WISCONSIN DAY At
THE LAND SHOW

CHICAGO, Nov APPROPRIATIONS
are being made at the Wisconsin
booth at the Land Show in the Coli
scum for a vast number of visitors
from the state on Wisconsin Day.
Nov. 25. Several hundred Badger re-
sidents will see the immense exhibit
on that day.
A special program has been arrang
ed. Speeches will be delivered by
Secretary of State, Frear, Ex-Gov.
Hoard, P. A. Ferguson and w. H.
Mylrea.
The Wisconsin booth, which is one
of the finest and largest at the show,
is directly in front of the main en-
trance. Here all of the states great
crops are being shown.
No state excels Wisconsin in flax
production. 1t is first in barley, oats
and spring wheat irrigated sections a
olne excepted, according to statistics
covering the ten year period ended
with last year. 1t stands second in
the potato industry, being excelled
only by a state using a great amount
of commercial fertilizer.
As a dairying state, the exhibit
points out, it brings in almost as
much to Wisconsin farmers yearly
as is produced in all of the mines
in the country-s79, 900, 900. And it
has only commenced to show what
can be done. Thousands and thou
sands of acres in northern Wiscon-
sin, conceded by experts to be
great dairy center of the near fu-
ture, are waiting for settlers.

Mrs Anna Keyes, 854 Plover St,

pleased to publicly endorse Doan's
Kidney Pills for they live up to all
the claims made for them. My back
ached intensely and I often had pains
across my loins. I was subject to
dizzy and nervous spells and it was
plain to be seen that my kidneys were
at fault. When l heard about Doans
Kidney Pills. gave them a trial
and they soon brought relief 1 al
so gave this remedy to one of my
children who was annoyed by a kid
