The ladies Admonish

The spring sunshine is apt to re-
mind the householder that the time has
come to clean up and beautify his
house and lot, especially the backyard,
whose unsightly condition after the
neglect of winter calls aloud for atten-
ton. AS Kipling tells the little boy in
the "Just So" song:
The cure for this i'll
Is not to sit still
And frowst with book by the fire;
But to get large hoe
And shovel also,
And dig till you gently perspire. "
The time for cleaning up Ladysmith
is May IT. Let all citizens cooperate
in this good work. If tin cans and
other refuse are placed in barrels or
boxes, teamsters will make the rounds
at an appointed time and cart this de-
bris to the public dumping ground for
a small consideration. The ordinance
for public health provides penalty in
case of dumping along highways or in
any spot within the city limits.
Boating upon the river is to be a
pleasant feature of the Fireman s
tournament. If the residents along
the river bank will kindly clean it, the
beauty of the stream will be greatly
enhanced.
Committees are now inspecting lots,
preparatory to awarding the prizes in
the summer.

waukesha People Busy

Frank Stare, president of the Wau-
kesha Canning Co., was in the city
Wednesday. The company will work
small crew on their 364O-acre ranch
south of Ladysmith this summer, pre-
paratory to clearing another large
tract this fall They now have 600
acres brushed and 60 acres free from
stumps. The cleared land will be crop
ped in oats and potatoes for a year or
two to get it in readiness for raising
seed peas. Mr.. Stare says there is no
truth in the story that the company
has bought land near Ashland. They
were looking at land in that vicinity
before they bought here last year.

Wreck on 500

A wreck caused by head-end col
lision between a tie train on the 500,
and switch engine of the Beldenville
Lumber Co. occurred at the Thornappie
switch about two miles east of Bruce
Saturday afternoon.
1t appears that the switch engine
was preparing to make drop of two
loads of logs when struck by the STAN
dard which shot around the curve at a
high rate of speed. The tender of the
Beldenville engine was torn to pieces,
tank laid across track, platform stand
ing on end and leaning against that
part of the engine where the cab had
been. The levers and valves were all
smashed off and the roof of the cab
was about three hundred feet away.
The pony truck of the standard en-
CINE was derailed as we'll as one drive
wheel. No injuries were sustained ex-
cept by an engineer who has two brok-
en- ribs, and slight dislocation of the
shoulder.

INCREASING TO-
BACC0 ACREAGE
Growing "The Weed" in Rusk CouDs
ty no Longer an Experiment..
Additional Acres TO be Put in

Measured in dollars and cents, to-
bacco promises to be one of the lead
ing products Of Rusk county from this
on. Progressive farmers in various
parts of the county have tried small
patches during the past few years,
with satisfactory results in every in
stance. Last year there were many s.
acre fields, which will gradually be add
ed to in most cases until that acreage is
doubled This year there will be a
great many farmers who have a few
acres which have been under cultiva-
tion sufficient length of time who
will put in their first crop of tobacco.
In fact nearly every progressive far
mer of the county will put in little
tobacco this year.
Among the successful growers of
'the weed" are: The Port Arthur
Farm & Stock Co., j. w. Miller, H. 0.
Bye, A. K. Aspenes, r. A Austin, N.
Whiteford, and A. A. Moses.

RUSk COUNTY
RURAL ORGANIZED
Farmers Telephone Lines Cenaering
in Bruce and Ladysmish CONSOLE
date.-New Lines i'm Prospect

At the adjourned meeting of the
representatives of several of the far
mers' telephone lines, held at the court
house Wednesday, a provisional organi-
, zation was effected by the election of
the following officers, who will perfect
the organization: G. B. Goocher,
president; E. c. Campbell, vice presi
dent; Alden j. Laidlaw, secretary; S.
M. Alvey, treasurer. These with C.
Joyner compose the board of directors.
The consolidation includes the two
lines centering in Bruce and the pro-
posed lines extending south Of Lady
smith. The option at which the Haw-
kins Telephone Co. offered their line
was not accepted, therefore it is not
included in the consolidation. The
directors are now busy securing new
subscriptions of stock, and new lines
will be built as fast as stock can be
secured. The Atlanta line is to be eX-
tended into Murry at once, and one of
the lines to be built south from this
city will reach the "Pea Farm" and
Sheldon. AS soon as practicable it is
proposed to establish local exchanges
at Bruce and Ladysmith, with service
between the two.
If you are booster" and have $25
to invest, just step up to the secre-
tary's desk and plank it down. Next
to good roads, nothing will help to set
tie up northern Wisconsin faster than
rural telephone lines. And telephone
stock as rule is good investment.
The members of the consolidation
committee present were E. F. Brain
erd, C. Joyner and S. M. Alvey of the
Murry Co.; c. K. Ellingson, R. H.
Rhodes and c. P Ellingson of Haw-
kins; E. C. Campbell and F. N. Brain
erd of the Amacoy Co.; E. M. Worden,
G. B. Goocher and A. A. Hadden of
the Ladysmith Co.

in the county seat Tuesday, as prin-

Claire; they have never made their
home in the town or Marshall, except
for occasional visits at the camp; how
ever last fall Mr.. Briggs bought a
forty near the camp, had made known
his intention of living there some time
in the future and was preparing to
make some improvements thereon the
coming season. He has been logging
there for the past three years and had
not voted anywhere for the previous
twelve years. He was bound over to
the circuit court.
