The Ladysmith Lighting Co has re-
Gently bought a new dynamo Of in
creased capacity and more modern
equipment which will be in operation by
the first of January. This was made
necessary by constantly increasing pat
ronage and the consequent overlooking

motors, and if the patronage is suffi-
cient to warrant it, the company may

MORE HUNTERS IN THE WOODS
THAN EVER BEFORE
HUNTING SEASON OPENED TODAY
1924 Licenses Tssued.--Large Num-
bers of Hunters Here From
Southern Counties

The deer hunting season opened to-
day, and for several days past hunters
have been getting into the woods and
arranging their hunting camps. The
new train service on the Chicago divls-
ion has made this favorite point for
leaving the railroad and securing pro-
visions and there are many more hunt
ers from abroad making Ladysmith
their headquarters than in former
years. The records at the county
clerks Office show considerable in
crease in the number hunting licenses
issued, the number to date being 1924,
which is nearly 100 more than ever be-
fore issued during one season. All
along the 500 line hunters are said to
be very numerous, and hunting acci-
dents are expected as result of wild
shoe ting and carelessness.
Ladysmith is almost depopulated of
men, as everyone wants to be in the
woods at the opening of the season:
The weather is favorable, being clear
and cold, and the recent SHOWS, now
disappeared, have left the woods less
noisy than last season.
The game is said to be quite plentiful,
some cruisers even venturing the asser-
tion that it is increasing, notwith-
standing the annual slaughter.

DISCUSSION CONTINUES
Argument on the Subject Of Baptism
Goes Merrily On

Argument on the SUBJECT OF Baptlsm
Goes Merrily On
Monday night Rev. J. E. Watson,
pastor of the NJ E. Church, delivered
his second address in the opera house,
discussing the form of baptism re-
quired by the Christian Church -emer-
sion. The greater part of the time
was taken up in correcting misstate-
ments concerning his former address
upon the subject.
Tuesday night Evangelist Romig re-
viewed Rev. Watson's lecture of the
previous evening, also correcting some
errors concerning his position. He
stated that he had no idea of closing
his meetings at present, nor until after
this discussion ended. This is not the
first time in his long experience as an
evangelist that his position on the sub
ject of Baptism has been publicly chal-
lenged, and he proclaimed his readiness
to fight it out on this line for an indefi-
mite time.
Both nights the opera house was
filled to overfowing.
Mr.. Romig quoted Editor Reed as
saying that he fought to be run out of
town" and the chief of police as ex-
pressing the opinion that the evangelist
was ''a menace to the city" He also
has received an anonymous letter, but
it is of different tone:
Ladysmith. Nov 2, 1910.
Rev. Romig, City.
Dear Brother: Accept the congratu-
lations of the writer and large circle
of admirers of the fearless and christ
ian manner of your evangelistic work
in this city, We all believe that you
are doing excellent work for us, and
would encourage you in the struggle
through which you are passing. Let
the good work continue.
You have large number of support
ers through the city who are interested
in your efforts who may not as yet have
expressed themselves so to you, but
who, nevertheless, are with you in your
good work here. Sincerely,
An earnest listener and
believer in pure Christianity
Rev j. T. Black of Manchester, Ia,
will speak in the Opera House Monday
and Tuesday evenings, Oct. Ia and Is,
on the Methodist side of the discussion
on Baptism that has been going on.
DR.. Black is pastor of very large
church in Iowa and he has been engaged
in some of the greatest debates that
have ever taken place in the country on
the questions at issue. Hear him.

FREDERICK {. HOPKINS LECTURE
Second Number of Lecture Course
November 16

NOVGAUGT Q
If the first number of the Lecture
Course, a concert given by the Italian
Boys last Saturday night, is fair sam
pie this seasons Itogram, those hold
ing season tickets will certainly get
their moneys worth. The opera house
was well filled, the committee having
disposed of a larger number of season
tickets than formerly. The price is
only $1.50 for the five numbers. The
next number will be lecture by Fred
erick E. Hopkins on Nov 16-neAt
Wednesday.
No public speaker on the platform of
to-day refutes more completely the
average idea that a lecture must of
necessity be part of penance for the
hearers than the Rev. Frederick E.
Hopkins. DR.. Hopkins is a brilliant,
magnetic and charming speaker, an
orator, an entertainer, and an educator.
No man in years has made more en-
phatic success with Lyceum audiences.
and certainly not one is better equipped
for the work. Young, of magnetic per-
sonality, with command of language
not exceled by any of his competitors
and, withal, unmistakably the bearer of
a divine message, he brings to the
rostrum an element of which it stands
sorely in need, and we predict for him
certain success among our patrons.

Church finances, which have been
the subject of numerous discussions,
are taken care of in business like
manner at the Congregational church
this year. November was the first
Sunday of the church year. Notices
had been sent out and a good audience
had assembled for the morning service.
1t was announced that pledges for the
expenses of the church for the coming
year were wanted, and within half an
hour more than half the amount had
been subscribed by those present. AS
an aid in securing these, a chart was
displayed, representing the church
budget-about $1,000. 1t was arranged
in eight perpendicular columns, each
representing $144, and divided into
monthly payments of Sd. So, 81 $l.5O,
81. so, 25, and 12a. AS each amount
was subscribed the block was cut out.
1t is expected that quite number of
the Sunday School scholars will pledge
one of the two smaller amounts. The
plan of having collector to make
collections monthly has been found sat-
isfactory this year.
The healthy condition of the Congre-
gational church, which is indicated by
the above incident, is evidence of the
good work being done by the pastor
Rev. G.. FL. Sanders.

BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT
TROOP NO. Ali ORGANIZED TN
LADYSMITH
PART OF GREAT NATIONAL SOCIETY
Rev. Chas. n. Sanders Has Under
taken Management of Small
ARMY of Rows

Some of our citizens have noticed a
! company of boys hurrying along the
street, each carrying staff, or per-
haps you have observed a boy skulking
and hiding, and you have imagined
that he was about to commit some
depreciation; but you have undoubtedly
seen member of the great Boy Scout
movement, for Ladysmith has the 411th
American charter. The Ladysmith
| troop has at present three Patrols of
eight members each, and applications
enough for the fourth patrol. The
headquarters for the present is in the
parlors of the Congregational church.
The Boy Scout movement promises
to be one of the best plans ever de-
vised as an aid in solving the boy prob
lem. The plan is rapidly gripping all
workers with boys the world over.
In England there are nearly 800, 900
members, and organizations have been
formed in nearly all the British Col
onies, in France, Germany, Spain, Rus
sia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Tur-
key, Chile and the Argentine; and now
the movement is spreading over the
United States.
Sir Robert Baden-Powell, father of
the movement, has this to say about
it's object: "The whole object of our
scheme is to seize the boys character
in it's red hot stage of enthusiasm and
to weld it into the right shape and to
encourage and develop its individuality,
so that the boy may become a good
man and voluable citizen
That it contains the elements of USE
full training for boys is very evident
1t takes them out into life in the open
and teaches them to be manly and
brave, gentle and honest. After can
didate has mastered the tests he is re.
quired to take the following oath:
II give my word of honor that will
do my best
l To do my duty to God and my
country.
2 To help other people at all times,
3 To obey the scout law"
The scout is now ready to receive the
badge of "tenderfoot" The badge
contains the Scouts motto "Be Pre-
pared" 1t means that he must be
prepared at any time to do his duty.
This badge represents and is called
Scouts ''life" if he breaks his word of
honor or otherwise disgraces himself,
his ''life" is taken away and he is ex-
PEELED from the patrol.
There are nine clauses in the scout
law; in brief they are as follows:
A scouts honor is to be trusted
2 A scout is loyal to his country, his
officers, his parents and employers.
3 A scouts duty is to useful and help
others.
4 A scout must be friend to all and
brother to every other scout no mat
ter of what social class.
S A scout is courteous. 9
A scout is friend to animals.
A scout obeys orders without ques-
ton.
s A scout smiles and whistles under
all circumstances.
9 A scout is thrifty.
Boys desiring to enroll in the Lady
smith troop, may apply to the Scout
Master, Chas. H. Sanders and receive
the tests; after these have been mas
tered they may receive the oath and be
placed in patrols for regular work with
the troop.
