KEEP OEE The LAWNS!

With the disappearance Of the
snow and the coming of dry weather
a number of Ladysmith residents are
beginning to complain of pedestrians
making ''short cuts" across their
lawns and running the greensward
through this thoughtlessness. And
in connection with the traspassing
upon private lawns is also the
complaint of the depredations Of
flower thieves during the season
when the bushes and hedges around
private residences are in bloom.
Many fine flower bush has been
destroyed by the wanton action Of
flower vandals in breaking off twigs
and branches.
Walking without permission across
a lawn constitutes a violation I'M
der the law and can be prosecuted
under both city ordinances and state
statutes.

GREAT PLAY COMING
"BIRTH OF A NATION" WILL BE
SHOWN AT UNIQUE THEA
TER MAY 5
3O-PlECE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Famous Drama Of Reconstruction
Will Be Shown Here After
noon and Evening

The famous drama of civil war
time and incidents that has packed
theaters in the largest cities through
out the Countrywide Birth Of a
Nation'-Will be shown here at the
Unique theater Friday, May 5, mat
inee and evening. Undoubtedly the
theater's seating capacity will be
taxed to accommodate the crowds at
both performances. Prices charged
here will be the same and even low
er than prevailing prices for the
same production in the large cities.
One of the great features of the
presentation of "The Birth of Ma
ton" is the splendid music by the
symphony orchestra of thirty pieces,
The period of the Reconstruction,
so vividly brought back to the mem
ory of those who have gone through
it and reproduced afresh for those
newer generations who now view it
for the first time, in Grlfflth's
Birth of a Nation" shows the time
of Johnson's administration and he,
as the nations executive, in the
hands of a ring of politicians and
power seekers, who are manlpulat-
ing the affairs of the South to suit
their own ends. 1t turns to the ruins
of the flower decked South Carolina
village of ante bellum days, the place
where the blacks were light hearted
and care free, even under the bonds
of slavery-turns back to the town
that by war has been left half IN
ruins, the streets grass grown, the
stately mansions of the old days tot
tering and crumbling; to town
where those once wealthy now are
in direst poverty--Where the BLACK
is as good as a white man." as was
the slogan of the northern men OF
the Lynch and Stoneman type.
Women are menaced by the black
minions of the northern whites, or
are attacked, whites are driven from
the streets, menaced by the colored
troops, or assaulted. Homes are
invaded. Justice is forgotten thing.
The land knows no law but that con-
ceived by the race then in control.
Then the Ku Klux Khan is formed
These riders of the night, in ghost-
ly whites, rally by dozens, by scores,
and hundreds and thousands. They
ride like the wind. They strike with
out even the warning the rattlesnake
gives, but are far more deadly.
This all, wonderful, soul stirring,
eath-taking as it is, is but anoth r
of the innumerable dramas within
dramas of which THE Birth of Ma
ton" consists.
This glorious spectacle is to be
given here in it's entirety, with it's
accompanying symphony orchestra,
it's effect paraphrenalia and its
trained mechanicians for that pur-
pose and is to be put on here in the
same fashion down to the smallest
detail that amazed New York and
the other cities.

Ladysmith in Baseball League?
WIN. opduSICI, vi SoliiSlOIl, wa
known baseball promoter in this
section of the state, is in the city
today and gave out information as
regards the proposed organization of
a 500 Line league.
1t is planned to have the league
composed of the following towns:
Rice Lake, Barron, Ladysmlth,
Weyerhaeuser, and a choice of two
Of Bloomer, Chetek and Turtle Lake,
making circuit of six towns.
Each team must be composed of
strictly amateur players with the ex-
ception of the pitcher, who may re-
ceive not more than five dollars for
each game. Each team will pay it's
own expenses while playing out of
town the home team to furnish all
balls and the expense of an umpire,
the latter not to exceed two dollars.
Whether Ladysmith will take adj
vantage of this opportunity and get
into the league depends largely up
on the material support the city is
willing to give a team.
We learn from the Sawyer County
Record that G. w. Veness, of Exe-
land, has been appointed chairman of
the county board of that county. This
honor is fitting recognition, both OF
southern Sawyer county and of Mr.
Veness' ability. He has been mem
