Benefit TO RUSK co.
COMPARES RUSK co.
WITH THE WEST

August Jennerman told the farm
editor Monday that before he located
on his 160-acre farm i'll the town of
Big Falls two years ago that he ana
his sons Travelled through five of the
western states and found nothing to
compare with the land and the chances
he secured here. He is still OF the
opinion that this is the best place to
buy land. to live, and start new
home.
He tells Of one bic man who broke
600 acres of land in Montana one year
and sOwcd it to flax. The flax never
came up. This man sunk around
100000 there III a few years by fol
lowing the pillow and dealing with
wheat farmers at his store. Another
farmer told Mr.. Jemerman when he
was there that he had lived there 30
years and he always had money in the
hank when he kept cattle.
Later years he got the pillow fever
and broke up his grazing land and
sOwcd it to wheat. He has raised some
good. big crops of wheat and had many
failures Now he owes every bank he
deals with to the extreme limit OF his
credit. What is worse he can't get
his land back to grass The buffalo
grass. once famous in the west, he de-
stroyed with the pillow. and no other
grass will make Il stand III that dry
country. These men were i'll the high

| ing. and in favor of the clover. cow.
and sheep method Of farming. If ""
| follow that line closely we will all sue

Mr.. Jennerman says his land is easy
to clear and he has big clearing to
| show for Il few weeks work. The
sons, Fred and Paul, will each own
one Of the eighties and set Of new
! buildings will be built on the north
side of the road when needed.

of buildings and we'll improved land

Mr.. Jennerman says that he reads

department is of great use to him il
his farming operation. He says it j:
the best thing a Rusk county settler
can get to help him to prosper. HI
says no Rusk county farmer can affort
to be without the NeWS-Budget.

RUSK COUNTY VS.. KANSAS

Fred Kasl returned Friday from Il
week spent in Kansas.
Mr.. KaSl travelled through Mime
sofa, Iowa Nebraska and Kansas on
the trip and he says small grain and
wheat all along the line is looking fine
and promising for another big crop.
The country is full of last year :
grain and full corn cribs are in evil
dence everywhere. All of this grain
would have been consumed before the
next crops come on if it could have
been sent to the millions of people
who are starving in the old country.
Financial conditions of these old
countries and the excessive cost ot
transportation make the movement as
above suggested impossible. which
causes heavy financial losses here, and
heavier losses of life there. This IS Il
bad condition which often occurs, that
is. one has too much and the other has
too little which causes both to suffer

MISLEADING INFORMATION

We read report III one Of the city
papers last week that the farmers OF
Wisconsin had produced 2,000,000 hogs
last year that brought them S64.000.-
900. This would be an average OF So
per head which would be much too
high When city man reads an item
like that he is apt to think the farm
ers made that amount of money on
hogs when the facts are that if 1000
coo hogs were raised by Wisconsin

ALL. FOR LAKELAND

Lakeand's experience in working for Southern
CT a city all work together Team work-a knowl-
edge of what we wanted and what each had to
do to get it-a determination to stop at nothing
that was fair and honorable general marshall
counted for success So long as a city is controlled
by these feelings it succeed; when it falls i'm
der tho influence Of cllquism. division dssension,
pessmism or personal motive, failure is its penalty.
Fortunately. Lakeland is more closely united
than ever before in its history All its agencies Of
civic, social and moral actMty-ils Chamber oil
Commerce. its Rotary Club and IT'S social and
religious organizations are unsel6shly devot-
ing their best energies 10 making this not only
bigger and more prosperous Lakeland. but a
better city spiritually, morally and intellectually.
Other achievements are needed to attain this
end. Better school houses are essential. Various
municipal Improvements will soon clamor for al
tention The ideal of the City Beautiful" is still
alive, and the coming of the college makes its real
izaticn all the more important
All things can be accomplished by the same UNI
selfish cooperation that distinguished the work for
the college. There is no visible limit to what can
be done here if the public wills it; and so far as
the Telegram can see local sentiment. if not abso-
lutely unanimous on all these purposes, is as
nearly SO as could ever be expected in a city Of
this size

that is needed. 1t must express sentiment of
universal appeal.
But even that is not all. A study of national
hymns, and songs dead to localities, shows that
they all possess the elements of tragedy. They
like the sparks thrown off by human interests in
collision. Try it on any of them. The Mar

presses national determination to the death, The
Star Spangled Banner is pean of rejoicing
that the flag is still there when through the long
hours of the night there was the fear that it
might have come down. Under all these. and a
score of other famous hymns. there are tears as

foot is on its neck" or something which would
give the idea poignancy beyond the mere noion
that Florida is a good place to hive.
The truth is. Florida is happy at present in

CAPITOL OF CAPITAL.

Some of the state papers, referring to the pro
posed change in the seat OF government, spell it
capital. and others capitol" 1t would be next
to impossible To move the capitol. the building
in which state business is transacted. but with
the removal OF the capital the seat of govern
ment. a new capitol could be erected with little
more expense than is proposed to be invested in
Miami Metropolis.
Well. isn't one form of expression just as good
as the other? Moving the capitol and moving
the capital are both hgurative expressions, mean
ing slightly different things. but getting the same
results. Specifically and categoncay what Lake
land wants is TO have the state abandon the old
capitol at I tallahassee and erect new one here,
whereby Lakeland would very appropriately be-
come the state capital" but, if the Metropolis
prefers we shall be just as well satisfied if the
state will designate Lakeland as its capital, and
then proceed to erect a capitol" here.
