NORTHERN WISCONSIN
Corning to the Front Rapidly
in All Branches, Claims
Man From South.

Wisconsin is gradually taking the
lead in most everything-recrea-
ton, agriculture and general bust
ness. This claim is made by man
from Amigo, says the Amigo Jour
nal, who has Investigated the
South and finds that Northern
Wisconsin" is the topic discussed
by the winter tourist who visits
the Southland, and also by the ma
tive son of Florida who is learning
Of our possibilities.
Here is what the Amigo man
stated to the Journal about the
South's condition:
"You are going to see a big land
boom in northern Wisconsin lake
frontage property within the next
two years." said Jos. Duchac, who
returned yesterday from business
trip Of over six weeks in the South.
Mr.. Duchac spent most of his time
in eastern Tennessee and Georgia,
where there is much farm land for
sale because of the lack of negro
help on the large estates, which
makes it impossible to farm large
tracts. 1T is common" said Mr..
Duchac, ito see an estate of some
5000 acres with only 1000 acres or
so being utilized"
Mr.. Duchac said he saw some
very beautiful farms in some Of
the sections that he passed through,
but he also saw families farming
on land in comparison with which
Langlade county farm land would
be worth a thousand dollars an
acre.
There is as much migration from
the section he visited to Florida as
there is from other sections, he
said. On the road from Macon to
Jacksonville, which is the only
through highway in that section,
you can count a car every three
minutes during the day going to
Florida. He could not understand
this as the climate was very little
different and the land they were
leaving was much better than any
they could find in Florida.
He was surprised in his visits
about the country there of talk
about northern Wisconsin. The
people there, he said, realize that

SURETY co. HAS.
RECORD YEAR IN 1924

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Although
reporting the largest years bust
ness in its history for the year
1924 the American Surety Com
pany's analysis of net claims in
CURED shows big increases over the
previous year in the fidelity bond,
burglary insurance and forgery IN
surance department. However the
official bond side of the business
and the court and depository bond
department in claims Incurred
compared to the previous year
have shown contrasting reductions.
In speaking Of the years show
ing President r. w. Lafrentz says,
Increased business was written by
the American Surety Company in
almost every department during
1924, thereby establishing another
high record for all time. Claims in
Cured were high however and re-
suited in increased loss ratios in
several divisions of the business.
The most favorable factors were
reductions in the amounts Of claims
incurred in those bonds written for
public officials, court bonds and
depository bonds. This last class
showed a reduction in spite of a
large number Of bank closings be-
cause of the exceedingly high
number Of failures during the pre-
Ceding year"

STRONG

Oil and Motor Shares Divide
Interest in Early
Trading
By Internatlonal Nov. servloe.

NEW YORK, Ian. 12.-Interest in
the stock market in the early trad
ing today was about equally divided
between the oil and the motor
stocks. Most of the independent oil
stocks which have gradually been
growing In favor with traders and
investors were unusually active to-
day, while sales in the motor divi.
sion were confined TO a small num-
Der Of stocks, with General Motors
in active leadership.
The favorable position Of the oil
industry and Of the stock Of leading
refiners was emphasized by the com.
plete reports OF gasoline consump-
ton in November. Consumption
and exports in that month reached
the enormous total OF 793, 00O, 900
gallons, an increase or 1913 per cent
over the same month last year.
Buyers Of crude oil in the mid
continent field we're reported to be
paying $1.65 q barrel, against posted
prices of 1925 a barrel: The cur
rent earnings reports Of representa-.
tive companies as a rule make a
much better showing for the last
few months of 1924 than was gen
orally expected.
Leaders in the forward movement
in oil stocks today included Simms,
Independent OH, Louisiana OIL,
Associated Oil, Transcontinental,
Marland and other oil shares which
have been comparatively quiet in
the last sixty days. while stocks in
other sections OF the market were
boiling over.
General Motors rise to TN for a
gain Of 211 points. following last
weeks advance Of three points, was
the feature of the motor stocks,
Mack Trucks lost nearly points
on profit taking and Studebaker wis
inactive.
Shipping stocks were active and
strong, with Marine preferred UP
2H points at 47H; Atlantic Gulf up
2 at 23h. Steel stocks made mod.
est demonstration at the opening Of
the market. but did not attract
much attention. United States Steel
was unusually inactive and slightly
reactionary. Dupont advanced with
the move in General Motors.

CAR
DISTRIBUTION
CHANGED
!. C. c. Bans Practice of As.
signment of Private Coal
GondoIas by Lines

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion today reaffirmed its previous de-
cisiOn holding that the practice Of
the railroads in assigning private
cars ana Ioreign-line cars for railway
fuel to bituminous coal mines, in
excess of the ratable share con-
temporaneously distributed to bitum-
fnous coal mines upon their lines
which do not receive assigned cars
was unjust and unreasonable.
The railroads were ordered to
change their practice with regard
to privately owned coal cars by
March 1. 1925.
The commission was divided on
the question, Commissioners Hall,
Potter and Cox dissenting from
the majority report.
Commissioner Cox said no queS-
ton which has come before the
commission in recent years is more
closely related to the industrial life
of the nation than this case which
deals with the distribution Of coal
cars.
Public utilities, transportation
agencies and other industries, which
are not only intimately associated
with the distribution OF heat, light
anu power, Out Will pTdCCACdiJ
all the necessaries of life as well,
are all dependent upon a regular
and dependable fuel supply" Cox
said.
THE present efficiency in trans
portation is largely dependent upon
an unfailing supply of coal. If
this supply is reduced, or even
restricted, the industrial life OF the
TsfNr fF~Ny tG of "a cd
the public welfare suffers accord.
ingly. 1t is my opinion that the
use Of the assigned car, as well as
private cars, is along the line of
efficiency and economy of opera
ton. They both occupy an i'm
portant place in the field Of eff
cient transportation and their use
should be encouraged rather than
condemned"

WASHINGTON, Feb 21.-At the

Representative William Il. Green. of
Iowa, Chairman of the House Ways

and said without Federal Inherit

Representative Green said he saw
no reason why the next session of
Congress should not largely reduce
income taxes or the maximum rates
should be slashed.
President Coolidge advocated with
drawal of the Inheritance tax as far
as the Federal government was con-
cerned, asserting that the Federal
tax law closely approaches. if it is
not actually, confiscation" and which
