cuss the matter of a schedule. All the
men who took part in the game last

clubs Will play The university will
have a team the Athletics will re-
organize, the Northern Pacific wants
to put nine in the field and last

Wisconsin immigration Asso-
citation With Display AT
Iowa State Fair, Had Pack
ed Booth Viewing Wiscon-

Says the Sioux CityQa.) Eve
ming Journal of Sept. 18th, in
speaking of the various exhibits
shown at the Iowa Interstate
fair held at Sioux City last month:
Zone of the crowd centers was
the booth of the Wisconsin state
immigration agent, B. G. Packer.
Wisconsin is doing the unusual
this year in that it is paying
$4,000 a year to spread agri-
cultural facts about the state.
The aim is to encourage immi-
grafton. All the big fairs in the
west will have beer visited before
November 1, and at each a big
display has been made.
The Wisconsin aim is to attract
people to the northern part OF
that state, where 100000
acres are open to settlement.
Land prices range from SO to
$50. an acre, which purchasers
must clear. Clearing companies
have been formed to do this
work. The average cost ofclear-
ing by dynamite or the steam
puller is between $40 and$3O an
acre.
The aim of the state has been
to show at the western fairs the
mixed products possible on the
land now open. Everything
from southern beans to clover
is shown on velvet boards in the
state booth and several men are
with the display to make expla-
nations.

1t Was Some County Exhibit.

Speaking of Villas county's ex-
hibit at the statefair the Wiscon-
sin Agriculturalist published at
Racine has the following to say:
"At the Villas county booth
we met J. T. Nemacheck and Vim.
Saltenberger, both of Eagle
River, the county seat of Villas
county. We had a very pleasant
visit with the latter named gen
tleman. The writer of this
article has two brothers residing
in Villas county with whom Mr..
Saltenberger is intimately ac-
quainted. He spoke highly of
the Everett brothers of that
county, which was of,course very
gratifying to their older brother.
"The exhibit from Villas county
was fine. The soil of the county
is a sandy clay loan, a soil
known as being quick, commonly
called the quick soil, there being
just sufficient sand in it to at
tract the rays and heat of the
sun, producing an early germi-
nation of seeds and a rapid
growth. Mr.. Saltenberger
showed us a fine sample of millet
which was sown on the sixth
day Of July and cut on the sixth
day of September. 1t was fully
312 feet tall. He also showed us
stalks of oats grown by himself
on his own farm in Villas county
that were Az feet high with as
perfect a berry and straw as we
ever saw"

NEED OF GOLF COURSE

Lakes Playground = Sees
Need of One Here.

Without a doubt, whatever.
Plum lake in the west central
oart of the county has as fine a
natural golf course as can be
fopnd." said w. H. Morris of the
Shing-Guak En-Dot resort on
Catfish lake, on his return Sun
dav evening from a days inves-
tigation of Plum lakes natural
beauty and her resorts.
in 1911 ground was broken
On the east shore of the lake, on
land owned by Herb Warner, for
nine-hole golf course. The
course is an ideal one aud is Just
rolling enough for the expert
enced player. 1t issEovered with
an excellent sod and the grass is
kept short by the use of two
one-horse lawn mowers. This
course is owned by the Plum
Lake Golf Club. On the grounds
IS a commodious club house for
the use of the members.
While the present course, en-
bracing forty acres, is adequate
for a nine-hole course, it is the
intention of the club to add forty
acres more and start playing
from the lake shore, instead OF
walking a quarter of a mile. The
club house will be moved down
to the lake this winter. Right
now crew is getting the addi-
tional ground in shape for next
seasons use.
The time is ripe for such a
course on the Eagle chain, and
we should start a club. Our sum-
mer guests demand some sort of
every day amusement and recre-
alton different from what we
already have.
'While we all know that this
country is one vast playground,
still we must furnish the later
day amuscments to our visitors,
and nothing could be more ade-
quate than the forming of club
and building a golf course at
some central point on the lower
chain of lakes"
