Wisconsin Stock Field.

"For the man who wishes to launch
there are yet many fields open for
profitable work, both in the corn belt
and out of II" recently declared John
L. Tormey, assistant professor of ami
NAL husbandry in the Wisconsin Col
lege of Agriculture, who will be one
of the speakers on the Live Stock
Special" which cooperating with the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul and
Chicago e Northwestern railways, the
Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders asso-
citation will operate in fourteen coun-
ties in southern and western Wiscon-
sin during the latter part of this
month and the first of the next.
THE beef producer" Mr.. Tormey
continued, may raise his own
calves and thus produce quality
which will depend entirely upon his
own skill in breeding and feeding.
IF, on the other hand, he does not
wish to maintain a breeding herd or
if his land is too high priced and is
sufficiently productive, by watching
the market carefully, he may right
here in Wisconsin proftably finish
desirable feeders, purchased at home
or on the Chicago, Kansas City, South
st. Paul, Omaha, or Sioux City mar
kets.
1T is not always advisable to buy
the best quality Of feeders, for it
sometimes happens that thin stuff,
with less quality, can be bought
cheaply and made to return good
profits by putting on better gains"

Wants Wisconsin Advertised More.
The spirit of legislative generosity
which results in an appropriation Of
$4,000 for Wisconsin's part in the
celebration of Perry's victory on Lake
Erie appears misplaced when COM
pared with the $1,000 fund set aside
for advertising Wisconsin's resources.
This was Secretary of State James A.
Frear's observation in an address at
the midwinter fair and farmers insti-
tute Secretary Frear is chairman of
the Wisconsin state board of immigra-
ton.

LITIGATION over what happened cen
fury ago." he said, "the Canadians are
fighting us today, within our own
state, and are annually capturing thou
sands of our people with millions OF
resources, while the Wisconsin immi
grafton commission is tied hand and
foot, because of lack of funds.
LESS money is given to the com
mission for advertising Wisconsin,
resources than was appropriated by
the last legislature for a naval militia
with which to drive off Canadian In
vaders Practical, hardheaded citizens
of Wisconsin must marvel at legisla
tive wisdom that gives with lavish
hands for Perry's celebration; more
money to man a toy gunboat on the
lakes; and one-third as much money
for sterilizing legislative spittoons as
is given to the immigration board fol
advertising Wisconsin's resources.

CUPIO'S DARTS.

Cupid is a most resourceful chap.
On Monday he made two hearts beat
as one when he united the hands,
hearts and fortunes of Miss Lulu Viii
liams of this city and Charles R.
Hickman of Troop C, Ninth Cavalry.
They were both down here from
Cheyenne on a visit, she to her moth
er and brothers and sisters, he to see
the sights. The little god with the
sharp arrows could see to shoot bet
ter here than at Cheyenne and he
pierced them both. So on Monday,
in the presence of their immediate
friends. at the home of the brides
mother at 1916 Pearl street, they
plighted their troth and made true
the prophecy of their friends who said
the two streams of life would finally
mingle their waters in the great ocean
of love After Jan. 90, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hickman Will be at home to their
friends in Cheyenne. Both contract
ing parties are the recipients of the
gifts and well wishes of a wide circle
of friends.

joint soul-winning campaign under
Dr. w. H. Tillman. Wichita, Kansas.
The meetings will continue at Zion
till Sunday, Jan. 21st. and at Shorter
Jan. 22nd to Feb. End.
DR.. Tillman is a preacher of great
power. All should hear him. Preach
ing begins at 500.
Last week the officers OF Zion made
a most excellent report closing the
year 1911. There has been progress
made in every department OF the
church work; 103 members have
been added to the roll and the treas
urer's report showed receipts of more
than S6,5O0.00. with cash balance of
over $l,5eo.oo. More than $500 on
was raised for missions.
The Sunday school rally added
more than 100 new members to the
roll. Plans are being made to con-
unue the rally 10 Easter.
The young people of Zion have add
ed TO their church equipment a high

RARE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR
ARMY BAND.

Music at the horse show next week
will be furnished by two bands, the
home and that of the Ninth Cavalry
This latter musical organization is
the pride of the regiment, the pride
of the army and of the race. At the
grand maneuvers at San Antonio it
was accorded the premier place even
by the southern papers. Army offic-
ials have given it every palm and it
is acknowledged to be the greatest
regimental band in the United States
army, next in place to the celebrated
Marine band of Washington.
Denver people will be given
chance to hear this peerless organiz-
alton in grand concert and be priv
ileged to dance by their music at
East Turner hall on next Wednesday
night. II will bring TO Denver for
this purpose its full equipment with
which it has charmed the people OF
many cities and won its reputation
The latest music. the most difficult
music are all in its repertoire. Spe-
cial arrangements have been made
for the ceatiug of the audience so
that those who do not wish to par
ticipate in the dancing can have a
lull tN eIIllS Vi euJoS luSHl III INC As-
tening. This concert has been under
advisement for the Auditorium and
the officials of the Stock Show were
going to have it there, but since such
an event would run counter to the
attraction of the horse show itself, it
has been decided TO give to colored
people the fullest opportunity to en-
joy the work of their own artists, and
the proceeds will go TO the band it
self.

years. is preparing to give her a tes-

Mrs. Dishman has long enjoyed rep
utation that is more than local, and
in this year she undertakes more am
bilious roles which she bids fair to
carry off with honors, according to
critics no less renowned and reliable
than Madam Hackley. Denver people

themselves on Feb. how far she has
