DEFAMATION CONTEST
LADYSMITH WELL REPRESENT
ED AT STANLEY
WIN SECOND AND THIRD PLACES
Enter District Contest at
Wausau Later

The first annual league declamatory-
oratorical contest took place at Stanley
Friday, April 29th, the Abbottsford,
Colby, Ladysmith and Stanley High
schools participating.
Several of our High School students,
chaperoned by Supt. E. c. Gotham and
Misses McFadden and Brewster, accom-
panied the Ladysmith contestants,
Misses Frances Manning and Erma
Miller A High school orchestra also
went along to liven up the spirit of the
company.
In the Oratorical contest, Ladysmith
and Abbotsford were not represented.
Miss Manning spoke first her subject
being ''The Nations Tragedy" 'The
Soul of the Violin" was rendered by
Miss Miller, who was the second
speaker. Four declamations from the
other three schools represented, fol-
lowed.
The judges were the district attorney
of Chippewa County and two professors
from the State Normal at Stevens
Point. Their decision was in favor of
Miss Faye Smith of Stanley, who spoke
''In the Tolls of the enemy" Misses
Manning and Miller were awarded sec
ond and third places respectively.
The chagrin and disappointment of
the Ladysmith aggregation was so
bitter that it was necessary for them
to take out their spite on something,
which they. did on an innocent bass
drum? All returned home Saturday
morning.
The district contest is to be held at
Wausau, when it is expected the local
representatives will again compete.

PREPARE FOR EXHIBITS
EVERY FARMER SHOULD HELP
zs@@ssaADvERTISE COUNTYS 4gsSsssSs
SELECT CHOICE SEED AND GROUND
Now is the Time to Get Ready to
Garry OFF First Prizes at the
County Fair this Fall

Northern Wisconsin will exhibit its
products this fall at the large State
fairs. What will the farmers Of Rusk
County do to help? Commissioner OF
immigration A. D. Campbell is already
making plans to bring before the people
of the more thlckly populated states
the great fertility of the northern part
of the state. Let the farmers show
that their home county can produce
clovers and timothy that cannot be eX-
celled by any state in North America.
Last year Rusk and Chippewa counties
in an exhibit for the northern part of
the state, excelled any state they came
into competition with in barley, pota-
toes, clovers, timothies and apples.
Will you do your share, especially IN
saving choice sheaves of grasses, for IN
them lay the great secret of wealth for
northern Wisconsin. Grass and dairy
regions of America are far more limited
than it's wheat growing area, but
greater wealth lays in them. Wisconsin
has farmers with eighty acre farms
that give greater returns from the
dairy herds kept with their products
than any two hundred forty acre farms
in Canada between Winnipeg and the
Rockies, yet thousands are leaving the
states for Canada, passing by the un-
i IA. %loiN fnr
the only reason that the unbounded
possibilities of their country are un-
known to them. With a little effort,
the farmers of the northern part of the
state could make such display that
would astonish every state in the
Union. With these facts known, in a
few years it would mean a farm on
every eighty acres in Rusk county, and
this in turn would mean large cream
village, distributing their wealth all
over the country; canning factories,
tobacco and potato warehouses will
spring up and far less per cent of
taxation would ensue on account OF the
immense increase of personal property,
and we would need a gift of an Isaiah
to look short way into the future to
see beautiful homes, prosperous farmers
and merchants, happy families, and
thousands of cattle as they pluck the
luscious grasses or contentedly lay in
the sun chewing their cud. The people
would gaze around with pride and say
"This is my own my native land".
Let our fair also be greater success
than before. The officials are putting
forth greater efforts than ever before
to give you all grand time. Do you
realize the fact that every official, lady
or man, have willingly given their time
and paid their own expenses during the
Fair to make it success, for the reason
that they have faith that it will be the
means of bringing to notice our prod
ucts and by that bringing prosperity
for Rusk county. Tom FOSTER,
President of Fair Association.

speaker and expounded the law as to
voting bonds to build roads, which he
advocated although he knew of no

said that towns could vote bonds for
that purpose.

HELP BEAUTIFY LADYSMITH
Woman's Club Urges Cooperation
Along This Line

May, the queen month of the year,
is here. In the language of the old song,
"The green grass is growing all around "
The time for house cleaning and the
earth puts on her new garb. So let us
devote just little time and attention
to making our city more beautiful, with
clean attractive yards and gardens,
adorned with flowers and shrubbery.
Every resident should therefore strive
to do his part to bring about condi-
ton devoutly hoped for, not only from
an aesthetic point of view, but also the
standpoint of general health, comfort
and common pleasure. Just little
attention and effort in this direction
will immeasurably improve the appear
ance of Ladysmth as whole, thereby
adding to the attractiveness of the city.
It is an effort worth while and cannot
fail to be of advantage to the people OF
Ladysmith generally. Who will help?

COMPROMISE ON CLOSING
Stores Will Close at 6 During July
and August

The proposition advocated by the
Woman's Club, mentioned in these col

at 6 o. m. until November, to which
there was objection made by some few
merchants, was compromised this
week by an agreement to close evenings
during the months of July and August.
This is with the exception of Wednes-
days and Saturdays and pay-days.
1t is hoped that the arrangement will
prove so satisfactory that the time will
be extended.

norton to their assessed valuation.
The special committee on county roads
reported unfavorably on this resolution,
but recommended as substitute that
a lew of one-half mill per dollar be
made for the purpose of experimenting
with construction of macadamized
roads. The substitute resolution was
killed
A resolution was then presented,
providing for the issue to bonds to the
amount of $50, 900, for the building and
Improvement of dirt roads, the money
to be distributed among the various
towns in proportion to assessed valua-
ton, and expended under direction Of
the town boards. This met the same
fate.
A resolution was then adopted levy
ing tax of two mills per dollar
for the county road and bri Dig e
fund.- and authorizing the chairman and
county clerk to borrow money on the
strength of the levy. The proceeds of
this tax are to be used; first, to aid the
towns which have voted money to i'm
prove the prospective county roads
within their boundaries; the balance is
to be used to improve the prospective
county roads, the amount spent in each
town to be proportionate to the towns
assessed valuation.
A resolution was adopted appropriat-
ing $40, 900 for the erection of Train
ing School building, the site therefor
to furnished by the City of Lady
smith, per former offer. 1t was pro-
vided that the money be borrowed of
the school fund at b per cent. interest.
The loan will be repaid at the rate of
$500 per year, first payment to be made
this year. V. V. Miller, c. A. Coon
and J A. Boyer were appointed to act
in conjunction with the Training
School board in the erection of the
building.
The board went to Conrath Wednes
