Upper Wisconsin in the Public Mind

A member of the Wisconsin Ad-
vancement association who travels
a great deal says that wherever he
goes upper Wisconsin is discussed
as the place in which to make
home. This gentleman notes the
vast difference within a few years
when no one appeared to know of
the region.
This shows the value of persist
ent publicity work, and, we believe,
of the use of official statistics in the
work. 1t used to be said that the
public likes to be humbugged, but
it has been the experience of the
Wisconsin Advancement associat-
ion that the public wants facts, and
the facts show upper Wisconsin to
be the place that has been looked
for by home seekers.
The vast number of people that
are coming to Wisconsin are bring
ing i'll the aggregate large amount
of wealth, although this is as moth
ing in comparison with the wealth
they will create on the vacant lands
of the upper counties in the next
few years. 1t all adds wonderfully
to the richness of the state-even
though there are those who fail to
see the importance of state develop
ment. The state could and ought
to help.

The game at the local park
Monday afternoon between Iron
wood and Hurley was a regular
batting bee, with all the honors in
favor of the visitors. Hurley
used three pitchers, neither one of
which could stem Ironwood s bat
ting streak. OF these Lubi made
the best record. He started the
game and held his own until the
fourth frame, getting several strike
outs He was succeeded by Shad-
amo who in turn was followed by
b. Secor.
Home runs were a regular feat
ure and the field beyond the fence
was badly dented by the Irouwood
stiCkers. Hurley stiCkers got some
good practice too, but their hits
were not as effective as those of
the visitors. The support accord
ed the Hurley pitchers might have
been better and number of Iron
wood s scores came as a result of
errors. Following is the score by
innings:

factor In the duel. In the end, they
served together with that steady, re-
s~istless downward and outward drag,
to break the grip of the mans locked
legs.
Abruptly he pitched forward on his
face along the girder, kicking wildly.
grasping at the air. The stiletto fell
from an instinctively relaxed grasp,
and disappeared. And before Alan
could release his hold, or ease the
strain upon the right arm of the as
sassin, this last had slipped bodily
from the girder and hung helpless in
space, dangling at the end of Alan's
arm-with no more than the grip OF
i've fingers between him and death.
The shock Of that u~npresaged turn
brought Alan forward and fiat on his
stomach. And the strain on his left
arm was terrific. He doubted II he
could maintain it for another minute.
Nor was there any reason why he
should retain 1t. The end he had de-
signed for his victim was merely his
just desert.
And yet Alan could not let him 60.
Thus the battle began anew-but
now it was a battle with a man half
crazed and struggling so madly that
he well-nigh frustrated the efforts OF
his %rescuer.
In the upshot the assassin lay like a
limp rag across the girder, head and
arms dangling on one side, legs and
feet on the other, spent with his ter
rife exertions and physically sick with
terror.
And in this state Alan left him: he
had done enough; let the man shift
for himself from this time on
