A New Local Company.

D. r. Wolfe has secured bond
and lease of three claims of the Com
ct group owned by T. A. Maher and
has formed limited liability com.
pany composed of local grit, with
headquarters at Thorne. DR.. Rob.
inson, who visited the mine, was
very favorably impressed with what
be saw and thinks that mine actu-
ally exists.
Operations have already begun and
q vigorous campaign of development
work will be prosecuted, two shifts
being now at work. Probably no
mining company has started opera
tions under more favorable auspices.
Though the mine is merely in its
prospect stage, there is a body of ex-
cellent ore ten feet below the surface
which fact alone assures an income
OF several thousa nd dollars. Many
prospectors in the nsighborhood OF
these claims will sanxiously. watch
developments of this promising pro-
perty.

a Coming Horse

Edward Austin Of this city is justly
proud of his two-year-old trotter
"Nikaniss", which took first prize at
the Minnesota Fair, at Chippewa Falls

following to say of the event:
That there is great deal Of inter-
est in colt trotting among Wisconsin
breeders was demonstrated when the
tWo-year-old event was called. Five
Youngsters, all we'll bred and for the
most part good hammered, took the
word. From all over the state breed
ers were on hand to witness the race
and the merits of each of the colts
was the subject of their discussion.
Because of the lateness of the hour
only one heat was raced today, that
going to Nikaniss, owned by Edward
Austin of Neillsville Wis. Nikaniss
was bred by Paul C. Wilson of Menom-
onie, Wis, and is by his handsome
young horse Teddy Grattan, son of
Grattan 2:13, his dam being by Birch
wood, p. 2:15. Thomas Murphy, who

only a few weeks ago, but in 1910

2:58."
Nikaniss also won the second heat
Friday, making the half mile in 1:164.

PUNcTUAL|TY LECTURE
PUPILS MUST ATTEND REGU-
LARLY TO SUCCEED
EVERY DAY MISSED ISA HANDICAP
City Superintendent Gotham Writes
on Necessity OF Regular At
tendance at School

The matter of regular attendance al
school is of much more Importance thar
is usually recognized by the average
citizen. Too many people regard it OF
small consequence if their children stay
out of school day now and then or
even for several days at a time, and
assume that they can go right on with
their class when they return. This is
now and then, even though there should
be no more than 10 or IL such days
during the year, places such a serious
handicap upon a child, especially to the
upper grades or high school, that he is
altogether likely to fail of promotion if
in the grades, or to fail in completing
his studies if in the high school.
1t is true some children can stand
this handicap and still seem to succeed.
This is because some children are un-
usually bright, and can do in one day
what others require two to three days
to do. But this is very unusual, and is
altogether unsafe for a parent to as
sumo that his child is thus blessed.
More often the seeming ability to go
on under such conditions is the range
of success allowed in the basis of pro-
motion or of credit. The mastery of a
subject is indicated by a record of
Excellent " The mastery of three
quarters of subject would be indica ted
by record of Fair Now a pupil
who might secure the former record if
regular, may secure the latter only if
occasionally absent and still be promot-
ed or credited with subject.
But his future depends very largely
upon the degree of mastery of previous
work. So failure often comes as re-
suit of previous irregularity and con-
sequent partial failure.
Again it is almost impossible for an
average student in the high school to
keep in his class at all if he handicaps
himself through absence. Especially is
this true of new studies. We have
three students who were absent prac-
tically four days in succession during
the month just past. Not one of them
has been able to get lesson since in
one new subject that all were pursuing,
although the desire to do so has been
evident. 1t is simply impossible to sue
ceed under odds.
The hunting season will soon open.
Boys that leave school several days for
this purpose, assuming that they can
make up do so at heavy risk, and

PURCHASES PLANT AND BUILDING
Addition of Linotype Makes This

Newspapers in Wisconsin

One more issue of the News Budget

Bell, whose ownership of the Prentice

1t is not our intention to indite our

mated today. What the present pub
lisher's plans for the future are and also
the details of the transfer we will make

Mr.. Bell secures both the plant and
building, the abundant confidence of
financial friends in his ability and integ-
rity enabling him to handle both. He
brings his linotype machine from
Prentice with him., which, with the
present equipment of the News Budget
plant, gives him an equipment equal to
the best country newspaper office in the
state. Of this fact Ladysmith can
we'll feel proud.
For ten years Mr.. Bell has published
the Calumet at Prentice Six years
ago he lost his printing plant by fire,
with no insurance, and since that time
he has paid for new $4,000 plant out
of the earnings of his newspaper. Such
a feat would not be so remarkable in
Ladysmith,. but it would require untir-

1t is source of qualification to the

turn it over to a good clean man, whom
we have every confidence will continue
its operation along upright progressive
lines.
