SPLENDID CONCERT
FAMOUS CHICAGO SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRA ENTHRALLS
LARGE AUDIENCE
MANY COME FROM NEARBY TOWNS
First Number Of Lyceum Course
Worth Cost of Tickets fer
Entire Season

Fully five hundred music lovers of
Ladysmith and surrounding towns
were in attendance at the concert
given by eighteen members Of the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra in the
spacious auditorium of the new high
school building Wednesday evening.
1t is the first time in the history
of the city that such a number OF
master musicians have appeared be-
fore the local public at one time,
and appreciation of this fact was by
no means lacking. Even to the most
uncultured ear the classics of Beeth-
oven, MendelssOhn, Verdi Offenbach
and others, as rendered by this en-
semble, were charming The cello
solo, by Mr.. Theo. Du Moulin and
the violin solo, by Mr.. A. Zukovsky,
with full orchestra accompaniment
were of particular excellence, both
gentlemen displaying wonderful abil-
ity in the use of their instruments.
The audience applauded every
number freely and the orchestra in
several instances responded with en-
cores.
Those who failed to avail them
selves of the opportunity to hear
this Orchestra-One of the two best
in the cOuntry-made a great mis-
take. The attendance lacked a great
deal of what it should have been,
considering the excellence Of the
attraction. This one number alone
was we'll worth the very moderate
price charged ($1.50) for season tick
cts for the six splendid numbers of
the current lyceum course
The lyceum committee is, entitled
to unstinted commendatiOn for Sc
curing attractions of such merit as
make up this years course and should
be given liberal support in their en-
deayOr to provide the very best of
clean, wholesome, inspiring enter
tainment for the people Of Lady
smith and vicinity.

CONRATH HARVEST DAY

Conrath's Fourth Annual Harvest
Day was ushered in last Saturday by
a series of rain showers which last
ed during the entire day. The wealth
er man surely had some grudge
against Conrath.
However, even with such adverse
weather conditions, farmers began to
arrive early in the morning. By noon
about 100 were in town. 1t had
been planned to have the exhibits
and addresses in the park. This
plan had to be abandoned and ev-
erything was taken to the pavilion.
Although rather crowded every one
was accommodated. Exhibits were
arranged about the sides of the
building and temporary seats pro-
vided
The display of root crops was one
of the best displays one could eX-
pect to see at any farm exhibition.
No better rutabagas, turnips, beets,
mangels and carrots We're ever on
display. The cabbages, pumpkins
and cauliflower shown, show that
Rusk county has a soil that can pro
duce with the best of the older soils.
Alfalfa clover and timothy, as
good as grows anywhere was seen
in all parts of the building.
The grain samples were simply
wonderful Every exhibit showed
good strong straw and we'll filled
heads.
Taken all in all the displays would
have been a credit to any county
fair in the state.
The addresses given by Professors
e. J. Delwiche and F. H. Scrlbner
were very interesting.
Prof. Delviche laid much emphasis
upon the planting of clover. No bet
ter advice could be given to The
farmers in any section of Northern
Wisconsin. Prof DelWiche handled
his subject we'll and as one thorough
ly competent in that work.
Prof Scribner gave very inter
esting and instructive discussion of
the dairy COW. Mr.. Scribner also
handled his subject well and held
the interest of those present.
The refreshments served by the
Ladies' Aid society of the Conrath
church were truly delicious. The
dinner served in the church was
treat and the other refreshments
were a credit to the good cooks at
Conrath

SAVE YOUR CORN

There is much corn through the
country that has not been killed
with frost and if put in the shock
will make fine seed for another'year,
Not all the ears are sufficiently de-
Veloped for seed, but most of them
are, and the sap that is in the stalks
helps to ripen the ears Seed grown
here is much more valuable than
any shipped in from southern dis
tricts, as it more sure to ripen next
year. At one time the corn
crop of Iowa was all spoiled by an
early frost and the farmers bought
seed the next spring from the south.
The crop did not ripen at the usual
time, consequently they had soft corn
again.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
COUNTY SCHOOL NEWS 5
BY COUNTY SUPT, o. E. RICE
,SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Sss : : : ) ) : e
One month of the school year has
already been completed; teachers
monthly reports are coming in,
promptly in most cases. We need tn
report of Enrolment, classification,
and the Recitation Program from all
those who have not already sent
them in.
Attention is called to the recita-
ton program, as several that have
been received had to be returned for
correction.
| The model in the back of the
school manual gives the order and
time for each class, and should be
followed as closely as possible. Fif-
teen minutes just before the after
noon recess are to be given to Pen
manship. No separate class need be
formed in numbers for strictly be-
ginners and First grade pupils. Spell
| ing for first three grades should be
combined with reading. Fourth and
Fifth, or Fifth and Sixth Language
or Spelling may, if necessary, be
combined. No class in Civics should
be- started until about April 1st, UNI
less the Eighth grade already has
final standings in History. Agricul-
ture only for the Seventh and Eighth
grades combined are to be formed,
and they to r9cite twice a week, I'M
less there is plenty of time. Con-
tinue the class until cold weather,
then discontinue until about April
Physiology may, in Fifth and Sixth
grades combined, run three times,
and Agriculture two times weekly.
Spelling would best come the last
thing before closing at night. Thir-
ty minutes each month are to be de-
oted to Glow to Avoid Accidents,
and What to do in Case of Acci-
dents.''
From visiting and from reports Of
some teachers, it is found that few
school boards have not as yet sup
piled their schools with all the
books needed also sweeping com
pound for the floor. Some desks are
needed, some are not fastened to
strips, but are loose and cause not
little trouble and discomfort to
both pupils and teachers. We would
urge the clerks to look after the
pressing needs at once.
Some expensive drinking fountains
are being placed in the rural schools.
We are very glad to see this con-
venience provided, but a cheaper
one and fully as durable and sat
isfactory fountain may be had at a
much cheaper price.
Teachers are not required to re-
port as delinquent those pupils not
yet enrolled for September, but must
for the second month report any
between Z and IA years of age not
attending regularly. Attention of
parents should be called to this at
once A pupil absent more than four
days in a month without a sufficient
reason, is delinquent, and must be
so reported.
Chairman J. G.. Stubbs has ap
pointed as members of the County
School Committee, G. S. Arnold, l..
