OLD FANS PLAY BALL
Interesting Game Between Merchants
and Professional Men

"Once a fl n, always fan. =
"There's no fan like an old fam" The
truth of these adages was amply dem
onstrated in the ball game Wednesday
afternoon between team made up
of business men and another made up
of officials and professional men. Many
were inclined to pity the old-timers, the
has -beens, the down-and-outers, the
relics of bygone ages, as they took
their lame and halting way toward the
field of carnage. Once on the tield,
however, sight of the implements of
war and scent of the impending conflict
so aroused the memories of past
achievements that the ravages of Time
were forgotten. The cobwebs of age
dropped from the eyes, rusty joints be-
came flexible, tiabby muscles became
tense, sedateness, slothfulness and dig
nifty fled to the winds, and the old
fellows got into the game with a gusto
and actually ''played some ball. !"
No names having been officially
adopted by the teams, and it not being
considered proper for a family journal
to use the names they called each
other, for purposes of Identification we
will call them the Irreconcilables and
Inconvincibles.
Carow led off for the Inconvincibles,
sending the horsehide to the tall grass,
committing grand larceny of a couple
of bases, and landed safely on the
home plate. The Irreconcilahles failed
to make the circuit, and ended the first
inning without notch on their side of
the stick.
In the second inning the tide turned.
While the Irreconcilables did not meet
the ball as often as their opponents,
they were more fortunate in sending it
out of range, and wild throws on the
part of the enemy assisted in the reg
ularity with which they piled up long
marks. Munroe's curves kept them
guessing, but they managed to get a
run or two each inning, and "every
bit added made little bit more.
The Inconvincibles found the sphere
early and often, but made too many
high infield flies. In the eighth inning
they got their second wind, and put six
men over the plate, but it was too late
to affect anything but the size of the
majority.

COLLEGE At lADYSMITH
CHRISTIAN MINISTER SUBMITS
A PLAN
A GOOD BUSINESS PROPOSITION
Details will be Explained at Mass
Meeting to be Held Next
Monday Evening

A proposition for the establishment
of an industry along a different line
than any heretofore submitted to the
people of Ladysmth is now before Us
for consideration. Former propositions
have been with the intent of utilizing
the raw material of the woods in the
shape of logs and bark and bolts and
minerals. This one is for the develop
ment of the boys and girls not only of
the woods country, but if Rev. 7. f.
Weaver of Marshall, Tex, who is in
the city this week explaining his plans,
can interest our citizens sufficiently to
carry them to fruition, the influence
of his institution will extend out into
nelghboring states in all directions, at
tracing young men and women who
appreciate the value Of a Christian col
lege education.
Mr.. Weaver is man of large ideas
and this plan of his originating may
seem at first thought trife visionary
and beyond the range of our pOssibil-
Lies, but those who have given it con-
sideration have come to the conclusion
that its promoter has figured out all the
ietaiis to nicely and provided for any
contingency that may arise. His ex-
perience in connection with other edu-
,atiOnal institutions has enabled him to
10 this, and, as he says, his sole aim is
% erect a monumentein the hearts of
young men whom he purposes to assist
n getting an education.
We have not the space to give the
olan in detail, but will only attempt
Jrief outline at the present time. Mr..
Weaver will explain it more fully at
mass meeting to be held next Monday
,vening. The college, which is to be
.on-sectarian Christian school, is to be
ocated on a 720-acre tract adjoining
he city. This land will be improved
once on a wholesale plan and brought
'nder cultivation, to give employment
the students who are working their
gay through college and will furnish
upplies for the school and for market.
N experienced agriculturist will be in
1arge of the farm.
Only temporary buildings will b e
'ected at first. AS soon as the school
started it will have influence to bring
contributions from outside sources.
lis will be done by selling l0-acre
ocks of another large tract of land in
is vicinity, thus providing fund for
rmanent buildings. running expenses

land is to be improved and brought
der cultivation, in time, by the labor

THEY'RE ALL FOR BOB
NO TI-LAFoLLETTE CANDI-
DATES IN THE FIELD
A. H. DAHL SOUNDS A WARNING
Progressive Voters Must Look Out
for Candidates who are Wolves
in Sleeps Clothing

The remaining state lands in this
county were offered at public sale here
last Saturday, State Treasurer A. H.
Dahl conducting the sale. The bidding
was not very spirited except in a couple
of cases, it being the concensus of opin-
ion among those who have examined
the lands that the estimates of timber
and consequently the appraised values
of these lands are altogether too high.
Out of 80 descriptions offered for sale
only IL were sold:
Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1910-07-22


Most of these were sold for about the
appraised value, but considerable COM
petition developed in the case of Lot |,
Sec. 8, T. 36, r. A, and Lot 2, Sec. Ia,
T. SO, R. Z. These descriptions were
sought chiefly on account of flowage
rights. The former, which had been
appraised at 81, ,0l2, sold for 81, 800 to
the Fenwood Lumber Co. The latter,
appraised at $1l5, sold for $500 to the
Menasha Wooden Ware Co.
In connection with the sale of these
lands, Mr. Dahl has visited most of the
counties in the northern half of the
state. He reports finding the political
situation warm, and especially deep
interest in the election of u. S. Sena-
tor. In the districts he has visited the
people are firmly imbued with idea that
this is the great, overshadowing issue Of
the campaign. So much of the small
progress that has been made in secur-
ing legislation for the protection of the
peoples rights has been due to the
splendid work of Senator LaFolette,
that the voters believe his defeat would
be little short of a calamity.
Mr.. Dahl notes that there is a sur
prising unanimity of opinion among
legislative candidates upon the question
of the senatorship. He finds practical
ly every candidate for the Legislature
supporting S ena o r LaFollette. or
course he was unable to investigate
the sincerity of these candidates, which
might perhaps b e determined from
their past records, and he expressed no
opinion on that point. In view OF the
bitter fight which Stalwarts have made
upon LaFollette in prior campaigns,
the absence of avowed opposition at
this time looks suspicious. Are the
machine leaders up to their old game of
"playing 'possum'? While making
no active fight are they laying wires to
control" some o f these protessed
Progressive candidates? Under such
conditions it we'll behooves true Pro-
gressives to assure themselves OF the
sincerity of the candidates whom they
support. Mere profession of sympa-
thy with Progressive principles should
count for nothing. If candidates
past record does not show sincere and
active support of those principles, he
should be invited to work in the ranks
and prove himself before assuming to
stand for legislative Office.

1925, 900 MEN TO STRIKE.
40 Trades Unions Will Walk Out
Next SATURDAY..

Philadelphia.-Action fraught with
possible momentous consequences to
Philadelphia was taken by the Central
Labor Union Sunday when that body,
representing 40 unions with a claimed
membership of $4,000, voted to begin
a strike next Saturday in sympathy
with the striking street employees.
This decision came at the end of q
secret session of about 700 delegates in
Labor Lyceum Hall, which lasted more
than six hours. There was apparently
no question that the delegates would
vote to strike, the split being on the
issue whether it would be started i'm
mediately. The more conservative ele-
ment prevailed, however, and the walk
out was put off until next Saturday.
Meanwhile there is hope that the
street railway strike will be a~rbitrated,
despite the repeated declarations of the
transit company, controlling all the
lines in the city, that "there is nothing
to arbitrate."

Out Famine Will Result.

Cleveland, O.-Hundreds of people
have been driven from their homes at
Fremont and other points throughout
Northern Ohio by the floods which
after a 30-hour steady rain, reached
their climax Sunday. The damage to
property will run into many thousands
of dollars, and if the situation is not
relieved by a cold snap or a cessation
of the rain, it is freely predicted that
extreme suffering and restitution will
follow in the next few days.
At Youngstown, Ohio, two of the big.
ened by the rising waters of the Ma
honing river, along the entire valley of
which the water has spread over the
~lowlands, driving the farmers from
their homes.
The Sandusky river is five feet above
the danger line at Bucyrus, and an i'm
mense ice gorge has formed in the
heart of the city.
The most serious conditions are re-
ported from Fremont, where half the
town is under water, and the stores have
been boarded up by the merchants.
At Akron both the Little and Big
Cuyahoga rivers have left their beds.
Practically the whole of Crawford
county is submerged and it is feared
that in remote points in this and other
counties famine may ensue if prompt
measures of relief are not taken.

A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders.

The wrong food and drink cause a
lot of trouble in this world. To
change the food is, the first duty Of
every person that is ill, particularly
from stomach and nervous troubles.
AS an illustrations: A lady in Mo. has,
with her husband, been brought around
to health again by leaving off coffee
and some articles of food that did
not agree with them. They began u.s.
ing Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She
says:
For a number of years l suffered
with stomach, and bowel, trouble
which kept getting worse unutil l was
very i'll most of the time. About four
years ago 1 left off coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and
bowels improved right along, but I was
so reduced in flesh and so nervous that
the least thing would overcome me-.
"Then l changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. l lived on these two prin-
cipally for about four months. Day
by day l gained in flesh and strength
until now the nervous trouble has en-.
tirely disappeared and l feel that l
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 70 years old and he was
troubled for a long time with occa-
sional cramps, and slept badly. Finally
l prevailed upon him to leave off coffee
and take Postum. He had stood out
for a long time, but after he tried
Postum for a few days he found that
he could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.
81 have a brother in California who
has been using Postum for sereral
years; his whole family use it also be-
cause they have had such good results
from it."
