SUBSCRIPTION FROM CHINA

The News-Budget has gone to
many parts Of this mundane sphere
but never, as far as we know, has
it gone to distant China until this
week, when we enrolled subscrib-
er at Paking, the capital of that
ancient, "celestial empire" that af
ter trying a more modern system of
government as a republic, is appar-
emily doomed to a return to the old
system
Ladysmith people, particularly, will
be interested to know that this sub
scriber is Mrs. G. G. Barden, (for
merly Hoover) who conducted a pho
tographic studio here for several
months. Mrs. Barden is engaged in
the same work at Peking and has
sent us some very fine samples Of
her work in the oriental capital.
Mrs. Barden has spent over a
year in China. She returned to this
country last summer and made a
short visit to Ladysmith in July, af-
ter which she spent few weeks at
Potato Lake, in this county, be-
fore returning TO China.

LARGE NUMBER ATTEND DANCE
Leap Year Event Given By Alumni
Proves Very Successful

Eighty-seven couple attended the
leap year ball given by the local
highschool alumni association at
Trues dancing auditorium Friday
evening. This is probably larger
number Of dancers than has been Oh
this dance floor in a long while.
The vivacious spirit in which the
gentler sex took the iniative in the
dancing is in striking contrast to
the almost habitual lethargy of the
men when the latter do the invit-
ing Everyone enjoyed themselves
to such an extent that the majority
Of the dancers fingered until the
final strains of Home, Sweet Home"
The excellent music furnished for
the occasion by Zimmerman's Harp
orchestra was duly appreciated and
the demand for repeated encOres was
so vigorous that after the first few
dances the orchestra was obliged to
restrict them to one encore for each
dance.

BANKERS g. FARMERS EXCURSION
Modern Farming Methods Will Be
Studied at Madison March
28 and 2o

A Banker-Farmer excursion to the
agricultural college at Madison has
been arranged for by the agricul-
tural committee Of the Wisconsin
Bankers Association, to be taken on
March 28th and 29th The university
authorities have consented to devote
those two entire days OF their col
lege force to the farmers and bank
ers who will participate in this ex-
cursion.
The purpose of this excursion is
to give the farmers and bankers an
opportunity to- study at close range
the very best there is in modern
farming methods.
Bankers who will attend will be
greatly interested and will learn
much that will be very valuable to
them in dealing with their local
farmer customers. It is unnecessary
to comment ON the value to the
farmers, from such an opportunity as
this excursion affords.
Rooms will be arranged for one
night at approximately $1.00 per
person; meals at moderate prices,
That arrangements may be made it
will be necessary to know at least
a week ahead of time, the names Of
those who expect to attend. All
farmers who can take advantage Of
this excursion and enjoy the privi-
leges offered by the university
authorities should get in touch with
their banker friends and they will
report their names to the agricul-
tural committee Remember the
date, March 2Sth and 29th. Copies
of program can be secured from the
banks in this city as long as they
last.

RAT GOES TO THE "MovlE"

A newspaper story in Monday 5
papers tells Of a panic caused among
the females on an interurban rect
car at Green Bay when large rat
invaded the car.
A similar incident with less s1ri-
Gus results occurred at the Unique
theater Monday evening. While the
picture was in motion on th9 screeu
large rat suddenly saempercG
across the theater floor under thc
seats. When it crossed one Of the
aisles it was sp.ad by a number OF
girls sitting in the middle section.
With a simultaneous movement AKIN
to the German goose step, except
that both feet came UP instead Of
one, several pairs Of dainty shoes
We're suddenly suspended in the
air. With tense bodies and bated
breath they held this attitude for 8
minute Or two after the rodent had
disappeared Then they relaxed and
resumed their interest il the pic
ture, but not without one eye keep
ing a vigilant watch on the floor.
Verify, it takes more than a rat
to undermine the courage Of our
girls-in other words, to make them
scream.

BASKETBALL REVIEW

The local highschool girls team
went to Owen this afternoon to
play the highschool girls team OF
that place this evening.
A large contingent Of loyal fans
accompanied the highschool boys
basketball team TO Rice Lake this
noon. The local school five will
play the Rice Lake high at the
Armory there this evening.
IN the game at Barron two weeks
ago, Roy Jacobs played the first
nalf Of the game and scored one
field basket and Volkman finished
the game, making two field goals in
the final half. The scorer at Far
ron failed to make this distinction
clear
A practice game between the
highscho0l and alumni teams was
played Monday evening at the gym
nasium as a stiff workout for the
school five in preparation for their
game at Rice Lake.
Three teams stand between Lady
smith and the district championship,
Rice Lake, Cameron and Cumoer-
land. The latter team has beaten
Rice Lake and Cameron two games
each and VIII likely prove the To-
cal fives' strongest contender.
The alumni quintet will take on
the Bruce city team at the gymna-
sium this evening.

To ENLARGE P. D.
GOVERNMENT LEASES FRiTZ Z
BUILDING FOR ANOTHER
FIVE YEARS
WILL RE-ARRANGE THE INTERIOR
Wcrk Will Start at Once.-NeW
Steel Fixtures Will BE
Installed

The postOffice department has en-
tered into a new lease for the Fritz
building now occupied by the post
office for a period of five years com
mencing June l next. Under the
terms of the lease Mr. Fritz is to
provide more room by the erection
Of an addition at the rear and the
construction work, which will be
handled by Frank Manley, will be
commenced as soon as the weather
permits and rushed to completion.
The addition will be 12x28, adding
336 square feet of floor space, which
will make the office fairly commod-
ious for a year or two, Mr.. Fritz be-
lieves.
Ladysmith has been entitled to
city carrier service for the past three
years and, when this convenience is
granted the city, room will be need
ed for the carriers desks or tables
With the Encouragement OF the Of
flee after the completion of the ad-
dition, it is thought there will be
plenty of room when needed to ac-
commodate the carriers.
Besides a Encouragement of the
present fixtures, Mr.. Fritz will in
stall some new steel fixtures Of mod
ern design, including twenty mail
boxes larger than any now in use
here
The business Of the local posiof-
flee has been growing steadily and
for the fiscal year ending March 81
next will amount to in the neigh
borho0d of $4,000. The business
done for the year ending March 81
1915, totalled $9,985.45. The business
done in January this year exceeded
by $148 the business of any previous
January. Even with the addition, the
office will be crowded and it VIII
only be a short time before condi
tlons will be as bad as they are now
for the proper handling of the grow
ing business OF the Ladysmith post
office. Possibly by that time the
government will get around to fur
nish permanent quarters Of ample
size for the needs OF the city.

sure that I am always sure to get
the mail on Monday.
We are having a very severe win
ter out here. The temperature has
dropped as low as SO and seldom
mounts above zero. It was at zero
this morning for the first time, at
that time of the day, in six weeks.
One good thing, the air is dry and
one does not feel the cold as bad as
in Ladysmith, where it is more
damp. | go 31@ miles to school and
have not yet suffered with the cold
Politics are getting warm out here
and they may ultimately have Gome
effect on the weather. | am cut
for County superintendent of Schools
and stand a good chance Of being
elected. Felix COnrath, brother to
the Conraths Of Rusk county, and a
former Ladysmith resident, is out
for sheriff and will in all probability
be elected.
Politics at this time Of the year
sounds kind Of funny, but our pri-
