The daily consumption in tniajcity furnished by the city, amounts to 1,300,000 gallons and last Saturday, after Hushing Main street the water in the main well was lowered only five feet. Those, who in the days passed, secured our magnificent system of water works, are entitled to mure credit than they will ever receive, for it has teen a grand thing for the city and will become more valuab'e each succeeding year. .Maj.

Congressman John M. Nelson of Mad ison, the orator of the day was then introduced and delivered a very elo quent address and was listened to with pleasure by the vast audience. He spoke feelingly of the home and its as sociations. That in the home was laid the foundation for patriotism and civic righteousness and then cf the wider Home-coming each bringing the sturdy, uncompromising principles tught by the home fire-side which ought to make for the beat in the hu man heart and consciousness. The address was certainly a grand effort and ?3r. Nelsca left a good impression and added to his popularity in Water town. Frank McGovern of Milwaukee, was then introduced to the audience and in a short, eloquent address made a good impression upon his auditors. He is a good talker—cne cf the best. Julius Ihielmann, a Watertown boy. now mayor of Merrill, was intro duced and made a brief address, full of reminiscences cf the days when he was a lad and lived in Watertown, telling many stories of the gcod old times now only a memory. During the day a Thirty Year club was organized and the following offi cers elected for the ensuing year: President - John Brueeger, Willis ton. North Dakota. Vice President—W. T.

BANK Of WATERTOWN Established 1854 Capital SIOO,OOO FIGURE IT OUT Land at SIOO to SI4O Or Land at SIS to S2O Suppose hy dint of hard work and close economy you at last get S3OOO ahead. W hat are you going to do with it ? Is it your ambition to have a good farm of your own ? Suppose you buy 160 acres at SIOO per acre, pay your S3OOO down and give a mortgage for the balance $13,00 at 5 per cent. How long will it take you to lift that mortgage? Your interest would be $650 per year, and to this you would have to add at least for insurance, taxes and repairs. That’s SBSO you must pay above the expenses of supporting your family. Now you will be doing well if you can succeed in reducing your debt SSOO per year. And how long will it take you to pay for your farm ? Twenty-six years. But suppose you have bad luck, or sickness, or crops fail, so that you can’t even pay your interest. What will you do then ? Or suppose you die; can your widow and children keep up the pay ments and save the farm ? You know they can’t. Face the Situation Squarely. SIOO-an-acre is out of the question. What then? Why, move to a locality where land is as good or better, and is much cheaper. There, your s3<*to would pay for 160 acres, and you need fear no man. You won't be troubled with a mortgage hanging over your head. If you die, your family will be taken care of. The farm will rent for enough to provide them with a good living. Show the courage that your fathers did when they left the old coun try, and go where land is one-fifth of the price of home land. Instead of SIOO an acre, pay $25 for land that will be doable in value in a short time. Land values are increasing rapidly. Don’t Put It Off. Talk it over with C. M. Van Orden. Inspect our lands. It’will cost you but little and may mean everything to you. Texas Gulf Coast, Texas Panhandle, No. Dakota Manitoba, California and Northern Minnesota C. M. VAIN ORDEN LAND DEPARTMENT 117 So.
