The M. W. A. Directorship Contest.

The friends of Mr.. T. H. Duffy, ma
tional lecturer for the Modern Wood
men of America, who are managing
his campaign for national director of
that society, declare they have control
of Dubuque county, and back up their
claim with the figures to prove it.
There are ten camps in Dubuque
county, three of them in the city of
Dubuque. OF these Hustler and IRON
wood camps have indorsed Mr.. Duffy,
and Dubuque camp has indorsed one of
its own members, Mr.. John D. Dem
ison jr. There are in Dubuque county
1929 Modern Woodmen, and of the ten
camps, seven, with an aggregate mem
bership of 1912, have indorsed Mr..
Duffy's candidacy. Dubuque, the sim
gle camp indorsing Mr.. Denison, has a
membership of S76. OF the eight camps
which which have taken action to date
Mr.. Duffy has membership majority
of 1877. Two camps with member
ship of IA, have yet to act, and even if
they should be against Mr.. Duffy,
his managers declare is wholly improb-
able, he would still be in control Of the
county.
Quoting one of his managers: ''There
is not the least doubt that the national
lecturers friends will control the con-
v,ntion of Dubuque county camps"
said Mr.. C. B. Scherr yesterday, 1--WE
already have majority and the two
camps yet to take action will be for

Gold will be paid by an association of
leading citizens of Mobile, Alabama,

farmers to settle fine tract of land
near the city Of Mobile, and within

stitutions of learning and business and
of the ships of the world in her harbor.
Immediate cultivation of these lands
is necessary to supply cane for the
syrup industry of Mobile. Those now

for all they can raise and the land
yields from six to eight hundred gal
Ions per acre.
They grow from fifty to ninety BUSH
els of corn to the acre, and between
corn seasons take off crops Of hay and
vegetables from the same land.
These Mobile citizens WANT YOUR
BRAINS and will pay you for them.
To get selling agents and to learn the
best method of securing farmers to
grow crops, and thus at once settle
this rich country, these Mobile citizens
offer ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS IN
GOLD for the best ten suggestion sus-
ceptible of immediate use.

'The Wizard of wiseland.

One of the big musical successes of
the season is the new, two-act farcial
extravaganza, "The Wizarl of Wise
land"
The instantaneous success gained by
this merry Offering is said to be due to
clear and well wrought-out plot, and
to the excellence of the music, the
standard of the latter reaching that of
light opera. The piece is heralded as
being exceedingly rich in lyrics, which
include solos, duets, trios, and quar-
tets some of the artistic kind that
force their way into parlor and draw
ing room and others that are hummed
and whistled everywhere.
The story is just as original as the
title. The graduating class of young
ladies seminary through the mystic
properties of potion prepared by
their professor in chemistry and which
they drink while unanimously wishing
for the same thing, are transported
during short sleep to a wonderful
island where "Pebbles are pearls and
flowers are glrls, and where be-
nignant fairy queen takes them in
charge and promotes one of the men of
the part to the dignity of 'tThe Wiz
ard of Wiseland. The peculiar con-
ditions prevailing in Wiseland cause
comical confusion, for a time, as ev-
erything in the disposition and circum-
stance of each individual is reversed.
The results can be imagined when it is
remembered that the young ladies
have had their love affairs and their
men companions theirs. In the end all
are eager to get back to their former
surroundings, wish which the good
fairy gratifies by wave of her wand.
1t can be readily seen that there are
great opportunities for the display of
ingenious and intricate scenic art in
the stage settings as well as Of weird
and beautiful transformations and of
bewildering and fascinating costumes.
Over 400 costumes are used in the
presentation, owing to the great vari-
ETY. called for.
'The Wizard of Wiseland" will be
seen at the Cresco Opera House in the
near future. A talented company of
singers and players with large and
efficient chorus and well trained ballet
are promised in the presentation here,
the cast being the same as used in its
Chicago run of one hundred and thirty
eight performances.
