DEVELOPMENT HAS
BEEN VERY RAPID
Article in Cloverland Magazine
Gives Reasons Why Rusk
Co. is Forging Ahead

Written by L. G. Jones. of Ladysmith,
and published in Cloverland Maya
zine for July.
Rusk county was born about Is
years ago. The county was named in
honor of Jerry Rusk, the first man to
hold the office of secretary of agricul-
ture.
Driving this week over miles of good
roads and viewing the wonderful crops
the modern farm-houses, barns, silos
cheese factories and creameries, / was
made to realize that the name of Uncle
Jerry is indeed honOred.
The surface of the country undulates
into long graceful curves. 1t is drained
by four beautiful rivers and the rivers
are fed by Vulnerable swift-running
springfield streams. ~
Eighteen years ago the county had
practically no farms Today it has
many that will compare with any
farms in the old parts of the middle
west
Eighteen years ago the county was
wilderness. Today it is the center of
great, busy, intelligent. thrifty popula-
tion. The cause of the county's quick,
the average observer.
The main factor back of the solid de-
yelopment is the soil; mellow, silt
loan to a depth of from two to three
ah of
dcayed vegetation. Clay subsOil Soil
never bakes. We never have hard
"clods" to contend with.
The county was originally covered
with dense forest of large trees, such
as maple, Eastwood, elm, hemlock,
birch, etc, proving that the soil is of
the highest grade, and that the rainfall
is not only ample but has been so for
centuries.
The soil will grow anything that can
be matured in this latitude although
the foundation for the prosperity of the
farmer is clover, cows, pigs and sheep.
In addition to advantage of soil, we
have excellent railroads and highways
Three developed waterpowers and four
that will be developed in the near fu-
ture.
We live in country free from
drought and free from floods, where
rainfall is from 35 to As inches per
year.
One of the greatest advantages is
our winters, freezing to a good depth
and covering the soil with a good blan-
ket of snow, giving it absolute rest and
loosening the soil
Soil in some of the middle states
where the ground does not freeze, and
where snow does not remain on the
ground, becomes nOn-pOrOuS; on the
other hand, irrigated lands often leave
residue of alkali.
Nature irrigates and drains our soil
The Pan Handle Of Texas and other
inches of rainfall per anhum and are
afflicted with a constant drought. Wa
ter rolls off their soil as it does from a
ducks back.
The man who owns a farm in Rusk
cOunty-a country free from drought
| OI 1lOOU--d COulltIG y. NhCiC tliC
| is health-giving, water abundant and
pure, and where crops never fail, is an
arStocrat, indeed.
Cloverland is Americas last frontier,
and the only suggestion that it is a
pioneer country lies in the low price
that we are asking for our lands.

and it shall answer thee" he was un-
doubtedly living in a country very
similar to Rusk county, Wisconsin, U.

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES
BY Prof B. Mack Dresden

The Model school will open a week
day, Sept. l. Last year a large num-
Der of people was disappointed be-
cause they did not file the names OF
their children in time to be admitted.
The number of children who can be
admitted is limited; nearly all the
seats are already filled. We admit
children in the first six grades. 1t is
suggested that names of children be
filed as soon as possible with the prin-
cipal to avoid disappointment.
The principal has been asked to find
a place where girl can work while at
tending school There is also such a
call for place for young man. Mr..
Dresden will be glad TO hear of such
places.
Graduates from the state graded
schools Of the county who for various
reasons find it impossible to attend
highschoOl before coming to the train
ing school are urged to write either to
the county superintendent or to the
principal Of the training school at
once The legislature has passed some
laws of special interest to them.
A revised course of study has been
prepared and will go into effect this
school year New laws made a revis-
ion necessary The course is stronger
than ever bfore and is strictly up-to-
date.
4 recent visit to the Stevens Point
Normal showed several graduates from
this school in attendance. Syeral OF
the other normal schools in the state
have graduates of this school among
their students. This is a very hopeful
sign. Next summer we hope to have a
summer session here for the benefit OF
the teachers of this county.
Salaries of teachers are good
teachers are scarce. This is a good
time for young people to consider seri-
ously the advisability Of starting train
ing school this fall Better write to the
principal for further information, or,
better still. write him that you are
coming.
In order to fit the young people OF
this county for teaching and to save
them the expense of going away from
home, Rysk, county has organized the
training school. BY attending this
school ana finishing the course a first
grade certificate can be obtained. At
ter the graduate has taught a while
and she wishes to go to Il normal to get
life certificate she will receive full
J credit for the work done here. She can
/, finish the normal in one year. Thus
she can try herself out and at the same
i time she can finish the normal without
any loss of time I'm fact, having had
experience in teaching, she will stand 4
much better chance to get really de-
sirable position Immediately upon
! graduation from the normal

CUNNING EMPLOYERS
CAN'T BREAK STRIKE

NEW YORK. Jan. Is In few
strikes have employers shown such
cunning and arrogance IS private
boat owners IN this city. who have
refused TO accent the suggestion ot
the President o. the United States
that the National War Labor Board
sd'ust differences between them
and their 5000 employees.
The President cabled these in
st-uctions from Europe. after 8
three-days strike that paralyzed

hsrho- The men ask higher WAGES
and an eieht-hour day. and have
returned 10 work. The National
War Labor Board IS hearing the
case. but the boat owners have re
fused 10 be party thereto.
Involved with the private boat
owners Is the War and Navy De
partments. the shipping Board and
the Railroad Administration. Prior
10 the strike an agreement existed
between these five parties and the
workers. A board representing all
concerned was created. but later
the Railroad ADMINISTRATIONS rep
resentstiye resigned. as did the
boat owners. These vacancies were
not filled and the boat owners
claimed that this abrogated the
agreement. The National War La
Dor Board rejected this unusual 20
sition and ordered the agreement
enforced. The boat owners refus-
ed. which caused Joint Chairman
Manly OF the War Labor Board 10
publicly state that the owners had
..contem0tuously refused TO srbi-

The boat owners then seemed 70
realize they we're in an awkward
position and proposed that a COM

commission was to he constituted as
follows
SIX workers selected by the work
ers. six employers selected by the
employers. six employers selected by
the workers and six workers select
sd by 7he employers.
This plan was filled with pitfalls
for the workers and opportunities
for delay. hut the workers accepted
il with the understanding that the
20-dav clause be eliminated and the
commission report as quickly as
possible. This was rejected BY the
employers.
Then the President took q hand
and instructed the National War
Labor Board to take jurisdiction,
The boat owners refused on the
zround that Joint Chairman Manly
vas biased because Of his refer
snce 10 them, although Joint Chair
man Taft had Endorsed these SEN
-iments. The boat owners waXed
indignant, and beat their breasts in
rage that respectable citizens and
honorable business men should be
treated thusly.
The employers are attempting to
canouflage their trickery and their
refusal to arbitrate by attacks on
Joint Chairman Manly.
