IN
WISCONSIN

The Census Bureau has issued some
very interesting statistics concerning
the agricultural status of Wisconsin
1t appears that while the State con-
tains over 2l,00O,O0O acres but little
over half of this. or II .882, 900 acres is
improved. The increase of the num-
Der of farmers in the 10 years was 4 per
cent, and the increase in the acreage
was 6 pr cent. There are now 176, 544
farmers in the State, and the average
size of the farms is l19 acres. The
value of land buildings is ST.. .197, ,558, 900
which was an increase for the 10 years
of Is per cent. This is due to the in
crease in the value of Improvements
as well as to the increase in value of
the land itself. According to the CEN
suS Bureau. farm land in Wisconsin is
worth at the present time S43 an acre
this being the average throughout the
State. Perhaps it is rather significant
to learn that the expenditure for labor
in 1910 was S19, ,044, 900, an increase
over 1900 of 80 per cent, while the ex-
penditure for fertilizers was 1922, 900
a decrease of59 per cent The value
of agricultural implements and mach;-
merry in wisconsin is S52. 1888. 900 an in
crease over 1900 of over 81 per cent.
| During the 10 years there has been a
considerable increase in the number
of small farms under 20 acres, and in
the number of farms ranging in size
from IT'S acres to 499 acres. The latter
class numbers nearly 30, 900 farms but
the largest number Of holding is of
farms between 100 and TIA acres in
size. There are only 139 farms con-
taning l,000 acres and over. A great
majority of all farmers own their
farms, and own them clear of all en-
cumbrance.

CIRCUIT COURT
PROCEEDINGS

On Saturday just before dinner the
jury brought in verdict in the case
of John j. Cramer VS.. Adam Paulus,
both of Marshfield, in favor of the
plaintiff in the sum of 5000 and costs
This was a commission for the sell
ing of real estate for Mr.. Paulus.
The jury in the case of the City
of Grand Rapids VS.. Saul Preston
brought in verdict Saturday night
just before six o'clock in favor of the
defendant in the sum of $4,000 and
costs. This case was one of the con-
demnation proceedings to secure Mr.
Preston's property on the west side
Of the river for park purposes. A
former jury of appraisal had fixed the
value at $4,000 which Mr. Preston re-
fused to accept. We now understand
that a settlement will be made upon
the last verdict and this property will
become the property of the city of
Grand Rapids for park purposes.

will reign universally. The kingdom
of the Prince of Peace is now larger
than that of any earthly ruler, and
is sweeping on with great rapidity,
and will soon compass the ends of
the earth. The speaker said that
Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rookie
feller may yet be reckoned among the
great philanthropists of this genera
ton, because of the vast sums of
money which they are pouring into
educational and humanitarian enter
prises. The promise of the Word is
that the kings of the earth shall bring
Prince of Peace, and the speaker
went on to show how artists, poets,
scientists, discoverers, and reform
ers and martyrs had brought the best
of their lives and consecrated them
to the uplift of man, and that is for
the glory of God.
The Sunday school met at the noon
hour, and at this time the distribu
ton of gifts was made. The sacred
Cantata given by the chorus club and
the Sunday school in the evening, was
a fitting climax of the day.
The auditorium was crowded to the
doors, by members of the church and
their friends. The program consist
ed of anthems, solos, class songs, anC
recitations, and was a very delightful
service. Mr. Roy Anderson sang a
selection at this service and his many
friends were glad to hear him once
more. The auditorium was very tasti
ly decorated for the occasion, the
decorations being the gift of the JOIN
son &c Hill Company, and for which
the congregation are very grateful
The friends did not forget the silver
offering as they came into the SER
vice, but left a very substantial re-
minder of their presence. Their gen.
erosity is greatly appreciated by the
officers of the Sunday school,

our people that mother and her
child were recently saved from death
at our local hospital by very unusual
and difficult piece of surgery known
as the "Caesarean operation
On November 14th Mrs. Bert Smith
of the town of Sherry, entered the
hospital On Nov. 21st the operation
was performed and on Wednesday last
she and her child returned to their
home at Sherry in a lumber wagon
and in good health
If this difficult and dangerous piece
of surgery had been done by a doctor
in distant city, we would all hear OF
it and be profuse in our praise of his
skill, but it was performed by one of
own local physicians, "a mere country
DOCTOR" so say nothing about it.

XMAS SERVICES
At NJ. {. CHURCH

The Christmas services at the NJ.
e. church were carried out as an
nounced in the Reporter of Saturday,
and were enjoyed By large congre-
cations who breasted the storm that
they might enjoy the day in worship
A feature of the morning service was
the special music provided by the
chorus club of the church. There
were duets, full chorus, and solos, the
latter being rendered by Mrs Char
lotte Lynn-Campbell and Mrs J. H.
Linderman. Both singers were in
good voice and rendered their Sc
lections in an artistic and soul stir
ring manner, to the delight of the COZ
gregation The sermon was approp-
riate to the occasion, being upon the
theme The Song of the Angels. The
pastor said that no song had ever
been sung which has so gripped the
heart and conscience of men as
the song of the angels at the birth of
Jesus. The song was the coronation
Oh new 1OrCe-lOVe- 1t was the dawn
of a new era for man, and the estab-
lishment of a new l1ingdom-the king
dom of God. He said that the song
revealed the glory of God in the in
carnation, and this was a revelation
of the great love of God for the hui
man family. The nearness of God
was revealed in the incarnation. Tho
God seems to be far from us, He is
ever near, so near that He talks with
man, walks with man, and fights the
battle of life, with and for man. That
song of the angels was the heralding
of the era of peace. Jesus was the
Prince of Peace, and His kingdom is
to compass the world. Then peace

YOUNG NEGRO GIRL
FIRST ON PROBATION
Daisy Scott, Never Before Judge
Pugh Except This Time, Gets
Conditional Freedom.

The first prisoner ordered to report to
the District probation officers, who are
shortly to be appointed under the provi-
sions of a recent act of Congress, is
Daisy Scott, a young negro woman. who
was arraigned before Judge Pugh In
Police Court this morning, charged with
stealing a watch from her employer.
Richard L. Tilley of the Landmore apart
ment house.
The watch had been given to her tenn
porarily. When she failed to return II
she was arrested. 1t was found in the
possession of one of her male admirers.
This is the first offense of any sort
that you have ever been charged with In
this court" said Judge Pugh. Il think
1t would not be good for you to send you
to prison.
81 am glad that Congress has just
passed a law designed for just such
cases as yours. l will liberate you on
your promise to mend your ways and to
report faithfully to one Of several prOba
ton officers who are shortly to be ap-
pointed"

and went out of the courtroom smiling
