Another point which makes other

TEN KILLED IN WISCONSIN
Deer Season Closed at Midnight Thurs.
day.

The open season for killing deer
closed at midnight, Thursday. There
were a good many deer killed, many
large bucks weighing from 200 to 1926
work out perfectly satisfactory, if it
could be strictly enforced, but it can
not be done. The average hunter will
kill deer no matter what its sex is.
If he finds that he has killed a doe
and that he cannot take it to camp,
eat it up and destroy all evidence, he
will leave it in the woods. There have
been some twenty deer brought here
and taken through the city, of course,
all bucks, but not sign of an antler
could be seen, which shows conclusive
ly that the hunter took a chance. Per-
haps the best thing to do, if the state
wants to preserve the deer, is to have
a closed season all the time. Some
want an open season every other year,
and each hunter be allowed to kill one
deer without regard to sex, instead of
the one buck law as now. This would
not help matters, because everybody
would be out hunting and mere deer
killed than ever.
The death roll in the state was 10
and two injured The following is the
record Of tha killed and in il rod in

HOLIDAY SEASON

Now the Christmas spirit is sweep

Wausau and our merchants are dress
ing up their windows in the most at
tractive manner, and there has never
been time in the history of our city
when there were so many beautiful
things on display for the holiday trade
Very soon the young folks will be at
home for the holidays and there will
be something doing all the time The
various schools and colleges will COM
mence their vacations from the 18th
to the goth of the month and end on
the I'd of January.
1t behooyes our citizens to do their
trading early for several reasons, to
avoid the rush incident to the close
of the season; that you may get what
you want, and if gifts are going out
of the city, so that there will be no
difficulty in getting them to their des-
tination. You must remember that
there is such a thing as the post Of
fee and express offices being unable
to handle everything without delay,
if everything comes with rush. So
get down to business early!

PAID FOR HIS LAND IN ONE YEAR

Up in Rusk county, G. P. Coon, who
was formerly in the lumber business,
went into farming last year and spec
ialiZed on potatoes. He raised 5000
bushels. Last week he sold 9074
bushels to parties in Cincinnati, Off
$4,000. They sacked and paid for the
shipping. The crop was raised on %
acres of new land, and as last year
was practically a failure so far as
potatoes are concerned, it must be
acknowledged that northern Wiscon-
sin cannot be beat when it comes to
furnishing the goods. The cost of pro-
ducing the crop and buying the seed
amounted to $1,000. Mr.. Coon has each
year raised more than enough to pay
for the land on which the crop was
grown. The cheap lands of northern
Wisconsin afford great opportunity
for the farmer. He can pay for his
land each year from this crop alone.
But there are other things to be con-
sidered. tits the greatest grass grow
ing country in the United States, and
the profits which can be made in the
dairy business are beyond calcula-
ton. To the man who has some money
the Pilot would suggest that be buy
lands in northern Wisconsin now.

reputation of being among the best of
the National Guards from all of the
states and many compliments have
been paid them for their endurance
and soldierly bearing. The men in the
fifteen companies are checking out for
the trip home, expecting to leave Fort
Sheridan not later than Dec. 18th,
which would bring the Wausau boys
