SUCCESSFUL HARVEST FESTIVAL
Enjoyable Meeting Held BY The
Rusk Farm Improvement
Club

In spite of a cold and driving
storm with occasional flurries of
snow, the harvest festival held by
the Rusk Farm improvement Club
last Friday afternoon was well at
tended and much enjoyed, the mem
bers OF the club and their friends.
About one hundred and fifty. were
present.
w. HI. Clark, thoroughly practi-
cal dairyman from Barron county, ex-
plained to the farmers his method
of dairy management under which
twelve cows in his herd last year
averaged 408 pounds of butter fat
per COW in official test. Mr.. Clark
urged beginners in the dairy business
to secure the services Of a pure
bred sire of one Of the four dairy
breeds. He quoted figures to show
that it was almost impossible for a
farmer to pay too much for q sire
whose ancestors fer several genera
tions back were known to be high
producers. Mr.. Clark gave abundant
proof to his statement that any far
mer can afford tc bcrrow money to
purchase a. silo snd a pure-bred sire.
Professor j. F. Volta from the
State Agricultural College urged the
small farmer with only two or three
cows to grow root crcps until their
herds were increased to point
where q silo could be profitably used.
Mr.. Volta advised rutabagas and
mangels for this territory stating
that as high as fifteen ton per acre
of these roots could he easily grown.
A COW Judging contest was con-

tical prizes were given for the win

! TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES /


Mayor Thompson of Ladysmith
presented the school with a chart
showing a large number Of speci-
mems of fur. Their real and their
trade names are given. This chart
is of great value in the teaching of
geography, especially of the fur in
dustry of Northern Wisconsin.
One or two teachers have written
for material to be used in Halloween
programs. We were glad to supply
them. There is more such material
left and at the disposal of the
teachers. 1t will soon be time to
prepare for that Christmas program.
Have you plenty of material or
hand? If not, let us help you.
Every teacher was furnished by
Supt. Rice with the September num-
Der of the Educational News Rulle-
tin. This issue contains very fine
outline of the new manual. Teacher,
what have you done with it? You
cannot afford to lose it. Gut out the
five columns outlining the manual
and mount them. Then hang the re-
sultlng chart on the school house
wall near your desk, where you can
see it all day long and USE it.
The school is rapidly approaching
the end of the first quarter. There
are some young people in the county
who may be considering the. advisa-
bility of entering the school, The be-
ginning of the second quarter, No
vember 18th, would be an appro-
pirate time to do So The principal
question is: Who ought to enter
this school? If you can possibly
manage to finish high school, by all
means do so. 1t will pay you in the
much better preparation you VIII
have, and it will pay you in the adj
dltional two years your certificate
VIII be valid for. If you have al
ready entered high school, you should
not transfer to this school if it can
be possibly avoided. If for any rea-
son you cannot possibly go to high
school, then this school will be glad
to enroll you, provided you are in
earnest in your desire to become a
teacher.

| At the close Of the October term

last week, Atty. L. E. McGill, deliv-
cred, in behalf Of the Rusk county
bar, an eloquent eulogy to the late
IfelloW-m ember, A. N Andersen. We
We're unable to get copies of this
| address, the resolution of the bar
and reply of Judge Wickham in time
for publication in our last issue.
Mr.. McGills address was as fol
lows:
May it please the Court:
On behalf Of the Rusk County Ear
it is now my duty, and | esteem it
an honor to speak in memory Of one
Of our members whose death occurre
in this city on the 18th day Of Sep
tember,. 1916.
Mr. Andersen was born in Nor
way little more than 40 years ago
and came with his parents to this
country when a mere boy. His par
ents were poor and while still very
young, death claimed his father and
lit devolved upon him to support his
mother, which he conscientiously did
until she died some years ago.
For many years he lived at Cum
berland, Wisconsin, where he worked
on his parents farm clearing land
when he was not obliged to work
out to earn money for the support of
himself and mother.
Early in life he was ambitious of
obtaining an education and of ris-
ing above his humble surroundings.
he was able to attend school winters
until he finally completed his high
school course, and for a time there
after taught in the country schools
of Barron county.
Not satisfied with being a school
teacher and having ambitions to be-
come a lawyer he attended the Uni
versity of Minnesota and graduated
from the Law Department, paying
his way by working at whatever he
could find to do.
Mr. Andersen had a pleasing per-
sonality and his private life was ex
emplary, and his service to his
clients was always performed con-
scientiously and well. Socially he
was the most companionable man;
and he preferred the company of
congenial friends to the solitude Of
his office. His nature was warm and
sympathetic; he was inclined to ac-
cept men at their face value and he
enjoyed the esteem of all classes;
commanded the confidence of liti-
giants and held the respect of the
bar
AS citizen he was generous,
public spirited and always ready
and willing to contribute to any
fund that would benefit his chosen
city, assist the poor or promote any
just enterprise.
Andy, as he was Familiarity called,
was one Of the most unselfish men /
have ever known, denying himself
personal comforts that his family
might enjoy to the fullest extent
the comforts and pleasures Of life.
He began the practice of law in
this city some 13 years ago and al
ways enjoyed good practice.
That he worked beyond his strength
there is no doubt; and it was appar-
ent to his friends some years ago

The problem Of English in the
schools of the country, which in
cludes the study of language and
grammar in the grades, is one of
the real problems confronting nearly
every community. There is no ques-
tion in the minds Of the adults who
give the matter careful thought that
the Importance of correct speech and
correct written work cannot be over
emphasized. And yet there is prob
ably no other subject in the entire
course of study upon which greater
results. Carelessness on the part of
adults as well as on the part of the
children often nullifies to large ex-
tent the work of the 'schoolroom. A
special effort is being made this year
in our schools to improve the Eng
lish work. With new and modern
texts in the intermediate grades, with
a special English teacher the jun
ior high school, some good results
must soon result. In the high school
Miss Hitchcock has a special class
of volunteers meeting at S:35 a. m.,
at which time the fundamentals are
reviewed and drilled upon. With the
cooperation of the citizens of Lady
smith, this very important matter
may soon be improved.

OFFERS $I,OOO FOR STREET BUSINESS INTERESTS WANT
 CITY TO GIVE FOR NOTHING
Letter Carrier Opposes Closing Hicks Murray Sees Value Highway n Strongly Opposes Grant-NoEody Objects Waterman Avenue Discontn
 

''I will give $1, ,00O for this stretch of street which this company wants to take for nothing.' declared. James H. Emmons, letter carrier of 1851 Noble avenue, before the common council last night in opposing the permission of the A. W. Burritt Go. to close Hicks street from Know1ton street to the Pe- Quonnock river.
 The laying of spur tracks in Housa- tonic avenue and the proposed closing of portions of Frederick and Herbert streets were also opposed. No opposi- ton developed to the petition of Alb. & B. Henke1 Go. for permission to close Waterman avenue from Con necticut avenue to the railroad track. Attorneys James A. Marr and John $. Pullman spoke for the petition.
 T. F. Murray, wholesale liquor deal CT, vigorously opposed the petition of the Burritt company to close Hicks street. He said-
 'I am opposed to the closing of the water.
 This street has been used for years blythe Burritt Go. for their business and they have never paid any taxes. They have had the use of $10 900 worth of ground, in this locality, free of taxes, for 20 years. Now that the city may want to use the street they ask to have it donated to them outright. I do not think you are warranted in giving away such valuable water front.
 Surely the Burritt Go. have had it long enough. This piece of property consists of 5,39o square feet to high water or 1O,78o feet to the harbor line and surely, when the new bridge is about 200 feet away this property will be very valuable. Some idea may be gained of the increased value of prop erty along the water front in the last 15 years. You are all familiar with the water front from Stratford avenue to Congress- street on the East Side.

THE BOY EARL

Herbrand Edward Dundonald Brassey5 Sackvil1e. ninth Earl de Ia Warr, is one of the youngest of Brit ish noble, attaining today the mature age of sixteen. The youthful peer is the present head of a family which is of special interest to Americans, since it's name was given to a bay/ river and state. The barony of De La Warr was first created in 1909, and, after Iapsing for a, time, was revived in 1872 It was Thomas West, third Lord de la Warr of the second crea- tion, who was appointed governor of Virginia. in 1909, and who gave his name to the bay he entered the fol- lowing year. The ear1dona dates from 1761, and the family also holds the titles of Baron West, Viscount Cante- lupe, and Baron Buckhurst. It was bv the latter title that the boy Earl was known prior to his succession to the earldom on the death of his father last December.
 The late Earl de la Warr was one of the boyhood chums of King
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-06-20

George, and the monarch has shown a friendly interest in the welfare of the son, who is a student at Eton. The boys mother, who was the Hon. Murie1 Agnes Brassey, daughter of the first Lord Brassey, divorced the late Earl in 1902, when her son was only two years old. The Earl soon af- terwards married Miss Hilda Tred- croft who divorced him in 1914, on charges of desertion and misconduct.
 The young Earl de la Warr. in spite of the matrimonial misfortunes of his late father, is considered a very desirable matrimonial 'catch,'' and, on the theory that it is the early bird that gets the worm, many designing
 mammas are already beginning to angle for him. The young Earl in herited a considerable estate, which was greatly increased in value a few years ago by the discovery of rich coal and iron deposits on the Sussex properties. The principal estate of the family is Buckhurst, Funbridge Wells. and the family also has fine estate at Bexhil1-on-Sea. The latter was a mere fishing village until some
