District Cannot Bond for Pur-
chase of Site

Judge Wickham rendered a decis-
ion Wednesday, denying the motion
to vacate the injunction restraining
the school board of Joint District
No. 1, of the city Of Ladysmith and
town of Flambeau, from proceeding
with the purchase Of site and the
erection of a highschool as voted at
the special school meeting of April s..
This decision was not based on any
irregularity at the school meeting,
in fact it was admitted by counsel
supporting the injunction that the
legality of the meeting could not be
questioned and it was held by the
Judge that all had a fair opportunity
to vote. The Judge held, however,
that this joint district was not so
organized as to come under the pro-
visions of the 1913 amendment to
the school code, which permits GER
tain joint districts, including a city
with a population not over 1000, to
bond for the purchase of a site.
1t is up to the district to appeal
to the supreme court for final rul-
ing, to re-organiZe in such manner
as to come under the statute re-
ferred to, or to purchase the site
outright
Whatever the outcome, there will
be no new highschool in time for

WAS A SPLENDID PRODUCTION
able Presentation of "My
Dixie Girl"

That my Dixie Girl" at the op-
era house Monday evening, was one
of the most creditably presented
home-talent plays ever given in La
dysmith, was the verdict of many
who witnessed this exceptionally fine
production. Indeed many professional
companies have visited Ladysmith
that have lacked the balanced cast
and faithful Interpretation of the
roles shown Monday night.
This drama was produced under
the auspices of the Bethany Sisters
and under the direction of Mr.. Charles
Payne Mr. Payne took one of the
parts,> that of Col. Howard, and in
his handling of it gave evidence of
his professional skill and training.
Mr. Payne's greatest work, how
ever, was in training the many young
girls who took part in the dancing
numbers and choruses, and in as
sistirg other members of the cast.
The excellence of the entire produc-
ton reflected much credit on Mr.
Payne.
Miss Ruby Collins had the title
role and, as on former occasions,
demonstrated that she possesses un-
usual histronic talent She was very
effective. y
Miss Vivian Doucette handled a
difficult part with much credit in
the role of Aunt Caroline, the col
cred nanny. She acted the part
well, bringing down the house" fire.
quently.
The part of the spinster lady of
severe aspect and jealous disposi-
ton, Mahitable Martin, was entrust-
ed to Miss Helen Shutters, and her
Interpretation of the part was above
criticism. Size kept the house in an
uproar.
Ray McQuillan was one of the best
in the company, although that is
saying a good deal. His part, that
of crabby old Mathew Martin, was
interpreted with a faithfulness that
would have been creditable in a pro-
fessiOnal.
The other two boys were also very
good. Ed Kennedy was the hero"
and proved that his selection for the
part was a wise one AS Howard EN-
cry, he made love to "Babby" How
ard, the colonels daughter, in a
truly realistic fashion. The part
seemed to come easy to him.
Last, but by no means the least
in contributing to the amusement of
the audience, was Clark Robinson as
Uncle George, the colored man, who
was inclined to be nervous" His
makeup and actions were true to
the part he was representing and
his antics produced many a hearty
laugh.
His solo, supported by a chorus,
was very fine. All the musical num-
bers and the fancy dances We're ex-
cellent, in fact.
The large audience went home

Glass Sees How Ice Cream is Made

Glass Sees How Ice Cream is Made
Miss Carroll, the domestic science
teacher and her class, numbering
about twenty, witnessed the manu-
facture of ice cream in the most up
tO-date and sanitary manner in
Moneys ice cream factory Tuesday
afternoon and were much interested
in the process as explained in detail
by Mr.. Blanchard. The greatest
amount of interest naturally was
taken in the operation Of the new
style of ice cream freezer, of the
disc-continuous type, heretofore de-
scribed in the columns of this pa
per.
The cream, purchased from the To-
cal creamery, is first mixed and then
pasteurized, after which it is allowed
to stand and cool for a couple of
hours before being frozen. The pro
cess of pasteurizing was also ex-
planned to the class.
All the machinery is operated by
electric motor. About 100 gallons of
ice cream was made Tuesday.
