LADYSMITH GETS
THE TOURNAM ENT
State Firemen's Meet to be Here
Next Year.-Track Team to
be Given a Reception

The following telegram was re-
ceived by Fire Chief Manley this
morning from Lake Mills, announc-
ing the result of little pushing for
Ladysmith on the part OF our Fire
laddies, who are attending the state
tournament there this week.
D. F. MANLEY:
Ladysmth gets Tournament next year. Motif
ty Tom Baker and newspapers. MUNRoE.
Tom Baker had promised the boys
500 for the tournament If they
should land it.
The track team of 16 members left
Wednesday morning on the limited,
and if they should be so fortunate as
to carry off first prize, as they were
anticipating, a big reception is being
planned on their arrival home Sat-
urday night.
ID. III. Richards accompanied the
team, and Messrs. Nunroe, Sands,
Simon and Ambrose went the day
previous to attend the convention.
The State Firemen's Tournament
is big undertaking for city like
Laiysmith, a n q means q vast
amount of work for the firemen,
who will need the assistance of prog
ressive citizens. Our hotel accommo-
dations will be inadequate to ac-
commOdate the firemen who will
come from all over the state, and
citizens will have to open their
homes for the accommodation Of the
city's guests.
In order to be eligible to apply for
the tournament our Commercial
Club had to make guarantee of the
fund prescribed by the association.

Working Up County Exhibit

Tom Foster OF Bruce, one OF the
directors of the Rusk County Fair,
has been in this vicinity this week
posting bills for the coming Fair and
working up county display of ag-
ricultural products to be taken to
the North Wisconsin State Fair at
Chippewa Falls and later to other
fairs in the southern part Of the
state. The county supervisors made
an appropriation for this purpose at
their recent meeting, and if the far
mers will cooperate in the move
ment, there is no reason why Rusk
county should not carry off the
prize.

Ladysmith Whips Weyerhauser

The ball game Sunday was comedy
of errors. Owing to the condition of
the diamond, the Weyerhauser nine
was probably handicapped to great
extent, accounting for the inability of
the fielders to play the ball with any de-
gree of speed. The home team showed
the best form that it has developed this
season and with few weeks more
practice should be able to hold its own
with any nine in the county.
In the first inning the home team fell
upon Kelly and literally pounded him
over the diamond, and when the slaught-
er was over, five tallies had been
chalked up. In the second, J. A. Cart
er strained his arm to such an extent
that he had to be relieved; his place be-
ing taken by John Carter. J. A. there
upon was sent to second.
Carter, of the locals, weakened a
trife in the fifth, allowing the visitors
four runs, after which he had them
completely at his mercy, and with the
splendid support that he received, the
visitors made only two runs in the sue
ceeding four innings.
Coey, who was substituted for Kelly
in the third, went to pieces beautifully
in the eighth, allowing five runs. On
the whole, however, he played a better
game than any of his teammates, and
it probably was owing to the poor sup
port that he received that he was not
able to hold the Ladysmith bunch down.
The lineup follows: Ladysmith-Jor-
dan, C; J. A. Carter, p-2b-cf; Kurz, 1b;

Chicago Wool Market.

In the minds of most of the local
merchants the feeling prevailed that
the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent was to be elected, and while
every dealer was disposed to sell wool
it did not take the prospective pur-
chased long to find out that strong
undercurrent held possession of the
market the past week and that only
an occasional lot of wool could be pur-
chased at the prevailing prices in
September and such parcels were not
of the best woods.
While some choice selections have
been marked up, still 1t Is doubtful II
holders can maintain an advance In
prices that shall cover most lines OF
wool. However, the manufacturers
seem to understand that values are as
reasonable as can be expected for all
kinds of wool, and with an improved
movement in woolens the raw mater
iah is sure to be wanted.
There was a fair amount OF new
business transacted for the week I'M
der review that covered many kinds OF
wool, but the sales were individually
small. In the domestic woods the
mediums seemed to be most wanted,
while in the pulled wool department
the demand was more liberal, as the
lower grades were sold with the 9TH
ers especially when the stock could be
probably used by the worsted spin
ners.
There was something doing in terri
tory fleeces, while secured wool was
moved more freely than during the
previous week while much OF the &C.
tivity in the local lofts was caused by
the packing and shipping Of the fieeces
sold within the last ten days.
Conservative merchants are said t.
regret the reported action OF SOM
holders in marking up their woods tw'
and three cents pound today, be
cause of the election Of President
elect Taft, as this smacks of specula
ton when it would perhaps be goo
policy to encourage movement tina
would produce more gradual an
steady advance on the several kinds G
wool offered and thus keep the manu-
facturers interested continually

ears and legs are usually dark brown
or blackish brown, although Is years
ago they were often grayish brown OF
face. The head is hornless and is
slightly larges than the Southdown,
and in the best specimens is covered
with a striking cap Of wool even to
the nostrils, covering all but small
part of the nose. The ears should be
small, short and moderately broad, and
should be we'll covered with short,
fine wool. While the Shropshire is an
lexcellent-backed breed, it also carries
such a depth of body as to usually ap-
pear fairly short of leg. A prominent
feature of good specimens is full
bosom and strong brisket. The rump
sometiems lacks evenness and full
ness, though the thigh and twist may
be excellent. The fleece covers the en-
tire body admirably, being compact

of the first class, being easily ham
died."
We see many fiocks Of sheep on the
farms throughout the country which
are of type ranging all the way from
one of these breeds to another, this
being due to the fact that both breeds
have been used in flock. 1t not in
frequently happens that on graded
flocks, men will use an Oxford ram
one year and a Shropshire another
just whichever animal may be secured
the easiest. However, each breed has
its adaptations, and it is always better
to grade up with one breed.-Americar
