MANY VACATION
IN WISCONSIN
Through the Efforts of The Wiscon-
sin, The Land o. Lakes, Inc,
More Will Be Attracted to
State.

To the people from outside the
state of Wisconsin really belongs the
credit for the discovery of Wisconsin
as one of the Nations greatest sum-
mer Fairgrounds.
This is a comparatively recent
development but it is not altogether
strange when it is considered that
even residents of Wisconsin that
element of people whose hobby is
fishing, hunting, canoeing or camp
ing out-have learned only little of
this states unsurpassed facilities
and natural advantages for outdoor
recreation.
Of course, the people of Wisconsin
have fished and hunted ever since
the first pioneer fought his way into
the wilderness of this region, but not
until recently have we begun to
realize how kind the Creator really
was to us; nor have we given serious
consideration to capitalizing this vast
natural asset. And the beauty of it
all is that we can sell our climate and
scenery year after year and still
retain it forever.
The people living in the Middle
West have not been so fortunate as
we and when the hot summer months
roll round they must seek cooler
climes to get away from the hot
pavements and busy business centers.
Wisconsin because of her geo.
graphical location near the large
centers of population is easily ac-
cessible to those living in sections of
our country from where it is a well
known fact the greatest tourist
travel comes from.
Other localities having recreation
to offer have been telling these
people about their advantages and
outdoor attractions for years, and
are reaping the benefit
The campaign of advertising for
Wisconsin's lake regions conducted
by the Wisconsin, The Land o.
Lakes, Inc, is the first successful
effort by the people of Wisconsin to
attract people from all over the
World to "Come to Wisconsin" for
their summer outings.
Many, it is true, have been COM
ing here for their vacations for years
in the past, but never has there been
the influx of tourists like that in
1923. Continuation of this adj
vertising means increasing numbers
each year
Strangers coming into our state
gives US an opportunity to show off
our wares and means the future
development of our resources. 1t
means adding to our taxrolls, the
building up of our lake shore pro-
perties, the development of our in
dustrial resources, the soils, lumber
minerals, unused water power, etc.
If we can get people to come to
Wisconsin we have an opportunity
to interest them in our opportunities.
Wisconsin regards her visitors as
prospective permanent residents.
And many Of them do come back to
stay.
The traveller Of today is the citizen
of tomorrow.

LEVITAN FAVORS
SOLDIERS BONUS
State Treasurer Believes That For
mer Service Men Should Receive
Adjusted Compensation.

Madison-Adjusted compensation
for former service men which will
adequately repay them for their
service during the World war was
advocated by State Treasurer
Solomon Levitan speaking here last
night before a conference of Ameri-
can Legion leaders. Treasurer
Levitan voiced strong opposition to
the tax reduction plan brought forth
by Secretary of Treasury Mellon, de-
claring it to be a political trick"
"The soldiers bonus is not mat
ter for selfish consideration in terms
of dollars and cents but is sacred
duty to which the nation is pledged"
Mr. Levitan declared. "No bonus
proposition that has yet been adj
vanced can adequately compensate
the men who went to war for us.
Former service men are not ask
ing for a reward for patriotic ser
vice. No one would insult them by
offering that The proposal is
merely to give them an adjusted
compensation to pay them for two of
the best years of their lives which
they spent in service.
at is not the rank and file of our
people who are objecting to the bon
us. 1t is big business and the sell
fish interests that are trying to dis
credit an adjusted compensation
proposal The ones who made
millions during the war are now try
ing by propaganda to defeat the
measure which may take from them
a small part of their profits.
Secretary Mellon says that we
cannot have a reduction of taxes
and a soldiers bonus too. At the
same time, he offers tax bill with
its specifically attractive schedule
of tax reduction. Mr. MELONS
move is nothing more than a political
trick Some of the tax experts
should have in mind what has
happened to those who put over the
Teapot Dome transactions,
Mr.. Levitan declared that the
Mellon tax reduction plan would not
touch one man in 20 and that "these
reductions will cut millions from the
tax bills of the rich who are most
able to pay" He said further that
Secretary Mellon predicted the gov
eminent would face a deficit Of
$3.50, 900, 900 last June 80 and that
instead there was a surplus Of over
$500, 100000.
"Official estimates Of the treasury
department have placed the cost of
the bonus at eighty million dollars
year. Mr.. Levitan continued.
at should be pointed out that taxes
could be reduced 1925, 100000 and
the compensation plan still carried
through.
"The government can pay an adj
justed compensation and still reduce
taxes. It can pay the bonus with
out hardship to anyone. Our nation
owes the former service man
square deal. Selfish interests should
not be permitted to blind us into
betraying our duty to those who
fought"

Home Economics Specialist Coming
to Hurley.

Miss Gladys Stillman, extension
specialist of the department of Home
Economics, will hold a meeting at
the court house on Feb. 81 for the
purpose of arranging a series of
meetings relative to extension work
in Home Economics in Iron county
during the coming summer. The
projects to be discussed at this time
are the food and home management
courses. These projects will cover
a series of four meetings to be held
at the following places: Hurley,
Mercer, Saxon and Iron Belt. The
county agent has invited representa-
tives from the Women's clubs from
the above places and would like to
have as many women present as
possible. 1t has been impossible for
the county agent to get in touch
personally with all interested
parties so he would be pleased to
have all those who would like to
attend the future meetings to plan
and attend this first meeting.
Miss Stillman will explain the
subject matter of each project and
at this time the project to be adopted
for the meetings will be decided. We
have been unable to get assistance
in the past and are very lucky to be
able to bring the extension special
lists to Iron county this spring and
summer. Plan to be with us on
February 27, 80 P. M. at the
county agents office in the court
house. Let's make 1924 banner
year for the women of Iron coun-
ty.-Agent Shaffer.

sponsor of the plan.
Humane societies are more neces-

OVER A BILLION
TONS ORE SHIPPED
Since the Opening of the Mines in
the Lake Superior District; Of
fetal Figures Announced.

All shipments of iron ore from the
Lake Superior district in 1928 total
60,S0,003 tons, according to A. ].
Hahn in copyrighted article in the
Iron Trade Review of this week.
This amount added to all prior ship
ments from the time of the opening
of the ranges shows the complete
record as 1,1S4,525,937 tons-a
billion tons of which has been
shipped in the last 25 years.
Shipments in 1928 exceeded those
of 1928, 800, 096-by 1879, 907
tons. They were the largest since
1918. In only two other years,
during the war period, were the
tonnages greater than that of 1928.
In 1917 the total was Ga, 437 ,003 and
in 1916 it was 66,65S,466.
A comparison shows that the aver
age yearly shipment in the last five
years has been 47,349,333 tons,
against 54,7s6,S23 tons average for
the preceding five years, which in
cluded the war years. In the last
five the output has been only S64
per cent as large as during the prior
period When the same comparison
is made as to pig iron, the production
in the last five years is found to be
approximately SO per cent of the
earlier five-year span.
The Lake Superior district sup
piled approximately So per cent of
all the iron ore used in the
manufacture of pig iron in the
United States in 1928. That was the
largest proportion in recent years.
The ability of the Lake Superior
iron mining organization to meet the
requirements is we'll illustrated by
the record of 1923. In 1922 a.
990,096 tons of ore was shipped
from POI mines an increase of 80
per cent in output with only nine
mines to the operating list.
The largest shipment was in 1916
when 66,658,466 tons were shipped
from z33 mines. The average out
put per mine in 1923, 2S9, 428 tons
exceeded the average of 1916, $780,
087 tons, by 3341 tons. In the
volume of output per mine the re
cord of last year shows up better
than the banner season of 1916.
Mine development is ahead of
actual requirements, so that an
increase in ore shipments does not
necessjtate the opening of new
mines, but simply the accelerating OF
operations at those already opened
and equipped.
Shipments were made from 10l
mines on the Mesaba range in 1928;
from 26 on the Gogebic range; 81 on
the Menominee; "a on the Mar
quette; Is on the Guyana, eight on
the Vermillion and two on the
Mayville-Baraboo range.
A remarkable fact about the re-
cord Of mine shipments of 1923 is
that 38 Of the 210 mines account for
nearly one half of all the ore. These
SO mines represent the operations of
the Oliver Iron Mining Co, the
mining subsidiary Of the United
States Steel Corporation. The pro-
portion of the Oliver company's ship
ments to the whole is 1919 per cent.
The total of the subsidlary's ore
shipments in 1928 was 28,074,771
tons, and, therefore, the average
shipment per mine was 1856, 178 tons.
More ore was shipped from the
divers Hull-Rust pit in 1923 than in
any prior year and more than from
