l. AND CLEARING CAMPAIGN
A BIG SUCCESS.

The Wisconsin Advancement associa-
TONS 1917 land clearing campaign is
covering upper Wisconsin like blank
et 1t is as long and broad as the cut
over region of the state. No commu-
nity.is being omitted or neglected. 1t
will mean saving of thousands upon
thousands of dollars to the men who
are working hard to make the upper
counties what they ought to be and
will be.
Now is the time for the settlers who
are just starting and who are not in a
position to buy stump puller and piler
alone to combine and buy and operate
one comparatively. Thousands of
pullers and pliers should be secured by
the settlers this spring and put to use.
Let's Danish stumps for good and all.
No effort is made to make it appear
that stump removal is anything diff
ferent from what it is if approached in
the right way and with the right equip
ment. But with the right equipment
and that handled as it should be, this
work need be no more arduous than
ordinary farm operations. This is
what the Wisconsin Advancement
association wants to akeit-with the
heavy labor cut-pleasant, agreeable
work.
The association feels that it is do
ing great educational work in assist
ing farmers in this matter, as well as
saving them in the aggregate an enor-
right equipment secured and then that
that equipment is properly used. It's
campaign is simply friendly co-opera-
ton with the farmers for betterment.
Y The association is urging the farmers
to put forth every effort to make 1917
landmark in upper Wisconsin clear
ing. While the farmers are urged to
use every possible resource to secure
the means to purchase equipment, it at
the same time is appealing to the banks
to make loans for this purpose to every
farmer who can show that he is deserv-
of credit. In this regard it is the better
stock campaign over again. There is
lust as much reason for loaning to
farmers to help get land cleared as to
help in getting more and better cows
more reason in fact.
The association reports surprising
response to its appeals from dealers,
bankers, town officers and everyone
else who has been reached in this cam
naipn. Let's make it the biggest
possible success.

A Fine Showing

The annual statement of The Old
Line Life Insurance Company of
America, which appears in this issue.
makes an excellent showing of growing
business and greater financial strength.
The assets of the company have in
creased 70 per cent in the past seven
years, and nearly 100000 in the ag-
gregate. Total assets now exceed
81, 500, 900, which places this company
well toward the top among the big
financial concerns of Wisconsin. In
surance in force increased last year by
nearly 81, 800, 900, and the total amount
of insurance on the books now aggre-
gates more than SO, 430, 600.
This company is represented in this
territory by R. r. Kimball of Clinton
vile.

MAKE HAY WHILE
THE SUN SHINES

We talk about making hay while
the sun Shines" Are we going to apply
the same slogan to clearing upper
Wisconsin land of stumps in the spring?
There is a short period when clearing
can be done to the best advantage and
when there is time to do 1t. Are
we going to accomplish the greatest
possible amount of clearing at that
time?
The Wisconsin Advancement assocla-
ton is asking this question with the
same enthusiasm that characterlzes all
it's work for the benefit of upper Wis
oonsin. Ii is getting dynamite at
wholesale price for all the communities
that are awake to the situation, and
stump pullers and pliers for every IN
dividual or group of people at greatly
reduced prices, and it should be under
stood that this applies to the best
machines. 1t is not merely matter OF
cheapness, but of getting the very best
equipment far below the price at which
it can otherwise be obtained.
That association is conducting sort
of revival in upper Wisconsin on the
matter of land clearing -stirTing up
interest and ambition and squirting
the people on to greater effort. The
fact that upper Wisconsin land, with
the stumps remaining, can be made to
return as much profit as the cleared
land of many portions of the middle
west, is not good reason why these
cheap lands should not be cleared of
stumps and made doubly productive.
The stumps should be removed as fast
as possible.
Tomake 60 cents answer for dollar
to get stump pullers and pliers at work
everywhere, and to equip with modern
accessories those that are not now SO
equipped-this is the work that is in
volved in the Wisconsin Advancement
associations 1917 land clearing cam
paign. 1t is using the mower of it's
great organization in the interest of
the settlers in uppes Wisconsin.

More Cows and More Prosperity

That upper Wisconsin needs more
cows will be agreed to by everyone.
That result will follow thespeeding up
of land clearing in the northern coun-
ties. No other result is possible Cows
mean prosperity and that is what the
1917 land clearing campaign means. The
campaingn for more and better cows is
a grand one, but behind it is an over
whelming necessity for more cleared
acres. Let's have a speeding up of

double header. The first game is sched-

should it not rain more today. will be
in first-class condition for the double
battle.
Boss Moley win send Ralph Comstock
and Mark Milligan to the firing line in
the duet of clashes and follow with Car
men Hill tomorrow. Charley Frank will
probably use Tom Sheehan, his most de-
pendable right handler, and Red Day.
sheehan has always been a hard pitcher
for the Barons to beat while Day usually
proves gravy for Moleys men.

the Barons by six and d half games,

While the Barons and Crackers are
battling today, the Pels will be idle. To-
morrow the Dobbers start series with
the cellar occupants the Mobile Gulls.
Thus, according to all dope" the Pels
will have an easy time, while the Crack
ers are battling for existence.
The Barons realize the seriousness Of
the present series as do Franks men
The Crackers are going to fight desper-
ateiy to Keep the Barons from reducing
their lead-and possibly their position
while the Barons will be fighting to pre-
vent being eliminated from the rag hunt.
The Atlantians rank better than the
Barons in every department with the
exception of base running, sacrifice hits,
doubles and triples. They top the Bar
ons in team hitting by 10 points and
in team fielding by about the same
number.
Nevertheless, some nifty battles are ex-
pected and should the Crackers leave two
with the Baron's scalp they'll be willing
to admit the Barons certainly did offer
some stubborn resistance.
