Watch for Him
A clever sharper is working an in
genious trick in nearby villages. He
visas various homes and announces
that if he ran get enough subscribers,
each individual agreeing to pay sl, he
will start a local circulating library.
Village folk, gratified at the prospect,
all quickly assent. They readily pay
their dollars, and each is advanced a
book, sort of in the nature of security.
Twenty, 30, 40, maybe 50 persons do
this, each getting a volume, then the
fellow disappears. The book always
is one of the cheap kind, costing not
more than 20 cents; hence to each one
Palmed off the clever chap nets about
80 cents—or $32 if be is able to induce
40 people tu subscribe. At Sharon,
in Walworth county, he got S3O almost
in a single day, and left such a lot of
cheap novula that few victims can be
calls for early work and those who win
these cash awards will be the ones
who pitch into the fray right now and
see their friends and acquaintances
about votes. If you are eligible, enter
the contest at once. If you are
eligible or do not care to compete,

help her win. Vote-getting will nut
be hard nor tiresome when you tnink

SUCCESSOR. TO THE WATERTOWN REPUBLICAN.
MO.N. S. A. COOK
Candidate for the United States Senate—What He Has Done
for the Farmers—A Tried and True Man
Tha nomination of a United States
Senator at the primary election 10 be
held September 1, 1908, is of unusual
importance to the farming and dairy
interests of the state owing to the
great growth of these industries during
the past few years. Wisconisn has
been steadily coming to the Iront in
dairy and farm products, unt.l she
stands among the foremost of the
states of this nation.
One of these who have given of
their time and energy to develone i
these interests is Hon. S. A. Cook of
Neenah, candidate for the nomination
for United States Senator. It is safe
to say that nc man has rendered more
important service for the farmers and
dairymen than Mr. Cook. Regardless
of party affiliation the farmers and
dairymen should tally to the support
of Mr. Cook. Coming from the farm
and still engaged in that industry, he
is naturally interested in problems
affecting tlie farm and dairy interests.
While in Congress he secured the pas
sage of the filled cheese law, which
has meant millions of dollars to the
farmers in Wisconsin and throughout
the country, affecting as it did almost
every branch of the farm industry.
This bill provided that filled cheese
which was an imitation of the real
cheese end cheaply made, but sold in
competition with the genuine article
to the detriment of the honest manu
facturer or dealer, should be branded
for just what it was. At the time of
the passage of this bill Mr. Cook was
highly praised for his work by papers
interested in farming and dairying,
and was warmly endorsed by various
associations ot farmers and dairymen
He has kept up his interest in these
matters since leaving Congress, aiding
them in every possible way,
Mr. Cook also advocated a pure
food law similar to the one recently
HON. JOHN A\. INELSOIN

Representative in Congress from the Second Congressional Dis
trict, a candidate for re-election, and every voter in this section of the
district should vote for him regardless of their political affiliations. He
can be trusted to vote against the re-election of Cannon as Speaker of
the House and for a Revision of the Tariff.

pasred; he introduced in Congress a
bill and urged its passage for a pure
seed law, and furnished the proof
showing that fully one-haif the mix
ture called seed sold to the farmers
had no life germ, and still worse con
tained more or less mixture of foul
seeds; two measures the value of
which agricultural interests will
readily appreciate.
Mr. Cook is a successful business
man, energetic, a believer in the
doctrines, and with his pre
vious experience as mayor, member
of assemuly and congressman, will
make a vauable member ot the Unit
ed States Senate The Primary Elec
tion will be held Sept. Ist, 1908.

people are realizing the many advantages of carrying their

ease with which they can keep accurate tab on their income

always have a receipt for each payment made —either pur
chase or on account —the building up of their credit, forming
the habit of doing business in a business-like way and other
material advantages.

BANK OF WATERTOWN
Established 1854 Capital SIOO,OOO
FIGURE IT OUT
Land at SIOO to $l4O
Or Land at $lB to S2O
Suppose by dint of hard work ami close economy you at last got S3OOO
ahead. What "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 S2OO 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 Sq'Carely. 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 S3OOO would pay for 810 acres, and you need
fear no man. You won’t be troubled with a mortgage hanging over your
head. Lf 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 double 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.
