Sand Rich with GoId-ApoIIonia to
be Another Denver

Gold has been found in Apollonia.
There is no question about this, and
what is of great Importance, in pay
ing quantities.
While 3. E. Kepner was digging a
post hole in front of the drug store
he noticed the sand and gravel was
filled with yellow specks that looked
like gold. A pan was secured, and
with the assistance of the Budget
scribe, who has had some experience
in that line, the sand and gravel were
washed. At the bottom a large num-
Der of coarse grains resembling gold,
about the size of an onion seed, were
found. On putting them to the acid
test, they proved to be pure gold.
Nothing has been done yet toward a
regular analysis of the gravel, but
one will be made, when it will be
found Just how much to the ton the
sand bears.
The whole formation around here
is favorable for mineral and there is
no telling but what Apollonia will
soon be in the center of vast min
eral development.
Specimens of the gold can be seen
at the Budget office.

The Live Stock Special

Ten or more counties in this state
have already organized horse breed
ers' clubs for mutual assistance and
cooperation. When such cOmmun-
tiles become well organized and
developed it will no longer be
thought necessary to ship" to Eu-
rope in order to purchase a right
good" horse. The million dollars
which have gone there in the last
ten years will then go into the
pockets of American farmers.
For the purpose of stimulating in
terest in the improvement of horse
and other live stock breeding, the
officers of the Wisconsin Live Stock
Breeders Association will during the
first two weeks in June operate a
Live Stock Special through twenty
or more counties in upper Wisconsin.
The train will be accompanied by
such horse experts as Professors
Alexander and John l.. Tormey, Of
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture
and L. P Martiny, of Chippewa Falls,
president of the state live stock asso-
citation. These men, bringing with
them typical representatives of two o
more of the breeds most popular with
Badger state farmers, will speak on
the horse situation of Wisconsin and
will give the horsemen attending an
opportunity to obtain more valuable
information on this important sub
ject.
Rusk county had, at the time the
last count was made, six pure-bred,
four grade, and seven scrub stations.
Rusk county, however, is as we'll
adapted to profitable horse raising
as any section of the state, but un-
til the farmers insist on using only
pure-bred sires, the most rapid pro-
gress will not be made.

DISiNFECT OR DESTROY DIS
EASED SEED POTATOES

Seed potatoes from a diseased crop
may carry the germs of certain dis
eases even though they appear sound
and healthy.
With certain fungus diseases like
the late blight and the wilt disease,
the parasites persist inside the po-
tato tuber. In bad cases, they may
cause the tubers to shrivel with dry
rot" In milder cases there is mere
ly some browning of the flesh. II
any marked discoloration is seen
when cutting seed potatoes, these dis
eased tubers should be rejected If
the brown color is confined to the
! stem end, it will suffice to cut this

will move his family.
E. j. Burgett is one Of those fel-

made good in Ladysmith and doesn t
have to worry whether school keeps
or not. A few years ago he bought
q piece of land short distance south
0f the site now occupied by the hand
some first ward school building. He
didn't have the wherewithal to build,
but he didn't propose to keep pay
ing rent SO he bought lumber and
built small house for himself, pay
ing for it with the rent he otherwise
would have paid-or SO month. He
has built several houses since, and
rents all but the attractive bungalow
which his family occupies. He is
now erecting another pretty bunga-
low. Right across the street, DR..
O'Connor has recently purchased four
acres of the finest kind of land and
Mr.. Burgett has taken the contract
for clearing it.

three blocks southeast of the first
ward school, onto a cement founda

E. A. Page, of Hurley, a watch
maker, engraver and optician, has
purchased the repair and optical de-
partment in A. r. Kleinert's store
and is prepared to do first-class work
along all of these lines. He has
moved his family here.
The Dimock building, somewhat
the worse for wear and tear is now
across from the News-Budget's home.
Mr. Dimock reports a better business
than ever while the building was be-
ing dragged through the street ut
pays to ADVERTISE, and the NOV
ing attracted attention.

Work Started on Brick Warehouse

Work was started Monday on the
large warehouse which the Flambeau
River Lumber Co. is going to erect
diagonally across, to the west, from
the Manley House. This building will

west end of Worden Ave, as it
will be brick veneered and will re-

sheds that have been an eyesore
there.
The ground dimensions of the
building will be approximately 50x

THE RIGHT IDEA.

We have to record here our thanks
to superintendent Walter Edwards
for the courteous way In which he
assisted THE TIMES yesterday in
gathering the news about the Aetna
Powder mill disaster Correct news
with facts, not distorted accounts.
were printed as result
Usually corporation Officials, for
some unknown reason try to block
news efforts in cases of accident Yes
terday it was different
Mr.. Edwards attitude is to be
commended to the other factory
heads in this region A great deal of
the misrepresentation that the public
often has of corporation would be
lessened if more tact and less
churlishess were shown. In enabling
the facts to be known Mr.. Edwards
yesterday performed distinct service
to his company and we are glad &c
tell about it here.

NOW GETTING DOWN TO WORK

The news that Ferdinand Schles-
singer has paid the 100000 for the
site Of his new $1,000. 900 plant in
Hammond will be welcome news to
the people of the Calumet region.
1t eliminates the doubter. It puts
the quietus on the knocker. It
silences the bowler. 1t vindicates
the smile OF the optimist. 1t is a
strange thing that there are scores
Of people who would rather look on
the dark than the bright side of every
question
It Is strange that some minds in
stinctively turn away from the
roseate view of situation and re-
veal in its more somber aspects.
What satisfaction can there be in the
life of a man who is continually
frowning on the JOY of the optimist.
the enthusiast.
Why the worlds builders are en-
thusiasts Enthusiasm sweeps away
obstacles and makes a work ioy.
Enthusiasm expands the imagination
and the imagination afford the
builder a view of his work before it
is done so that he continually has an
objective; an ideal towards which he
strives.
And the optimist glories in the
vindication of his optimism He is
| happiest when the glooms are put tc
rout- y told you So is his motto
His contempt for the pessimist is su.
preme.
These philosophical paragraphs are
merely preliminary to a mention Of
the fact that there were scores OF
people in Hammond who, instead o.
rejoicing over the fact that thc
/ Northwestern Iron Company had 10
Gated here, declared their solemn be
! lief that it would never build.

CLEAN UP JUSTICE COURTS.

To nine out of ten of the litigants
who are forced into the justice courts
in cities Of Indiana it is the court Of
last resort. There is no appeal from
justice courts when the defendant
does not possess the price of the APP
peal bond
For that reason it is right and
Just that as many safeguards be
thrown about the justice court as
possible And the man who will
take advantage of the poor people
who expect him to administer Justice
is the worst sort Of a crook.
In the absence of any legal safe
guards by which the rights of poor
people may be preserved it is time
for the Lake County Bar Association
to take some action against the
lawyers who prey on poverty in
these courts.
The vigorous prosecution of one of
them would make the exploitation of
poor helpless people less attractive
than it has been in the past.

THE EDUCATIONAL HERMIT.

There were in the early days OF the
Christian religion, men who sought
to show loyalty to the cause of heav-
en- by separating themselves entirely
from the things of earth.
They were known as Anchorets.
hermits. ascetics.
They dwelt in caves and lonely
cells, apart from mankind. and many
of them attained great spiritual
eminenco" through separation
But because they excluded from
their thought the real problems Of
mankind. they did not prosper No
one attacked them and compelled
them to forsake their celbate and
solitary lives. but through their very
uselessness. they passed away. and
the earth knew no more.
These strange creatures were but
types of the literary ascetics of our
day. a class o. men whom the modern
state university and technical school
is literally putting out of business.
for the good and sufficient reason
that they have no business. Like
their prototypes in the religious
world. they must pass away from
simple uselessness. We are ready to
swear by DR. E. J James. President
of the Illinois State University. when
he says. In a word, the State Uni-
versity which most fully performs its
functions for the American people.
will stand simply. plainly. unequivo-
oally and uncompromisingl 70,

for leisure. or training for scholar

proper vocation or may be a vocation

sity. is true of other schools. It il
