INCREASE TOURNAMENT PRIZES
Pres. Maney Calls State Firemen's
Meet For That Purpose

President ID. F. Manley, of this
city, president of the State Fire
mems Association, has called a meet
ing of the directors and the local
committee at Monroe to be held
there Saturday of this week. The
purpose of this meeting is to in
crease the prizes offered for the
state tournament, which will be held
at Monroe June Is this year. The
association is enabled to do this on
account of the action of the legisla-
ture in granting an increased appro-
priation for this purpose.
This increase in the amounts Of
fered as prizes in this event ought
to mean something to Ladysmith, if
the local fire-laddies can be as sue
cessful in the various contests as
they have been at previous tourna-
mentS.

Peace Day in the Schools

The celebration of Peace Day (May
lSth) in the schools is increasing
from year to year. Since May 18th
this year falls on Sunday the schools
will hold their exercises either on the
Friday preceding or on the succeed
ing Monday. The presentation of the
Peace Day programs need not re-
quire more than from an hour to two
hours of the school time. Adequate
preparations, however, should be
made so that the program will be
worth while.
In the Wisconsin Memorial Day
in preceding ANIMALS, material will
be found which can be used in
preparing a Peace Day program. This
material may be supplemented eS-
pecially in the larger schools, by the
bulletin entitled, The Promotion of
Peace" by the U. S. Bureau of Edu-
cation, and which may be had up
on application to that Bureau. This
bulletin was compiled for the Bureau
by Mrs. Fanny Fern Andrews, Sec
retary of the American School Peace
League, and a widely known worker
for peace.
Most other occasions Of the school
year are local, state, or national in
their scope. Peace Day, however, is
! International. In the words of p. p.
Calxton, L. S. Commissioner of Ed
! ucation:-
Teachers and pupils can make no
better use Of a few hours of the
school day on May eighteenth than
to join with the millions who in all
parts of the civilized world are think
| ing and talking about the desire of
the ages, the coming of trusted
peace, with intelligent good viii
among men, though they may live
under different governments"

CHANCE TO WIN A GOLD MEDAL
Offered to School Children for Best
Composition on Earth Roads

A gold medal to the school boy or
girl between the ages of 10 and II
who writes the best composition, not
to exceed 300 words, on the repair
and maintenance of earth roads, is
to be awarded by Logan Waller Page
Director, Office of Public Roads,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, d. G. All compost
tions must be submitted to Mr.. Page
before May Is, 1913, and the medal
will be awarded as soon thereafter
as the compositions can be graded.
The composition may be based on
knowledge gained from books or
other sources, but no quotations
should be made
After many years experience in
ton of the country, it is Mr.. Pages
belief that ignorance on the subject
of repair and maintenance of roads
is as much the cause of their bad
condition as any other one factor. 1t
is expected that the competition will
bring about a better understanding
Of the subject OF repair and main
tenance in the rural districts
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disad-
vantages of roads made impossible
through a lack of proper mainten-
ance and it is expected that their in
terest in the competition will slim
ulate greater interest among the par
ents. Bad roads have prevented many
children from obtaining proper ed
ucation and have even prevented
doctors from reaching the side of ru-
raj patients in time to save their
lives
Amy child between the ages men-
toned, attending a country school,
may compete. Only one side of the
paper must be written on; each
page should be numbered: the name,
age, and address of the writer, and
the name and location Of the school
which he or she is attending must
be plainly written at the top of the
first page. The announcement of the
competition has been sent to the
superintendent Of schools in the ru-
raj districts No further information
can be obtained from the Office Of
Public Roads This announcement
should be plain to everyone, and all
children will thus, start on basis
Of equality.

Shall We Build Richer State :?

Those who want to see richer
state should urge the passage of the
bill now in the legislature asking for
all increase in the funds available for
giving publicity to the states agri-
cultural and other resources.
1t is certainly worth while to keep
our people within the state, rather
than to have them go elsewhere and
pay their taxes to maintain some 9TH
er state.
If our people are worth the effort
that is being made by others to get
them, they are worth our attention in
keeping them in Wisconsin.
The state board of immigration is
doing a great work in building up the
state, creating more taxable assets
which Will result in a greater state
income for the maintenance of our
growing public Institutions.

Fifty Thousand Dollar Wisconsin
Farms

The Onalaska Record reports the
sale of farm near that town at a
price of $4,000 for the bare farm and
$4,000 for the stock and machinery.
Those who, few years ago, in-
sisted that Wisconsin farms had
reached their highest point in price,
have food for thought in the con-
stantly rising prices, A study of the
productiveness of Wisconsin farms in
comparison with those of other states
shows that the rise will continue for
many years. Wisconsin land, wheth-
er in the older portion or the upper
counties, is the place to put your
spare cash.

o'clock Sunday morning of scarlet
fever, after an illness of less than a
weeks duration
Interment was made the same af-
ternoon in Riverside cemetery, Rev.
Baumbach conducting service at
the grave.
The case is particularly sad for the
reason that the parents are strangers
here. Mr. Kmosena and family came
to Ladysmith on the 30th of March
from Chicago and moved onto a
farm which he purchased about sew
en- miles north, opposite the old Mel

New Census Bulletin

The New North is in receipt of
the recent census bulletin issued for
this state from which we take the
following data
The total population Of the state
in 1910 was 1888, $50; in 1900 it was
,, ,069, ,042; a gain of 264,S2S; of this
gain the cities Of the state got
.214,l07, while the country districts
only increased 60,721 in ten years
time. The native population has in
creased 1896, while the foreign
born population has decreased about
5000 during the same time.
The percentage of males to females
in the state is 1914 or in other
words there are 1914 males to each
100 females. The percentage of ma
tive born m2les to females is 101 6 );
while there are 1908 foreign males
to each 100 foreign born females,
which shows that many more foreign
men than women come to this coun-
try.
There are SS0,040 people over j.
years of age in the state who are
4rried and 5S9, ,479 OF the same age
unmarried. There are at least 350,-
600 single people in the state old
enough to be married, or about one
fourth of the marriageable people
are unmarried. There are only 8164
divorced people in the state or about
one marriage in 100 is broken up by
the disagreement or misfortunes founC
in married life. This is by no means
IS bad as it has been painted and
can hardly be called without eXag'
gerating a divorce evil. .'-Rhineland

The Water Power Bill

A comprehensive water power bill,
the work of several weeks of re-
search and investigation, has been
introduced by the special committee
on conservation of the senate.
The bill lays down broad state
policy. The old theory of private un-
regulated development of waterpower
lis abandoned A new policy of state
regulation and control of river i'm
provement and waterpower develop
ment is proposed.
The measure lays the foundation of
what is hoped will eventually lead to
the requirement by the state of all
it's waterpowers developed in the fu-
ture.
1t permits waterpower companies to
charge tolls on their river improve
ments, to, earn reasonable return
on their investment and TO estab.
lish a depreciation fund This fund
is to be held by the state. both as
sinking fund for the corporation,
and if unused it may be applied by
the state toward the requirement, OF
the waterpower property.
Until the senate has adopted a con-
stitutional amendment which will per-
NIT it to acquire. reservoirs and wa
terpowers, the levying of tax for
the purchase of Waterpowers on the
part of the state cannot be made.
This bill, however, reserves all of the
rights of the state and permits the
building up of a fund which will III
time turn the properties over to the
state without levying any tax there
fore
In the meantime the bill is calcula-
ted to encourage the full and com
plete development of the waterpow-
.ers of the state and to protect all
public and private interests.
Broad powers are vested with the
railroad commission to ascertain all
the facts and conditions to be in
cluded in the contract.
The proposed corporation must
agree as to the physical value of the
plant when completed, together with
all other items of value and promo
ton which include all riparian rights
in lands acquired by the corporations
used and useful in the operation of
the plant. An application for a fran
chise shall be the basis Of price
to be paid by the state if it shall de-
termine in the future to acquire prop
erty. This precludes any possibility
of over-capitalization.
The bill gives municipalities the
power to take over these properties
at any time by paying a fair COM
; pensation. -
! To safeguard the public from de-
struction by floods and also to pro-
mote a more even stream flow of the
waters,s>the commission must fix a
How and high. water mark. upon the
properties.
! Inere are general provisions III the
bill giving the commission power to
require sluice-ways and other i'm
provements on the property to safe
guard the general public: Upon COM
plant made by the authorities of
any city or village that any dam is
unsafe. the commission shall imme-
diately make an investigation and
