PUBLICITY OF THE SOIL
RESOURCES IN A STATE
H. J. Maxfield Interesting People
All Over Minnesota.

II. j. Maxfeld, commissioner of
immigration, has sent out commu-
nication which reads as follows:
in the work of advertising the
state we find it necessary to have
complete information of the soil
crops and general resources of the
several counties.
1--WE have, in this department, al
Of the census and agricultural de-
partment statistics available. How
ever, there are many facts concern
ing every county of which we are
not entirely conversant.
Asking For Cooperation.
81 am writing this circular letter
to all of the commercial clubs of the
state asking the clubs of each cOun
ty to cooperate in the publication
of booklet on the resources of the
county. After it is published they
may be distributed by the clubs, reaI
estate men, other business men and
citizens. | would like to have at
least 500 of such booklets from
each county, for distribution from
this office when direct inquiries are
made here concerning the resources
of a particular county.
Value of Advertising.
81 do not believe too much I'm
portance can be placed on this kind
of advertising. Experience has
taught that advertising published by
commercial clubs or other public
organizations carries much weight.
Land men, banks and other large
advertisers could, however. attacl
their own ads to the publications
they use. A publication of this
kind, in sufficient quantities tc
properly advertise the county would
not cost your county more than
few hundred dollars. and this amount
could easily be raised among your
business men.
"A few of the counties of the
state have already taken steps tc
get out such literature; among then
being BeItrami, lstasca, Pine. Kilt
son and others.
The Prospective Settler.
"The prospective settler is not sc
much interested in the rhotograp hs
of the leading citizens of the com
munity as in the agricultural re
sources of the country. The publica
ton which ! think should be gotten
out by your county should deal Will.
the county as whole, be thorough
ly descriptive of it, conservative
truthful and if possible should con

ers as to their crop yields, expert

Worthington, May 3.-As the re-

SEARS VISITS SCENES
WHERE CAREER BEGAN
The Railroad TeIegrapher's Rise
From Poverty TO Riches.
Especial to The Free rress. ]

Redwood Falls, Mimi, May 2.-R.
w. Sears, the Chicago capitalist, is
guest at the home Of w. H. Gold,
the president of the state bank of
this city. The great financier be-
gan his career as station agent at
North Redwood, a mile north of this
city, where he lived with his mother
and two sisters, about twenty-eight
years ago. At that time the man
who is today said to be worth about
twenty-five millions, was a penniless
telegraph operator. His first bust
ness enterprise was selling lumber
and cordwood to Redwood and Rem
Vile county farmers. After a few
years of the lumber and cordwood
business, Mr.. Sears began to sell
watches and jewelry through the
mails. At first he sold from one to
five watches week, with other
jewelry, but his sales increased I'M
til after period of two years he
had saved between $4,000 and $1,000.
Moved to Minneapolis.
He then moved to Minneapolis and
engaged in the mail order business
on a wider scale. His business grew
and his savings increased. After
several years at the mill city he
went to Chicago and established a
mail order house. During his early
DAYS at North Redwood Mr.. Sears
was fond of duck hunting. This rec
reation which lead him around the
neighboring county gave him a good
idea of the future values of farm
land. He saw great possibilities and
a few years later he began 20 make
farm loans through French & HOugh-
master, land dealers, who were To-
Gated in this city at that time. He
continued investing and today has
over a half million dollars represent
ed in Redwood county farm land,
including over 5000 acres purchased
with w. H. Gold.
Money For Y. M. C. A.
Mr. Sears has donated thousands
of dollars to the Y. Nj. G. A, OF
which he is an ardent admirer. He
retired from active business a few
years ago. Mr.. Sears replied when
asked what he intended to do with
his vast fortune: 81 shall give IT
away, but the gift of great for
tune implies big responsibility
One can do as much harm by giving
it unwisely, as he can do good by
giving it carefully" The bulk of his
property is invested in city real
estate in the heart of Chicago. He
very recently purchased some bust
ness property at Minneapolis for
which he paid 100000. He has
fixed business policy of renting his
property at ninety-nine year leases.
