c.. A. Winters is erecting a cement
wall at the edge of the lawn at the
front of his residence on East Sew
enth-st. At one point the wall rises
fort about five feet from the street
to the surface of the terrace.
r. A Zitelman, proprietor of the
Ladysmith Potash Works, has in the
past week built for himself a resi-
dence just this side of the county
bridge" and adjacent to his plant.
In only little over a week, Mr..
Zitelman cleared up his site, built
his house, set out some shrubbery
and small fruits, and has garden
in, besides attending to his business.
That's surely "going some"
Mayor Thompson has had his resi-
dence repainted.

ENTER POTATO GROWING CONTEST
Over Two Hundred Rural School
Children Will Grow Pure-Bred
Seed Potatoes

Two hundred and twenty-three
rural school children have entered
the Potato Growing Contest and
agree to cooperate with the coun-
ty superintendent and the county
representative in growing pure-bred
seed potatoes. Each boy or girl will
receive one peck of pure certified
seed potatoes to be grown under the
direction of the county representa-
tive. The grower will have choice
Of the following varieties: Green
Mountains, Burbanks and Rural New
Workers. The Green Mountain has
been the most popular, with the
Rural New Yorker second and the
Burbank third.
Children from every part of the
county have entered the contest
This wide distribution of seed viii
give a very good comparison of thet e
three leading varieties of potatoes
under the same seasonal and soil
conditions. The results of the con-
test will be very helpful in deter
mining what variety of late potatoes
is best adapted to Rusk county.
Encourage the children in this good
work They will have first class sce1
potatoes to sell you next spring.

WILL DO NO PAVING THIS YEAR
Gravel Will Be Used on Streets To
Be Repaired This
Year

The city council and property own
ers residing on West Second-st and
on Miner-av met at the city hall
Monday evening to consider the
proposition of street paving. Con-
siderable difference of opinion was
expressed during the discussion of
the question as to whether the city
ought to do any paving at this
time. A majority of those present
seemed to favor gravelling the
streets mentioned, as has been done
with such satisfactory results on
Worden-av Those who urged paw
ing did so largely because they felt
that the city would save money by
paving now, inasmuch as there will
doubtless be demand for paving
these streets in few years anyway.
The meeting was called by the coun-
Gil in order to get an expression of
matter and to see how many would
be in favor of incurring the expense
of paving this year. Apparently
those who favored such action at
present were in the minority. The
meeting adjourned without any def
mite action being taken.
Wednesday evening, the city coun-
Gil met with the members OF the
county road committee and Fred
Sergeant, representing the state high
way commission, and it was decid-
ed to gravel all streets in the coun-
ty system, which will include West
Second-st, and the money remaining
for use in this city will then be eX-
pended on other streets if the state
will permit.
This action disposes finally of any
possibility of paving this year.

But harki harkl
In yonder park
Is surely the song Of meadow lark.
But list to the other merry strain
Telling of flowers, sunshine and rain,
That is the song of a robin l know,
Bidding farewell to the fast melting
snow.
Do you hear that steady tapping,

1t sounds as if young spring were
rapping,
Trying toj come to the earth, gray
and bare,
And fill it with beauty, fresh and

A bluejay is screaming out loud and
Trying to tell that spring is here
Everything's singing or buZzing or
humming
These are sure signs that spring is
coming!
