cox CAUSING NO
WORRY TO G. o. p

Chicago, July 6-Republican chief
tains gathered here to formulate
plans for the presidential contest to-
day appeared undisturbed at the
Democratic choice of a nominee from
the home state Of their candidate. AT
ter arrival of Chairman Will Hays to-
day, work was begun on mapping out
the campaign. A series of confer
ences is being arranged.
Chairman Hays refused to discuss
the nomination of Governor Cox. In
stead, he confined himself to lauda-
tion of the personal qualities of Sena-
tor Harding.
The first decision announced was
that Senator Harding would remain
in Ohio during most of the campaign.
The front porch" plan will be en-
phasized more than ever, it was said
while an endeavor will be made "to
satisfy the local pride Of other sec
lions by spreading the word that the
senator will listen to reason
Much satisfaction was expressed at
headquarters in the rumor that Gen
eral Wood and Senator Johnson were
to follow the course set by Governor
Lowden in supporting Senator Hard
ing.
Among leaders gathered are: Jo-
seph B. Healing, Indiana; Lawrence
Y. Sherman, Illinois; Jacob L. Babler,
Missouri; A. r. Hert, Kentucky; Fred
X. Warner, Michigan, and Harry M.
Daugherty, Harding's pre-convention
campaign manager.
Work to be done, Mr.. Hays ex-
planned, is organization Incidental to
expansion of the activities of the cam
paign committee.
Republican leaders who attended
today's conferences indicated that the
League of Nations issue would be ac-
cepted in the presidential campaign,
with democratic inefficiency" as a
secondary issue. 1t was said efforts
would be made to keep prohibition
problems from becoming a leading
issue.
1t was the opinion of party chief
tains that Chicago would be made the
principal headquarters. Clarence B.
Miller, secretary of the Republican
National Committee, will remain here
thruout the campaign and Mr.. Hays
is expected to spend much of his time
in Chicago.
Mr.. Hays expects to be in Chicago
from seven to ten days and will con-
fer with committeeman and leaders
from virtually all of the thirty-two
states west of the Alleghanies.
In statement today he said he
was very happy about the situation

STRAY STREAKS
(By Fluke McFluke.)

Albert Rial says the only time and
thing he heard from and of bee Sim
norman while he was attending the
Frisco convention was when Sim was
caught behind door with one arm
around Bill Bryan in a most loving
sort of an embrace and the two were
drinking grape juice from the same
bottle.
Rev. r. E. Fuqua went down in
the country last Saturday preparatory
to filling an appointment Sunday, and
he left his Lizzy, the last name of
which or whom, is Ford, out and I'M
covered. 1t rairied that night like
blazes and she got soaking wet, so
on Sunday morning he attempted to
crank Lizzy up but to save him, he
could not get her to fire. He wore
himself down, the Preacher / mean,
but there was nothing doing not the
least sign of a spark of life could the
good brother start scintilating thru
Liz. So he borrowed a mule or two
and dragged her about over the coun-
try, but to no avail, she simply re-
fused to work for the parson on this
particular Sabbath A. M. He finally
procured a man to hitch a super-six
to old Liz and had her hauled about
in that manner for considerable
length of time, thinking to timber
her up and getting her 10 barking as
of old, but still she continued to adj
here to the injunction given in the
long ago, that is, to keep the Sab
bath day holy and in it do no
work. The good man gave up, when
an obliging person came along In an
automobile and whisked the preach
er to his place of appointment, which
by-the-way was just about high noon,
when his sermon should have been
in the NOW in conclusion stages"
His congregation, or at least a por-
tion of it, was yet waiting upon him.
The parson was not so powerfully
well acquainted with all of the flock
and as he went up the aisle good
brother came down with outstretched
and open palm, at the same time say
ing my name is FORD. Brother
Fuquas mind Immediately reverted
to his mornings experience. as he re-
marked. "if you are as contrary as
the one l have been working with
during all of the forenoon, l don't
want TO know you, sir!"

LAND is MOVING
FAST AT CONRATH

Frank COnrath. land man of Con-
rath. was in Ladysmith Saturday. Mr..
COnrath had the misfortune to let ii
heavy pole that he was saving fall on
his left knee two weeks ago. with the
result of bending his foot in such a
manner that it has swollen and is very
painful.
This does not stop him from selling
land. and we got the information from
him that he had been selling land all
winter
Sales since January | include 40
acres of wild land ~ miles north of
Conrath to Adolph COnsie, of Conrath.
at $40 per acre Eighty acres were
sold last week at $40 per acre to two
men from Iowa. This land is 21a miles
south Of Conrath. He also sold forty
acres of wild land March 10, two miles
north of Sheldon at $50 per acre.
Another Iowa man bought well
improved 1GO-acre farm seven miles
southwest Of COnrath for $4,000.
Two SO-acre and one 40-acre tracts
of wild land were sold to three men
from Chicago and brought $50 per
acre. This land lays five miles north
east of Conrath. Many sales OF land
are reported all over Rusk county and
it looks like this years sales would
double the sales of 1919.

RUSK BEST COUNTY SAY
LEADING FINANCIERS

The remark made by H. NJ. Jones,
our county agent that Rusk county has
a higher percentage of land that can
be used for agriculture than any OF the
other upper Wisconsin counties. is
borne out by the opinion of other well
posted men, Mr.. Jones says he has
travelled over and worked in many
other counties and believes the state
ment he made to be correct In this
point he has the same opinion as II. a.
MOehlenpah. well known financier,
formerly of Milwaukee, now of Wash
ingtOn. ID. c. Mr.. MOehlenpah stated
to a News-Budget reporter that he had
more confidence in RuSk county than
in any other county in upper Wiscon-
sin, as he considered it had more uni
formly good land. Surely Rusk IS
good county, and the big men of the
United States who make loans on land
are fully informed about it.

ing at the lower figure, it would mean
$500 for each so in the county that
could get such road. The cost OF
l.;lilding this road we estimate as 5000
per acre or less on the two eighties
that face the road. This would amount
to $500 to build so rods of road as

We, the farmers OF Rusk county re-

with any stranger who enters our
gates. and that instead of giving the
shark our note for the amount he
thinks he can skin us out of, we will
go &c our banker and give him the note
and buy. instead Of stocks of which
we know nothing, a pure-bred bull
with q high butter record to replace
the scrub we have been using. We,
who have already got a pure bred bull,
will purchase pure bred cow or

DIR. SIMPSON COMPARES
IOWA WITH RUSK CO.
Better Land Can BE Had Here For
Less Money Than I'm Older
Sections

Dr. Simpson. who has located on a
40-acre farm he owns north of Lady
smith, in an interview with the News
Budget farm editor Monday, stated
that he had lived III Clark county, Wis.
consin. in the early days, where he as
farm. leaving for Iowa in 1873. He
spent over 10 years in the best section
of the corn belt of Iowa and stated
that it had cost the Iowa farmers more
to drain their land than it costs here
to clear ours. The building PROPOSE
ton also has always been in our favor.
Land where the doctor lived in Iowa
is selling up to $500 per acre and the
renters are agreeing to pay $50 per
acre for the use of it for 1920.
Outside of corn, Rusk county land
will produce more income per acre,
gross. than Iowa land. one ton of hay
per acre being the average crop there.
It takes 80 acres of land there to pas
turp as many head Of cattle as we can
pasture here on ten acres, even ii some
stumps are still in the ground.
Iowa is crowding her renters out.
and the doctor thinks Rusk county is
the best place for them to locate, as
land here is very much lower in price
and better in quality than it is in old
er portions of upper Wisconsin. The
doctor gives us relative figures as to
how he bases his conclusions as fol
lows:
Last fall he moved up and located
in Cameron, where he practiced as a
veterinary during the fall and winter
and looked for farm which he could
buy. He found 40 acres two miles
south of Cameron with only fair
buildings and sandy soil that was
priced at $4,000 The doctor says that
this was about the best deal he ran
across and as his work took him out
among the farmers. and he took plenty
of time to look he was in position to
know. Farmers there are prosperous
and are making good money by dairy
ing.
Not being satisfied with anything he
found there he came to- RuSk county
and found the 40-acre farm that he now
owns and bought it for $500. There
is house on this land that would cost
nearly that much to build now. He
has few acres Of high open seeded
land. the balance is swamp which will
he drained some day and make valu-
able land. The doctor bought six
News-Budgets which he will send back
to his friends in Iowa who are looking
for new locations He wants them to
come here.
