Todd of Kentucky. The third we'd
ding that of Maria Monroe, daugh-

the first social use of the east room.
Eight years later John, the second son
of President John Quincy Adams, mar

was president there were three we'd

The gift of the senate was a mag

ambassador, NJ. Jusserand, presented
the bride with some priceless tapes

to Alice Roosevelt when she was
married. The Marquis Cusani Confa-

Upper State Attracts Settlers.

Investigation has shown that there
are more settlers coming to upper Wis
consin at this time than to any other
state
Until three years ago the state was
asleep to the fact that it possessed the
best idle lands available for settle
menG For short time prior to that
date the state had maintained board
of immigration, but allowed it only
$1,000 per year and that was not
enough with which to contend against
the rampant western promoters and
the more rampant federal govern
ment.
At that time the Wisconsin Advance
ment association was organized. The
association proceeded in manner
"aggressively aggressive" to make an
active campaign with uLquestionable
facts aud figures. This line of work
was wonderfully helped by the appear
ance OF the 1910 United States census.
Those were figures that no one was
in position to dispute. The association
put man at work making ineligible
tables from the mass OF data contained
in the census tables that would show
the productiveness of the upper Wis
consin counties in comparison with
other regions that were appealing to
settlers
