London, May 3.-German subma-
rines which for a couple of weeks had
been confining themselves to the
North Sea where they sank a number
of trawlers, again have made their ap-
pearance on the trade routes off the
west coasts OF Ireland and England
and caught two victims. They were
the British steamer Edale, which was
sunk off the Scilly Islands, and the
Russian steamer Svoropo, which was
attacked off the Basket Islands.
In both cases the crews were saved.
A German submarine on Saturday
sank the old British destroyer Recruit
off the Galloper lightship in the North
Sea, but the scors was more than
equalized by other British destroyers
which after stern chase overlook and
sank the two German torpedo boats
that had accompanied the submarine
on her cruise.
Some of the crew of the Recruit
were rescued by the Trawler Daisy,
but as the submarine fired on the fish
ermen they were compelled to leave
the others to their fate.
The British destroyers rescued most
of the crows of the German torpedo
boats, and two officers were picked
up by a passing steamer and taken
to Holland
Besides these incidents in the North
Sea the German submarines continued
their operations off the Scilly Islands
and, in addition to torpedoing the
American tank steamer Gullflight. the
captain of which died of shock. and
two men were drowned, sank the
French steamer Europe and the Brit
ish steamer Fulgent. the captain OF the
latter vessel being shot and killed.
The American oil tank steamer
Gulflight sailed from Port Arthur,
Texas, April 10. for Rouen, France.
The captain of the Outright died OF
heart failure when the torpedo struck.
Two seamen jumped overheard, and
were drowned.

PIONEER SETTLER

To John Foss, who lives four miles
west of Weirgor, no doubt belongs
the distinction of being the pioneer
settler of this section Mr.. Foss has
resided there for ten or twelve years
and has a splendid farm Mr.. Foss has
about so acres cleared and in crops
and has at present in the neighbor-
hood of 80 head of stock, including
some fine horses. Until the road
was put through to his place from
Weirgor, Mr.. Foss had to go to Var
nell, 8 miles, or Brentwood, IA miles,
away, to communicate with the out
side world. Mr.. Foss has a fine
sugar on his place and makes
on an average about 200 gallons of
maple syrup a year.

Greatest Dairy State

The number of dairies in the
states having more than million each
is as follows: Wisconsin, 100000;
New York, 100000; Iowa, 1877 900;
Minnesota, 1,1S6,O00; Texas, 1855 900;
Illinois, 1907 900.
Of the above dairy states Wiscon-
sin shows the greatest increase in
dairy COWS, both in numbers and
rcentage-Illinois showed de-
crease of 0OO-owing largely to
the great drouths that have pre-
vailed there in recent years.
1t is apparent that Wisconsin's
dairy supremacy is not to be seri-
ously threatened, and with the upper
counties being settled the lead of
the state will be still greater in the
future than in the past.

Stoughton (near Madison) will be

as Ole Harms and John Munson, both
of that place, have bought eighties
on which they will locate in the
spring. Miss Marie Brastad, also of
Stoughton, has purchased an 80 for
nephew, who will come in the
spring
Minneapolis will have a regular
colony at Weirgor We have men
toned several who came from that
city, but there are many more.
Among them are the Natchway
brothers, each of whom has purchased
40s, which they are already improv-
ing. One of these young men has
been a star guard on the ST. Thomas
College (Minneapolis) football team.
J. Edmund Kohler has moved
here from Minneapolis onto the 80
he recently purchased in the vicin-
ity of Weirgor. A brother-in-law of
Mr.. Kohler, Gustave Scheibe, has al
so bought an 80 there and is coming
in the spring.
Ed Hodgeman, Of Minneapolis,
bought 10 acres, built a permanent
home on it and is now living there
with his family. Joe Surzyn, from
the same city, also purchased 10
acres, on which he is now residing
with his family.
1t will be noticed that these are
all actual settlers, men who are NOV
ing their families onto the land and
mean to stay and reap the rich re-
turns assured if they will give the
land a chance to earn it for them.
Zerkle Bros, Bert and Robert,
have bought fine forty near Weir
gor, on which they are locating. They
are from Iowa.
A. Delargy and w. Gagnon, from
the Lake of the Woods country, Can
ada, have bought 40 acres of Weir
gor land and are improving the same.
If the people in this section of
the state, who are thoroughly YER
SAINT with conditions here, looked
askance at Weirgor land and would
not invest in it, that would be good
reason for outside investors to be
rather chary. The contrary is true,
however, and people from Ladysmith
and Rusk county, the nearest neigh
bors to the Weirgor country are
making numerous purchases of Weir
gor land and moving there with their

county, isn't it? And there are many
other counties that crowd the issue
in the same way. Rusk county was
selected because it is characteristic
of a lot Of the northern counties
where there is yet a large acreage
of unoccupied land.
Had not the people Of Wisconsin
ought to known more about our va

THE WElRGOR SCHOOL

Last fall a temporary schoolhouse
was built in Weirgor, which is shown
in one of our illustrations. This ed
vocational institution is ably presid-
ed over by Miss Lois Siglin, of Apo[

ance, which is certainly an excellent
showing for the first year. The school
building will be used as a town hall
and meeting place as soon as a bet
ter schoolhouse is provided.
That this will not be far in the
future is shown by the fact that the
sum of 300 has already been voted
for a tWo-room schoolhouse, to be
built next summer
Two acres of ground have been set
apart for the school, one acre of
which will be used for experiment
station purposes.
