At meeting of the Library Board
of the city of Ladysmith, held at the
Carnegie Library building Monday even
ing, Dec. 6, 1909, the following resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, Isabel Conklin, who,
since the organization of the Ladysmith
Public Library in the month of October,
1906, has acted as it's Librarian, has
rendered her resignation to US, there
fore be it
RESOLVED, by the Board of Direct
ors of the said Ladysmth Public Liz
brary, that we accept said resignation
of Miss Conklin, and be it further
RESOLVED, That in accepting said
resignation we express our sincere re-
grets, for by such resignation we lose
the valuable and faithful services of one
who has taken the greatest interest in
Library work in the city of Ladysmith.
Miss Conkln started in her work for
said Library when same was without
books or funds and in the space of three
years has very materially aided said
Library in becoming permanently es-
tablished in one of the most beautiful
library buildings in the state, with sew
eral thousand books and periodicals for
it's patrons. The work of Miss Conklin
has been consistently for the upbuid-
ing and broadening out of the good in
fiuence to be welded by a good public
library and she has been always ready
and willing to aid the Library Board
with suggestions for the advancement
of the work to be performed by said
library. In accepting the resignation
of Miss Conklin, we trust that we will
not lose the benefit of her experience
in Library work and the Library Board
will ever appreciate any assistance she
may render it.

WINTER WEATHER
NOW IN PLENTY
Cold Wave Arrives Sunday with Con.
tinued Zero Temperature-The
Weather Loqqers Want

Many loggers were beginning to look
''blue" last week because of the con-
tinued warm weather, accompanied by
much rain. Sunday afternoon. however,
the cold wave ordered by the weather
bureau arrived and the heavy mud con-
gealed rapidly, making the roads the
toughest ever. The high wind made
the cold more penetrating than it would
have otherwise been. A week of zero
weather after plenty of rain makes a
good foundation for sleighing and log
gers are not anticipating the trouble
making roads which they have expert
enced the past two seasons. A plenti-
full fall of ''the beautiful" now win
assure good sleighing all winter.
The cold wave is general over the
northwest, the thermometer falling
lower than here at points south and
west. About Omaha and Kansas City
a heavy fall of snow interfered with
railroad traffic.

this place.

Christmas stamp is sold at one cent
each by the Wisconsin Anti-Tubercu
losis association to raise money to fight
consumption in Wisconsin. Three mil
lion stamps must be sold before Dec.
81. The stamp is used on letters,
packages and gifts. 1t conveys holi-
day greeting and is besides ''messen-
ger of hope" in the battle against tub
erculosis, the great white plague.
The American Air Cleaning Co., has
offered two similar prizes, one to the
school in Milwaukee selling the most
stamps; the other to any city in Wis
consin over 1000 selling the most stamps
in proportion to population. The small
er places now have an opportunity to
win valuable prize.
The winning city has the privilege of
selecting the school in which the sys-
tenn is to be installed. The Aero vac
uum cleaning system is the most mod
ern and advanced method of cleaning
entire buildings. There is nothing bet
ter for schools, where many children
congregate and disease is easily spread.
There is no dust or dirt where there is
an Aero vacuum cleaning system.
All publlc-spirited citizens should buy
stamps and help their town win this
prize. They cost only one cent each
and will do thousands of dollars worth
of good now and in the future.

chanaxs in Mems Dress.

According to the opinion of Mr..
Thornton, who presided at recent
conference of the foreman tailors Of
London, mems dress will soon under
go a great change. and the present
styles will give away to more classic
garments" Knee breeches and fancy
waistcoats will be introduced. and the
superiority of these garments over to-
days long trousers and waistcoats
will insure their popularity. Rus
sian nobeman who visited London a
few weeks ago said that he carea lit
tie whe.ner the style was introduced
or not; de would adopt it. Two things
were necessary. he said, "shapely
calves and cour .ge." He took with
him AZ walstcoats made of various

switehman.s Strike Continues

Notwithstanding the statement made
by the railroads the fore part of the
week that the strike was broken, our
merchants still have to ship in supplies
by express as there is no perishable
local freight being shipped from the
Twin Cities or Superior. The Switch
men are ''going it alone" the other
unions failing to take any action in
sympathy with them.
1t is reported that the trainmen of
the eastern roads have made demands
for large increase in wages and unless
a settlement is effected the business of
the country maybe tied up by gener-
al strike at that time.

Fear has arisen in the breast of a
New Zealander in England caused by
the announcement that the Dread.
naught which his native country is to
give to the empire will be the thir-
teenth ship presented to the British

ship is not the Dreadnaught but the
hospital ship Maine, which was fitted
up for use in the South African war,
and has since served principally in the
Mediterranean. The Maine was the
gift of Mr. Baker, an American citizen.
