THE BIG CONVENTION.
That of the W. R. E. Brokers To Be the Largest and
Most Important Held Here This Year-By Auto
From MedfOrd to WauSau in 100 Machines

I $3.50 to 5000 an acre, have proven to
be the most desirable class of settlers,
as they ordinarily come here with suf-
| ficient means to make rapid Roadway
| in the matter of development, in adj
| dition to which they have had practi
| cal experience.
Everything that helps Wausau also
helps Marathon county and converse
ly, everything that helps Marathon
county is of benefit to our city. The
enterprising citizens of the little city
of Medford, realizing the Importance
of entertaining this convention, the
importance of getting real estate deal
ers throughout the state to appreci-
ate this section at its true value, have
set pace that will keep Wausau hus-
ting to keep up with. They have
raised a fund of practically $500 for
the entertainment of this convention
on Wednesday and have secured
pledges from forty-fve automobile
owners to turn their cars over to the
committee for the overland trip to
Wausau on Thursday. Athens boosters
have agreed to serve luncheon in the
public square and contribute fifteen
more autos, and at that there are
grave doubts if there will be. sufficient
machines on hand to transport the
visitors here, although a number have
signified their intention of coming in
their own machines, and Stratford and
Edgar have already promised ten or
more from each of those places.
After the cross country trip the as
ISOLATION members and those who
come with them are expected to reach
Wausau about o'clock in the after
noon.
Members of the association will
gather at the city hall for business
meeting which will last until $780,
the ladies and others during this time
being entertained with a ride to Roth
schild park, where they can spend
the time previous to the banquet in
boating and bathing
For the banquet at the pavilion 500
plates have been ordered to be pre-
pared. Mr.. G. D. Jones has been Sc
lected as POSTMASTER and Mr.. G. B.
Bird will deliver a short address.
There will be musical numbers by
Me- jter and Miss Schultz, and Col.
Powell of Madison will take a moving
picture.
The evening program calls for a
band concert at the court house square
and dancing on Scott street.
1t is understood that about twenty
five automobiles will go from here to
Athens to meet the visitors and as
sist in transporting them here, be-
sides which several others will go as
far as Medford on Wednesday with
members of the Wausau Advancement
association and of the local entertain
ment committee.

Viewed in relation to its Importance
to the community the annual conyen-
ton of Wisconsin Real Estate Bro
kers, to be held here on Thursday of
next week, will easily lead all con-
ventions of the season. Wausau and
Marathon county will get more bene-
fetal advertising out of it, and this
for several reasons.
The men who will attend this con-
vention are actively interested in real
estate, and the 60 mile ride by auto
from Medford to Athens and from
Athens to Wausau, will give them OPP
portunity for study of the conditions
OF this section of the state which
cannot be otherwise than bene-
fetal to US, for it can be stated with
out fear of contradiction that on this
trip these visitors will pass through
as fine farming country as can be
seen on similar trip anywhere in
the United States. They will see a
better class of farm houses and build
ings than it is possible to see any,
where else. They will see the various
stages of development, from the cabin
of the new settler to the large clear
older settlers. They will see fields
from which are being taken immense
crops of hay, other fields from which
the crop has been harvested and with
a good start for a second crop of
clover, fields of oats, barley, rye and
other grains that cannot be beaten,
and even corn that will compare with
what they have at home, not to lnan-
ton the herds of cattle, innumerable
cheese factories and creameries,
churches, schools, prosperous villages
and good country roads.
This country trip in an auto is going
to give them different impression of
this country than they had 1t is i'm
portant that these men learn what
this section of the state really is.
They are in close touch with land
seekers in all parts of Wisconsin, and
as the lands in their respective vicin-
tiles are high in price, it has been their
custom when people came to them
looking for locations where cheap land
was to be obtained, to direct them to
Dakota, Montana and other places, and
this simply because these real estate
dealers have been in ignorance of the
true worth of lands here.
AS a result of their change of view.
after they have seen this. section, it
is more than likely that they will get
in touch with land owners here and
we may confidently look forward to
their sending here a large number of
new settlers.
These settlers who come here from
other parts of Wisconsin, who are at
tracted here because of our cheap
lands and because they can obtain
larger tracts than they could afford
to possess where land is worth from

CONSERVE sYPRoDucTs OF COAL
State Geological Survey Takes Up
Question Of Preventing Waste.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, June 24.-At meeting
of the state geological survey, held in
Governor Clarke's office yesterday,
plans for work during the coming sea-
son were outlined. The state geologi-
cal survey will make an investigation
peciaEy the coal tar products, with a
view to devising methods Of using
these commercially. Coal tar, from
which dyes are made, carbolic acid and
ammonia are among the valuable by
products from coal, Iowa coal is rich
in these by products the state geolo-
gists say.
1t is estimated that more than $780,
100000 annually is lost in the United
States thru letting the by products Of
coal go to waste. The Iowa coal does
not coke well and it is in the process
of cokeing that some Of these by-pro-
ducts are obtained. However thru
work in some OF the state college lab
oratories some process may be worked
out for obtaining these by-products,
The state biologists will also make
study OF the gypsum deposits of the
state to which 1t has heretofore given
some attention Iowa is not the leading
state in the union In It's output of
gypsum. The technology of the manu-
facturers Of gypsum products will be
given attention.

of the state is to be smade. Prof. s.
