citizen to add desirable settlers and resi-
dents to our population. Every additional
settler adds value to the surrounding land,
business to the village where he trades and
wealth to the county of which he becomes
acitizen.
LISTEN. In less than three years we
have sold farm land to $50 families, 100 of
whom are now actual residents living with
IN an eight-mile radius of Conrath These
families would average five children each
This would mean approximately 1000 people
added to the population of the section of
Rusk County. These people are actual
producers and consumers. They bring
wealth into the county and add more year
by year. Other land men are doing similar
work in other parts of the county.
There is no time to idle Now is the
season and this is bumper year to pro-
claim the merits of this county. Let the
land men cooperate and work in harmony
for the best interests of the county. Let
all citizens join forces with the land men
and assist in adding new settlers who will
unite with us in proclaimng Rusk County
as one of the Banner Counties of the New
Wisconsin.

WYE HAVE been selling land in Rusll

WE HAVE been selling land in Rusk
w County for a-number of years. We
had faith in this county some years ago
when we bought thousands of acres of
choice hardwood land. We have more
faith in the future of the county than ever
before. The cities and villages are grow
ing; many new farmers are settling on the
rich ''cut-over" lands; old farms are being
improved and larger clearlngs added.
Rusk County has passed the expert
mental stage. It's great agricultural and
manufacturing future has become recog-
nized fact. It's land statesmen have perhaps
been the most persistent in bringing before
the public the wonderful agricultural and
industrial possibilities.
The past few years have shown more
real, substantial agricultural and industrial
growth than have many years past. Look
at the growth and improvement of our
cities and villages. Each village acts as a
feeder for the cities. The cities and vii
lagos add value to the farming community.
Rusk County is on the verge of the
great agricultural development it has so
long hoped for and SO long deserved. What
is now needed is more cooperation and
enthusiastic effort on the part of every

words. When the parrot finally
ceased speaking, the lady turned to
