cember 5, 1911, w~re 186,003, 546.-

The commissioner says the num-
Der OF new banks, fifty-six, organized

thereof for foreign trust companies

PLAN A BIG POLISH COLONY
10000 Acres of Land in Marathon
County Purchased for Settlement
by 500 Families from East.

stevens Point.-A land deal which
ultimately will result in increasing
the population of Wisconsin many
thousands, was consummated here a
few days ago when a tract of 10000
acres in Marathon county was sold
to colony of Poles. About 500
families will settle there early in the
spring and soon 5000 more families
will come.
This big sale of northern Wiscon-
SIN land is merely the beginning of a
Dig plan by Polish farmers in Ohio,
pennsylvania and New York, who
have realized that northern Wiscon-
sin is rich in agricultural possibili-
ties.
The purchase of that tract of land
IN northern Wisconsin is a scheme
evolved by Polish farmers in the east
who are looking for better lands. -
said John P. Hume of the Wisconsin
Advancement association. There are
about 100000 acres of undevel-
oped land in the immediate neigh
borhood and as l understand it, most
OF that land will be settled by de-
slrable class of people. One thing
winch is most noteworthy is their
thriftiness and therefore they will be
an acquisition to the state

TO CUT SCHOOL BOOK COST
Arguments on Ways of Saving Money
Are Heard by Special Legisla-
tive Committee at Madison.

Madison.-At the first session of
the special legislative committee an
pointed to investigate the school text
book situation, which was held in the
parlors of the assembly chamber in
the capitol, H. H. Hilton, represent
ing CHM & Co., Chicago, told the
committee that he believed Wiscon-
sin should have a law similar to that
of Ohio, which provided for the pur-
chase of text books by the state.
which turned them over to school
boards and local dealers at cost.
He said that about 100000 was
annually spent in Wisconsin for
school textbooks and that he believed
from $4,000 to 100000 could be
annually saved to the people of the
state on these books if proper legis-
lation were enacted.
1t was brought out at the hearing
that certain textbooks are being sold
in Wisconsin for % per cent more
than in some of the other middle
west states. 1t was also shown that
some school districts use textbooks
published thirty years ago
