louis Struvans of
Dorchester, Wis, for her husband.
Miss Livingston on Oct. 6, 1908, be-
gan to advertise for husband. She
stated that she was thirty-siX years
old and good looking; that she had a
farm in the town of Colburn and mon
ely in the bank at Boyd.
She maintained that if it became
custom for women to advertise for
husbands there would be greater
chances for happiness in married life,
because by this means woman could
get ont of her narrow home village or
CITY sphere and search the entire
world for her affinity.
Miss Livigstons announcement was
printed in newspapers in all parts OF
the United States, and some of the
Mexican. Canadian and European pa
pers also took it up. Consequently
nroposals came from men in every
walk of life.

KNAPP EXCITED OVER GOLD.
Fortv-acre Tract Near the Wisconsin
Tow, Held at 100000.

The continued finding OF gold near
Knapp has encouraged several prop
erty owners in that vicinity to organ
ize companies for prospecting. The
latest company to organize is one in
which Col. G. w. Lo Pointe of Wilson
and the A. r. Hall estate are interest
ed.
# is the firm belief of Knapp resi-
dents that the big Hall estate farm IS
in the ''gold belt" and neighborlng
farms are also being prospected Tor
the yellow metal. The little village
of Knapp is all excitement.
The original Knapp mine continues
TO furnish pay dirt, getting ore that
brings all the way from So to $12 a
ton. A farm of forty acres adjoining
the Knapp mine is held by the owner
at 100000, and he says the price Will
advance 100000 in another month.

Investigates With Possible View to
Providing Voting Machines.
Assemblyman Wallace ingalls, of
Racine is gathering information and
data On the advisability of compelling
the installation Of voting machines in
every precinct in the state. AS chair
man of the committee on elections,
he contemplates the drafting of bill
to this end, but before going that far
he means to get the right perspective
and consider carefully the advisibili-
ty of the project. He will draw up
tables setting forth the original cost,
cost of maintenance and the resultant
saving to the people. He also will
prepare statistics showing the saving
from one item alone: The prevention
of numerous recounts made necessary
under counts in which the human ele-
ment pTedOminates.
In Racine, where Mr. ingalls, lives,
voting machines have been in opera
ten for many years, and he appre-
ciates their value, as do the mem
bers from Milwaukee. The facility
with which the machines are oper-
ated by the working classes has i'm
pressed the members and this fact
enters into his investigation.

MAY LOSE LABORATORY.
President Van Hise Told Forest SerV
ice Station May Be Relocated.

President Van Hise of the Unlver-
sity of Wisconsin received word from
United States Forester Pinchot that
the University of Wisconsin is in dan
ger of losing the laboratory of the for
est service, which by vote OF the de-
partment of agriculture was recently
located at Madison. The University
of Michigan has asked the depart
ment to reconsider it's action.
1t is understood that the matter
was reopened through the efforts or
CONGRESSMAN Mclaughlin of Michl-
gan, who claimed that the Michigan
authorities did not understand what
was needed in the way of equipment
for the laboratory. 1t now develops
that the Wolverines have come for
ward with a larger offer than the
bonus of $4,000 put UP by Wiscon-
sin.
President Van Hise states that Wis
consin would not let the matter go by
default, but would in all probability
make as tempting an offer as Michi
gan has done.

COMPLETE IMPORTANT WORK.

Result of Twenty Years Study of
Lake Superior Region Compiled.
President c. R. Van Hise and Prof.
C.. K. Leith of the department of geol-
ogy of the University of Wisconsin
have now practically completed a gen.
eral monographs report on the entire
Lake Superior region, bringing to-
gether all of the results of the survey
for the past twenty years. 1t will in
clude detailed maps of each of the
iron producing regions and of the
Keweenaw Point copper district.
President Van Hise spent some time
in the Lake Superior copper district
last summer, and Prof. Leith and w.
J. Mead were engaged in United
States geological survey work in
Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
During the field season just closed
the instructors and students of the
geology department have, as in past
years, been active in various locali-
ties. The university furnishes no
fund for this field experience for stu
dents, as do some institutions, but ex-
cellent results are accomplished by
taking up surveys for private, govern
ment and state organizations. The
strict accountability for results nee
essary in this line of work makes the
training a valuable one. Prof. Eliot
Blackwelder has just completed his
work on the Laramie (Wyo.) folio for
the United States geological survey,
and for that purpose spent two weeks
in the field. Prof. Lawrence Martin
has been studying the geography and
photography of Wisconsin for the
Wisconsin geological and natural his
tory survey, with a view to making a
general report On the subject for the
state: Guy Fl. Cox has been prepar'
ing maps of oil rock in Southwestern
Wisconsin, showing it's relation to the
lead and zinc deposits, for the Wis
consin geological and natural history
survey.
A geological survey for private in
terests in the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan and adjacent portions of
Wisconsin was made by Profs. c. K.
Leith and Eliot Blackwelder and r. c..
