10 PROMOTE LUNDS
OF WISCONSIN
Land Owners Meet to Form an
Organization.
TO MEET AGAIN AUGUST 11
iy State Should Have Larger Appro
priation Than $7,000 to Attract
Immigrants—Committees Are
Appointed.
Madison —With the appointment of
s membership committee and the deci
sion to meet In Milwaukee again on
Xuguat 11, over fifty WJtaconsln land
owners and agents
Planklnton house de9BW to form a
permanent association for the promo
tion of Wisconsin farm lands.
The men present felt that all land
men In the state should be present
when the final organization Is effect
ed and for that reason postponed ac-
Mon temporarily.
That there was urgent need for an
oiganizatlon in Wisconsin to promote
the Interests of the state, to draw the
Immigrants and land settlers here In
stead of having them pass through to
the western country, has been fell for
some time. It was also declared by
the land men that Wisconsin Imml
frattyil Commissioner A. D. Camp
heUjWith bis $7,000 appropriation, was
hardly handicapped In his work, and
although accomplishing surprising re
sults/ was unable to meet the compe
tition of the organized forces of Can
ada, of the western lands, and of the
southern lands. Mr. Campbell was re
sponsible for yesterday's meeting, hav
ing Issued the call to the land men.
W. 11. Myirea of Wausau, former
attorney general, elected temporary
< hairman, was heartily in favor of the
organization system and one of the
first to second tho movement to fur
ther the advertising method. Ho
would try all possible schemes and
through the co-operation of the state,
land owners, railroaiTs and newspa
pers, as well its through the Milwau
kee and Chicago business men, try and
settle the Wisconsin lands.
It Is of almost as much Interest
to Milwaukee and Chicago commercial
and business men to settle the north
m lands, as It is for us," said P. A.
Matineau of Marinette. "Those are the
two cities that will benefit most. All
produce will go to those markets and
ail goods to supply that country will
bo purchased from Chicago and Mil
waukee people."

pointed to arouse and create more In

Pauline Buell, daughter of state civil
service commissioner, will unveil the
tablet. The bear mound, which Is
one of the finest of its kind In this
region, is 82 feet long. It is now

preservation reasonably certain. The
tablet to mark the mound Is given by
a citizen of Maulson, who has con
tributed much toward parks and other
projects of the city. In this instance
he desires to be not known

bird mound on the grounds of tho

leal society.

sity of Wisconsin, and E. 0 Randall,

Unionists at Watertown.
The Wisconsin State Federation of
Labor opened Its eighteenth annual
convention at Watertown with more
than one hundred delegates present
That the recent political victory of
the Socialists In Milwaukee will be a
vital force in the future expansion of
the federation in the state sems to
be the predominating thought here.
The federation is controlled by Social
ists.
An attack upon the American Feder
ation of Labor was one of the fea
tures of the report of Flank Weber,
business agent of the Federated
Trades council in Milwaukee and gen
eral state organizer. Mr. Weber said;
"There arc now 119 national and in
ternational unions affiliated with the
A. F. of L. Each one is encroaching
on or claiming part of the work of
some other union. This proves beyond
a question of doubt that there could
and should be at least consolidation
of certain national and International
unions.
"According to statistics, the union
men in the United States spend not less
than $1,000,000,000 a year for the ne
cessities of life. \\ hen trade unionists
apply their Immense purchasing row
er then they will have gone a long
way toward obliterating tho wrongs
and Injus" es that exist in our indus
trial system.
"We cannot deny that the wives of
the workmen are greatly at fault that
there Is no greater demand for the
product of union labor The duty of
the husband Is to call the wife's at
fentlon to the principles of trade
unionism.''
State Police Chiefs Meet.

SO many people expect to camp
this summer, for after all that
is the most restful sort ot sum
ni'T recreation, that tho camp
outfitters are busy preparing
itineraries and outfits.
Family parties and groups of friends
aro planning for long or short vaca
tions, and realize that much of the do
light In camping depends on proper
preparation.
Generally a camping outfit consists
cf tints, tent poles, sheet-iron stove
and pipe, tables, chairs, bedding uu i
kitchen utensils. Most ot this is car
ried free by the railroads and all are ,
necessary If the camp life Is to he a
success, it is of prime importune/ that (
the tent be substantial and good. Two
persons can get along with one tent,
but If there are more In the party it
Is well to have throe, one for the
women and one for the men, and a
general moss tent. In this last the
cooking and eating Is done and it
cervos as a general assembly room. A
good tent costs about $lO and should
be made of water-proof sail cloth and
have a window at the end, opposite
the door. Celluloid windows are made
which can be Inserted after the tent |
is purchased. This allows good elreu- 1
latlon of air through the tentroom.
A stove for a small party Is huge
enough with two holes and a three
jointed pipe, but as a stove with four
holes costs only 60 cents or a dollar
more many persons buy the large one.
Borne persons prefer to sleej on pine
boughs covered with green. If a cot
Is taken it should be a spring cot of
the folding variety and with it should
be thick woolen comforters, pillow .
pillow eases, blankets, folding table,
folding chairs, camp stool and looking 1
glass. Every article should be marked
plainly with the owner's name and ad- i
dress. Tin plates, wooden plates, Japa
neue paper napkins, paper tablecloths,
tea kettle, frying pan. water pall, cof
fee and tea pots, knives of various
sizes, candles, candle sticks, ax.
hatchet, hammer, nails, make a fair
list of small utilities. Of course,
spoons, forks ami receptacles for salt
and pepper are Indispensable.
It Is well to take a bolt of mos
quito netting. It forms a protection
for the door, window and to spread
over the cots, ami If a small piece is
shirred In a circle can be used by men
ami women to act as a veil and pro
tect them from those bothersome In
sects.
Of course everyone who camps pie
tures an Meal diet of fresh fish *resh
eggs outter and milk— the first ob
tained from nearby streams and the
last named from a handy and aceorn
mod at Ing farmer Alas, too often dis
illusion follows. The fish will not al
ways bite and the fanner Is not al
ways bandy or always amiable. For
this reason It Is well in take a supply
of emergency groceries as well a* the
eatables that one must hav.- for i vary
day living Ham, bacon, sail pork and
codfish will help out on the days alien
fish or fresh meat cannot be obtained
If the women want a good time they
cannot wish to be cooking, so cookies,
linger snaps, wafers, nuts, raisins,
dat i ' r i ■ t
v hen fresh 'ruit cannot be procured,
ami will obviate cake baking. B.enty

vinegar, olive r,!;. catsup, mustard, ba

should be pack* 1 s< eurelv in a large
box. opened car. -fully and plßcel on
tot f the box, for re not a
a r Be available In a lent.
The would-be camper should by ah
I means try to have a floor to the tent.
! for in split* ot the sentiment attached
i to walking on Mother the fact
Is that it is apt to be and one
ran get enough contact with the earth
outdi ors. If a camp lire is built ever,
night, not far from the tent door, mos
quitoes are driven away and the cigars
of the men also help. Pyrolheum pow
der burned in a small tin will also
send those pests to more congenial
quarters. N'o one will enjoy camping
unless he goes prepared for it In dress.
Mon find llannel shirts, a knotted
handkerchief around the neck, thick
golf stocking and Shoes, soft felt hut,
heav y gloves and an old substantial
suit Indispensable. Women should
wear a short dress of some (hick mate
rial, stout shoes and stockings and a
sunbounel or wide rimmed hat. Both
are lucky If they have rubber suits
for wading In trout streams. Sewing
utensils will he found a necessity al
mo t every day, for tears and buttons
must I e attended to if clothes are to
las. throughout the vacation and as a
rule one outfit Is taken, with changes
of washable portions of dress.
Of course the location Is decided
upon before leaving and If possible a
man is engaged to cart till camping
appurtenances from the train to the
camp Trees and running water make
an ideal combination for a camp, but
rare must be taken that tho spot Is
not malarious or damp. There are
ideal spots In the Blue Ridge moan
tains, In tho A llrondacks, In various
National monuments, such as the Vel
lows tone park, M'ar the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado, In Colorado. Nor does
one need to go far away, for a friend
1> farmer net fur from town may he
willing to rent .g tire for a tent. If It
Is Impossible to sr, any distance.
In planning a a intlng trip it Is imc
essary to know regarding tho game
laws Information <an he obtained
from the game ami fish commissioner
of the state in which tho ramp Is 10-'
rated. A good way to learn of con
venient and enjoyable ramping
grounds Is to write the general pas
senger agent of the railroad which
passes through the desired district
He has a list of desirable places and
will forward this and answer questions
pertaining lo transportation, and often
knows regarding conveniences. In
fact some roads publish literature on
th“ subject. There Is one essential to
both men and women who expect to
camp. This cannot be checked as
baggage but must be taken with the
person. It Is the determination to
have a good time, In make the most
of every pleasure that presents itself,
and to overlook tin* discomforts that
! occasionally creep In no matter how
well the trip has been planned
Equipped with the last desideratum
vie ramping party will he a success
