\ TALE OF TWO CONTRACTORS

Two contractors were engaged in a
railroad building job. One contractor
required every man to work for him
to remove his clothing and take a
bath. A clean suit of overalls was
then furnished him until his clothing
could be disinfected. The employer
did this because he didn't want dirty
men working for him. He was deter
mined that there should be no lice
in his camp Each laborer was fur
nished with a good sized tent with a
board floor The tent was supplied
with a spring cot and clean bedding.
Tents were screened with mosquito
netting. The cooking and dining tents
were kept in sanitary and invitingly
were disposed of so as not to attract
flies. Privies were screened to pre-
vent flies carrying infection from ty-
phoid or other intestinal disease car
riers Men who were dirty tramps
when they arrived left as clean self
respecting men.
The other contractor did as most
contractors do Whatever his own
idea of cleanliness might be, he
wasted no money on frills." The
first contractor had no trouble get
ting men. The best came to him.
There was absolutely no sickness.
The only doctors bill in nine months
was for a man who had his arm
broken by a horse.
The conditions of the two contracts
and the work done were practically
identical. The first contractor made
handsome profit The second actual
ly lost money.
If the moral of this tale We're ap-
plicable only to railroad builders,
there would be no point in printing
it here A railroad construction camp
is small community. The contract
Or is the ruling power. In the civil
community the voters are the SUI
preme authority. AS such they can
determine what the living and work
ing conditions of their community
shall be.
The moral, however, has an even
more personal application. A COM
munity is an aggregation of individ-
ual homes. The housewife is usual
ly the authority on management She
can see to it that her house is
screened and clean. The cost of a
clean water supply, of proper sew
age and garbage disposal can be
met by the saving in doctors bills,
extra help made necessary by avoid
able sickness, ETC., not to mention
avoidable funeral expense.

1t Paid to Get "Soakedu

Ben French leaves tomorrow night
for Detroit, Mich, having been sub
poanaed to appear before the Unit
ed States District Court for the
Eastern District of Michigan, in the
case of U. S. VS. Chas. H. Manley,
charged with fraudulent use of the
mails. Mr. French sent $43. so to Man
ley for steel garage, but the gar
age failed to appear and Mr.. French
was unable to get any reply.
Inasmuch as Ben will be allowed 10
cents a mile for mileage, this seems
to be an instance where it paid to
get soaked" Ben will have a fine
trip to Detroit and with the witness
fees will make about $100 above ex-
penses. Talk about luck!

GE ETsF OUR CORRECT
NO CONTESTANT GETS ALL THE
MISSING WORDS
BLANCHE NELSON THE WINNER
First TIC Get Four of Last Weeks
Missing Words Correctly

Miss Blanche Nelson, who lives on
Route l, was the third winner in the
News-Budget's missing word contest,
having been the first one to get four
of the words missing in the contest
page last week. There We're five
words omitted from the advertise
ments, but none of the solutions
contained all of them Mss Nelson's
letter was the ninth one received
and was as follows:
Editor Budget,
Ladysmith, Wis.
Dear Sir: In your missing word
contest, issue of March 27:
In H. Oldendorf's adv, in the line
Ready Made (Suits),' the word
"suits" was omitted.
In W. M. Vaughan's adv, in the
next to the last line, Let us prove
(it}" the word "it' was omitted
In Karsts adv. in tt : line,. Zone
coat will (cover) better than two
coats of any other Kalsomine."
In Pederson's adv. in the line,
we will put crisp new solid rubber
(tires) on that gO-cart or carriage to
replace those old ragged ones" the
word tires was omitted.
BLANCHE NELSON.
The other word was missing from
the advertisement of O.. B. Filing
Doe: Spring" in the line, ian all
iron spring with support $3.50" Sew
eral detected this omission correctly,
but missed one or more of the others.
Answers were received with six or
seven missing words none of which
were right.
1t is getting to be a big job to
run through the contest letters re-
ceived each week, but it is surpris
ing how few there are, comparative
ly, that find more than one or two
of the missing words.
Get busy and get that dollar this
week.

enlisted in the service of our coun-
try and followed my regiment into
the vortex of war. Your space is linn
tied and fragments of sentences only
can be given sketching scenes and
observations from the car window.
1t was noted that silos and good
barns were fewer after leaving Wis
consln; that corn was the prevailing
crop, the stalks of which We're uncut;
that the old-time. rail fence was Of
ten seen; that, in Illinois, vast areas
are farmed by. tenants, as evidenced
by faulty farming and small. un-
painted dwellings, barns and sheds;
that the exceptions to this were the
farms owned by the occupant whose
home, improvements and stock were
universally superior; that through In

by the owners; that Lafayette, Ind,

Coming from your latitude one en-
counters SO many novel sights, GUS
toms and experiences as to feel that
it is a new world The social life
and manners are far more genial,
frank and spontaneous than in most
of our busy, hurrying North. The peo-
pie here for generations have devoted
much of their time to music, dane
ing and the fine art of social enter
tanning. The result is repose of
manner, freedom from affectation
and a refinement which is a peren-
nial joy to the brusker Northerner.

Fined $500 and Costs

John Krcma was fined $500 and
costs in Justice Reeves court yes
terday for assault and battery on. the
person of VIM. Leonhard, of Green
Bay, the day before. Leonhard, who
had been visiting relatives living be-

was rendered unconscious.
The case was first brought before
Justice Manning, but change of
venue was taken.

OF A NEW HIGH
SCHOOL BUILDING AT
THIS TIME
BUILD ONTO FIRST WARD Bull DING
HighschcoI Could, Easily Be Remod-
eIed to Accommodate Mere
Pupils
BY 0. {. Rice

1t is very evident that some more
room must be provided for our
schools, sd everybody feels dis
posed to DO all that can be advised
| ly undertaken for the advantages OF
| the school children, but we believe
that suffi> lent and satisfactory ac-
commG dation can be secured without
the expenditure of $4,000, or near
ly 50 large a sum of money.
Ladysmith has large brick high
school building that has cost the city
large sum of money, and this build
ing could easily be SO remodeled as
to accommodate 200 or more high
school students, in addition to 100 or
more grade pupils For that reason a
high school building is not at this
time necessity
Would it not be better, as has
been suggested by scores of the
people of the city, to build onto the
First ward building an addition of
four, or even six rooms? That could,
it is asserted, be done for an outlay
of about seven thousand dollars, all
complete The heating plant there is
adequate for heating the entire build
ing, but even if found not to be, an
other furnace could be Installed.
The school grounds there are am
pie for Fairgrounds The surroundings
are pleasant and healthful, and the
distance such that any pupil can cas-
lily walk it.
Four rooms would accommodate at
there are not filled to their capacity
by about thirty pupils; thus we
should have accommodations for 230
children. That would take care of
all now attending in the True school
building and leave room for so to
100 children more than we now have.
|. st. Mary's Catholic school now of
fers the first year highschool stud
les; next year will offer the second
year work, and in two years more
will carry the full four years high
school course. That will also relieve
the public schools of so to Is high
school pupils. From the above it will
be evident that an overcrOWded
condition of our high or graded
schools will be obviated for years to
come.
Ladsmith has prospered; all sim
cerely wish it to continue doing SO,
and for that reason hesitate to un-
dertake so great burden as has
been proposed, especially when there
seems to be way to continue that
progress without discouraging indus
tries and our business men, as we'll
as property owners.
With the improving Of the city wa
ter works and the streets already
under way, and of pressing need, we
question the wisdom of supporting
the proposition of bonding the city
