TRIP DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI

Chris Thompson, the bars IS MAX
er and in by-gone days al sa'spr be
fore the mast" on the salt&al waters,
still has the old craving foasthe life
on the water that in his younger
days led him to the sea.
Chris is an Industrious worker and
is justly entitled to a vacation from
his business cares. 1t is but natural,
therefore that he has planned to
spend it in a trip of two weeks, pos
sibly longer down the Mississippi
and back. He will ship his motor
boat to Osceola, and will leave here
for that place around the 18th to the
18th to begin his voyage, accompan-
led by Chas. Lintelman, also of Lady
smith, who will make the trip with
him. They will go down the st.
Croix river to it's junction with the
Mississippi opposite Hastings, Mimi,
thence down the Father of Waters
to Savannah, ILL.,, and probably far
ther. Mr.. Thompson will visit for
several days at Savannah, which was
his home at one time, and at present
is the residence of his daughters,
Mrs Fred Bahrt and Miss Edna, and
of other relatives.

OBITUARY

Flora Pearl Brownell was born in
Chicago, Illinois, January 16, 1889,
and departed this life at her home in
Ladysmith, July 20, 1916, aged 27
years, 6 months, and 13 days She
came with her parents to Ladysmith
I'M the year 1903.
The deceased was married to III.
Frank Cowan, May 81, 1910. A
daughter, Joy Lorraine, was born in
the home July IA, 1916.
The departed leaves beside the
husband and infant daughter, her mo-
ther, Mrs. Addie Brownell, two sis
ters, Mrs. Geo. Chamberlain, of Chi
cago; Mrs. HI. F.; Hayden, of Cox,
S. D., and one brother, T. e. Brown
ell, of Minneapolis. Other more dis
tant relatives and a host of friends
mourn with the family.
Sister Cowan was member of the
Willard Rebecca Lodge, and the large
representative body of that order in
attendance at the funeral services be-
speaks the loss that comes to this or
ganization.
At the tender age of IA, sister
Cowan surrendered her life to Christ,
and glorified Him in beautiful SER
vice all her days. 1t was her part to
render varied service in the church
As a worker in the Young Peoples
Society her life was an inspiration.
AS teacher of a class of young ladies
in the Bible school she strove to have
those under her direction sit at the
feet of the Great Teacher and learn
of him the way of life. In the min
istry of song her voice plead with the
erring, encouraged the faint-hearted
and soothed and comforted those who
suffered and such as were bUrdened
with sorrow and grief. Hers was a
rich service, rendered willingly and
without ostentation. Our loss is a
heavy one, but dying as she did, in
the Faith, we know that our loss is
her gain; for we can with paul the
Apostle believe, that ito depart and
be with Christ is very far better
though we feel the need of our loved
ones with us here.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at the Christian church Monday
afternoon at 2:3O. Elder Howe,
close friend of the family, and her
former pastor, preached the sermon.
Burial was made in Riverside.

WHEN AN AUDIENCE LAUGHS

The motion picture exhibitor who
really is concerned in his own Wei
fare can hear no better music than
the laughter of his audience. While
every play cannot, by any means, be
exclusively comedy there is always an
effort made by the picture producer
to Introduce a laugh" wherever it
is possible-and sometimes at the
expense of reasonableness.
Making a good play is the first
thing, but it cannot be good unless
it contains laughs" and lots OF
them. On this theory Bluebird Photo
plays constructed "The Secret of the
Swamp" to be exhibited at the I'm
ique theatre on Monday night with
Val Paul, Myrtle Gonzalez, Frank Nc
Quarrie and George Hernandez lead
ing a splendid company of camera ac-
tors.
The interest in the unfolding plot
loses nothing by the laughs" that
are naturally interspersed- and by
fine piece of constructive scenario
work Lynn Reynolds, the author and
producer, has devised a surprise fin
ish" that is, in itself, about the big
gest laugh a motion picture ever
contained.
The story is homely tale of neigh
borhood life in the south-Where the
modern ideas have not entirely sup
planted the old manners and methods
of ante bellum days. There is no tre-
mendous effort made to drag in sem
sationalism-but there is enough ex-
citement to satisfy the most exactlng
seeker after "thrills"-and there Is
an engaging love story to make the
photoplay attractive to all classes OF
picture fans"

MILL NOW RUNNING
PLANT OF WOOD PRODUCTS co.
Is NOW IN OPERA
TlON
MORE MACHINERY TO Be SET UP
North End of Ladysmith important
Manufacturing District

The new plant of the Wood Pro-
ducts Co., of which John Young and
G. A. Kenyon, both of this city, are
the guiding spirits, commenced oper-
ations Saturday with a crew of fif-
teen men.
About half the machinery has been
set up and only the lath mill is now
running. Their band-saw is expect
ed to arrive this week and other ma
chinery is being set up as expedi-
tiously as possible. 1t is expected
that between twenty-five and thirty
men will be employed by this new in
dustry in the near future.
Machinery for the manufacture Of
chair stock will be ready to run next
week and it is thought that this
is destined to be one of the impor-
tant departments of this plant. Three
novelty lathes are being installed for
the manufacture of pail handles and,
in fact, handles of almost any kind,
as we'll as many kinds of wooden
novelties
Every calculation is made for the
extension of the plant as the business
grows. The idea of the management
has been to build solidly and with an
eye to future needs. Substantiation
of this is seen in the fine 160-horse
power, compound Corliss engine,
which furnishes power for the plant
and which is ample to operate far
more machinery than it's present
load. Link Staley, competent en-
gineer, has charge of the power
room.
The plant has it's own electric light
plant, the dynamo being operated by
a separate engine of 25-horse pow
err
A narrow-guage railway is being
constructed to run through the yards
for the distribution of the finished
product
This plant with the nearby Jacobs
planning mill and the new Fountain
Campbell sawmill, will make the nor
thern end of Ladysmith an important
manufacturing district.

PROGRESS TOWARD HOSPITAL
Advisory Board Will Conduct Affairs
Of Institution on Nom
Sectarian Lines

sue, movement has been inaugur-
ated for the building of a hospital in
Ladysmith by the Sisters. The meet
ing held by the business men at the
city hall was continued until last Fri
day evening for the purpose of OBJ
tanning further Information on the
probable cost of annual maintenance
At the meeting on Friday evening
OF last week, reports were made to
the effect that in all reasonable prob
ability the hospital, under the admin
istration of the Sisters would be self
sustaining. Where hospital is op
Grated by the Sisters there is no sal
ary list for. them. Their labor being
purely for the sake of humanity
The Sisters made the request that
an advisory board of managers be
selected from among the business
men of Ladysmith, and other terri
tory tributary to the hospital, to dir
ect it's policies. This offer in behalf
of the Sisters assured the business
men that the hospital would be oper-
ated and conducted along absolutely
non-sectarian lines. This assurance,
no doubt, will be accepted by the
community at large.
At the Friday evening meeting, a
committee on organization was ap-
pointed consisting of A. C. Thomp-
son, w. e. Thompson, DR.. W. F. o.
Connor, H. Ballou and L. e. McGill
with instructions to report at the
meeting Of the business men on Tues
day evening, and to nominate officers
for the conduction of the campaign,
a general committee, and to recon-
mend the General Advisory Board.
This committe after consultation
with the Sisters recommended as
chairman, L. c. Streater, as treasur-
er, ]. o. Sinclair, and as secretary,
Frank Helm. It recommended large
list of names in the city and country
at large as general committee,
which list will be published later.
The organization committee has in
consideration the nomination of tho
General Advisory Board of Managers.
As soon as the consent of the sew
eral parties who are being considered
are obtained, announcements will be
made of the personnel of the advisory
board. The gentlemen who are at
present considered in this connection,
are all of high personal character in
the community, and are connected
with the leading business interests
in Ladysmith and adjoining country
It will be absolutely non-sectarian in
its make up and administration.
The report of the organization COM
mittee was received at the meeting
of the business men on Tuesday
evening, and the members were
continued as the Cam
paign Committee.
The Sisters make the further an
that no part of the ex-
pense in connection with the fund
raising campaign will be paid from
the building fund to be raised
This expense account has already
been provided for, so that the whole
sum obtained in contributions Or
pledges will be devoted wholly and
solely to the cost of building and
equipping the hospital. The cost
therefore of the campaign will be
no charge upon the general public.
