"AlI is Not Gold That Glitters. y

AS an offset to sumo Of the glowing
reports that are sent to Wisconsin by
interested parties concerning sections
of the west and south, the following
extracts from letter published in
the Prairie du CHEN Press will be Of
interest. 1t was written by A. G,
Wallin. man of large affairs and
long residence in Crawford county,
and advises against leaving a good
thing in the old home section for an
uncertainty elsewhere.
He says. among other things; "Tell
your farmer friends not to sell a fair
farm in Crawford county for the
purpose of coming west to better your
fortunes. 1t can't be done; real
estate is too high in price; hay lands
are bringing $500 per acre and first
class fruit land from 50, 900 to 50. 500.
With all expenses attendant upon
ranching and orcharding under the
irrigation projects, it can not be made
to pay interest on the investment and
the taxes, which alone are almost
con6scatory. When the local demand
for farm products are satisfied our
prices for farm products are probably
not so good as yours. Good timothy

Planting The Vegetable Garden

It is not always advantageous to.
plant the garden as early as possible.
Under certain conditions nature
hastens the growth of late planted
seeds so that the difference in time Of
their ripening will not accord with
the difference in paintings. This is
particularly the case when the season
is late and rainy.
Plant for a succession of the
different vegetables. A garden in
which most of the planting is done at
about the same time will not give as
go0d results as where period of time
elapses between the secoud. third or
fourth paintings of the same vegeta-
bles. Particularly is this true of peas
says Farm and Home. Where a
number of different varieties were
tried the best results were obtained
from one Or two varieties planted in
succession
In sweet corn, however. this was
not so apparent It was found best to
rely on several varieties as well as
successive paintings. If the season
was backward or the paintings made
unusually early. sweet corn seemed
to be very slow in growth. On the
other hand, the corn planted later
would grow very fast under favor
able conditions and almost catch up
with the first paintings. To over
come this difficulty it was found
advisable to rely on the paintings
of different varieties.

Clown Boosting.

The Dubuque Times Journal The
town boosting movement has become
so general that one town gains little
more in this way from its surround
ing than it loses to other com petitors.
Of course this makes it doubly
necessary to keep hustling for new
business, if we would play the game
and keep up with out rivals
But while we are soliciting new
industries to come here, while one
town is wearing "booster buttons"
and another is stamping its mail
matter with booster tags" let us
see to il that we are not lacking in
certain fundamental substantials of
community development.
The most solid growth comes when
we can encourage our own young and
ambitious men to start in business
and stay hers instead of going away.
Every town has, and we have, such
ambitious and promising young men
Of good business capacity.
The city that gets ahead is the city
where the men who have already won
out are willing to help younger men
get a foothold.
If just as soon as our business men
are successful, they should settle down
idly to enjoy their money, Indifferent
to the advancement of the town. we
should PROCESS but slowly. But if
they will interest themselves in our
younger men and newer enterprises,
serve on boards of directors, invest
what they can afford in home under.
takings, give the benefit of their ex-
perience, no power on earth can stop
this place from growing very fast.
The returns from planting shade
trees and developing parks and keep.
ing home grounds in fine order may
seem remote, and not of much assist
aDce commercially. But in a place
where these things are carefully
looked after, the town acquires a wide
reputation as a residence town. Every
travelling man who comes here. every
visitor, scatters the report that this is
a mighty agreeable place to live in.
The returns from this source may
be slow, but they are very sure. Any
business man hesitating between two
places for location always chooses
the attractive residence place. And
there is constant tendency of people
to move in from the country to
educate children and enjoy town life.
and they always pick attractive resi-
dence places to move to.

THE CELEBRATION
OF MOTHERS DAY
To be Observed Throughout the Civil
lied World-The Date is
Sunday, May IL.

Mothers Day will be generally
observed on the second Sunday in
May. About four years ago an ap
preciative daughter desired to COM
memorate the anniversary of her
mother S death. 1t was not only the
thought Of laying some flowers on
mother S grave, but it occurred to her
that it would be a beautiful tribute
to all mothers, the living as we'll as
the dead, if their children, OH a
given day. would unite in the simple
wearing of white flower and thus
make Mothers Day universal. The
papers everywhere caught up the idea
and in two years it swept over not
only all of North America. but was
heartily welcomed in other lands.
The purpose of Mothers Day, AS con
ceived by Miss Anna JARVIS. of
Philadelphia, U. S. A., with whom
it originated, is day in which all
lands as one nation may unite in
honor Of mother.
Mothers day is a Mothers and
fathers'' day in the MODEST sense of
the word. but this home celebration
is named after mother as the queen
of the home, because of all of our
many special days not one has ever
been in honor of her.
Fourth of July is in honor of our
patriot fathers.
Thanksgiving is in honor of the
Pilgrim fathers.
Memorial day is in honor Of our
heOric fathers.
Washington's birthday is in honor
Of the Father of our country.
And so it is with all of the red :
letter days of this and other coun !
tries.
The Royal Neighbors will observe
Mothers day.
Appropriate exercises will ba held
IN Woodman hall Sunday, May 18th,
at 2 80 pm.
We extend to the public special
invitation to attend these exercises.

SPECIAL SESSION OF
STATE LEGISLATURE
Met at Madison Yesterday to
Consider Important Measures
Aid For Black River Fails and New
Water Power Law Among the
Leading Features.

The Wisconsin legis lature was as
sem bled in special session at Madison
yesterday at the call Of the governor.
One of the leading reasons given for
the special session is to enact such
legislation as will extend needed state
aid to the people of Black River
Falls for the catastrophe which over
took that Inflated city last fall in
the bursting of the big power dam.
It is proposed to appropriate $136, 600
fer this purpose and an additional
$40, 900 to improve the leves of
Portage.
It is also we'll known that one of
the most important matters to come
before the session will be a water
power control bill to take the place
of the one passed at the regular ses-
sion last year and which the supreme
court declared to be unconstitutional.
Something like % bills have
already been drafted and more are in
sight, so that there is no likelihood
of this session being limited TO one
week as was at first announced
An effort will be made to have the
income tax law repealed. there being
much opposition to that measure
throughout the state but it is doubt
full whether anything of that kind
will be accomplished.
