Attention of Mother, Who Kills
Captive Reptile.

Belvidere, S. D.-Ethel Thode, aged
two years, was having a fine time
pounding on a stove and listening to
the ratified replies from inside the
oven. The stove is on a screened
porch and had not been used of late.
Mrs. Thode, in the kitchen, heard
the rafting in the stove, and went to
investigate. She opened the oven door
and jumped back in time to avoid a
stab of large rattlesnake. She shut
the oven, found club, and then re-
leased the snake and killed 1t, much
to Etheps disgust, for the little girl

Wisconsin State Leads In FLAX.

Wisconsin State Leads In Flax.
Wisconsin is represented in the
United States Land and Irrigation ex~
position at Chicago in manner that
l trust will convince many that irriga-
ton is needed at this time only in a
limited way to supply local demand,
says A. D. Campbell. commissioner OF
immigration.
Last year we made a careful studs
of the exhibits at the exposition and
became convinced that Wisconsin
could equal any exhibit made there.
This being the case and with more
than 100000 acres Of idle lands.
why should Wisconsin people go to
great distances from our central mar.
kets for land upon which to make
homes?
IF Wisconsin people will examine
the records they will see that in such
crops as sugar beets, potatoes, peas
and root crops Wisconsin leads by a
profitable margin in net profits to the
farmer.
"And when you come to fax, in
1908 Wisconsin beat her nearest COM
petitor, Montana, Az bushels per
acre, and the largest producer, North
Dakota, over bushels per acre. In
1909 the Badger state beat Montana,
again the nearest competitor, 21a
bushels per acre and North Dakota,
again the largest producer, over )
bushels per acre.
"The average yield of flax per acre
in the United States in 1909 was 9.4
bushels. Wisconsin's yield led that
by five and one-tenth bushels or Cat
the price December 1 of $1.35) 1888
per acre. At the present price OF
$2.68 per bushel November ~ the
difference would be $13.66. We/don't
need to boast of our crops, but we
ought to appreciate them"

Work on the booths and exhibition

floor arrangement of the pure drug
show in the Auditorium next week,
began Friday morning. While the
model drug store promises to be an
interesting feature of the show, Presi-

exhibit of crude drugs as offering the
greatest amount of interest to the
public. The government exhibit of
123 authentic drugs will likewise be
of interest, as will the University OF

"Back to the Soil" With Aid of State.


How to induce people to get back
to the soil'' was the subject of con-
ference held with State Labor Com
missioner J. D. Beck and representa-
tives of Wisconsin railroads and Wis
consin labor interests present.
Reports show population is drifting
to the cities at the expense of the
country districts. There is much un-
occupied farming land in the state,
according to the authorities, and it
was agreed that it is essential to the
welfare of the state that this land be
worked and made to produce real
wealth.
The plan of holding land fairs was
suggested as solution of the prob
lem. State aid in making it easy for
settlers to take up land was proposed
and the railroad representatives gave
assurance that they would do all in
their power to help the movement.
Assemblyman Fred Brockhausen of
Milwaukee, representing the State
Federation of Labor; Prof. r. T. Ely
and Prof. J. r. Commons of the po-
litical science department of the uni
versity, and Dean H. L. Russell of the
college of agriculture were present
and gave suggestions.

This was battle cry for the Wis

OF the association. The meeting was
held at Milwaukee
Doctor Cobb said that the work is
better organized in Wisconsin than in

sible exception of New York and
Massachusetts. He said that the bat
tie cry could be made a fact if the
association continues it's work along
lines now being pursued.
