plctcd for the banquet to inaugurate
RuSk County's Million Dollar land
clearing contest next Wednesday even
ing at the army and navy club rooms,
ut $50 The banquet itself will in
clude one of the finest spreads ever
served ut Il gathering of this kind and
is under the supervision of the War
Mothers.
\ gathering of some of the hest
speakers in the state will be ON the
program, headed by f. w. Luening,
associate editor of the Cloverland Mag
azine and former secretary of the Mil
waukee Association of Commerce. Il.
G. Packer. Commissioner of Immigra-
tion, and G.. l.. Norgord, Land Commits
si0ner, of Madison. are also ON the
program.
As the project will be countrywide in
its scope and in its benefits, invitations
have been sent to each member of the
County Board. 1t is expected that the
biggest gathering Of Rusk county's
leading business men and farmers will
be on hand at this banquet as the pur-
pose of the project is without doubt
one of the biggest and best things ever
attempted by any county in the state
The contest itself will be open to all
farmers in all parts of Rusk county
and the plan is to divide the county
into districts. each district to have dis
ti'ict prizes besides the leading prizes
for the whole county to those who
clear the greatest number of acres in
the best shape The real big feature
attached to the plan is that the c0un-
ty agent will he enabled to secure
large amounts OF dynamite at greatly
reduced prices and the more contest
ants entered. the cheaper the dynamite
as it will be purchased in large guam
titles
The purpose of the opening meeting
and banquet is to select county com
mttee to be in charge Of the entire
project and a good representation from
each town and township in the county
is absolutely necessary to the success
of the plan. The prizes to be awarded
will be attractive enough to justify Il
very large enrolment of contestants
and there will be very large list. As
all plans cannot be made until the
county committee is selected, we are
not able to state here the list of
prizes, but the complete list will he
given in next weeks issue.

WILSON TO COLONIZE
FARMS NEAR CRANE

Henry Wilson, who owns several
pieces of land near Crane will improve
them on the colonization basis. He
has bought two houses in Crane and
will move them to this land, build
barns, clear a few acres or do any
thing else that his buyers want.
1t is mighty fine thing for the set
tier if he can get land that is ready TO
move onto so that he can begin to clear
land and put out Il garden and raise
some potatoes the first year. More of
this kind of farms should be fixed mp

S. II. Galley and II. J.. Topliff, of

town to Ladysmith Thursday. They
report the roads fair and claim to have
been stalled only once on the way

skill and ingenuity, the car, Ford

width so that the wheels are the same
distance apart as the runners of an

all subsidiary property.
