 And chat about the crop, The men say things sarcastic And words like spinach drop. The barber is disgustcd. But what care I for that? On comforts solid platform Youn find me standing pat. When nature took the trouble TO mold my classic form She hung a fringe of whiskers To keep my features warm. Should l be so prcsumptuous, So silly or so smart To paint, as 'twere, the lily or try tO slur her art? No: nature knew her business, And that alfalfa crop Her cunning fingers planted No right have to chop. She went to all the trouble
 To put them there, and so I'm going to be a hero
 And let my whiskers grow. P. S.-If my wife will let me.

BACCALAUREATE SERMON

Rev. Thomas Barker preached the
Baccalaureate sermon to the gradual
ing class of the High School at the
opera house Sunday evening. He took
his text from Luke 17:7-10. The sub
ject was Steadfastness to Duty. He
said that "Duty" stands at the founda-
tion of all nobility and faithfulness. 1t
is one of the key-words of Christianity.
The example of Jesus teaches us to
march forward in the paths of duty.
Mr.. Barker cited several examples
along this line: Hon. William Ewart
Gladstone, the "Grand Old Man" of
England; Betsey Ross, the maker of the
American flag; Whitney, the inventor
of the cotton gin; Trevethick, the in
ventor of the first locomotive; Koenig
the inventor of the power printing
press; Howe, the inventor of the first
sewing machine. People who do their
duty never become back numbers. To

PROSPECTING FOR
COPPER CONTINUES
Rich Deposits South Of This City
Still being lnvestigated.-Ma
Visitors Interested

Although those who have inside"
information are very close mouthed, it
is noticed that during the past few
months many visitors to this city have
journeyed southwark about six miles to
the "copper" country" carrying away
with them specimens of the ore which
has been drilled out by the first pro-
spectors of that vicinity. 1t is said
that a company is being organized to
conduct thorough investigation of the
extent and quality of the deposits.
That copper exists there is admitted
by all who know anything about it,
and that secured from the greatest
depths to which the drill has penetrat-
ed is said to be quite rich. The To-
cation is not great distance from the
railroad and the question of profitable
mining is the one to be determined be-
fore another industry will be added to
the development of Rusk county.

new DAM UP
THE FLAMBEAU
Work Begun on Menasha Wooden
Ware Co.'s Water Power Fran
chise Four Miles North

VIM. Schug and a force of twenty
men began work Monday clearing for
the new dam to be constructed this sea-
son by the Menasha Wooden Ware Co.
at Chris Swanson's place on the F'lam-
beau four miles northeast of this city.
This power will not be used by the
Wooden Ware Co., but will be for rent.
No contract for it's use has yet been
made, although there is rumor OF a
pulp board mill being put in there. The
sidetrack to be put in for the new sui
phite mill in this city will probably be
extended to the new dam if there is
demand for it. There is also some talk
of converting the power into electricity
and transmitting it to this city.
The dam is located at the foot of a
rapids and still another dam has been
surveyed only a mile above. This is
the fourth dam to be built on the Flam-
beau within ten miles of Ladysmith.

Edward w. Richardson of Hawkins,
with the voice and bearing of an orator,
carried his hearers through the mazes
of old-world history to show how
''The Balance of Power" has been pre-
served by jealous rulers of Europe and
Asia by the making of alliances for the
purpose of self-preservation. Fore
casting, the speaker predicted that un-
less France succeeded in making alli-
ance with Great Britain she will have
a war with Germany which will result
in the obliteration of France and the
ultimate destruction of the balance of
power.
The oratorical numbers were inter-
