FAST DEVELOPING.
Rich Region Offers Health, Wealth
and Happiness, Declares
Official.

By A. Campbell, Manager Wisconsin
Advancement Association.
In Minneapolis Journal.
The idle lands Of upper Wisconsin
have today pasturage enough not only
10 sustain all the cattle of the drouth
stricken portions of Kansas and Okla
homa, but to fatten them for the beef
market. An invitation was sent to the
people of those states to send their
stock TO Wisconsin for free pasturage.
To what extent this will be done oan-
not at this time be stated.
This incident brought out state of
affairs in large portion of the drouth
stricken region that illustrates one of
the great advantages possessed by up
per Wisconsin over the southwest
aside from the supply Of pasturage and
other feed that is so dependable with
us and so hazardous there. On the
day the invitation was sent to the far
mers of the southwest the federal
government mailed its revised quaran-
tine notice and in it was included much
of the territory Wisconsin wanted to
relieve. So it seems that as to much
of this territory all that we of the
bounteous north cando is to extend our
sympathy.
Why Drift Of Settlement?
Why, many will ask, has there been
a rush of settlement to the west and
southwest while all these fertile acres
were awaiting the imam with a hoe. l"
and pillow and herd? The answer is
not far to seek nor hard to find.
A few years ago, when the back
to the land' slogan was accepted by
those who saw that there was need
for more food, the promoters who
were finding the mining, irrigation
and other fields closing them out, at
once selected the southwest as their
field of activity, largely for the rea-
SON that the railroads of that section
were anxious to have their territory
settled and perhaps more for the rea-
son that land could be secured there
for practically nothing. A campaign
was started that was fairly dazzling
to the uniformed.
Contrasted with this activity, there
was none in Wisconsin, and as time
passed and the Wisconsin people be-
gan a publicity campaign, it was
along conservative lines.
Exploitation by Conservatives.
James T. Barber, the first presi-
dent of the Wisconsin Advancement
association, was an extremist for &C
curacy of statement in all printed
matter put out by the association,
and his successor follows the same
line. Many thought that the COM
paratively commonplace literature
would not win, but it has won.
The 1910 census has helped won
dertully in enabling this organiza-
tion to make up tables that no one
could question and that showed be-
yond doubt that upper Wisconsin is
far and away the homeseekers' best
chance. Again, drouths and crop
failures in the overpraised regions
have changed the situation in favor
Of the cheap land regions of Wiscon-
sin. Today upper Wisconsin is in the
limelight.

Bridge Plaza Plan
Before Committee
Suggestion Of 5o-Year Property Leass
for $4,000, ooo-Jonesboro Road
Acreage Sold.

A new proposition has been sub
mitted in the so-called Bleckley
plaza plan for bridging the railroad
tracks in the center Of town and
erecting handsome business build
ings along the superstructure. 1t is
to lease the Western and Atlantic
Railroad acreage from the State for
80 years on a basis of $1,000 a year
and then give the property back to
the State.
This suggestion was made at a
meeting of the w. & A. Committee
OF the State Legislature by Barry
wright, Representative from Rome
Mr.. Wright declared he was conf
dent he could get a syndicate of
business men to take such a lease.
Inc plaza plan was first put for
ward several years ago by HARRISON
Bleckley the well-known architect,
who submitted a sketch showing the
feasibility of it. Leaders in local
nnance Endorsed the movement. de-
claring that the waste space over the
railroad tracks could be made to yield
the state handsome income with no
outlay.
Included in the plan are a hand
some new depot and an incline from
the Forsyth street bridge to Madi-
son avenue, to handle traffic to and
from the Terminal Station. Ralph
u cochran, John Y. Smith and Rob
ert r. blackburn, Representatives
from Fulton. recently indorsed this
| project on condition that the States
interests could be protected in the
deal Mr. Cochran declared that the
/ property frontage created under the
pian would be extremely valuable
! ana that owners whose property ad-
| Joined the plaza could afford to nav
/ Tor the Improvement out of their own
/ pockets, in consideration of the bene-
nus that they would derive from dou-
BILE frontage.
Leaders who are pushing the mat
/ Ter are hopeful that the Legislature
VIII take some action at this ses-
! sion.

Probable Punishment in Store for
Major HagadoFn.

New York. Dec. 2s.-The verdict
of the court martial. which was called
by Major General Wood. chief of the
general staff. to try Major Charles b.
Hagadorn, military attache of the
embassy in st. Petersburg.
for disobedience of orders. has filed
its findings with Major General Thos-
H. Barry and it was believed the YER
dict would be made public today.
Should the verdict be against him as
reported it was said that at most it
would provide for only mild repri-
mand.
Major Hagadorn was charged with
of orders in that he left
his post after being instructed to re-
main there. by his superior in WASH
ington. 1t was brought out that there
were extenuating circumstances as
Major Hagadorn had already been
granted leave Of absence because of
illness and that this permission was
countermanded. after he had bought
his tickets and dispatched his bag
gage. Major Hagadorn has a splen-

BEST FOOD FOR COWS
Bran and Corn Make the FIness
Favored MIX.

Washington. Dec. z6-The depart
ment of agriculture has just concluded
q series of interesting experiments to
determine the effect ON the flavor OF
milk by feeding different kinds of ra-
tions to cows The department has de-
cided in favor Of bran and corn as pro-
ducing the finest favored milk
The experiments were conducted to
ascertain the correctness Of the theory
OF some dairymen that the feeding OF
crushed oats to cows, would improve
the flavor of the milk. Six cows were
used in the experiments and the vari-
Gus kinds OF ratiOns were fed to them.
In all fifty opinions were passed on the
various samples of milk from these
cows. OF these Is showed a prefer
ence for the milk from cows fed on
crushed oats, IS preferred that from the
bran and corn ration, while nine ex-
pressed no choice.
The results" says the statement is
sued by the department, show that in
these rations not only was there no
marked difference in favor Of the
crushed oats, as a feed to improve fla
vor. but If anything, the ration con-
tanning bran and corn was more sue
cessful in producing a fine favored
milk.

LA BARRk'S WELCOME

ticipation in the Mexican centennial
Several thousands of people carrying
lanterns assembled in the city park
where speeches delivered by prorni-
nent men were loudly cheersd This
was followed by a brilliant display OF
fireworks and numerous boutires. A
procession was then formed and pro-
ceeded to the hotel where Senior De
La Barra is staying.
After the crowd had serenaded the
visitor, committee of members of
parliament and other popular lead
ers mounted the balcony where De La
Barra greeted them amid prolonged
cheering. The committee presented to
the visitor a sword and other gifts,
which he acknowledged briefly and
or and the Japanese nation
The procession later marched to the

Exceeds An In the Volume OF Imports
into South Afraca.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The success
that has marked the efforts of Amer
fcan manufacturers to establish q
market for their exports in the Union
Of South Africa, long considered to be
exclusive provinces for foreign trad
ers, completely refutes the assertion
that foreign competition is driving
Americans from the field Of export
trade, according to a statement made
public today by the department Of
commerce. The rapid strides of
American exporters into the field Of
foreign trade has caused q note of
warning to be sounded throughout the
United Kingdom against American agQ
gressiveness in South Africa the de-
partment asserts.
Statistics are cited by the DEPART
ment showing that for the first time
in more than five years. the United
States in 1912 outranked all other
foreign countries in imports into
South Africa. Inroads of American
commerce can be successfully made in
the field OF export trade, wherever the
manufacturers set themselves to the
task. says the statement. To sub
stantiate this assertion, 1t is pointed
out that in spite Of the fact that there
is a fortnightly service in German
passenger and freight steamers be-
tween Hamburg and South African
ports, that there are large investments
of German capital in the industries Of
the country and that German manu-
facturers send out numerous travellers
in an attempt to obtain a larger share
Of business. the United States has ex-
ceeded Germany in the trade.

At THE Play.

stop Their a lively farce, written
by Carlyle Moore. produced by Cohan
and Harris, and presented by one of the
four creditable companies en- tour,
played to two slim Christmas audiences
at the Grand. stop Thief" cries the
first kleptomanias to the second klep-
tomaniac, and the second kIeptomaniac
to the crook The curtain hasn't been
up fifteen minutes before you're un-
comfortable concerning your vaIuables.
The success of the piece. which had
long run last winter in New York, is
largely due to its author, Mr.. Moore.
He spent years penning vaudeville
skits. tried his hand at playwriting,
conceived stop Thief and, like Lord
Byron. awoke to find himself famous
ny situations. Two kleptomaniacs and
two crooks meet in the home of the
first kleptomaniac on the day of his
daughters wedding.
The first act closes with the discovery
of the best man trying to force a safe
in order to return some bonds, which
he thinks have been abstracted by the
kleptomaniaoal groom. The second
curtain falls on pandemonium caused
by the discovery of a policeman that he
has lost his search warrant, slipped
from his pocket by the crook The
third act ends with the bride and
groom, the best man and the brides
sister, the crook and his girl kneeling
in couples about a meek Episcopa1ian
minister who is ready to solemnize
three peaceful weddings after several
hours of mad excitement. The con-
clusion is the poorest part of the play
and crook and the housemaid should
have escaped without the melodrama.
Said a New York critic: After the
first act you decide to buy safety pins
for all your jewelry- After act you
change your decision to an anchor with
i a Yale lock Before the third act is
half over you wouldn't trust yourself
! with Confederate quarter you carry
| for luck
Like Broadway Jones" Stop THIEF
has no star in the cast, but is played
by a capable company. Especially
good as Susanne Villa, as Nell, the
lady's maid. and first aid to Jim
Dcogan. the crook John Webster. the
crook, made an excellent impression.
Though Charles Brown, as James
Cluney, the bridegroom, might be
criticized for overacting his byplay In
the way of pantomime is deserving OF
notice.
The audience left the house clutch
ing their purses, and feeling they had
been merrily entertained for two hours
