Worst Defeat of Season

The worst defeat of the season was
administered to the local team last
Saturday at Ladysmith. The Lady
smith hall is a duplicate of that at
Phillips, minus the stove-pipe and
shelf, and the guarding of the local
boys could not break up the attack
OF the rivals. The Ladysmith boys
took shots from all parts of the hall,
and through close acquaintance with
the floor were enabled to effectually
prevent Park Falls from resorting to
their usual style of play.
The boys put up a hard fight all
the way through, but lost out because
the members of the other team were
far better shots. The Ladysmith team
deserves to be congratulated on the
sportsmanlike manner in which they
treated their visitors, as does the
referee for the impartial manner in
which he officiated.- Falls Her.

WIFE DESERTER FINALLY CAUGHT
Henry Busse, Of Port Arthur, Appre-
hended After a Long Chase.

Henry BuSse, of Port Arthur, whom
the authorities of Rusk county have
been looking for for some time on
a charge Of wife desertion, was place
under arrest by Sheriff Foster at
Bruce Tuesday night.
He was given hearing in Justice
Manning's court Wednesday after
noon The court found that he had
willfully deserted his family and
bound him over to the circuit court
for trial and placed his bonds at
81 500. BuSse stated that he would
lot live with his wife, but would
agree to contribute to the support OF
the children.
Busse's family consists of his wife
and four small children, ranging in
age from to years. He left them
Sept. %, 1911, ostensibly for Canada,
where he said he was going to look
up a homestead and then send for his
$500 and $500
When he failed to send word to his
wife the sheriff and district attorney
got busy in the effort to locate him.
He was traced from Minneapolis to
Cheyenne, Wyo., thence to Spring
field, Mo, Ft. Wayne, Ind, and to
Waterloo, Iowa He was unsuccess-
Jul in hiding his trail, however, and
the officers kept track of his move
ments. He came to Minneapolis
Jew days ago, boarded SEQ limited
No. 8 Tuesday night for Bruce, it is
suspected to visit an affinity Sher-
iff Foster was on the train and when
Busse got off at Bruce, Foster fol-
lowed him off and asked him his
name He replied that he had nc
name and the sheriff then informed
him that the county was maintaining
l hotel at Ladysmith for fellows that
had that misfortune and extended
Busse such pressing invitation to
accompany him there that Busse
simply couldn't refuse.
When Busse left, his wife had less
than $40 to support the family with
and the generous husband sent her
but $500 while he was away. George

new EDIFICE WILL COST SIS,
Work Will Be Commenced AS Soor
AS Weather Permits.

The stockholders of. the State Bank
of Ladysmith at their annual meet
ing last week, reelected the old
board of directors in it's entirety
They are: d. F. Clark, Rice Lake;
F. w. Tubbs, Darien; r. S. Johnson,
r. H. Burns, w. j. Kermott, r. O.
and J. O. Sinclair, Ladysmith.
The directors then met and re-
elected the officers, as follows: Pres
ident, R. O. Sinclair; Vice President,
D. F. Clark; Cashier, j. O. Sinclair;
Asst Cashier Ben French; 2nd Asst
Mrs Bische1.
The matter, of erecting new bank
building was then taken up. The
phenomenal increase in the banks
business has rendered it imperative
that more room be provided, and it
was decided to erect this summer a
fine new bank to cost in the neigh
borhood of $15 900, on the corner op-
posite the banks present location,
and known as the Welpton corner.
1t is fitting that an institution that
has had such marked success in
Ladysmith as the State Bank should
erect building as the State Bank
erect such building as they have
decided upon, structure that
will be viewed with pride by every
citizen and and edifice that will ty-
pity the strength of this institution.
The building will be 40x60 in size
two stories and a basement, and will
be built of corn-colored brick. 1t will
be an imposing structure. 1t will
face on 2nd ST. with marble columns
on either side of the wide doorway.
The second floor will be occupied
by offices.
Work will be started as soon as
the weather permits and the build
ing will be ready for occupancy by
midsummer.

Why Should Not The Government
Clear Wisconsin Lands?

AS a ground for the use of funds
arising from the sale Of public lands
for the irrigation of private lands, the
Senate committee on irrigation says:
"It is admitted that these lands can
be given away to the railroads or de-
voted to internal improvements, or
the proceeds can be given to educa-
tional or other enterprises or utilized
in any way within the discretion OF
congress-" If such be the case why
not use it to clear land nearest to,
and not the most distant from, the
central markets? Why go to the far
thest corners of the world to do some
thing for the benefit of the people
who want homes?

AN IDEAL REGION.

The Wisconsin Farmer says that
there probably is no crop that is bet
ter adapted to the clay and clayioam
soils of the Lake Superior region and
many sections of upper Wisconsin,
than peas, both the so-called canning
and the dry field variety being well
suited in every way to our conditions
Experiments carried on by the state
demonstrated that peas can be grown
very successfully on such soils, and
the experience of farmers in this
whole region has been equally salts
factory
The yields per acre have been very
good, in some instances running con-
siderably above the normal average.
Moreover the quality is fine, which
of course, is an important consider
alton. Insect pests, such as weevils,
do not seem to attack the crop in
this section as they do farther south
The dreaded pea louise, for example,
has not as yet been much in evidence
During the past season while the pea
crop was very short throughout the
older pea growing sections of the
state, the yields in the vicinity of
the Ashland and Superior stations
as reported by the superintendent, E.
J. Delwiche, were very high, averag-
ing at Ashland for the standard var
ieties grown for seed, over thirty
bushels per acre, while the canning
varieties (Alsaka and Horsfords S
Market Garden) gave a yield of over
twenty bushels Pedigreed strains of
these different varieties which are
now being developed at the Ashland
experimental farm have given still
larger yields.
The facts about this region are
now becoming known generally, and
the publicity is certain to bring rapid
agricultural development AS a dairy

the absence of frost the tendency

some of the irrigated regions this

THE CASH TAX SYSTEM.

One of the progressive measures
of the 1911 legislature was the pass
age of a law, Chapter 500. Laws of
1911, whereby county boards are en-
abled by a majority vote Of all the
members to adopt the cash system
of paying the highway taxes in all
the towns of the county
About one-half of the counties of
the state took advantage of this meas
ure at the recent county board meet
ings, among which are, Ashland, Bar
ron, Buffalo, Chippewa, Columbia
Dane, Douglas, Eau Claire Florence
Grant, Green, Green Lake, Juneau,
kenosha, Lafayette, Lincoln, Mari
nette, Pierce, Portage, Price, Racine,
Rock, Richland, Waupaca, Vernon,
Trempealeau, Walworth, Waukesha
Waushara and Winnebago The old
system of working out the road tax
has proved inefficient and not pro-
ductive of the best results. Men who
work out their road taxes do so usu-
ally without much feeling of respon-
sibility They arrive late, rest fire.
1uently, and leave early. The gener-
al impression prevails that the labor
system of road tax has been far
from a success in most communities.
Within the last few years, most of
the states have abandoned this prac-
tice, and the few states that remain
lnder the old system are fast abolish.
ing it: and Wisconsin will soon be
lmong that number The reason
did not adopt the cash system at
The recent county board meetings
was either through ignorance of the
passage of the law which makes a
cash tax possible, or because the
representatives Of the towns did not
feel that their constituents were
quite ready to adopt the new system.
It is felt however that next fall prac-
tically all counties will vote a cash
tax
The cash system will not take away
any of the power of the supervisors
or road superintendent of road dis
tricts, rather will it increase their
power. The road superintendent can
nire his men when he needs them,
and not have to wait for the conven-
;ence of men who think their time
too valuable to neglect their private
interests for the public welfare, and
instead oil inefficient service per-
formed by men who dictate to the
road superintendent the time of their
labor he can hire men at his own
work for a days wages In other

words, it will make possible dol
lars worth Of work for every dollar
expended Although this law is separ-
ate from the new state aid law
Chapter 337, Laws of 1911, yet it is
in perfect accord with that measure,
and will assist greatly in producing
a better and more equitable system
of road building in the state.

ENDORSING THE ADMINISTRATION
0iIcon Gardner Tells Hcw Taft is
Enthusiastically Endorsed.

Washington, D. c., January "a
Gibson Gardner, one of the most
prominent political writer's in Wash
ington recently expressed a desire
to observe at first hand the manner
in which the Taft administration man
ipulates the patronage brigade for
the purpose of having itself endorsed
and also for the purpose of securing
delegates to the Republican National
Convention.
In travelling through the country
Mr.. Gardner was struck by the enthu-
siasm of the rank and file of Repub-
licans in organizing La Toilette clubs.
He was curious, therefore, to see how
the Taft folks did things. According
ly he went to Roanoke, Virginia, to
attend a meeting of the Republican
state committee Of that state. Here
is Mr.. Gardner's report Of his obser-
vations:
The state committee was called to
order by it's chairman, Congressman
C. B. Slemp. Then Royal E. Cabell,
commissioner of Internal Revenue at
Richmond, Va, salary $4,000; former
ly patronage referee of the Third Vlr-
ginia Congressional district, moved
the appointment of a committee to
draw up resolutions on the subject OF
the Taft administration. Cabell, by
the way. was not a member OF the
state committee.
Next, President Taft was eulogiZed
by Lou P. Summers of Abingdon, Vlr
ginia Summers is collector OF In
ternal Revenue at salary of $4,000.
The committee on resolutions wait
ed impatiently outside the door for
Summers to conclude his remarks.
It's resolutions, praising the Taft ad-
ministration, had been prepared
before the committee on resolutions
was appointed and handed to the
chairman as he left the meeting room
for the ostensible purpose of drafting
resolutions. The resolutions were
adopted without debate or protest.
Mr.. Gardner, being interested to
observe the loyalty of the state COM
mittee members to the Taft admins
