GETTING Rid OF CANADA
THISTLES

Canada thistles are one of the
worst farm pests all over the coun-
try. Wisconsin probably has less of
it than most of the states. How
ever we have found a remedy, and a
good one 1t is remedy that pays
for its administration. 1t is none
other than to plant alfalfa where
the thistles are bad. Fortunately
the land that is most subject to
thistles is usually best suited to alf-
alta.
This is no matter of theory, al
though the conclusion could easily
have been arrived at theoretically.
Is has been tried and proved to be a
success There is no longer any
question about it. Those who want
to see alfalfa extension made more
rapidly look upon the Canada thistle
as not so bad after all. And quack
grass comes under the same head.
Alfalfa is its remedy, too.

BIG FIRE AT PRESCOTT
Entire Business Section Threatened

The worst fire that Prescott has
experienced in over a quarter of a
century completely destroyed the
McCray brick business block, land
mark of this section and among the
best structures in this city Wednes-
day night. For three hours men of
Prescott battled the flames, which
were famed by terrific northwest
wind with the thermometer at al
most twenty-five degrees below re-
70, before they had the fire under
control. Fred Wolf, while on one
of the fire ladders, sustained a hard
fall and became unconscious. Sew
eral firemen froze parts of their
faces and bodies as a result of the
intensely bitter cold.
The entire contents of the McCray
block were destroyed. This included
the stock of w. C. McCray & Co,
which was being inventoried, the
the large and valuable collection of
law books and other belongings of
Attorney Jessie S. Field, and the
docket book and other property of
George Cook, justice of the peace,
left in his office. A fireproof safe in
Mr.. Cooks Office lies in the ruins
and may yet yield its contents. Mr..
Fields loss is complete and it is not
thought the total insurance will be
more than one-quarter to one-third
of what it would cost to replace the
building and contents. The build
ing was owned by w. G. McCray,
who did not learn of his loss until
o'clock this morning Mr.. McCray
says he heard the fire bell while at
his home, but paid no special atten-
ton to it. Later he got out of bed
to answer a knock but didn't find
anybody. Later Mr.. Halves and
Mr.. Burns informed him of his loss.

INCREASE IN PHONE
PATRONAGE

The 1916 directories for the Pierce
County Telephone Co. show an IN
crease in patronage Of that company
that is gratifying to all concerned.
The line is extended about the coun-
try so that practically the entire
community is united by the service
at the local switchboard. 1t reach
es from within two and one-halt
miles Of Hudson on thenorth around
a circle that includes Martel on the
east, almost to Prescott on the south
and the lake is it's western limit.
This is a great advantage to the bust
ness as well as the social life of this
community
The local exchange takes care OF
973 active phones, 1852 in the city
and 511 in the country. Seven girls
are employed as operators here,
During the past few weeks, how
ever, illness has kept the force down
to three or four and these have had
a strenuous time of it, In Ellsworth
there are 261 phones in the village
and 374 in the country. The Rob
erts exhange has 155 phones and
Spring Valley 103.
The Company's total is 1866
phones, an increase Of 112 over last
year. In all there are Is switch
board operators employed.

FIFTH ANNUAL ROAD SCHOOL

Big Yearly Event to be held at
Madison, January 81 to February 5.
The Fifth Annual Road School of
the Wisconsin Highway Commission
which has become a fixture of in
terest in road and bridge con-
struction and maintenance, will be
held in the Assembly Chamber at
Madison, on January 81 to February
5, inclusive. At these meetings there
is discussed practically every vital
question concerning the various
types of roads and bridges; methods
machinery and tools used in con-
struction and maintenance as we'll as
the state highway law and its re-
Quirements and provisions.
Owing to the creation of the new
county road and bridge committees,
and to the increased state wide in.
terpst in the subject of road con-
struction and maintenance, it is
expected that the attendance
at the coming road school
will surpass that of any previous
wear, although the Wisconsin
Road Schools have always been more
largely attended than have similar
meetings in other states.
For convenience, closely allied
problems have been placed on the
program for discussion the same
day. Monday will be Reception
Day; Tuesday. Administration Day;
Wednesday, Construction Day;
Thursday, Maintenance Day; Fri
day, Miscellaneous Problems, (being
also County Highway Commission
ers' Day.; Saturday, Contracts and
Accounting.
Any citizen of Wisconsin, whether
officially connected with state aid
road work or not, is invited and
welcomed at all sessions. While the
program is designed especially 70
meet the needs of county highway
commissioners, county committees,
and road foremen, at the same time
contractors, engineers, and city Of
ficiaIs have found much to interest
them in the program and exhibits.
The exhibit of road machinery and
tools. always feature of the road
schools, will probably be even more
complete than usual.

BIG PURCHASES FOR THE
r. C. u.

Geo. M. Stewart, of the Stewart
Mercantile Co., returned home Mon
day from New York where, in COM
pany with Manager George Randall
of the Northern Jobbers Union, he
had been purchasing goods for that
organization and selecting manu-
facturers goods to be shown at the
r. G.. u. buying convention to be
held in Chicago in February.
The Retailers Commercial Union
is a comparatively young organiza-
ton. About eight years ago small
retail concerns in neighboring states
had been united under a somewhat
similar plan, and one of these in this
section had been started by Mr..
Stewart. He conceived the idea of
getting into his organization some
of the larger concerns and, after a
number had joined, the union was
enlarged further by a consolidation
with those in neighboring states.
Mr.. Stewart, Mr.. Randall of Chi
cago, and other live wire members
pushed the proposition along until
now it has nearly 400 members and
is capitalized at 100000.
Some idea of the size of their bust
ness might be CLEANED from the fact
that on this visit their representa-
tives bought in one lot one thousand
dozen flannel shirts for next autumn
delivery; another purchase was s,
900 cases of canned corn from one
wholesale dealer, also for fall de-
livery. Last year the r. C. U re-
tailed between twelve and fifteen
thousand dozen shirts.
Mr.. Stewart says that buying this
year is a hard proposition. The
clothing manufacturers will make
no promises for futures; the stock
which they have on hand is all that
they are sure of and purchases have
to be made outright.
The buying convention at Chicago
will be held in the Sherman House
and the manufacturers displays will
occupy five floors of that institution
The r. c. u, or rather its repre-
sentative, the Northern Jobbers
Ueion, will practically have contro
of that gigantic hosiery during
the ten days convention, for nc
manufacturers lines will be dis
played in the building during that
time, except those admitted by the
r. C. u. buyers.

NORMAL CUNTS IN
DOUBLE WIN

Two fast and exciting games
were played in the normal gym.
last Friday night and the peda-
gogues were victors in both of
them. The first and second teams
of Stout were the victims. In eth
er game the spectators got the full
worth of their money.
The second string men played the
the preliminary game. 1t was a
thriller. When the Stout seconds
came on the floor the crowd was
willing to concede them an easy
victory, they looked like a bunch
who would give the normal firsts a
hard scrimmage. But after a MN
ute or two of p ay it was very APP
parent that the two teams were
very evenly matched the peda-
goues' speed offset their shortage in
weight--and they soon gained a
slight lead which was never over
come.
Greedy had Frogner helpless at
center, while Morrow and Garb
err kept the Stout forWa' DIS in check
at all times. WHITEWATER and Nord-
by were altogether too fast for
their guards. One of the Stout
players was injured and had to be
carried from the floor, but his con-
dition was more the result of an in
jury received in a game the week
before than from his collision with a
normal player in this game. He was
completely recovered before the
boys left here Saturday morning
Stout scored s points in each half
for total of 16. The normal Sec
onds made IA in the first and 8 in
the second. for a total of 22.
The normal first team had an cas-
Ter victory, but the game was a
rough and tumble affair and a
thriller to watch. In the first half
Stout didn't score field basket.
while the Eggebrecht brothers and
Christian each scored one and Bethel
two. Stout made two free throws
in this period, making the score at
the end of the first half 10 to 2 in
favor of River Falls. In the final
round River Falls scored rs and
Stout Is, making the final count &c
to II in favor Of the locals.
The normal this year has the
best basketball team in its history,
and it's chances, at the present out
look, are splendid for the state
championship. The two Eggebrechts
stars of the state championship foot.
ball team, are the stars of the quint.
They are ably supported by Peter
son, Christian and Morrow. Bethel,
for several years the mainstay of the
Prescott high school quint, is star
of the first magnitude and Butch"
can always be depended upon to do
his share and more even against the
strongest opposition. Normal has
played five games this season and in
none of them nave they been very
sorely pressed. Their total score is
214 to their opponents 68. Large
crowds attended every one of their
home games, and they certainly de-
serve the patronage

WASHINGTON LETTER
from Hon. James A. Frear. 10th District

The preparedness discussion has
brought women prominently before
the public and before legislative
committees. Jane Adams, who
travelled to Europe on a peace mis-
sion, appeared before the Senate
Committee last week urging that
the extreme militarists were seeking
to alarm the country into extrava
giant war preparations at a time
when ali foreign countries were be-
coming physically and financially
exhausted other women appeared
with Miss Adams before the com
mittee and the unusual spectacle
was presented Of the highest legis-
latiye committee in the country
giving heed to arguments Of women
on the subject Of war preparations
based on the conditions found a.
broad.
Another woman who has been
giving speeches to small gatherings
is Lady Barlow Of England. She is
a Quakeress and believes the Euro
pean differences might have been
adjusted without war if more pub
licity had accompanied English di-
plomac
To show its unexpectedness she
said Just one week before the wars
declaration she left England for
Germany, while four Of her relatives
in parliament had no intimation at
that time that war was about to oc

CORN PROGRESS

The Northwestern states have
made the most amazing progress in
corn raising that can be recalled in
the history of the production oe this
grain in any particular section of
the United States" according to
Prof. r. A. Moore of the Wisconsin
Agricultural College, who today
made the awards for the mems ex-
hibits in the First National Corn
Show held in the mammoth Hill
Railway Building, st. Paul. The
trophey cups were given by the
First National Bank and North
western Trust Company. Prof.
Moore said Minnesota. Wisconsin,
The Dakotas, Montana. Idaho,
Washington and Oregon have a
wonderful future in the production
of corn and this means a cores
