A GOOD SHOWING

At the annual meeting of stock
holders of the First National Bank
of Carpio held last Tuesday all of
the old officers of this strong
financial institution were reelected.
The business OF the past year was
the best in the history of the bank
and better showing of like
institution in a town the size of
Carpio would be hard to equal in
this state. The First National
of Carpio is among the strongest in
the state, being backed by men of
strong financial standing, men who
are always found in the front row
in any undertaking tending toward
the development of the country,
and it's through this policy that
Carpio has become one of the best
towns in North Dakota. -Carpio
Free Press.
River Falls people will be
especially pleased to note the
success of this institution on &C.
count of the fact that two former
citizens of this city are at its head
S. J. Rasmussen, president, and
Oscar Herum, cashier.

A HANDSOME GIFT

In the closing hours of his
services as secretary of state Col.
Frear was made the recipient of an
elegant, handsomely engraved gold
Howard Watch, the gift of the
employees of the department, from
the humblest to the highest in
in service. Mr.. Frear was not
expecting anything of the kind and
it was sprung on him as complete
surprise, he never hearing a hint
of what was going on. Such gifts
as this, donated in the spirit it
was presented, is something to
be proud of, and it goes without
saying that it gave a great deal
of pleasure both to the donors and
their retiring chief.-Hudson Star

JUST BEGINNING TO GROW

In the opinion Of the Wisconsin
Agriculturist, Wisconsin, though a
great state, is just beginning to
grow. Which means that the
people are just coming into an
understanding of the possibilities
that lie here undeveloped and are
merely waiting for some one to
make the most of them. This
range of possibilities is an exceed
ingly wide one, chief of which
perhaps is the opportunity for
agricultural growth
Until recent years the more
widely advertised lands of the west
and the northwest have attracted
thousands upon thousands of home
seekers, many of whom have
learned their mistake when it was
too late to remedy it. More recent
ly, however, there has been a
disposition to investigate oppor.
tunities near at hand before
venturing into country which
though made to appear attractive
on paper is new and untried, at
best, and remote from markets.
As result scores of farms have
been carved out of the hitherto un-
occupied lands in northern Wiscon-
sin recently and there is reason 10
believe that the coming year will
see the number multiplied. Land
that will grow alfalfa, wheat, oats
and potatoes-the best in the
world--are available and at a
moderate expense. What is more
these lands are located in one of
the best states in the union and
they lie within easy reach of the
worlds greatest markets.
During the past year the Wiscon-
sin Advancement Association has
done much good work in bringing
these lands to the attention of the
homeseekers in Wisconsin and
elsewhere, but it's work has only
just commenced. And the first
people to be made familiar with the
possibilities that lie undeveloped
right here in Wisconsin should be
the people residing in the more
populous counties of the state
where land has reached high prices.
These are the people who would be
best equipped to improve Wiscon-
sin farms-they understand Wis
consin conditions. Let the
message be carried to them over
and over again. 1t will be worth
while. Fond du Lac Common

The Tribune received a brief but
interesting letter from our old
townsman, F. P Ainsworth, who
is spending the winter at Tavares,
Florida, where he has property
interests. He reports that it is
too hot for comfort down there, and
says he expects to get back to
Neillsville by March 1st. Here is
an extract that sheds some light
on the ways of the old South-ways
that caused prim Aunt Ophelia in
Uncle Toms cabin" to exclaim
so frequently, "Oh. how shiftless!"
The hogs and cattle run at large
here by due process of law, over
sidewalks and streets and into
private property-yet this town has
an anti-spitt ing ordinance. Could
inconsistency go farther? Any
damage done by the rowing swine
is the loss of the owner of the
injured property, and not the owner
OF the hogs. If stock breaks
through the fence, you have no
recourse on the owner of the stock.
The principal industry of the
cracker here is to graft all north

The Basket Social, held at the
Opera House last Friday evening
was greatly enjoyed by large
number of townspeople and quite
number from the neighboring
community. For the first attempt
at such an affair in several years
it can be considered quite success.
] The amount of money realized on
| the sale of baskets was in the
neighborhood of 500, which is to
be expended for the aid of needy
! families in this city. The program
which followed the supper was an
excellent one, consisting of
selections by the auditorium
orchestra, songs by the Normal
school Glee Club, aspelling contest,
Atty. F. M. White and Cotton
Whitcomb choosing sides for this
event, a reading by Mrs. Follansbee,
and a few short impromptu
speeches by different ones who
we're called upon by Mr.. Wiger.
There have been requests that a
similar affair be held in the near
future, and arrangements for one
will undoubtedly soon be under
way II would probably be better
| to have it called as an after supper
event the next time and have the
basket auction and feed" follow
the program. Those present last
Friday evening had not had supper
and the auction of baskets was so
hurried on that account that the
prices were not up to what they
should have been if there was more
| time
