Starting Alfalfa In Wisconsin

The publicity department of the
Wisconsin Advancement Association
is urging that the farmers of the
state give serious thought to the
introduction of alfalfa. AS soon as
the census bulletins began to appear
that association gave to the people of
the state the fact that Wisconsin
eads the irrigated states in value
3er acre of the alfalfa cop. More
recently the bulletins for the other
states have become available, and
yet Wisconsin is in the van.
Many will say that Glover is good
enough" and there is something to
that, but the progressive Wiz onsin
'armer, after he has given the matter
thought, will be inclined to say that
nothing is too good for him and
here is no getting away from the
,act that alfalfa is the king Of forage
crops.
1t has been said that alfalfa will
interfere with rotation of crops as
oracticed in Wisconsin, but it is ap-
parent that careful consideration
,f the situation will do away with
hat objection. The point made is
hat in the rotations as practiced
n Wisconsin, the clover furnishes
1umus to the soil for the .other crops.
This can be accomplished by sowing
catch crops of clover with all
crops-and with the addition Of lot
If pasturage. BY all means at least
carefully consider alfalfa.

in CIRCUIT COURT
FEBRUARY. TERM BRoUGT TO A
CLOSE SATURDAY
SCHULTZ AND BUSSE GET z YEARS
Divorces are Granted Mary Cote and
e. r. Garnsey

The February term of Circuit court
for Rusk county ended last Saturday.
The case of A. e. Walrath VS.
Rusk county and John NJ. Hurless, as
county treasurer, involving the ques.
ton as to whether the formers
assessment in the town of Lawrence
was legal, came up Saturday morn
ing and was dismissed with costs
against Mr.. Walrath. Mr.. Walrath,
resident of Chippewa Falls, en-
joined the county treasurer last May,
from selling his property in the town
of Lawrence for unpaid taxes, claim
ing his assessment was illegal, be-
cause too high. This injunction was
dissolved last October and came up
at this term for trial on the matters
alleged in the complaint. District
Attorney Kirwan appeared for the
County. Walrath did not appear and
was not ready for trial and as no
grounds for continuance were shown
by his attorneys, the case was on
motion of the district attorney, dis
missed as above stated.
In the case of State of Wisconsin
VS.. Henry Busse, the stay OF execu.
ton of sentence 1.-TWO years) was

on Feb. 5, where he plead guilty to
abandonment Of his wife and four
young children. At that time the ex-
ecution of sentence was stayed to
give Busse chance to be placed on
probation. The court fixed his bail
as low as a cash deposit Of $500.
Busse tried to raise this, but was
unsuccessful and Saturday morning
admitted he was unable to do so.
On motion of the district attor.
ney the court made an order vaca-
ting the day Of execution.

Suggestion to Canadian Land Ad-
vertsers

Our Canadian friends while in their
ld ertising have been so careful to
on it information as to the fact that
the railroad transportation is SO in
adequate that the streets of many of
he towns are, as the st. Paul Dis
patch recently said, filled with sack
ed wheat, should use the following
Superior dispatch:
Canadian farmers are rushing
their grain to Superior and Duluth
at the rate of 225 cars a day in an
effort to avoid loss by exposure be-
cause of lack of storage facilities.
Often the shipments are run through
the driers and cleaners The loss in
weight is heavy and one carload was
discovered in which the shrinkage
was 1882 pounds. Five men on
the staff of the local customs office
| are aiding in handling the grain
which is placed in bonded bins
The above sounds different from
what we have been hearing and read
ing about the conditions across the
border where the rainbow is sup
posed to come down right at the exi
of the horn of plenty.

NATIONS EYES ON NORTH DAKOTA
La Toilette Has Good Chance Of Get
ting the Delegation

The eyes of the nation are upon
North Dakota That state will be
The first of the presidential prefer.
ence primary group to vote direct.
,y upon the nomination of a Repub-
ican candidate for president This
election will be held March 10Th, only
a week away.
Three candidates will figure in this
important battle of ballots, Presi
dent Taft, Colonel Roosevelt and
Senator La Toilette. Everything in
dicates that La Toilette will win.
Senator A. j. Gronna, now in his
own state heading the score Of
speakers who are advocating the
nomination of La Toilette. as he was
leaving Washington to stump North
Dakota, said:
North Dakota for long time has
been in favor of the nomination and
election of La Toilette. All reports
from the state, and l have been in
touch with every section, indicate
that Senator La Toilette is not only
holding his own, but every day is
gaining ground.
"No one needs to go to my state
to tell the people how to vote. They
have demonstrated on many occa'
sions that they are perfectly able to
settle such questions for themselves
They know La Toilette and believe
in him and the policies which he
has advocated for quarter of a
century.
"The opposition to Senator LIE
Toilette comes from those corpora
tions which profit at the expense OF
the people. It is perfectly natural
that the special interests should op
pose La Toilette and equally natura
that the people should be for him
The people of North Dakota have 8
thorough understanding of the cam
pain which is on in that state
against him. The effort now on tc
obscure the issue will not avail. The
men who are making the figh
against La Toilette in the state are
those who have always been aligned
with standpatism The real Progress
sives of North Dakota are back O.
| La Toilette. / am certain NORTH
| Dakota will elect La Toilette dele

Senator La Toilette is now almos
completely restored to his forme
| good health and will soon return t

power. This fact has inspired thos
who are fighting for his nomination

GOOD ADVICE TO WooDMEN

Herman l.. Ekern, Commissioner
of Insurance of Wisconsin, says, in
speaking of the change in rates made
by the Modern Woodmen: Even as
a matter of dollars and cents, mem
bers of re-rating societies should
continue their insurance because their
rates will be as low as any that can
be offered in this state for the same
kind of insurance by any permanent
society, and because any member
changing from one society to another
pays something more in the first cost
of getting into the society or secur-
ing other insurance. Members who
think of dropping their insurance will
do well to take enough time to study
the question before doing anything
which may bring regret to both them
selves and their families"

Snow Was Too Soft For Best Jump.
ng-Ten Riders Compete

1t is estimated that between 700
and 500 people witnessed Lady
smiths first ski tournament, held at
the Ladysmith Ski Clubs new slide,
two miles north of this city, last
Sunday afternoon. All enjoyed the
sport, although there were no out
side riders present, owing to a big
tournament being held at EauClaire
on the same day. Music was furnish
ed by the local band.
Weather conditions were not right
for the best jumping, being too
warm and the snow was sticky The
track was rough, too, and this was
also a serious handicap to the riders.
Miss Eleda Evenrud, of Mime
apolis, gave two exhibition jumps
at the close of the tournament, which
was one of the features that, appar
emily, attracted the most interest
She is a skillful rider.
Not counting the preliminary or

given three jumps The following

Likes Eccentric Players.

The average man in charge of a ball team tries to steer clear of eccentric ball players, but there is one exception to this rule, Joe Cantillon. It is ques- tionable if there was ever team which numbered among it's members as many individuals who, in the par lance of the game, are called bugs" as arc to be found on Cantillon's Mime arolis team this season. Waddell, Al tiger and Ferris are but three of his players who are, to say the least, pc culiar, but there arc others, including Rcssman, once a star with the Tigers. Cantillon seems to delight in gathering about him this class of players and, peculiarly enough, he seems to have made up another winning combination ir this way.

When those Cubans-fAlmeida and Marsans-came into the National ltague lot of people were inclined to look on the deal that brought them as a sort of hippodrome stunt by Frank Bancroft to add interest to the Reds and bolster up battered gate receipts. Time has proven otherwise, for both won places on real merit as ball play CTS. True. Almeida has been shunt- ed to the minors, but it was because of indifferent disposition and not for lack of ability. He hit over 300 in the few games Clark Griffith permitted him to play last year and proved a valuable utility man. Marsans did not hit so hard. Perhaps he was not as good ball player as Almeida, but he showed moro earnestness in his work and that counts. Today there is no
