''FLOWER OF THE
 NORTH" "-ALCAZAR.
Perturbation of James Oliver CurWood'S Great Story
 Full of Action

The Alcazar theatre will present all week the screen adaptation of James Oliver Curwood's famous store Flower of the North" MT. CurwooS needs no introduction to the public He is writer of renowned success and his stories are peculiarly adapted to picturization. This noted authoi truly depicts the life of the northern trappers and tradesmen and in hit work shows his familiarity with theii codes and customs.
 Flower of the North" will staf Pauline Starke, dainty little cinema artist of established merit, and, in her characterization of Jeanne D. Arcambal, a descendant of the old cavaliers of France, she is flawlessly cast. The story contains an abun- dance of red -blooded action softened by the divine love of the two sweet hearts of the vast northern snows.
 The play records the struggles of brave and dauntless man who bat ties and wins against relentless foes. He is opposed by group of unscru- pulous money-crazy financiers who instigate great battle between him and a gang of hired ruffians. It would be difficult to decide just how this story might have ended had it not been for Jeanne. With her passive courage and bravery. she upholds him throughout his terrific struggles with his enemies.

THE OLDEST SETTLER

Gus Anderson is the oldest settler
in the Tony neighborhood, having
landed there in the spring of 1897, and
started his farm in the forest. He
owns so acres where his buildings are
and 40 acres a quarter of mile west
Of there on the river. There is a
clearing of 45 acres ON the home place
and 20 acres are brushed and seeded
on the west forty. The crops and
hay on this farm are very good this
year
The barn on the Anderson farm is
34x70, and is modern He has q
cows bull, six heifers and five calves.
He gets 700 pounds of milk per day.
There is fine driving horse and a
big work horse besides pair of gray
draft horses that are about the best
built team in the county.
In speaking about silage Mr.. An
derson said he preferred corn to any
other kind Of silage. One year he
filled his silo with clover and timothy
and thought the silage was poor on
account of having too much timothy.

ONIONS BETTER HERE
THAN IN IOWA

A clincher for our argument in an
other article in this weeks News-Bud-
get that our cleared land will produce
more net returns than the corn belt
land, is furnished by the following
item:
Geo. Moe came from the onion grow
ing region in Mitchell county, Iowa,
four years ago and located on an So
acre tract of wild land liz miles west
of hurry. The farm he occupied in
Iowa sold after he moved away for
$1,000 per acre. Mr.. Moe raised an
acre of onions on his hurry farm last
year. He sold them from the field
for $500 and would have got nearly
$1,000 more for them on this springs
market. This year he is raising a
bigger patch of onions and expects to
have a carload to ship.
Mr. Moe said that his Rusk county
land would produce more bushels of
onions per acre than he raised on the
$1,000 per acre farm he left in Iowa.
He has brushed about 40 acres of his
land, % to 80 acres of it is full of
clover and timothy and 10 to II
acres of it is under the pillow. He has
log house and log barn on his land.

BIG FALLS MEN
ARE GROWING CLOVER

Lars Lindahl and E. Burke, of the
town of Big Falls were in Ladysmith
Monday. These men were telling
about the clover they had raised on
brushed and burned over land by SOW
ing the seed broadcast early in the
spring of last year. Mr.. Lindahl has
ten acres of clover and Mr.. Burke has
clover on most of his forty.
Mr.. Lindahl said that settlers who
followed the "Rusk County Plan"
would get on their feet quicker than
those following any other method. He
commented on the article in the News
Budget of a few weeks ago which
stated that Glover was gold and cash
crops were jingling brass" He said
that article hit the nail ON the head.
These men claim they are not eager
to pillow green land for cash crops but
very much prefer to build UP their
land by the clover route without plow-
ing.

more wealth to the county. When a
man labors and builds up a fine farm
home with well cleared fields he is
inreasing the total values of Rusk
county. By keeping the price of wild
land down it gives a settler a chance
to make a good profit from his labors
which he certainly is entitled to. All
Chamber of Commerce clubs, real es-
tate boards and dealers, merchants,
and farmers, can do their part in this
movement. The former can advertise
in farm papers and with booklets, and
the latter can help the proposition
along by writing letters and sending
their local papers back home to
friends and relatives.
Other counties are advertising their
territory continually and Rusk coun-
ty should get busy at once if they de-
sire to get their share of the settlers
who are constantly drifting away
from the high priced dried out lands
of the corn belt to countries where
the land is cheaper and the opportuni-
ties are greater.

CLEARED LAND
VS.. WILD LAND

There is lot of easily cleared land
in Rusk county that could be cleared
for $40 to $25 per acre, leveled off, and
made to produce full crops of hay.
This is the work for the reclamation
act to accomplish, and as it gets to 60
ing private capitalists will probably
follow suit and put money into clear
ing of lands which they have mort
cages ON. Cleared land here will pay
interest on 5000 per acre valuation,
while wild land has little production

GOOD FARMING
COMMUNITY
Farmers in Southwest Corner
of Rusk Have Fine Farms
and Buildings

There is big settlement in the
southwest corner of Rusk county and
the counties adjoining that surpasses
a lot of this northern country in fine
farm buildings and number OF cleared
acres per farm. Dairying is a big
factor in this settlement which is
largely composed of good Bohemian
farmers, many of whom settled there
in wilderness nineteen years ago.
Below we give the particulars on three
of these farms which are fair COM
parsons of the majority of the farms
there.
Paul Hess
Paul Hess is a German farmer who
purchased one of these farms five
years ago. He owns 100 acres in Rusk
county and so acres in Chippewa
county. He has $50 acres under the
pillow and % acres of pasture prac-
tically cleared and seeded. The bal
ance of his land is in pasture with
more or less brush and timber on it.
Since moving onto this farm Mr.. Hess
has cleared 80 acres and broke 20
acres of the above mentioned cleared
land. Two big sons help with the
work and besides four horses, they
have a tractor outfit to pillow and fill
silos with. They have two silOs,
barn 32x74 with cattle sheds on the
sides, They have good dwelling
house.
Big Acreage i'm Crops
The crops this year besides clover
are Is acres of potatoes, so acres of
oats, So acres of corn, 10 acres of rye
and 5 acres Of barley. The rye stood
six feet high last week. Glover is
better this year than last, but the
corn is not as good there. The soil on
this farm is sandy loan and very pro-
ductive This is my choice Of soil
for Northern Wisconsin and I prefer
it to the heavy clay SOIL" said Mr..
Hess.
Joe Maics
Joe Maics is one of the old Bohe-
milan settlers who owns 200 acres OF
fine land in this neighborhood. He
has 80 acres under the pillow on his
home forty and about 100 acres more
on his other land. He has new barn
about 24x70, and it is well equipped.
His house is a good one and is
modern with electric lights. Plans
are made for water system. Six
horses and 30 head of cattle are kept
on this farm. A big son and daugh-
ter help with the work.
Joe JanOda
Joe Janoda is another of the old
time Bohemian settlers and owns 200
acres of land. He has lived there 10
years and has IS acres under the pillow.
He has a good big stone house and a
barn about 34X70, which is well
equipped to take care of the thirty
head of cattle and the five horses that
he keeps. Mr.. Janoda has, like the
rest of his neighbOrs, prOspered since
coming to his land. The latter years
have been the best and as more land
is brought into shape to produce hay,
pasture and crops, the prosperity of
this settlement increases
