RUSK COUNTY FAIR
FIFTH ANNUAL EXHIBIT TO BE
HELD AT BRUCE
THREE DAYS, SEPT. 14-15-16
Farmers and Townspeople of Lady
smith Should Unite in Making
Good Showing at Fair

The premium list for the Rusk
County Fair is out-some earlier than
for few years past and it is notice
able that its advertising pages are
well patronized, as usual, by Lady
smith merchants. Now if the farmers
of this vicinity will do as we'll in max
ing entries of agricultural products,
Ladysmith will be we'll represented.
Judging from the display at past
Fairs, one might we'll believe the
assertion made by some Bruce real
estate men that the most productive
farm land lies at the west side of the
county. Let's put Ladysmith on the
map at the Fifth Annual Fair. Some
of our gardeners could make a good
showing.
The free attractions this year will be
something out of the ordinary and the
speed program promises to be good.
Make your plans now to attend the
County Fair "both days" Get

office.

A NARROW ESCAPE
AUTOMOBILE STRUCK BY A 500
ENGINE
AT LOW GRADE CROSSING SUNDAY
Frank Alden and Party Have Mem
orable Experience in Auto
No One Hurt

An accident occurred at the railroad
crossing near the Armstrong boarding
house Sunday afternoon which proves
the necessity of greater safeguards
being placed at some of the crossings
in the city. Had the engine been a
second later or the automobile second
sooner in reaching the crossing, the
accident might have proved fatal to
more than one The enginemen per-
haps do not yet know what happened,
as they did not stop and so far as
known did not see the accident. The
parties in the auto say that neither
the engine bell or whistle were sound
ed for the crossing.
The auto belonged to Sheriff A. E.
Foster and was driven by Frank Alden
of Bruce. The passengers were Mrs.
R. S. Johnson and daughter Gertrude
and little Eddie Foster. The engine
belonged to freight train that was
switching in the yard. Both machines
were going at a good speed and the
auto was simply turned from its
course by the collision to one parallel
with the railroad. Little damage was
done except to front spring of the
auto, which was broken.

Another good rain fell Thursday.

we believe it must be admitted that
on the whole Ladysmith played some
what the better game. There were
very few errors, but one of those on
the part of our team was Unfortunate
ly timid and lost the game. The first
Tony man up took three deliberate and
vicious swipes at the atmosphere, and
ambled to first while Sherburne was
picking up the ball. Through COM
bination of luck, errors and tall run
ming he was able to complete the cir
cult. Ladysmith made more hits,
making three base hits and a two-bag-
ger to two base hits by Tony; Lady
smith put eight men to first, while
only five of the Tony players succeed
ed in reaching the initial bag; Lady
smith struck out more men--but what's
the use? Tony carried away the
laurels.

A NORTH DAKOTA CYCLONE
Cal VanderHoof and Family il
Building Torn to Pieces

Mr.. and Mrs. Cal VanderHoof anc
little son arrived Thursday afternoon
for visit with her parents, Mr.. anc
Mrs. Cy Stanton. They appeared
somewhat excited and on being inter
viewed told of marvellous escape they
had in a cyclone in North Dakota last
Monday. They went from here two
years ago and took a homestead near
WiHiston, N. Dak., which they proved
up on. Crops having failed them this
season, they started to drive to some
point north of there. They had only
gone few miles when storm over
took them and they sought shelter
with their team in the basement of a
large barn, together with several
other persons and teams. The barn
was literally torn to pieces and large
timbers came through into the base
ment, but no man or beast w2s injured.
They Immediately sold their outfit and
took the first train for Ladysmith

LADYSMITB VS.. TONY

The few who visited the base ball
park Sunday enjoyed the opportunity
of witnessing real ball game. 1t
was probably surprise to most of
those in attendance that, in the pres
ent depressed condition of Ladysmith
base ball spirit, team could be got
together that would put up such a
game. 1t was clean, hot game from
start to finish, delightful uncertainty
existing from the time the first ball
went over the plate until the third
man was out in the last half of the
ninth inning.
Both sides deserve nigh credit for
heady playing, but, while Tony cap
tured the one lone score of the day,

Capital Stock Increased

At recent meeting of the stock
holders of the State Bank of Lady
smith, action was taken to increase the
capital stock from $25, 900 to $35, 600
This action was prompted by the rapic
growth of deposits and of business
which the Bank enjoys.
At the time the capital stock was
increased to $35, 900 a semi-annual
dividend of per cent was declared.
The surplus was increased from $4,000
to $4,000 All of the new stock was
Immediately subscribed for at ST. 40.
Thus the new stotk will bring 1000
additional assets to the Bank. The
81, ZOO premiums which the new stock
brings will be placed in the surplus.
This will make the entire surplus $14,
900. The surplus of Bank serves in
the same manner as the capital stock
to protect the depositors. The
strength of a Bank is measured by the
capital stock, the surplus, and the
character and business ability of its
officers and directors. The total work.
ing capital is now $40, 900.
The officers and directors wish at
this time to express appreciation of the
good will and confidence heretofore
shown by the people of our community.
Now, as we start on our second period
of growth, we wish to assure you of
continued courtesies and of larger
capacity with which to properly care
for all business. entrusted to this

TWO GOOD BALL GAMES
HOSE COMPANIES BEAT HOOK
AND LADDER WEDNESDAY
TONY WINS SUNDAYS GAME | TO 0
Small Attendance at Both Games
Shows a Waning OF Base
pclI Enthusiasm
FIREMEN PLAY BALL


The firemen furnished a lively ar
ticle of the national game Wednesday
afternoon, a team picked from the
Hose companies being pitted against a
team of the Hook and Ladder boys.
1t was in way a sort of hare and
tortoise proposition, an exemplification
of the old adage, 'Slow and steady
wins the race" The Hook and Ladder
team threw the hooks into their op-
ponents in the first inning, and their
score mounted to the sixth rung, but
thereafter they took long, long rest,
waking up at the end of the last inning
with the same sinking feeling at the
pit of the stomach that oppressed the
hare as he watched the tortoise waddle
under the wire. The Hose boys made
no phenomenal squirt, but each inning
except the fourth saw an addition to
their score 1t was like playing a
stream of water on a fire, the flames
steadily lessening and finally dis
appearing.

The Automobile Factory

Seldom is it the good fortune of 6
small town to be able to have large
manufacturing establishment settle
down and begin operations, but that
is what happened to Ladysmith Wed
nesday night, when the citizens We're
the guests of the Studebaker Corpora
ton and their local representative, E.
| M. Worden and heard an illustrated
lecture entitled, IAN Automobile Fac
tory in fAction," and an interesting
sight it was, too.
The film shown is 10000 feet long
and covers the eight factories at De-
troit that cost total of as million to
build, shows how automatic machinery
has increased the efficiency of man and
reduced the cost of labor, one set of
machinery being shown that takes the
place of seventy men, shows the i'm
mense foundry, the drop forge plant,
the machining of parts, the assembling,
block testing and road testing, and
shipping, and the chemistry and engi-
neering departments.
Pictures were shown of the chemical
laboratory, where the basis for the
strong guarantee given on the f. M.
F.. and Flanders begins, resultant of
the knowledge obtained there regard
ing the quality of steel and iron used
in their makeup.
Then the foundry was shown in
colors showing seventeen tons of mott
en- metal being poured from the cupo-
la, and one almost felt the perspiration
streaming off from them from the ex-
cessive heat. Next we saw drop forg-
ings being made, for they have en-
tirely done away with castings wher-
ever possible.
From there we saw the machining of
all the parts, the assembling of the en-
CINE, the very heart of the car, then
to the block test room, showing seven
ty-five engines being tested at one
time. Then to the car assembly and
llGIS d iIldSS VI otCCit ILoiis 40ObCA eAhN
wood was transformed into an auto
mobile almost as mysteriously as a
magician changes water to wine by the
magic of his wand.
The road test came next, up hill and
down dale for miles and miles, now
through city streets and over vacant
lots, giving an exhaustive road test.
After this, the finished car is shown,
having the lamps, horn, top and wind
shield attached, and being put in the
freight car for shipment.
The lecture was delivered by Mr.. C..
M. Strieby, an expert from the fac
tory, who not only thoroughly knows
his subject, but has an interesting way
of telling the story and no one hear
ing this lecture could doubt that the
Studebaker Corporation has the largest
automobile factory in the world and
can produce car of the highest quail
ity and class at the very low price that
they do. E. M. WoRDEN, Agent.

Quality is


The Marked Excellence of our
Bakery Goods is outcome of
combination of many years expert
ence in manufacturing, the utmost
caution in the selection of choice
materials and the utmost approved
methods of preparation. These
produce Bakery Goods which give
universal satisfaction. Consider
ing the unexcelled purity and
goodness of these goods, their
small cost is remarkable, for no
bakery goods of similar quality
can be procured anywhere at the
prices placed upon them. This is
what gives our goods their great
advantage over others and has
made them deservedly popular
wherever they are known.
Some goods may be sold at low
er figures and others may equal
them in quality, but these stand
without pier in their combination
of superior quality with Popular
Prices.
