A LIVING FROM ONE ACRE.

The statement Is frequently made
that a family. industrious and econon-
zeal. can secure q good living OF four
or five acres Of land A recent issue
Of an eastern periodical tells a story
better than this-how q woman sup
ported herself and two children on the
proceeds Of one acre. While the case
may be exceptional. it is at the same
ton for much Of the worst type Of
poverty from which folks In the con-
gested districts in the large cities are
suffering. The woman in question
went in debt for the acre Of ground,
the only profit giving fixtures thereon
being twelve currant bushes and thir-
ty stands of bees With borrowed
money she secured I'VE ducks and one
drake, a setting Of Wyandotte eggs
and six pairs Of pigeons. She has
lived on the place four years. and last
year from a quarter Of an acre de-
voted to poultry over 1000 ducks were
sold at two and three months old and
400 pounds Of feathers. On the rest
of the acre there are now 600 currant
bushes. so raspberry bushes, 100
White Wyandotte chickens, "a White
Holland turkeys. 60 pairs Of pigeons
and IS stands Of bees. The bees were
the increase from the original stands
secured with the place. the currants
from cuttings taken from the first
bushes and the chickens from the first
setting OF eggs. From the pigeons
400 squads were sold. besides the stock
left on hand. The case related simply
shows what can be done where de-
termination is coupled with a purpose
to make the most Of ones opportuni-
ties. 1t also furnishes proof Of the
fact that in the vast majority Of cases
Of poverty and destitution the root Of
the difficulty lies not so much in the
environment and opportunity as in the
individual himself and his wasteful or
vicious habits.

A. NJ, and the River Falls Chapter
r. A. M. gave a banquet at the
Masonic hall, Monday evening, in
honor of j, z. Anderson, who lett
Tuesday afternoon for De Kalb, Ill.
There was a large attendance and a
very pleasant social evening was
enjoyed. The repast, served under
the supervision of Schuyler Hamil-
ton, called out much favorable COM
ment. Several speeches added to
the enjoyment of the occasion voic-
ing the good wishes of brothers and
companions to Mr.. Anderson in his
new departure for his field of labor.
Mr.. Anderson has won many friends
in the city by his sterling qualities
and jovial, good fellowship, and De
Kalb is fortunate in adding him to
its citizens.
Owing to the taking off of the
Sunday train, pupils and teachers
alike are very apt to be late reach
ing here for the opening of school
next Monday, and it has therefore
been decided to open the first ses-
sion of the Public schools at 1880
in the morning, the first bell ringing
at 10 o'clock, and the afternoon ses.
sion being heightened to make up
lost time.
Yuletide was we'll observed by the
various organizations of the city,
with programs and trees. EXercis-
es were held by the Methodists and
gregationa lists on Christmas
eve, and on Christmas night the
youngsters were made happy by the
Ezekiel Lutheran and Swedish Mis-
sion churches.

BASKET BALL

The Ellsworth high school basket
ball team won two out of the four
games played on their recent four
day tour. On Monday evening, the
twentieth, they defeated the Bald
win high school team by score of
20 to Is. The girls team of the
Ellsworth high school accompanied
the boys to Baldwin and played the
Baldwin high school girls team,
the latter winning by a score of 10
to 4. Tuesday evening the Ellis
worth boys played at Glenwood,
getting 20 to 26 victory over the
high school team of that place. AT
Thorpe on Wednesday they ran up
against much older and heavier
team-the Co. A quint- and were
defeated by a score of II to 20.
This game used the Ellsworth play
rs up SO that when they appeared
at Neillsville the following evening
they were about all in, and could
not present a complete lineup.
The patched-up team which did
play furnished but little resistance
TO the fast Neillsville high school
quint and the score was overwhelm-
ingly against them. Frank Ander-
son, who played center for Ellis
worth in previous games, was tax
en- i'll at Neillsville and was found
to be suffering from appendicitis,
for which he will undergo an opera
ton this week.

Last Chance to Help

This week the people of Wiscon-
sin have their final opportunity to
buy holiday stamps issued by the
Wisconsin Tuberculosis aSso-
citation to provide the much-needed
funds for carrying on the crusade
against consumption in Wisconsin.
The stamp campaign closes at
midnight Friday, Dec. 81. About
three quarters of a million must be
disposed of, or Wisconsin will be
classed as failure among the
states of America that are selling
stamps for similar purpose.
The Wisconsin association set out
to sell 100000 stamps, which will
net enough revenue to wage a stiff
battle against consumption. The
estimated net sam is none too large,
and if the 100000 stamps are not
sold, the work it is proposed to do
in 1910 will have to be curtailed be.
cause of lack of money.
After the brilliant start made in
1909, the people will not let the
movement go Backward 1t is with
in their power to prevent such a
calamity. 1t is imperative that
100000 stamps be sold by New
Years.
It will mean quite financial loss
to the association if these stamps
rem ain unsold, for it costs money
to issue an artistic stamp such as is
being sold this year.
1t must also be remembered that
the school children of the state have
until midnight, Dec. 81, to work for
the valuable prizes offered by the
association to cities of different
classes for the benefit of the schools.
Every stamp purchased now in
creases this city's chances to win a
81, 900 Aero vacuum cleaning sys-
TEN, donated by the American Air
Cleaning Co., Milwaukee. This is
the most advanced method of clean
ing buildings, especially schools,
known TO science.
Buy stamp if only to help the
schools; but remember your cent
will do inestimable good in the cru
sade against the great white plague!
Taggart sells them.

Christmas Eve at the
Congregational Church

A large audience gathered at the
Congregational church last Friday
evening to witness the Christmas
exercises. There was a tall Christ
mas tree, resplendent with spark
ling lights and tinsel, and branches
bending low with their burdens of
pretty gifts. The program was
somewhat different from that of
previous years, the new feature be-
ing little Christmas play in three
scenes, entitled Santa Claus Jun
ior, Substitute" a recent publica-
ton written by Dora H. Stockton.
The play was beautifully presented
by pupils in the Sunday schoo
classes. The personnel was as
follows:
Santa Claus. .............. ....... Edmund Ward

Reverend Beecher... ,............W Wilbur Ensign
Mrs. Beecher. .....................M Mona Lowell
Harvey Beecher. ..............E Edward Currler
Dotty Beecher..... ............... Byrne Lowell
Miss Primrose .................Be Bertha Crawford
John Stacker. ....................Lev Levi Williams
The play was given in an easy,
sprightly manner, all the mem
bers of the cast giving excellent in
depreciation to their parts and
making it one of the most pleasing
Christmas programs ever given in
this city. Much credit should also
be given the Sunday school teachers
and others who assisted in the
preparations for this event. The
intermissions between scenes were
pleasantly filled in with solos and
choruses by the children.
