TRULY A RICH SECTION
Noted Farm Editor Visits
Villas County---Enthusiastic
Over Its Crop Possibilities.

Mr. Henry Wallace, founder
Of Wallace,s Farmer of Des
Moines, Ia, in the company Of
Hon. A. T. Aukeny and Miss
Sara Ankenv of Minneapolis,
Mimi, recently visited Geo. I.
st. Clair at the Black Oak Lake
resort.
Messrs. Wallace and Anleny
inspected several farms in that
vicinity including those of Steve
Johnson and Louis Denton at
Ruumeles and declared that
such fine potatoes as tkey saw
there were not to be found in all
of Iowa, and that compared to
the crops Of the west and south
west were ahead. The clover
crop could not be excelled any
where. Mr. Wallace also found
some corn over at Lac Vieux
Desert that WAS as good as he
had seen anywhere this season.
Messrs. Wallace and Apkenv
expected to visit Eagle River the
guests of Fun LAWYER and Dan
iel Graham and view the older
farms adjoining Eagle River, but
their trip was unexpectedly ter
minated by a telegram announc-
ing a death in the family of Mr..
Dan Wallace, editor OF the Far
mer fist. Paul, MINI.
Mr.. Wallace declared on see
ing our fields of clover that
country raising such a valuable
crop is sure to become a rich
agricultural section surprising
lands raising only wheat, fax
and similar grain crops. He is
confident that alfalfa will grow
well here when once established.
although inexperienced farmers
may have considerable difficulty
with it the first year He con-
tends that a woven wire fence
and angOra goats are the efficient
means to clear land.
We are glad to have this edit
or of national reputation ex-
press himself so confidently of
the future of this section. Such
Commentator on our crops
means much when coming from
an experienced farmer and learn
ed editor who because Of his
ability and rank has been close
" associated in agricultural pur
suits with such men as the late
secretary of agriculture Jeremiah
Rusk and with the present secre-
tary of agriculture Wilson, and
who was called by president
Roosevelt to be a member of the
Country Life comm ssion.
Miss Irene T. Myers, Dean of
Women of the University of Ken
lucky is also visiting the Black
Oak Lodges, and has expressed
her confidence IN Villas county by
purchasing several hundred acres
of Villas county land. She has
had considerable experience in
West Virginia sheep raising and
believes this section is destined
to become a great sheep belt.
DR.. J. o. Ely of Chicago is
erecting fine old-fashioned log
cabin at Black Oak lake, and is
contemplating clearing in that
vicinity, some land for farm.

Miss Patsy at the Chicago opera
house, beginning on Easter Sunday
night, is Americas youngest dramatic
star, Mabel Taliaferro, in her new
play by Edward Peple entitled "The
Call of the Cricket" which received
its premiere q few weeks ago and
registered success of enormous pro
portions Mabel Taliaferro is the
youngest and one of the most talented
and altogether the most winsome and
charming female star on the American
stage She has known no other world
but that of the theatre since she was
a baby in arms, and although she is
at the present time only % years of
age, yet in the course of her short
life 20 years of that time has been
occupied In the mimic world. She
is probably best known as ''Lovey
Mary" in Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage
Patch" and as Polly" in Polly of the
Circus" In her new play she has the
most ambitious role of her career.
THE Call of the Cricket" deals with
no problems of a psychic nature; 1t is
a simple love romance, a sweet and
tender story of a little girl born in the
blue grass district of Kentucky and
afterwaTd thrown into the social en-
vironment Of the unemployed rich in
the north, where she marries, sorrows,
and is eventually gladdened. 1t is
tale as old as the hills, but told amid
new surroundings old picture in
a new frame. Frederic Thompson has
staged the play in his usual and char
acteristic lavish manner and surround
ed Miss Taliaferro with. notable
company of players, including Joseph
est, Everett Butterfleld, Lillian
Emily Lytton, Norma Mitch
ell, William Harrigan and others.

RAILROAD NOTES

Annual passes over 100000 miles OF
railroad for 1910 and after may be de
MED to 10000 ticket agents. The ques-
ton of Withholding the IL months
Frank" from ticket sellers was con-
sidered at a meeting Of an executive
committee of western passenger
agents in Chicago, and it was agreed
that for the present the list should be
cut to the bone and entirely abolished
as soon as possible, this being left to
the officers Of the Individual roads.
Since the abolition of commissions
for the sale of railroad tickets to
agents there have been many and var
led efforts to cater to these men in
various ways.
Agents who sell coupon tickets con-
troll considerable of the railroad travel
in the country and those in charge of
the big systems are continually solic-
iting their influence. When cash was
paid for the sale of tickets over for
eign lines in the way Of commissions
the method of getting their travel by
this route was comparatively easy,
but since the material consideration
was abandoned the influence of agents
has been sought in other ways.
Trip passes over any line In the
country may always be secured by
ticket agents and for members of
their families These men also are
literally favored by the Pullman com
pany, who give every concession pos
sible.
General passenger agents Of many
of the railroads, in their efforts to ca
ter to the ticket seller, during the last
one or two years have been sending
these representatives annual passes
for themselves and families. To many
of the influential agents Pullman. bag
gage and carriage passes in the differ
ent terminals have been enclosed with
the railroad pass. Not only have the
regular ticket agents been given these
passes, but assistant ticket agents,
who, in many cases, are telegraph op-
orators, have been included in the
Frank" list These operators change
and often are temporarily out of en-
ployment, and it is charged that many.
of the annual passes given to them
have been used illegally. The rail-
road officers say it is the abuse of the
privilege rather than the way the GUS
tom is spread that has caused the ag-
itation for an abolition Of the annual
passes to any railroad man below the
title of assistant general passenger
agents or other similar titles.

Urbana, ILL.,, March 26.-Plans for
teaching agriculture in the common
schools of the state are being crystal
lied by leaders in teaching work.

nois developed a unanimous opinion
about the need of such education in

stefan, after hours of effort, finally

Where it took the medical path

up and down the hills surrounding
Rock Island the road touring ply
sician's special make of so horse
power motor shoots its way in 60
seconds. Some of the paths laid out
by the pioneers are still used. 1t is
simply a difference of speed, that is
all.
Moter Life Saver.
In truth the motor car is a life
saver. The interval in the city be-
tween the OK team and the auto
mobile has been within the span of
mans life. 1t has been progress
in road transportation for physicians
in the city without a reverse and the
fancies of Jules Verne have become
realities. No industry having con-
ception in the gray matter of a
mans mind, has had such an infiu-
ence in the progress of medical sci
ence in such a short space of time
as has that of the automobile.
"Old Dobbin" who stood so pa
tiently hour after hour before homes
where his master made a fight
against death, weathered all kinds of
storm and cold and sunk into road
mires but bravely plodded on, is rele-
gated to the barn and pasture to
spend his last days in peace and well
earned comfort. He is even so far
sympathized with by the medical fra
ternity which was forced sometimes
to i'll use and abuse him in the inter
est of health and life of men and wo-
men and children that he may be
mercifully oslerized in his old age.
There is no sentiment in gasoline,
but there is rapid motive power and
practicabiIity. There is no friendly
neigh nor an understanding of con-
ditions, but there is surety that the
automobile will reach the patient in
one-tenth the time that it would take
"old Dobbin" TO hoof it; there is no
rough shedding when it freezes nor
soft shedding when it moderateS. A
motor car can stand all night before
a door of a farmhouse and no vigil
lance committee of humane society
can cite the physician before the
court for cruelty to dumb animals.
The advent of the auto has revo-
lutionized the mode of living of a
large part of the population of the
city. You can live away from books
and cooks, but where is the man who
can live away from his doctor?
Where formerly business men found
it necessary to live as closely as pos
sible to the nearest doctors shingle,
he now has moved out into the SUI
burbs. His machine is at his door
at quitting time and beside the one
he owns is that of his favorite ply
stefan with even greater motive abil-
ity.
A few years ago the buster physi-
clans of the city thought nothing of
wearing out three horses a year in
the hard travel by day and night that
had to be made BY careful figuring
and by balancing his books for tho
cost of a horse in a livery stable and
an automobile in a garage and
for repairing it was found by one
nhysician that motor car did the
