To Avert Drowning.
Keep cool.

Keep cool.
Do not feel alarmed if your head
should sink below the surface once or
twice-you are bound to come to the
surface.
Keep your hands under the water.
Even though you do not swim you are
bound to float for a considerable time,
providing you keep your hands below
the surface. Most people drown be-
cause, directly they come to the sur
face, they raise their hands above the
surface and shout for help. Keep the
mouth closed until the body attains the
floating position; then try and breathe
naturally through the mouth.
Propel yourself all you can with your
hands.
If you've any knowledge whatever
about swimming try to remove your
clothing The longer you are in the
water the more water-soaked they be-
come and the quicker you will sink.
When help comes to you do just as
you are told, and above all else do not
attempt to seize hold of the swimmer
who is trying to save you.

barians, serfs or commonplace peo-
pie, but it is filled with cultured peo-
pie and kings of the soil, industry
and commerce. These cultured peo-
pie and kings will be in attendance at

FACTS. WELL STATED.
Eastern Magazine Boosts Wisconsin
I Resources.

From an article inthe, current issue
of Harper's Weekly about the northern
Wisconsin "Cloverland" the following
pert paragraphs are selected because
they are true, expressive and worthy
of reproductions:
S'Hay, clover, timothy and millet are
wonderfully luxuriant. Root crops,
such as turnips, parsnips, rutabagas,
and potatoes produce astonishing
yields.
"Cloverland knows no rival in the
production of potatoes save the ARGOS
took region in Maine, or the western
irrigat lands. Yields will run from
200 bushels per acre up to 600 bushels,
and that of potatoes of the finest quail
ty.
Lake Superior apples from the Bay
field and Keeweenaw peninsulas, as
we'll as from central portions of this
region, have been prize-winners at
state fairs and general land shows.
Plums, cherries, and crabapples are
remarkably prolific
celery and lettuce of a crisp
whiteness, and flavor so unsurpassed
as to have created demand for them
in Chicago and New York markets,
are raised in profitable abundance on
the rich black-muck soils of this newly
discovered farming country.
''Small fruhs, such as raspberries,
gooseberries, currants, and straw
berries, are most prolific, and of as
fine quality as can be secured any
where in the country. Onions, of a
quality equal to the finest Bermudas
are grown here. Cabbage many heads
of which refuse to go unstripped into a
common salt barrel. and of a solidity
and quality which bespeak freedom
from attack by worms or pests, thrive
wonderfully.
"Sheep-growing, stock-raising, the
feeding of hogs and dairying, follow
very naturally in the wake of the
clearing of the land. This northern
region is most admirably adapted to
animal husbandry in all of it's varie-
ties. With it's great fertility of soil,
the bracing, lnvigorating power of it's
summer air and it's freedom from in
sect pests, the country is specially fit
ted for the development of the dairy
industry.
"Here clover is never winter-killed.
Acre for acre, lands in this Lake Super
ior region will produce more food for
cattle than in the corn belts of Illinois
and Iowa. Pure water, ample pasture,
abundant production of beets, ruta-
bagas, etc, neverfailing clover crops,
corn silage, oats, peas, and, in short,
all the foods that go t. make the dairy
ration, point out this as the logical
seat of the dairy farms for the middle
west. Superior Telegram.

HONOR BADGER WOMEN
State Fair Provides Special Depart.

place in Wisconsin. She has had

ity, from the days when the state was
a wilderness up to the present when it
is recognized as one of the greatest
commonwealth over which waves the
stars and stripes. The state board of
agriculture recognizes woman on an
equal basis with man in every depart.

immigration Commissioner Packer
Investigates Progress of
New Settlers.

B. G. Packer, Commissioner of I'M
migration of the state of Wisconsin,
is making trip through the northern
part of the state Investigating the
progress being made by those whom
the commission has helped to find
homes. Nj, Packer was in Butternut
Thursday and called on Mr.. Rorrison,
one of the new settlers who was placed
on farm through the efforts of the
commission. Mr.. Packer will also call
on Mr.. Engelerth of Marengo, another
settler whom the commission aided in
finding home.
Mr.. Packer paid visit TO the Eagle
office while here and stated that he
was well pleased with conditions as he
found them in northern Wisconsin and
the progress the new settlers had made.
The immigration commission is do
ing great work for the state, both in
finding homes in the country for those
who want them and securing settlers
to occupy the vacant lands in the
northern part of the state.
AS practical means of settlement
of the high cost of living problem, the
bringing together of the manless land
of northern Wisconsin and the landless
man of the cities will certainly go a
long way. May the good work con-
