One of the problems of the poultry
yard is how to supply water to the
fowls in cold weather at such tenn
perature that they will not be chilled
through when they drink. Hot water
is not good for the hen. and she dis
likes it, as does a man, when it is
merely warm Plenty of pure fresh
water is necessity to the laying
hen, and she wants it just cool enough
to quench her thirst. People who
are on the lokout for eggs will see
to it that water is supplied often, and
if possible, in vessels that will not
freeze over or become foul. A vessel
with an outer jacket, something like
fireless cooker, taken into the
house at night, and warmed through
| when it goes to the coops in the
morning, is suggested as meeting the
requirements of the case.

"THE ROSARY SATURDAY MIGHT


Better than a sermon is the com
ment of theatregoers who have at
tended the performances of "The
Rosary" during its three months en-
j gagement in Chicago and it's two
months run in New York City, to see
;; this wonderful play. 1t treats a
great and powerful subject graphic
ally and in such way as to grip
the attention every minute of the
performance.
The play is built upon thorough
ly modern theme. viz: the influence
of thought upon the lives and we'll
being of the men and women of our
present day.
That thought, intangible and eyanes
cent as it is, still is force, a
power, a theory that has for some
time past engaged the serious atten-
ton of our foremost psychologists,
but it's portrayal upon the stage has
been neglected heretofore.
The play attacks the theme boldly.
1t deals with the lives and fortunes
of a little group of people living in
the beautiful West Chester country
near New York City. The husband
is disbeliever in all religion; his
wife, a woman of serious conviction
fai in, hn 0f
unseen. Strong in his belief and
thoroughly human, priest moves
through the subtle story of the play.
When doubts come and the man and
woman's lives are shattered, seem
ingly, beyond human power to re-
pair, this priest analyzes the situa
ton and by that power of his faith
brings both people whom he loves
back to happiness.
Mingled with the darker colors Of
human tragedy is vein of natural
comedy evolved from the events
which occur during the action
The stage settings are unique in
and third acts are laid in charming
interior, showing the atmosphere OF
serene home life, while the fourth
is new church built by this unbe-
lieving husband for his friend, the
priest.
After all the discussion Of the play
during four acts, a wonderful effect
is obtained by the peace and serene
quiet of the church, where the man
and woman who have suffered come
at last to lay their burden down and
find peace.
'The Rosary" will be presented at
Worden's opera house Saturday night

FIVE TEAMS IN FACE
TO REPRESENT NORTH WISCON
SIN IN STATE TOURNAMENT
LADYSMITH STILL HAS CHANCE
Team That Represents This District
Will Have To Be Reckoned
With For Championship

Appleton, Wis, Feb. 3-Although
but d Few teams have really been
eliminated from the race for places
in the eighth annual Wisconsin High
school Basketball tournament TO be
held at Lawrence March 2S, 29 and
80. the race is beginning to narrow
down to a few teams in each division
and there will be merry fight for
places during the next few weeks.
During the first three OF four years
of the tournaments at Lawrence one
defeat would put team out of the
running for place, but each year
more teams try for entrance into
the tournament and this year the
teams appear to be so evenly matched
that team may get into the tour
nament though defeated two or three
times.
Seventy-one high school teams have
been entered for the eight places in
the tournament, and at least ten more
are expected to enter at once, but
the race at present appears to have
narrowed down to thirtysix teams,
or about one-half of those entered,
although it is possible that some OF
the teams which have gotten poor
start may come up at the last and
prove their right to contest for the
state championship.
Twelve of the teams entered from
the East-Central division for the
three places still have an excellent
chance to win place in the tour
nament Those making the best rec
ords to date are: Amigo, Appleton,
Brillion, Fond du Lac, West Green
Bay lola, Menasha, ManitoWoc,
Marshfield, Oshkosh, OcontO and
Sheboygan Several other teams with
good records have not as yet been
entered.
In the Southern division ten teams
are still in the running for the two
places. They are: Brodhead, Column
bus, GAINESVILLE, jefferson, Kenosha,
Madison, Portage, Racine, Sun Pral-
rie and Waukesha.
Several OF the strongest teams in
the Western division have not as yet
entered the contest for the two places
from that section, but of those which
are entered Arcadia, Camp Douglas,
Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire, Green
wood, Mondovi, Menomonie, Stanley
and Viola have the best records.
The Northern division has never
been represented by any other city
than Superior since the tournaments
were instituted at Lawrence, but this
year Ashland, Barron, Ladysmith and
Rice Lake are making a determined
effort to beat out Superior for the
place. Each has the best team that
ever represented the school and the
records submitted so far indicate that
the team which gains admittance to
the tournament from the Northern
division will have to be reckoned with
for the state championship this
SPRING.

CUPID GETS BUSY
FOUR MARRIAGES OF INTEREST
TO LADYSMITH PEOPLE
WEDDING FRIlLS STUNNED
Former Ladysmith Boy and Bride
Steal a March on Their Friends

| The Minneapolis Tribune of Feb. 1
contained the account reproduced be-
low of the marriage of Earle M. Os-
borne to Miss Hazel Drake, of Mimi
eapolis. Earle is we'll known in Lady
smith, having been here for some
time as local manager for Osborne
& Clark. He left Ladysmith about
three years ago. His brides picture
was printed on the front page of the
Tribune, at the head of the write-up
of the wedding. She is evidently a
beautiful young woman.
Fear of the embarrassment of a
large church wedding spurred Dan
Cupid to move the speed lever of his
matrimonial touring car up few
notches and as a result Miss Hazel
Ruby Drake, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
A. N. Drake, 2412 Dupont avenue
south, and Earle NJ Osborne, son Of
,, Mr. and Mrs. c. F. Osborne, 2416 Du-
pont avenue south, were secretly ma
ried Saturday afternoon, Jan.20, by
Rev. Andrew Giles of Hennepin Ave
nue. Methodist church.
Work on wedding gowns for the
bride and bridesmaids came suddenly
to halt when the newly married an
nounced their marriage to friends.
The wedding was to have taken place
early in February and all prepara
tions were being made for it to be
held in Hennepin Avenue church.
But it was the dread of having a
throng of people in church gazing up
the young bride to confide to her
lover that she did not wish to have a
church wedding Her fiance agreed,
and shortly after noon they quietly
stole away from their homes which
adjoin each other and drove in a tax
icab to the home of Dr. Giles and
were married. The parents of the
young couple were the only ones told
of the hurried plan. The announce
ment of their marriage came as a
surprise to their friends.
Since the announcement of the
marriage much entertainment has
been rendered to the married cou-
pie They We're guests of the par
ents of Mrs. Osborne at a dinner
given last Sunday center piece of
white flowers decorated the table.
Covers We're laid for nine. Mr.. and
Mrs. R. o. Morden of the Leaning
ton hotel, entertained the couple at
a dinner given Saturday night in one
of the private dining rooms Of the
hotel. The bride is a sister of Mrs.
Morden. Baskets of pink and white
flowers tied with pink tulle were the
decorations. Covers were laid for 10.
Last Thursday evening, Mr.. and Mrs
Osborne were entertained at the
home of r. B. Ballard, 2124 Dupont
avenue south.
Mr.. and Mrs. Osborne will leave
soon on a honeymoon and will be at
home in Minneapolis after March 1"

REVIEWS SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb S-A re-
view Of the past year in the beet
sugar industry by Richard Wegner,
President of the Wisconsin Sugar
Company, which operates several big
factories in the rural districts OF
Wisconsin, shows that a larger num-
Der of Wisconsin farmers raised
sugar beets last year than ever be-
fore, there being nearly $2,000,000 re-
ceiyed by the farmers from the Wis
consin beet sugar companies in
1911.
The farmers Of Wisconsin, says
Mr. Wagner, have taken up the
raising Of sugar beets to such an
extent that the four beet sugar fac
tories located in this state were
crowded beyond capacity to take care
Of last seasons crop. This indicates
that the growing of sugar beetS is
adapted to Wisconsin soil and eli
mate conditions, and farmers, who
have grown sugar beets since the
industry was first established here
ten years ago, have found that it is
not only a profitable cash crop, but
that the green tops are good feed
for farm stock and that the intensive
cultivation required for the success
Ell of hnnnfitS .
the soil and makes these roots de-
sirable rotation crop.
About thirty thousand acres in
Wisconsin were planted in sugar
beets last season and the crop pro-
duced from these acres was more
than the four existing factories could
conveniently take care of. This COM
pany will increase the capacity OF
it's factories and is considering the
building of several additional factor
les as there are some desirable loca-
tions in the state where enough
beets can be secured but on account
of freight costs, are too far distant
from existing factories.
THE annual consumption of sugar
in Wisconsin amounts to about two
hundred million pounds, representing
ten million dollars, or about $3O,Uoo
Der day. Only about one fourth or
this sugar is now produced IN ,--e
state. but from the progress so far
made it would seem that IN rev
wears all the sugar consumed here
will be produced in Wisconsin. Th-s
will mean that instead of sending
away ten million dollars annually, to
nav our sugar bill, this sum Will re-
main in the state to be widely dls-
tributed among our own people ana
therefore is a double gain.
michigan, where the beet sugar IN
dustrv was commenced only few
voars earlier than in Wisconsin, is
now the largest producer OF sugar IN
tho United States. Last year Mich
loan grew about 100000 acres o. SUI
oar beets, which supplied sixteen
large factories and not only produced
enough sugar for home consumption
but a large surplus distribution for
other states.
"Beet sugar is just as good as cane
sugar. 1t is physically and chemical!
toe same substance and is generally
= much cleaner product because 1t IS
manufactured in cool climate, free
f.o,, osects and flies as compared
with tropical cane sugar, which no'
only contends with the above oDJec-
tions. but frequently lies around for
