BASE BALL
LEAGUE NOW BEING FORMED TO
INCLUDE LADYSMlTH
FORTY SUBSCRIBE FOR STOCK
Rice Lake, Hayward, Spooner, Cum
berIand and Shell Lake Are
Also in the Project

Ladysmith baseball fans will prob
ably be able to enjoy league" games
this season, as a league is being
formed including the following cities:
Ladysmith, Rice Lake, Hayward,
Spooner, Cumberland and Shell Lake
There seems to be no dearth of
support here for such a team. 1t is
thought that this city would give a
team good support if it was managed
right and good games were assured.
1t takes good games to draw the
fans" and the organization of
league will assure this. The race for
the pennant would also create much
interest and add considerably to the
attendance.
Subscriptions of stock at $3.50 a
share are now being taken here and
about forty have already subscribed.
A baseball meeting will be called
in few days, at which it is expect
ed to perfect organization. A first
class outfit will be secured for the
local team and every effort will be
made to insure it's being a strong con-
tender for honOrs.

out Monday afternoon to look Tor
Hank" West, who disappeared
March 80. He had last been seen go
ing home drunk that night with a
bottle of alcohol and d couple OF
packages. He stopped at the Klopfen-
stein place a few minutes and then
started on through the woods. That
was the last that was seen of him
alive
After considerable searching, the
body was found by Christ Aellig not
a great distance north and east from
the Klopfenstein home. 1t was in
bad condition, of course.
The remains were brought to Mr..

A GreWsome Find

While excavating under the water
tower Monday the workmen un-
earthed coffin, startling them some
what. 1t was found to be empty
Speculation was rife regarding it, un-
til cleared up by the "old timers. :"
1t seems that one Henry Murphy
froze to death here about 25 years
ago, being the first man to- die in
this vicinity of which there is any
record. The present site of the tow
er was used for the first burial
ground of the city, Murphy being in
tered there and later twelve or thir-
teen others were buried there. La
ter all the bodies were removed to
other places. Murphy's sister came
here from Dubuque, Iowa, and took
his remains away in a metallic cas-
ket the casket he was buried in here
being replaced in the ground, where
it rested undisturbed until Monday.

LADYSMITH NOW IN LINE FOR
THIS METROPOLITAN CON-
VENIENCE
BUILDINGS SHOULD BE NUMBERED
Unless This is Ccnc and Walks are
in Coed Condition There Will
Be "Ncthing Doing"

The city of Ladysmith is now en-
titled to free mail delivery and will
no doubt get it this summer.
The business done by the local
postoffice for the fiscal year ending
April 1st, 1914, for the first time eX-
ceeded the sum of $10,000 the
amount necessary to entitle city to
this convenience The previous years
total was not far from the necessary
amount and the increase brought the
total up to about 1925 over the $1O,-
900 mark for the past year.
Before Ladysmith can get city de-
livery it will be necessary to have all
or practically all of the business
buildings and dwellings numbered and
have the walks in good condition.
The extensive building of new side
walks last year hs put the city in
walks last year has put the city in
pretty good shape in that respect,
but it is imperatively necessary that
everybody should see to it that their
buildings are numbered at once and
perhaps action by the city council in
this matter would be advisable. When
the inspector comes and looks over
the city, unless he sees evidence that
the houses are numbered or are rap
idly being numbered there will be
no mail delivery in Ladysmith for at
least another year
Let's get busy with the usual La
dysmith spirit" and have this conven-
ience that will cost the city nothing
and add materially to it's metropoli-
tan pretensions.

TWO-DOLLAR WHEAT IN 1915

If Robert Rogers, Canadian minister of public
works is prophet, prosperity will be boiling i'll
the Inland Empire in 1915. A Winnipeg dispatch
quotes him saying that wheat will bring 81
bushel next fall
Europe will produce little grain next year and
look chiefly to Canada and the United States
for its supply said Mr. Rogers. Everything pro
duced on the farm in these two countries will com
mand big prices"
like view is voiced in New York by men
in close touch with the grain and flour trades ac-
cordng to the New York Commercial One leader
in the flour trade there said the experience of this
country and Europe after the Franco Prussian war
may be repeated next year in much sterner degree.
He recalled that i'll the period between the end Of
the Franco Prussian in 1871 and 1873 the price
of wheat went to $163 bushel Then only two
nations directly concerned, but now almost
all Europe is involved and the effect, in the judg-
ment of this dealer, will he more reaching.
Other dealers thought that the increased
planting of wheat and other grains reported this
year from Canada and the west of the United States
would not halt the rising of prices.
To some extent the wish here father to the
thought. Canada suffers from industrial and fnan-
cia depression and members of its government feel
in duty bound to whistle up courage And the views
quoted by the New York paper evidently come from
the "bur' side of the trade-Spokesman- Review.

The Most Imminent Problem

We printed yesterday morning q communication

other worthy poor is too evanescent We be-

dent is socialist, and may that if his doc
trine is sound and the principles he advocates
applicable there would be poor and no need of
municipal Christmas There would be
derfed and no Il-clad school children We may also
agree in order to cut the brush away. that
time these principles may be applied and poverty
will be forever banshel from the world.
But the need of relief for hundreds of poor chill
dren and poor families in Phoenix is real and very
There is time to solve the deep
problem of unemployment any of those other
social problems whose solution will advance us tow
ard the millennium The thing to do now the
only thing, is to furnish this relief whether it be
for week even for only day. And glad
to see so many excellent women and men devoting
themselves the work Immediately before them.
What their hands find to do and what needs be
DONE they are doing with their might.
Liberal sums have already been promised but
there still as much money ought be
The should be the proper expenditure of
the money that it may to the farthest possible
extent and that the relief shall be for day
for week, but for many days and weeks
possible.
There must of course be some delicacies and
toys for the little ones, but they need not consume
great part of the relief fund. There cheap
toys and expensive toys but none of them long
lived Many wel-to-do and wealthy persons
confine their purchase of these instruments of
ephemeral pleasure to the cheaper kind.
The great bulk of the relief funds should be
applied substantial and lasting relief it
should be invested in clothing, shoes, and those ar
ces of food which the most nearly indispensa-
bic. After the best and most extended relief has
been afforded, we will all have time devote to
the consideration of that problem which worries
correspondent but have time now.
