CREAMERY NOW COOPERATIVE
New Management installs Cream
Ripener Which Will Help to AS
sure a Product cf High Quality

The creamery that has been con-
Quoted by E. R. Godfrey Sons co.
was turned over to the Ladysmlth
Cooperative Creamery Co. Monday
morning and the new concern has
bean operating it since.
C. P. Anderson, the buttermaker,
arrived here last Friday night from
Shennington, Wis, to take charge OF
the plant.
Every effort is going to be made
to turn out nothing but the highest
quality butter from this creamery
and Mr.. Anderson is we'll qualified
to turn out the finest possible pro-
duct if the proper kind of cream is
furnished. To assure this, no cream
will be accepted that is in poor con-
dition and gives evidence of not be-
ing cared for in sanitary manner.
After the cream reaches the cream
cry, Mr.. Anderson will see to it that
it is properly handled at every stage
until it leaves the plant and the man
agement doesn't intend to have its
precautions counteracted by taking
in rotten cream.
To facilitate proper handling of the
cream, a new ripener has been in
stalled at a cost Of over $400, some
thing neither of the creameries here
have used heretofore.
The News-Budget has been favored
with a sample print of the butter
and we are pleased to testify that
we have never tasted better. Such a
product will certainly command the
top price on the market.
In the neighborhood of hundred
farmers attended the creamery meet
ing held at the training school build
ing last Saturday. Various matters
pertaining to the creamery were dis
cussed and the lively interest shoWr
speaks we'll for the success of the
venture.

LandmarksBurns

The landmarks which have a his
tory connected with the time when
"Pine was king" in Rusk county are
passing. Saturday saw the passing of
another of these landmarks when the
old Chippewa Landing house burned.
The building was occupied by r.
V. Wynkoop and w. d. Kennedy.
The fire which destroyed it was of
unknown origin and was first discov-
cred about three o'clock on Saturday
afternoon Mr.. Wynkoop with his
boys was away from home at the
time. The Kennedy family was also
away but returned in time to save
nearly all their household goods. Mr.
Wynkoop lost all his household goods,
clothing, etc, and is left with only
the clothes on their backs.-Bruce

A F |NE EDIF|CE
CHRISTIAN CONGREGATION WILL.
PROVIDE LARGER QUARTERS
TO ERECT new CHURCH BUILDING
Structure Will Be One The City Can
Well Be Proud Of

At the regular monthly board
meeting of the Church of Christ of
this city, held Tuesday evening, ac-
ton was taken to erect new church
building. This action grew out of the
widespread feeling of the members
and friends of the church that new
building was an imperative need. At
a previous meeting of the board, and
other men of the church, held the
last Sunday in February, it was the
consensus of opinion that something
must be done for more room to meet
the growing demands of the church,
and especially the Bible school which
has entirely outgrown the old build
ing. At this meeting temporary
committee was appointed to look in
to plans and cost of a building suit
able to the conditions. The report
Of this committee, as to plans and
cost, was enthusiastically received at
the meeting last Tuesday evening,
and final action was taken to build.
A building committee has been ap-
pointed and work will begin as soon
as the finished plans are accepted.
The proposed building will be mod
ern in every respect, thoroughly
equipped for carrying on all lines of
church work, especially the Bible
school work, there being the separate
class rooms to accommodate the
large Bible school, and have it well
ordered and graded according to the
present day methods of Bible school
work. The building will be credit
to our growing city, and one to which
the people of Ladysmith will look
with pride, and not only that, but
it will be a contribution for the pro-
motion of religious and social life.
A picture and details of the new
building will be published later.

Has Ankle Broken

Med Melloy, of Chippewa Falls, en-
ployed at A. c. Thompson's camp
near Weirgor, had his left ankle bro
ken Tuesday morning while engaged
in loading logs in the woods. One
OF the logs slid back and Mr.. Mel
10y broke his ankle in getting out
of the way, the fracture being an un-
usually bad one.
DR.. Ross, accompanied by Mr..
Thompson and Fl. A. Dimock, went
un to Weirgor Tuesday afternoon
and the doctor set the limb and did
all that could be done to alleviate
the mans suffering, his foot giving
him excruciating pain. He was taken
OF Chippewa Falls the same night to
be cared for at ST. Joseph's hospital.

SEVERAL NEW SITES
MUCH INTEREST TAKEN IN LO-
CATION OF THE NEW HIGH
SCHOOL BUILDING
LOCATION AN IMPORTANT MATTER
If Possible a Site Should Be Select
Cd That Will Not Block Street

The school board this week sent
out circulars explaining the urgent
need for the erection of high5chool
and urging the recipients to express
their views in the matter in letters
to the school board, as they wished
to get suggestions from all who would
offer them. The school board wei
comes the closest investigation of
this proposition from every angle to
the end that the question may be
solved to the best interests of the
entire city o.
Responses to the circulars sent
out have been many and show a live
ly interest in matters concerning our
city schools. Suggestions made are
fairminded in tone and given in
good spirit.
The prevailing sentiment seems to
favor a site toward the eastern end
of the city. Sites suggested that are
favorably considered by the school
board are the following:
All Of block 10, in the Menasha
Wooden Ware Cos First Addition.
Also, block 4, in the same addition
Lots 1 and 8, in block 5, and lots
8. 4. 5 and in block 4, of that ad
dition, and that portion of East Fifth
st between Miner and Lake-avs.
These sites could be purchased for
approximately 1000, $4,000 and
$4,000 respectively.
If possible a site should be select
ed that does not block street, es-
pecially one on which there is or is
likely to be much travel.

PLEASES A LARGE AUDIENCE
Lecture Coursc Just Ended Success.
Next One Contracted Fer

Miss Jeanette King, of Cincinnati,
O., entertained an audience that COM
pletely filled the Congregational
church last evening. The greater part
of the evening Miss King devoted to
a rendition of the strong four-act dra-
ma, Leah Kleshna," which she pre-
sented most effectively, acting all of
the seven parts in such a realistic
manner that the audience was held
spellbound The applause at the end
of each act showed how well her eff
forts were appreciated and many
were heard to express themselves
that her number was the best Of the
course. Remarkable histrionic ability
is required to change so rapidly from
the personification of one character
to another and give such a faithful
Interpretation of each role as was
given by Miss King. She was a
whole company in herself and the
fact that she is woman of prepos-
sessing appearance gives her a stage
presence that adds materially to the
effectiveness of her work.
AS a prelude to the above, Miss
King rendered very clever comedy
sketch, 'How the Vote Was Won, )"
that will give our suffragettes fresh
inspiration and material enough to
last them a long while
Miss King is doubtless the best
reader that has ever visited Lady
smith and it is to be hoped that this
talented and accomplished lady will
again visit this city.
Course a Success
This was the last number of the
current years lyceum course and the
committee is greatly pleased with
the liberal response to each of the
offerings on the course just cOnclud
ed. The course more than paid ex
penses and a gratifying balance is
left to apply on next years course
which has already been contracted
for.
The course selected for next yea
is a very strong one, costing consid
erably more than those given the
past few years There will be thu
same number of attractions as there
was this year, six, but larger ant
more expensive companies have beel
engaged. There will be but one lee
ture in next years course. One o
the numbers secured is an orchestr
of ten pieces that comes most high
ly recommended.

A Monster Loo

A monster birch butt log, sixteen
feet long and measuring five feet
across at the base, was sent down
from A. c. Thompson's camp at
Weirgor this week, Mr. Thompson
having donated same to the park
committee for the city park. The log
is pronounced by old loggers and
woodsmen to be the largest birch
log ever cut in this part of the state
as far as they know of and it is pro-
posed to put same on a foundation
and enclose it in a small pavilion
in the park, making a very fine and
attractive arbor.

THE GIRL AND The TRAMP"
Splendid Play That CIeverIy
Depicts The Nomadic Instinct

Our bOaSted civilization is only a
veneer after all and, not a great way
below the surface there is a nOmad-
ic instinct that has made the best
of us, as we'll as the worst of us, at
some time or another silently wish
and conventionalities of our ordinary
environment-to break away from
our ordinary life, so to speak, and
| to roam hither and thither, sans care,
sans thought of tomorrow and enjoy
Iilg to the full the freedom Of today.
We have just felt that we wanted to
dirty, ragged, hungry and all. Yet,
with that feeling, there has always
been the thought, too, that we would
still be different from the ordinary
hobo, because all men good and bad
are mortals of themselves, and
that, hidden from the world at large,
there would yet be the undying spir-
it of the real gentlemen beneath the
tattered garments.
Something of this idea has been
utilized by the talented author Of
Geo. L. Barton's justly celebrated
play so aptly called "The Girl and
the Tramp This perhaps is the real
secret of the dramas great success.
The splendid, rollicking but unshav-
en- and uncouth looking individual
depicted so admirably by Happy Jack,
appeals strongly to our nomadic in
stinct; and when, at the end, he
comes out strongly in his real char
acter of the refined gentleman, we
all feel a thrill of satisfaction, en-
gendered by the honest belief that
what he has done and is, is just
what we would do and be under sim
liar circumstances.
The play possesses wonderful heart
interest from the beginning to the
end; is chuck full of intensely dra-
matte situations, and yet, with all
teens with comedy element, hilari-
Gus, side splitting fun. In fact, it may
we'll be likened to an April day, de-
licious mingling of sunshine and shad,
ows, or tears and laughter.
The play really possesses consid-
cradle literary merit, being far
above it's class in the matter of con-
struction and technique. And the
company too, is exceedingly meritor-
ious. 1t has the essential for a good
dramatic performance-evenes Of
course, the part so splendidly por-
trayed by Happy Jack-the tramp
| is the central figure, but so we'll are
| the other characters grouped about
| him that the ensemble is we'll nigh
perfect.
| Nor have the other accessories to
a high class performance been neg
| lcted. The elaborate scenery carried
is admirable throughout, and the me-
chanical effects well nigh marvellous,
so that, altogether thoroughly en-
| joyable entertainment is assured all
who see it. Those who have had the
good fortune to have seen it before
will be surprised and gratified at the
many new and interesting things that
have been introduced.
'The Girl and the Tramp will be
the attraction at Worden's opera
house next Monday, March g.
