Going to the Cities.

The tendency to go to the cities
is mainly European as far as avail
able information indicates. The
people coming to this country of
Europe are bound mainly for the
cities, and all effort that has been
made to divert them to the land
has failed. The same is true of
the people going from Europe to
Canada and to Australia. A re-
port of a commission of the west
ern Canadian provinces Iaments
the fact that the majority of
the people coming there are bound
for the cities. Even in the old
country, recent reports say that the
people are headed for the cities.
The great growth of American
cities comes from immigration and
natural increase. Take Milwaukee
for an example, and we find that
nearly one-third of the increase in
population from 1900 to 1910 was
of foreign born people, and this
with the natural increase in popu-
lation leaves comparatively few to
be accounted for. So it is with
most of the other Wiconsin cities
that made heavy gains in populat-
ion. In view Of the common opin-
ion on this subject, it is singular
that the agricultural population of
the counties adjacent to the grow
ing Wisconsin cities increased
while, those counties that showed
a decline in agricultural population
were adjacent to the cities that
made only moderate growth.

NORTHERN WISCON-
SIN HAS CHANGED
Settlers Are TiIIing Cutover
Land and Dairying De-
VeIoping.

Northern Wisconsin has changed. Try
to count on the dairy map the butter
and cheese factories in the vicinity o1
Marshheld. The dots are so thick as tC
make counting impossible, yet Marsh
field is on the very edge of the new
country. Go from there to the extreme
north and on the shores of Lake
Superior you will find creameries. Ii
Bayfield, county the number of dairy
cows has increased from a few hundred
to thousands.
Frank Catlin, who had been a bis
farmer in Illinois, chose Ashland coun.
ty. and F. H. Pritchard. the Chicago
cattle man. chose Washburn county,
while the Darlington sheep people pre-
ferred Rusk county, and o. d. Center,
for many years head of the Illinois
farmers Institutes, preferred Oneida
county. with its varied soils and many
lakes.
The work of the Wisconsin Advance
ment association is to give all possible
information that can be conveyed by
description. We show by our printed
matter what others have done. and in
this we state what the average man
has done-nut the exceptional cases of
success, AMI our aim is to get for our
vacant lands men of at least average
ability.

ELECTION DAY -
NEXT TUESDAY
Two Tickets I'm the Field
in the Town of
Vaughn.


Next Tuesday, April 7, is elect
ion day and in the Town of Vaughn
things look good for a spirited con-
test for the various offices. Two
full tickets have been named and
it now all rests with the electors.
The caucus Monday evening at
which time it was presumed the
present town officials would seek
nomination proved somewhat of a
fizzle and was declared off on &C
count of failure to perfect all organ
ization. Nomination papers were
this week circulated and filed with
the present town officials as candi-
dates in opposition to Chas. Bonino
and his forces. Here is the ticket:
Chairman of Supervisors
Chas. Bonino.
M. Lanbrix
Supervisors
Henry Meade
R. Paul
]. A Slender
Louis Voight
Town Clerk
Joe Charbonneau
w. Z. Paynter
Town Treasurer
E. NJ. Reible
w. j. Whiteside
Town Assessor
+. J. Peterson
Justice of Peace
w. c. Trezona
Town Constable
James Collins
Frank Dardas
Max LaFave
Sam Swanson
In addition to the above the
electors will vote fer a justice of
the supreme court and a county
board of education.
There has been a generous use
of printer 5 ink for the delectation
of Town of Vaughn voters during
the past couple of weeks and no
doubt every voter in the town is
now well informed as to the rec
ords Of the aspiring candidates as
well as those at present holding
office. And its now all up to you,
Mr Voter Next Tuesday you
will decide as to who is who and
what is what The gist of the
fight seems to be centered on the
question as to whom shall constitute
the town board for the ensuing
year. The present members of
the town board have held office one
year You have their administra-
ton record and if it is such as
meets with your approval you will
be just to your conscience by cast
ing your ballot in their favor. AT
least two Of the aspiring candi-
dates for members of the town
board have a past record, having
served in that capacity for num-
Der Of years. No doubt the record
of their administration is still fresh
in your mind, and if you think
that it would be for the best inter
est of the town to again invest them
with the powers Of supervisorship
YOU have the privilege Of express
ing yourself accordingly next Tues
day. The will of the majority
shall rule, and we must abide ac-
cordingly.

QUEEN ELEoNORE OF BULGARIA.
Few royal women have visited Amer
lea. Now and then Il male royalty
makes his way to our shores and de-
parts graciously praising us, but feIpi-
nine royalty has held aloof. Those
royal ladies who have come to see Us
have with few exceptions been minor
notables. The announcement that
Queen Eeonore Of Bulgaria is to make
US an unofficial visit has aroused wide
interest 1t is said the object Of her
visit is by public addresses to correct
the impression that the BulgaI1ans
were guilty Of unwarranted cruelties in
their war with the Turks.
Queen Eleonore Of Bulgaria has been
known to her subjects and to most Of
Europe as 1.-The nursing queen" since
the two devastating wars through
which Bulgaria fought her way at a
terrible cost in human suffering and
lives. The queen was unflinching in
her devotion to what she considered
her duty. She personally supervised
the hospital service and labored night
and day at plans Of relief for the sick
and starving families Of the peasant
soldiers in the wilder parts of the king
dom. as well as the poor in the towns.
Since the latter Of the two wars she
has also been occupied in trying to
solve the problem of the disposition Of
the scores Of thousands Of Bulgarian
refugees who have been expelled from
the territories occupied by the Greeks
and Servians.
The queen is Gar Ferdinand's Sec
ond wife. She was born a princess Of
Reuss of the Cadet branch, Aug. q.
1860 and was married to the Bulgarian
ruler at Coburg, Feb. %. 1908. Queen
Eleonore is very wealthy in her own
right and it is quite probable that the
expenses of her trip to the United
States will be betrayed from her pTi-
vate purse. In Bulgaria the queen is
greatly admired. One phase in herI
character that has won the approval OF
her subjects has been the seriousness
with which she has taken her duties as
the mother Of her stepchildren, the
Crown Prince Boris Prince Cyril and
the Princesses Eudoyia and Nadejda,
whose own mother, the late Queen
Marie Louise. was Il member of the
house of Bourbon-Parme.
Queen Eleonore expects to spend six
/ or eight weeks with us and will visit
various cities. She intends to bring
only Il small suit and tlGHrr! in us DEM
ocratic Il manner as possible. Although
a very wealthy woman. her tastes are
very simple, and much Of her income
has been spent in helping the poor and
unfortunate of her husband EcoUI2ry.
She is anxious to study social problems
in America. hoping to learn much hat
| may be helpful IN dealing with the 50
cial and economic problems of her own
country. Her visit is not with the OBJ
ject of collecting any funds. as adnis-
sion to her addresses will he free and
probably largely by invitations &t

Homemade Beads.

Here is Il formula for making The
beads that are so much in evidence
just now. They can be easily coiored
with paint. powder or any Of the dyes
and stains on the market:
Mix half a cupful Of water with half
a cupful of cornstarch and stir smooth:
measure cupful Of fine white 1nnle
salt and heat it very hot. but do not
scorch: when hot pour it over the wa
ter and starch; it will make soft
paste that can be nodded rs liked.
String, first passing a needle through
each bead for the hole. and use clean
broom straws as strings until the beads
are thoroughly dry. Then color TO suit
taste and string on strong silk thread.
II a little verbena or violet extract is
added to the paste or to the salt the
beads will be delicately perfumed.
