OVER $50 PEOPLE ATTEND GATH
ERING OF GUERNSEY
BREEDERS
CARLOAD OF HEIFERS ARE SOLD
Snapped Up Like Hot Cakes"
Splendid Program, lnclud-
ing Cow Judging
Contests

One hundred and fifty admirers Of
the Guernsey cow enjoyed the Rusk
County Guernsey Breeders picnic at
the fair grounds last Saturday after
noon. Although the morning was
rainy and the weather threatening
until afternoon a large number of
people brought their picnic dinners
and enjoyed free coffee prepared
by McGillsI Bakery.
L. E. Scott, of Stanley, gave a very
practical talk, telling of the devel-
opment Of his Guernsey herd and
pointing out the superiority of the
breed over other dairy breeds as
economical butter fat producers. Mr..
Scott quoted figures to prove that
no other breed excels the Guernsey
in cheapness and production.
A. A. Hadden read an inspiring
story entitled when the Cows
Come Home
The Guernsey heifers that had been
purchased through the cooperation of
the Rusk County Bank and the Rusk
County Guernsey Breeders Associa-
ton were then sold at auction. AS
the old saying goes, "They went like
hot cakes" The highest bid was
$105 for a two-year-old heifer to
freshen next month. The average
for the two-year-olds was $780, They
were taken to several parts of the
county. These heifers were bought
in Portage county by that tireless
worker for the farmers, Mr.. House
holder, from some of the best herds
of that county. Several farmers
have expressed their desire to have
another carload of these good heifers
brought into Rusk county and sold
at cost. If enough orders are re-
ceived to justify the trip and the ex-
pense Of selecting this carload they
will be brought in soon. If you are
interested, please speak to Mr..
Streater, of the Rusk County Bank, or
to- L. e. McGill.
A cow-judging contest for men
and cowjudging contest for boys
was conducted by County Represent
ative Householder. The Karst Hard
ware donated a modern milk pail as
a prize and the Coon Hardware do
mated ten-gallon can as prize
for this contest. The vaughan Cloth
ing store donated one-half dozen
pairs of socks and a necktie as
prize in the boys contest. William
Sorels, of Sheldon, was first in the
mems contest. Walter Helm, of Tony
Won first prize in the boys contest.

A LOCAL CONCER RN
STOCK IN CHAIR FACTORY NEAR
LY ALL OWNED BY LADY
SMITH PEOPLE
J.F. MITCHELL IS NOW PRESIDENT
Over Thirty Men are Now Regular
ly Employed in This In
stitution

All but about $4,000 worth of the
stock of the A. w. Schram Mfs. Co.
is now owned by local parties, sc
the company is now strictly a La
dysmith concern.
The stock of G. Fl. Young, of New
London, Wis, who has been presi-
dent of the company, has been pur-
chased and j. f. Mitchell, Of this
city, has been elected to succeed Mr..
Young as president. Nate Hand, also
of Ladysmith, is now vice-president.
When the Schram factory was Sc
cured for Ladysmith, the officials
of the concern promised to give en-
ployment to at least twenty-five
men. Not counting the manage,
thirty-three men are now given en-
ployment by this growing industry.
In addition to the manufacture of
chairs, the factory is now turning
out very fine line of davenports, a
department. that, as previously men
toned in the News-Budget, was re
Gently added and which promises to
be very busy one. What would
otherwise be waste material is
now being utilized in the manufac-
ture of telephone sets, consisting of
stand and chairs in several attrac-
tive designs, and these are being
shipped in carload lots to such con-
Germs as the Fair Store, Chicago,
and other large department stores,
for use as premiums.
A shipment of two carloads Of
chairs and davenports will be made
to Omaha the first of the week.
Orders have been coming in rapid
ly and the company has enough Or
ders now in file to keep the factory
busy through the winter. Orders
amounting to over $4,000 have been
received within the past ten days.
The factory would run evenings but
sufficient electric power is not avail
able.
In spite of the amount of finished
product being shipped out, the plant
is filled almost full of stock in the
various stages of manufacture. At
the present rate of increase of
business, another building as large
as the one now occupied will be
erected within a couple of years.

series was called for this year.
The Dupont Powder Co. will have

If possible President Bissell of

operation in securing stump pullers
and dynamite in carload lots and the
saving possible in both. We need
more stump pullers at work and a
larger use of dynamite in upper Wis

The Wisconsin Advancement AS
sociation has carried to every corner
of the middle west information as
the productiveness Of upper Wiscon-
sin soil, and there is none better
than in Rusk county, now we want
to do something to improve the
methods of land clearing. The col
lege of agriculture is pioneering in
this work and it is up to the peo-
pie of the upper counties to give
the demonstrations the largest pos
sible attendance.
I hope the whole county will turn
out on these occasions.

! TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES {
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. SsSSSSxs.

For whose benefit is the RusE
County Training School in existence
First of all, it is vocational school,
1t was organized and is being sup
ported by the state and the county
jointly for the purpose of furnishing
teachers for the rural schools of this
county. The law is constantly adj
vancing the requirements for teach
ing; the people demand this. The
present requirement calls for at least
one year of professional training.
ing a state normal school is in
many cases prohibitive; hence, the
necessity for training schools. Teach
ers already in the service frequent
ly need help or advice or encourage
ment. 1t is the business of the train
ing school to gather the necessary
material and place it at the disposal
of the teachers. Often, too, school
board members may need help; to
them, as to the teachers, it is cheer
fully offered The county suporin-
tendent has so many duties to per-
form that it is often difficult to
find him or for him to give the
necessary time for such service. This
training school is glad to assist him
and to relieve him of some of this
work.
There is still another purpose
There are many young people in tn
county, especially young men, eighth
grade graduates, who need and want
more education. In cooperation with
the agricultural representative this
school stands ready to organize a
special course for them. This will
carry further the subjects already
studied. 1t will also add much vo-
cational training; that is, work il
business and agriculture. If the stu
dent desires, the work done can be
used as an Introductory course to
the training school proper. Such a
course will be organized as soon as
six or eight apply for it. Who will
be the first? Write to Principal
Dresden or to the county superln-
tendent Or to any member of the
training school board. If you see any
Of these or Mr.. Householder, talk it
over with them.
The county fair is rapidly ap-
Are the teachers pre-
pairing exhibits? If you want help
Or advice about selecting or arrang
ing your exhibits the training school
is ready to give it. Do not be back
ward about asking for such aid. 1t
will be given cheerfully whenever
you want it.
Your school is just beginning,
Miss Teacher. Are you having
trouble in arranging your program
or in classifying your pupils Or in
any other matter? Have you plenty
of ideas and material for opening
exercises or for busy work? Come to
the training school for help or write
for it.
