CREAMERY STOCKHOLDERS MEET
Interesting Address is Made by o. j.
Mcttard, of Conrath

Something over thirty of the stock
holders of the Ladysmith Co-Opera-
tive Creamery Co. met at the train
ing school building last Saturday af-
ternoon and had a very interesting
session. A number Of additional sub
scriptiOns were taken toward a fund
for embarking in the feed business
on a larger scale than in the past.
O. j. Mottard, in charge of the
state experimental farm at Conrath,
was in attendance and gave a very
interesting and highly instructive ad-
dress on "The Value of Co-Opera-
ton Among Farmers" He also dis
cussed the manifold advantages of
testing cows regularly and demon
strated that it was waste rather than
economy for the farmer to do with
out cream sheet and save himself
the little time required to keep a
systematic record of what each COW
is producing. His remarks were Civ
EN- the closest attention and the in
terest of his auditors in the subject
was manifested by the numerous
questions asked him at the close of
his address
Another creamery meeting will be
held the first Saturday in March,
the 9Th.

ANOTHER COMMON LAW MARRIAGE
Second of the Kind to be Engineered
in Rusk County

Rusk county had it's second "com-
mon law marriage" take place when
George W. Bailey and Minnie Plut-
shack, both of this city, filed their
marriage contract in the office of
Register of Deeds Hill last Saturday.
The contracting parties have for
the past few years lived upstairs in
the building just east of the Com
mercial Hotel. Evidently, the famil-
lar maxim, marry in haste, repent
at leisure" had been duly considered.
The marriage contract, which was
dated Feb. 5, 1915, and which was
witnessed by Mr.. and Mrs A.
Hodges, was as follows:
Witnesseth, that the said parties,
(named in the Introductory para
graph) in consideration of mutual
love and affection for each other do
declare themselves to be husband
and wife, for better Or worse, for
richer or poorer, and promise to
love each other, and do for each
other in all things as is required
and commanded by the word of God
and the requirements of the laws of
the state of Wisconsin, so long as
We may both live All of this we
do promise, one to the other, and
do declare this our marriage con-
tract under the common law.
GEORGE w. BAILEY.

DEATH OF NEW SETTLER

The deeath of Frank J. Rocken-
field, took place Tuesday night at
his home about a mile from Port
Arthur, where the family lived with
his brother, George and sister. They
came here some two months ago,
from Toledo, Iowa, where the body
was taken today for interment Mr..
Rockenfield had had for some time a
heart affection, which the change of
location was unable to overcome. Of
relatives in this county, he leaves a
wife, two sons and a daughter be-
sides the brother and sister, who
were making their home together,
and another sister, Mrs. Hiram Rich,
who lives near Port Arthur.

which are chosen annually, are,

treasurer L. G. Streater.
In March, 1911, the club was in
corporated with it's full member
ship under the state laws, for $4,000.
At that time also it acquired 400
acres of land, which has since been
increased to LOO, almost a section
of which was purchased within the
last year. Their whole tract in
cludes a number of lakes, one Of
which, Lake Stephenson, which com
prises about 60 acres-and upon the
south side of which the new cabin
will be built-will be stocked with
fish. The clubs holdings lie in the
form of almost an exact parallelo-
gram, 81 miles long by u mile wide,
there is flowage of IL miles on
Hemlock river, and valuable and
attractive feature is a number of
fine springs.
The establishment of the camp, at
its early date, was creditable
stroke of foresight. For the own
ers, if disposed to part with their
holdings, would already be able to
realize several thousand dollars on
their investment, being ahead, be-
sides, to the extent of the unmarked
able-but none the less valuable,
wealth Of pastime it has afforded the
members of the club

POOR GIRLS CAN MAKE
THEIR WAY IN WISCONSIN

''If a girl has money for her Incl
dental fees, books and clothes, she
need not hesitate in coming to the
University of Wisconsin," says Mrs.
G. B. Flett, in charge of the stu
dent employment bureau for women.
II have not known of any girls leav-
ing the university because she was
unable to find something to do to
pay her expenses"
About 40 girls have geen placed by
the bureau during the past semes-
ter. This does not include girls do
ing stenographic and clerical work,
that branch of service being handled
by the main student employment bu-
reau. Practically every applicant
has been placed and more calls have
been received than the bureau has
been able to supply
eve may not be able to find the
girl just the kind of work she would
rather do" says Mrs. Flett, ''but if
she Is Ill 0dTu0SC anu WdulS W 6dIA
part Of her expenses we can find her
something to do. Many requests are
made by sorority houses and private
families for girls willing to wait on
table or do light housework for their
board or board and room. Girls with
only occasional hours to spare are
often asked to care for children while
the mothers shop or visit. A girl
who is skilled in any particular line
has no trouble in finding employ
ment"
The wage for students runs about
25 cents an hour. About 26 hours of
service are usually given for room
and board, 21 hours for board alone.
A number of letters have already
been received from prospective stu
dents asking about the possibility of
securing work next year.

To CREATE new HUNTING LODGE
Bucks Hunting Club Will Have More
Commodious Quarters Hereafter

A number of the members of thu
Bucks Hunting Club took w. H. B
Campbell out with them Monday fol
an inspection of the situation a
their camp, and returned with the
decision of having him make some
changes there which will render the
establishment more becoming, as {
prosperous and progressive, private
hunting and fishing preserve. The
improvements will include an up-tC
date hunting lodge, 24x36-with Z
foot outside wall, cement foundation
and modern roof-which will accom-
modate some 26 dodgers. We are
not in the secret as to what the
style of the building will be, but
presume it will illustrate the Rem
aissance school of architecture. Al
any rate, we are satisfied it will
knock the hose off any renaissance
in it's line, yet seen in Rusk county.
The expectation is to begin the
erection of the building at once, the
intention being to haul the lumber
from Atlanta, miles distant.
The origin of the camp-located
about 20 miles northwest of this city
and owned by Bucks Club, the only
incorporated hunting club in the
county is due to F. e. Munroe and e.
w. Hill, the latter being the man
who, since the adoption of his re-
cent scheme of facial barbering,
bears such a striking resemblance to
the man who gave the most popular
and satisfactory definition of what
war is. (Both of the gentlemen, it
seems, in launching this enterprise,
have given other evidence Of fore
sight than the fact that they were,
respectively, the first editor and
first owner of this paper)
The club was organized in 1903 as
a hunting club, it's existence, as such,
however, at that time, lying mostly
in the fertile imagination of the
members, the only circumstantial
evidence to that effect consisting of
the temporary shack" set of
dishes, politely so-called, and a uten-
sill or two pertaining to a more or
less mythical kitchen.
The original members We're w. S.
Manning, Charlie Stanley, Henry
Clark, F. E. Munroe, E. w. Hill, w.
L. Stephenson and r. F. Hummer, the
latter of Eau Claire, all except the
three first mentioned being still in
cluded in the present membership
which is limited to twenty-and
which comprises in addition, L. c..
