Noted Horsemen Will Accompany
olive Stock Special"

That draft horse breeding has not
made the progress in Wisconsin it
should, is the firm conviction OF Dr.,
A. S. Alexander of the state depart
ment of horse breeding, who, very
likely, will accompany the special
demonstration train of the Wlscon-
sin Stock Breeders Association on
it's tour of upper Wisconsin coun-
ties.
In his opinion, had some definite,
practicable and well organized plan
been followed in the use of the large
number of Percheron, Belgian,
Clydesdale, Shire and Suffolk stall
lions. which have been brought into
the state during the past 80 years,
much more Improvement would have
resulted.

used. exclusively, i'll a county for a

such breed centers in the state, but
instead there are but very few, If
any. Everywhere the breeds have
been indiscriminately mixed. Indeed
both heavy and light breeds have

GIBSON'S MAKE A HIT

The "24" Club gave another very
delightful dancing party at their hall
Wednesday evening, there being
about 20 couples present. Music, en-
trarcingly scft and perfect in time,
was furnished by Gibsons Harp
Orchestra, of Appleton, for whom
many compliments were heard. This
was the first appearance in Lady
smith of this orchestra, but We dare
say it will not be the last.

admixture of alien blood

ployment of pure bred sires, without
admixture of alien blood.
During the past ten years, how
ever. Wisconsin has made consider
able progress in horse breeding. In
1900 the valuation of our cattle, for
example, was greater than the valua-
ton of our horses, but in 1910 this
situation was reversed. The valua-
ton of horses in the last ten years
increased 100 per cent while the val
uation of cattle increased but 43 per
cent Strong evidences of improve
ment have become even more appar
ent during the last four years, when
thirteen out of every 100 grade stall
lions have been replaced by pure
bred sires This is a very encour
aging record and, evidently, will be
cause the profits from the breeding
of better horses are becoming more
and more apparent.
There would seem to be no good
reason why we can not have COM
munity breeding of horses as we'll as
Of cattle. If one community would
stick to one breed, alone, it would
soon become famous as a horse cen
ter. In 1910 a small Holstein coun-
ty in Wisconsin sold 100000 worth
of live stock This was brought
about through cooperation and or

the attendance will be large. Other
towns where the special will stop
are making big preparations to in
sure a successful meeting.
All kinds Of blooded cattle are car

ing experts will accompany the train.
Later-Editor Andrews, cf Bruce,
writes us that, through the efforts Of
enterprising citizens Of that town, the

for a stop at Bruce, which will be
on Wednesday, June II, from 800

Memorial Sunday Observance

Last Sunday was Memorial Sunday
and at 1880 in the afternoon the
patriotic orders of G. A. r., w. R. c.
and S. of ", met at the G. A. r.
hall and marched in a body to ST.
Mary's Catholic church, which was
beautifully trimmed with flags, bunt-
ing and liberty bells for the occasion,
where services appropriate to the
day were conducted.
AS the orders took seats of hon
or the church choir sang Lead
Kindly Light" Then Father Bau-
man, o. S. NJ, prior of st. Mary S
church, in a beautiful prayer
asked Gods blessings upon the coun-
try, people, and the officers of city,
state and nation.
Following the prayer. Father Bau-
man delivered a memorial address
in which he traced the soldier from
his peaceful home through the war
and return He compared these he
roes to the soldiers of Christ, in
| their steadfastness . in battle, and
hoped that the lesson of patriotism
that they had taught would not be
| forgotten.
! Then, after singing of pray for
the Dead" "O'Salutaris" and "Tan-
tum Ergo" by the choir, Father Bau.
man gave the blessing with the sac
rament and the choir finished the
program by singing "Laudate Puerr
and Nearer My God to Thee"

HONOR HERO DEAD
MEMORIAL DAY APPROPRIATELY
OBSERVED IN LADYSMlTH
DECORATE VETERANS GRAVES
Special Program at the Court House
Thursday Afternoon

On Thursday morning Decoration
Day, guard of honor of G. A. R.,
and S. of V. decorated the graves of
Comrades Gross and Miller in the old
cemetery south of the city. At the
Riverside cemetery they did likewise
to the graves of Comrades Thayer,
Lane and Mckee.
When they returned to the city,
they found an elegant dinner await
ing them at the hall, through the
kindness of the w. R. G.
After dinner and a rest, affOrding
opportunity for storytelling of the
old times, all fell into line and
marched to the court house, where
a program to commemorate the day
was held. Rev. Watson invoked the
divine blessing.
The ribbon drill by fourth, fifth and
sixth grade girls, the flag drills of
the fifth and sixth grade boys and
the second grade, of the first ward
school, (handled by the Misses, Nc
Clellan, Johnson and Winn, teachers)
were very pleasing and so was the
singing of marching Through Geor-
gia" Freddie Van Horn rendered the
song 'I'd Like to Be a Soldier" Win
ming much applause.
Grace Harmony, with her recita-
ton, Camp Fires" and Irma Nelson,
Unknown" touched on scenes of
those stirring days, while Mrs. John
Owens solo, They're Growing Old"
was tender tribute to the old boys
in blue.
District Attorney Charles Kirwan
was the orator of the day, and he
proceeded to show how love of coun-
try, had brought forth such a strong
response to President Lincolns call
in 1861, in many cases from mere
boys. He showed that all of the
grandness and greatness of our Uni
ted country today was the direct re-
suit of the efforts of the noble boys
in blue. He said the best in our
land was none to good for these old
heroes.

PRISON REFORM IN CHINA.

''Today, in the street for the
first time, | saw chain gang, pris-
oners with spades and baskets taken
out by police sergeant to do useful
labor" says a correspondent of the
North China Daily News. '"They
we're clothed in red cotton garments,
and most of the gang, about sixteen
men and two boys, had chains on
their ankles, but were otherwise
free. They seemed to be in good
condition, and it marks another most
useful and necessary reform. 1t is
a great thing for these men to get
outside their prison walls, and
breathe the fresh air, and spend
some time in work, and the shame Of
being publicly seen in prison garb
may help to awaken conscience and
deter others from lawbreaking. This
is so great a contrast to the past,
when Chinese prisons were an I'M
utterable horror, that, strange as it
may seem, the appearance of a chain
gang made one feel glad, which
was not inconsistent with a thrill
of pity for the men,"

Hoes not see the age-long dreari-
hess, for always there flashes back
TO him from the face of creation
kon1 Ehing to love. He reaches
out toward men, and the yearning
is more moving than music on the
waters. He has given himself to
the disinherited, and in life of
obloquy he finds peace. He ans
wers sorrow with pain, and out
his suffering there shines

Restocking With Hogs.

\ Hog cholera did it's worst last
FALL. Thanks to serum and to
early marketing in threatened To-
halities. the plague is now dimin-
fshing somewhat. Those in po-
sition to enlarge breeding opera
lions again with comparative safe
tW from cholera have great induce
md BITS to do so. The heavy liqui-
}(Hion of herds has sent thousands
|bf sows to the pork barrel, insur-
Eng a considerable reduction in
the size of the forthcoming pig
crop. Those who succeed in rails
ling their share of it will be in line
for such remuneration as a mod
erately stocked market may bring
a year from now. Where the
serum simultaneous treatment can
be applied as a preventive, some
hogmen are inclined to risk start
ing anew in the face of recent
presence of the disease in the
quarters that must be used.
A demand for breeding stock
will spring up as fast as breeders
and farmers feel safe in restock-
ing. so those who make early pur-
|fhases will find the least competi-
tion.

EVERY MOTHER NEEDS THIS
Electrically Operated Spanking Ma.
chine Which VIII Save the Busy
Housewife Much Time.

There should be no bad boys,
soiled clothing, rheumatic sufferers
or impure air in New York for at
least one week. A body Of generous
scientific men have found way to
dispose of these numerous evils and
are going to take the public into
their confidence at the new Grand
Central Palace, Lexington avenue
and Forty-seventh street, where the
1911 electrical exposition opens.
The one contrivance that has
aroused unusual interest, particu-
larry among mothers of unruly
youngsters, is spanking machine
This device, which is operated by
electricity, is guaranteed so far to
surpass the old-fashioned paternal
walloping that the management Of
the exposition is confident that it
will be welcomed in every home
AFTER IL has had a fair trlak 1t is so
cleverly devised that the mother of
a large family, who is frequently in
terrupted in her days work to APP
ply the antiquated spanking to sew
eral of her brood, will find it a great
time saver.
The only work required of the
tired housewife is strapping the un-
ruly boy in the machine and press
ing a button. While she is filling
the baby's milk bottle or wrangling
with the iceman the spanking ma
chine will be merrily whirring, while
the rubber disks beat steady tattoo
