Wisconsin And Florida.
(Marinette Eagle STAR

Some Florida chap recently dis
patched q letter to Wisconsin papers,
which contained slurring comments
on Wisconsin as an agricultural state
and with this high praise of the pos
sibilities of Florida soil. The editor
of the Wausau Record. Herald got one
of the letters and in recent issue
he knocked that Florida fellow into
something that makes cooked hat
look small 1t was abUut time too
that some one rise up and sEite the
land boomers of that state whose ex-
travagant claims have resulted in de-
frauding people of Wisconsin and
other states inst read the comment
Of the Record Herald scribe:
Let's see about those famous pro-
ductive lands. Florida is about two
thousand square miles larger than
Wisconsin. 1t was admitted to the
union three years earlier. 1t had, by
the census Of 1910. a population of
752. 619 against Wisconsin 8 2. 1913. $50.
The total value of Florida's farm
property, including buildings, ma
chinery and live stock, is $143. 900,
600; that of Wisconsin 81, 413. 600, 600,
almost exactly ten times as much.
When it comes to production, the
forty million dollar hay crop of this
state exceeds in value the entire agii-
cultural output of Florida. The
dairy products of Wisconsin would
pay for the whole agricultural state
of Florida in less than two years.
The Irish potato crop of this state is
worth more each year than the entire
truck and garden products of Florida
Wisconsin could buy all the oranges,
lemons, grape fruit and other tropical
fruits produced in Florida, pay for
them in eggs produced in this state,
and have enough left over for an
Easter dinner for every man, woman
and child in both states
But the comparison is ridiculous.
Florida on papsr is great state.
To the hands of the boomer il puts On
wonderful attractions But measured
by the figures of the compiler of
statistics it simply isn't in it in
comparison with any northern state,
or even with the other southern states.
Marathon county alone if it's ara
BILE lands were cultivated to their full
limit would produce more than is
grown in the entire state of Florida.

PROSPECTS INDICATE
A GREEN CHRISTMAS
And Prophets Are, Predicting a
Mild Winter.
This Locality Has Had No Snovs Worth
Mentioning Yet and Streets are
Dry and Dusty.

The probabilities are very strong
that we shall have a green Christmas
this year. as weather reports 60 not
indicate snow today. The weather
has been remarkably warm fer 6his
season all through the meath oe
December and many predictions aEs
made that the winter will be a mild
one. There has only been snow
enough to cover the ground an inch
or So once this winter and that lasted
but few days. The grass is almost
as green as In spring time while
dandelions in bloom have been q
common sight, with lilacs reported
in one OF more instances. Ed Rich
ardsou, living near Cassville. was &
Herald visitor a few days ago and
stated TO the architect of these columns
that forty six years ago we had exact
ly such winter as this. Ee left
the farm early in December and went
up to Chippewa Falls expecting to
work in a lumber camp. No snow
had yet fallen and he stayed at the
hotel far a month or more waiting
for snow to come, So that logging
operations could begin, but no SNOW
came and he returned home. When
ne got back to Bloomington s light
snow was falling but it only lasted
a few hours when it turned IN and
rained, leaving the ground bare
again. and it remained bare practi-
cally all the winter.
He thinks it an unfailing sign Of
a mild winter when the COIN husis
are thin and says he has verified the
theory in an observance of many
years. This winter he says they are
exceptionally thin and light and
predicts that the winter will not be
severe one.

Calumet the Secret of Economy.

The high cost of living nowadays,
and the way prices are steadily climb
ing skywards, is making economy in
the kitchen even more important than
it was in the goud old days of our
thrifty ancestors. But how to achieve
economy There's the rub
In many lines, it depends almost
entirely on the housewife's knowledge
of foods and on her watchfulneFs but
fortunately. in one line, baking.
economy can be made almost auto
matte by the use of the famous
Calumet Baking Powder
Economy in baking, as every good
cook knows. depends not SO much on
economy in buying the materials as
on the success Of her bskings.
Failures mean waste-bigger losses by
far than the saving she makes in buy
ing. Aud the fact that Calumet
absolutely prevents failures and makes
every baking successful mas made it
the favorite of every cook that seeks
to be economical In other words.
Calumet is the secret of economy in
baking.
1t is the purest. too-attested by
hundreds Of leading physicians-and
IS for its general quality, it is enough
TO say that Calumet has received the
highest awards at two World s Pure
Food Expositions-one in Chicago,
ILL.,. and tne other in Paris, France,
in March, 1912.

Republican National COmmitte Reduces
Southern Representation.

Washington, December 1.-THE
Republican National Committee COM
pleted its labors today and most of
the members left for their homes to-
night. The main purposes for which
the committee met we're accomplished
that is, the adoption of new rules
governing the method of selecting
delegate to a national convention and
fixing a new basis upon which the
call for delegate to the next national
convention in 1916, will be issued.
These two objects were sought to be
accomplished in special national
convention urged by the Progressive
element Of the party as we'll as many
Of the regulars. The convention idea
was disposed of yesterday by an over
whelming vote against it. The COM
mites then took up the other ques-
tions and arrived at a satisfactory
agreement.
The proposed changes are to be
submitted to a referendum of the
states, and must be ratified before
January 1, 1915. Most of the mem
bers Of the committee are confident
of the outcome. They believe a
remedy of evils they alleged prevailed
in the old system has been provided
and that the states will ratify it.
SOUTHERN DELEGATES CUT TO 165.
Representation of Southern States
is reduced materially from 245 under
the present arrangement to 165 under
the proposed method Of selecting
delegates, provided the latter is ratifi
ed by the states. The South will
have ltss than 0ne-sixth of the dele
gates in the next convention. Former
ly it has had as high as 40 per cent,
which was later cut to SO per cent
There has been nothing cut and
dried" about this meeting. The
southern committee men, realizing
from the start that sentiment for re-
duction of representation from their
section was certain to come, acquiesc
ed to such degree that only Georgia,
Mississippi, Texas and Virginia voted
against the plan adopted. With them
voted Nebraska and South Dakota,
bnt the Georgia delegate, the only
negro present, afterward moved to
make the vote unanimous. On this
only Committeeman Forester Of South
Dakota voted in the negative.
BASIS OF REPRESENTATION PLAN
The reorganization plan adopted
came as a compromise which reflected
the views of many committeeman that
Southern representation should be re-
duced, but not brought to the vanish
ing point It read as follows:
Confident that the action of this
committee, representing as it does,
practically the unanimous sentiment
of the Republican electors of the
states, will be ratified by the Republi
can electors of the states be it
Resolved, That this committee
shall issue a call for the national
convention to be held in the year
1916, to nominate candidates for
president and vice president, in &C
cordance with the following basis of
representation
Each state shall be entitled in
such convention to four delegates at
large; one delegate at large for each
