In many sections throughout the
middle west this year there are renters
whose time is not drawn upon very
heavily just at present in caring for
crop, the dry season having cut it
short. Many of these could be induced
to make trip to this country and look
it over. 1t is from this class that our
most successful settlers come.
Send us the names and addresses Of
some of your farmer friends at once
and then sit down and write them a
few lines telling them that you have
done so. This is little thing to do,
and yet if every booster" would do
his share in this respect in helping
along this advertising campaign, land
seekers would be so numerous here in

tate men would al be so busy they
could afford to tell the truth. Do it

STATE HIGHWAY FUND FOR 1912
Towns Must Vote Levy to Receive
Allotment

The new State Highway Commission
has given out table showing what
each county is entitled to receive under
the provisions of Chapter 337, Laws of
1911, from the $3.50, 900 state highway
fund available for distribution for con-
struction in 1912. Rusk county s
allotment is ST., 1865.
The amounts given are what each
county will receive if every county
asks for all that it is entitled to get
under the law. 1t is probable that
some of the counties will not apply for
their full allotment, in which case the
amounts not asked for are divided pro
rata between the counties asking for
more than their full allotment.
The law is so drawn that state aid
is available in 1912 to those towns
which have voted tax to build roads
in 1912 under the county aid system,
but those towns which have not so
voted will have to vote tax at a
special meeting held on or before Sep
tember 1st, 1911, if they wish to get
state aid in 1912. The time in which
towns may act is short.

HAS BEENS" PLAY BALL
EXHIBITION OF
THE NATIONAL GAME
PROFESSIONALS BEAT MERCHANTS
Score, 10 to Thine, Two Hours
Same Teams Will Play Again
Next Friday

Modern science has relegated the old
beliefs in the occult and supernatural
into the hidden recesses of an unfath-
omable oblivion almost as completely
as the federal supreme court has
handed the same treatment to the
United States Constitution, yet there
are occasionally times when it appears
to the layman that the ghosts walk
forth. Last Wednesday was one of
those times. The ghost of base ball
''as it used to was" strobe forth upon
the green turf of base ball park and
for several hours regaled the spec
tators with an exhibition of the nation
al game as it was in the days before
the leagues commercialized it. 1t was
no lifeless and artificial production of
salaried leaguers who earn their bread
by the sweat Of their bats, but the
earnest and enthusiastic performance
of men who played for the pure love
of playing, who swatted the ball with
they swat the fly.
The English language is inadequate
to fifty portray the details of the
game, the assaults made by batters on
an offending atmosphere, the acrobatic
stunts of base runners who ran like
Stalwarts in Wisconsin primary, the
dignity and self repose with which
fielders watched the ball sail through
the cerulean blue and alght in the tall
grass far beyond the reach of their
welcoming hands. 1t was indescrib-
able and must be seen to be fully
appreciated. If you didn't see it,
don't fail to attend the unexpurgated,
full size and lfelike reproduction
which will be given next Friday after
noon.
That it was some game is shown by
the score, no measly little to l or
anything like that, but 19 to z,
mans score, something that the play
ers can proudly recount to their grand
children in years to come, when the
little tots nestle soulfully on their
knees and plead for real fairy story.
While the game was officially
awarded to the Professional Men, in
some respects the Business Men did
more work. They fielded many more
balls than did their opponents, due to
the fact that more balls came their
way when occupying the field. The
Professionals specialized in running
bases, some of them becoming pro-
ficient to remarkable degree, Carow

The indications are that hay will be

and the July report of the Department
