WARNING TO PARENTS

Two children narrowly escaped be

crossing near Hands barn Monday,
when they disregarded the warning
cries and flag of the crossing watch
man., AS soon as the switch engine
and string Of cars going east had
cleared the crossing these children
rushed across the tracks, paying no
heed to the flagman's efforts to stop
them. The west-bound way freight
was just pulling in on the next track
and the children ran directly in front
of it, barely getting across the track
in time. Their escape from probable
death was only a matter of inches.
Parents should warn their children
to pay strict heed to the signals of
the flagman..

FACTORY MAKES FINE SHOWING
PrindIe Cheese Foundry Knocks the
Whey Out Of Nine Tons
Of Milk

The Prindle cheese factory, locat-
ed four miles northeast of Ladysmith
has been making a very satisfactory
run this summer, for it's first sea-
son.
Allen Prindle, the secretary of the
farmers association for which Roy
Prindle operates the factory on a
commission basis, informs us that
the farmers patronizing this institu-
ton have received, for the period
between Aug. 29 and Sept. 20, an av-
erage price of 44.72 cents per pound
Of butter fat, which is certainly lib
eral returns. During this i'm e
1862 pounds of milk were delivered
at the factory, with an average test
Of percent. From this 1888 pounds
Of cheese We're made and sold at
an average price of nearly 19 cents.
The net price paid per hundred
weight of milk was $1.792, and 9.35
pounds of milk were all that were
required for pound of cheese. The
factory management is paid two cents
per pound for making the cheese,
and guarantees the farmers the mar
ket price for the product.

LAND CLEARING DEMONSTRATION
Glen Flora Meeting Brings Out Big
Crowd Of Interested Farmers

The land clearing demonstration at
Glen Flora was not as well attend
ed as on the similar occasion at Wey-
erhauser recently, but the interest
shown was at least as great and if
anything a larger percentage of peo-
pie were present who will actually
do land clearing themselves. Inter
est was equally divided between the
work of the mechanical appliances
for removing stumps and piling them
and the demonstration Of the results
to be had from the proper use OF
dynamite in taking the stumps out
bodily, as we'll as in splitting them
before pulling them out with a stump
puller; also, in ditching.
Both the Kirstin and Hercules
stump pullers were demonstrated.
The Kirstin machine pulled TWEEN
ty-five stumps at Glen, Flora We'd
nesday in two hours and forty-five
minutes, and it must be remembered
that no attempt was being made for
a record for speed, but no little time
was lost in explaining the various
steps and best ways to apply power
to secure the greatest advantage in
handling the stump. Eleven of the
stumps were shattered with the
cheapest grade of dynamite, using an
average of one and quarter pounds
of 20 percent dynamite per stump.
This make of machine in a private
demonstration at Weirgor some time
ago pulled 276 stumps in ten hours
for A. C. Thompson, of Ladysmith.

HOW A YANKEE ACTS AS KING

INV - fAiNNEE Az y 40 NlNG
There is no end of the search fol-
novelties in producing photoplays
and with scores of new. productions
issuing from the producers every
week the firm that can provide some
thing unusual either in theme or the
manner of it's presentation is surely
entitled to credit for enterprise and
reward for the endeavor.
Coming to the Unique theater on
Monday is the Bluebird Photoplay
in which Warrea Kerrigan is
starred, under the title Of "A Son
of the Immortals." This work has
an unusual plot and forwarding an
interesting story there is disclosed
conditions in an imaginary kingdom
over which an American is called to
rule.
Traditions are ruthlessly upset, and
the Yankee makes such headway in
popularity with his subjects that the
politicians Of the kingdom decide that
he must be removed, by means that
usually obtain in countries where as
sassination serves as a cross cut to
the purpose. But assassinating an
American seems to be difficult job,
especially when the plotters conspire
without thought of the public wishes.
Sensations follow each other in
rapid succession, there are all sorts
of explosions and battles, plots and
counterplots multiply and still, thru
it all, the Yankee keeps his literal
and figurative head unsevered.
There is a love story to heighten the
interest and hold together the strands
of sensationalism, and the usual hap
py ending is obtained through a
Star Spangled Banner incident
that is sure to arouse enthusiasm.
Warren Kerrigan has a splendid
part in which to display his dashing
personality and in the robes and sur
roundings of a King he displays
manliness and bearing that is sure
to add more hundreds to the thOus-
ands Of admirers who have made him
their ideal moving picture hero dur
ing the several years he has been
camera-acting in all sorts of subjects.

changed rooms. The steadily in
creasing enrolment in all of the low
er grades in the city is becoming,
more and more of perplexing prob

grades in the same building and some
in the west side building very nearly
approach that number.

Observation-Disclosures : :

The work of remodeling the heat
becoming accustomed to the noise
of plumbers tools, but none the less
we hope to be able to bid them fare
well before long.
The second half Of the first quar-
ter began this week. The first half
was broken into good deal The
prospects are that there will bea no
breaks in the second half. In spite
of the breaks the students have done
good work, but we expect still strong
er work will be done during the bal
ance of the quarter
Several new students enrolled this
week. There is good prospect for
still further increase. Two young
men are getting ready to do work
by correspondence, as they cannot
arrange affairs to attend the school
this winter. In spite of this disabil-
ity to attend the school they will
do as much work as possible by cor
respondence. Correspondence study
has proven success in many schools
and young people who are ambitious
to advance but who cannot leave
their work to attend school will do
well to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity Offered by this school to study
by correspondence.
Here are some of the things this
school is anxious to do for this cOun-
ty: Q)Help the teacher by confer
ences personally or by correspond
ence; (2)Co-operate with the County
Superintendent in teachers meetings,
institutes, and in all matters leading
to the improvement of the rural
schools; (3)Assist school board mem
bers in trying to solve school prob
lens; (4Assist the County Superin-
tendent and the Supervising Teacher
in their fieldwork; (5)Lend to schoo,s
books and other teaching material;
(6)Conduct correspondence work for
the benefit of those who wish to ad-
vance but cannot come to the school.
The Training School will not assist
anyone politically, but it stands
ready to make study of any school
problem of the county which has no
political bearing. This study will be
undertaken at the request of any cit
izen of the county.
The chief factor in increasing the
efficiency of the rural school, is the
teacher. Perfection in building and
excellence in equipment are excellent
to have, but count for little except
as they are employed by inspiring
and efficient teachers. The teacher
has it in her power to awaken inter
est, to shape public interest, and to
win from school patrons the support
needed for the adoption of new edu-
cational ideals. 1t is only as teach
ers understand the situation and give
their support to worthy reforms that
results will be secured. The Rusk
County Training School is trying to
produce teachers who will measure
up to this high standard. To accom-
plish results the support of every
school board member, teacher and
resident of rural districts is absolute
ly needed. 1t is confidently expected
that the school will have this sup
port.

CAMPBELL co. BUILD
ING FOR PERMANENCY IN
ERECTING THEIR
NEW MILL
WILL Be READY TO START JAN. l
Notes Concerning Progress Of I'm
portant New Industry That
Has Come to Ladysmith

The mammoth saWmill being con-
structed in this city by the Fountain
Campbell Lumber Co. is now all en-
closed and the roof is finished, SO
the completion of the plant is indie
dependent of the weather mans ca
price. The plant will start running
about the first of January.
Inspection of the plant is interest
ing enough to pay ony person
for walking out to the site. 1t is
very apparent 20 the most casual Wis
ltor that the plant is being very sub
stantially constructed. That perma-
nency is desired is evidenced by the
character of material used, and the
care taken in construction.
The mill stands exceptionally high,
being over sixteen feet between first
and second floors, and it's height is
made more noticeable on account of
the high elevation of the SITE The
main building is lao feet long and
81 feet wide. The upper story is 12
feet high The work of installing the
machinery in the mill is well under
way and the putting in Of the main
shaft in sections is about completed.
The walls of the power house. di-
menslons of which are 80 feet 8
inches by 60 feet, are Of Ladysmith
brick and are II inches thick. Two
boilers have been placed and room
Is left for another which will prob
ably be installed next spring The
power house is absolutely fire proof,
the roof being of corrugated steel,
supported by steel trusses. The floor,
OF course, is concrete. Both engines
and the dynamo are set and lined
up. The dynamo engine is of $50
horsepower, while power for the mill
is supplied by a Corliss engine Of
300 h. p.
The machine shop and blacksmith
shop combined, building 2Sx6O, has
been completed, as has the barn,
3ox70, that will accommodate thirty
horses.
A fine office building has been
built on the edge of the cliff. At
this point the Flambeau makes a
sweeping bend and this and the com
mandlng elevation makes a fine view
from the office, either UP river. or
down stream toward the city and
across the fair grounds. The interior
OF the office is finished in birch, i'm
ltation mahogany, and the building,
supplied by the mill with heat and
electric lights, is admirably fitted
for its purpose. This building is
3ox60 and contains large store room
at the rear.
A well has been sunk at the plant
to depth of 72 feet, from which is
obtained splendid flow of pure wat
er, well adapted for use in the boil
ers as it is quite soft, and unexcelled
as drinking water for the men en-
ployed in the plant
number of men and teams have
been busily engaged for some weeks
past in clearing and grading the
yard and this will result in a much
better and safer yard than would be
secured by the old-time method of
filling up the low places and depres-
sions with sawdust.
Some idea Of the massiveness and
number of foundations used in this
plant may be gained from the fact
that 2,300 bags of cement have been
used in the construction work.

CORN TREES

Corn stalks fourteen feet high, look
