to "a Friday evening. The Cumber-
land lads outweighed the local team
and although they forced the game
in rough fashion their teamwork was
good and enabled them to obtain
a substantial lead in the first half
of the game. III this period they
made eighteen points on goals from
the field while Ladysmith garnered
five field baskets and one point on
a free throw for a total of eleven.
In the second half Cumberland re-
newed their rough tactics with more
Yigor than in the previous period,
and they were called many times
by the referee for illegal plays.
Hart, who played at a guard position
ON the Barron county team, was
alone penalized three times for per-
sonal fouls Upon committing q
fourth foul Of that nature he would
have been elected from the game.
In this half Cumberland made ten
points on four baskets from the
field and two free throws, while La
dysmith made three field baskets
and seven points on fouls for total
of thirteen points. Despite the fact
that the home team outpointed their
opponents in the second period, the
lead gained by the latter in the
first half could not be overcome and
the game went to the visitors.

CHAPTER I.

In the midmOrning quiet, the bath
ing beach and the ocean reflected only
the brightness Of the inviting sun.
But little way back from the glisten,
ing sand and converging through a
small park toward a suburban station
the streets Of the seaside resort were
alive with men and women, hurrying
to the city for the grind of the day
Motor cars, too, glided nOiselessly
along the boulevards, drew up in turn
before the station and discharged their
passengers. From one of these a mid.
dle-aged, military-looking man, Gen
eral Holmes, an eX-army officer and a
railroad man, alighted on the platform.
A governess and pretty little girl.
Helen-General Holmes only child.
had accompanied her father to the
train, and when he turned to the open
tonneau to say good-by, Helen sprang
impulsively half into his arms. His
train pulled in as he quite simply but
affectionately kissed his child and
boarded the nearest car.
Helen, promised a morning in the
park, left the motor car with her gov
erness the moment they crossed a
small scenic railroad running back of
the beach. She already had her eye
on what she wanted to play with. A
contented dog, at peace with the world
and summing himself on grassy slope,
had riveted her alert eye; Helen adj
vanced joyously to get acquainted.
The dog seemed not averse to a pas
sive friendship, but the little maid,
sitting down, sought something more,
and by pulling hard and with conf
Gence at his neck, soon had his un'
promising head-after a fashion, at
least-in her diminutive lap.
The strain On his sensibilities ap,
peared more than her amiable and
carefree friend could stand. After
submitting for time he rolled over,
jumped up and trotted briskly away
for new seclusion and new peace.
Helen, undaunted, sprang to her feet
and followed. Her governess, engaged
with the chauffeur, saw nothing Of
this part of the incident. But mo-
ment later the few spectators in the
scenic railroad square, waiting to
board one of the miniature trains, saw
a protesting dog trotting rapidly
away from a curly-haired girl, who
briskly and relentlessly followed
A newsboy, relaxing against a con-
venient lamp post after the morning
rush, watched the pursuit for a mo-
ment with languid interest, then
turned to look at an approaching
train on the scenic road. He seemed
no more than half awake. His wits,
in truth, were wool-gathering. Every
morning found him absorbed greatly
in the mysteries of the. miniature en-

ENDORSE PROJECT
DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION FA-
VORS PLAN TO ASSIST SET
TIERS CLEAR MORE LAND
BANQUET HELD AT BAKER HOTEL
Reclamaton Project to be Brought
Up at Spring Meeting of Coun-
ty Board

The attendance at the banquet and
business session of the Rusk County
Development Association, held at the
Baker hotel Monday evening, was not
as large as at the similar meeting
held few weeks previously, but
at that it was a successful meeting.
Prior to taking up the business of
the evening, the elmer man" was
regaled with a repast, served in four
courses, that gave one more proof
that the Baker hotel is more than
equal to any calls of this kind that
may be made upon its management.
Court House" cigars, a Rusk coun-
ty product, were then passed and the
president of the association, B. M.
Apker, of Weyerhaeuser then took
up the business for which the meet
ing had been called. This was to
hear reports Of the members of the
committee, appointed at the previous
meeting, on the merits of the recla-
Rusk county shall enter into, and
under the terms of which settlers
could obtain money for clearing land
and other reclamation work, at
low rate of interest from the county.
1t was shown by those who had
made investigation of the PROPOSE
ton that, by means of the proposed
bond issue, the funds for reclamation
work would be secured at neither
inconvenience nor expense to the
county, as the repayment of the
loans made would take care of the
bonds as they matured. Interest
paid by the borrowers from the fund
would be sufficient to pay the in
terest on the bonds and the expense
of administration. Money obtained
to clear or otherwise improve land
would be secured by first lien on
the consent of all parties having any
equity in the land whether the loan
could be made or not. Anyone who
felt his security would be imperiled
Or diminished could block any such
loan on land he was interested in.
This plan to give the settlers who
need assistance the means of clear
ing their land more rapidly will again
be brought to the attention of the
county board of Rusk county at the
spring meeting and strong effort
will be made to get the board to act
favorably on the proposition. In case
any possible question should arise as
to the legality of such a bond issue,
the association voted to cooperate
with the Wisconsin Advancement AS
sociation, who have signified a will
ingness to expend $500 toward carry
ing a friendly test case to the state
supreme court, and the Rusk County
Development Association st a II d
ready to expend an additional $500
in putting through test case, SO as
to absolutely protect the county from
any expense of this kind.
A committee, consisting of A. G.
Thompson, chairman, j. A. Michael
son and w. A Blackburn was, on
motion, appointed by the president to
secure a suitable slogan and trade
mark for the association, to be used
on stationery of all the members,
distinctive symbol that would typify
Rusk county's advantages. The gen
preciate suggestions from anyone
along this line.
