POTATO GROWERS MEET MAR. 20
Ladysmith Association Wants to Add
at Least Ore Hundred
Mere Members

Fellow Potato-GroW ers:
1t is not necessary i'll the present
stage of development of Rusk cOun-
ty for you to plant forty acres of
potatoes in order to be addressed as
a POtatO-GrOWer.
About thirty farmers met q. Mr..
Householder's office last spring to
talk potatoes" They were asked to
bring samples Of their best "spuds'
and the result was an exhibit Of
nearly thirty different varieties Cor
different names). All were very
good potatoes, yet q carload made up
of a mixture Of them would have
brought a price far below the top Of
the market.
The meeting was addressed by E..
t. Luther, of Oneida county, who
showed the advantages of communi-
ty potato growing as demonstrated by
what had been accomplished in other
localities.
The Ladysmith P0tato-GroWer AS
sociation was organized with a mem
bership of thirty, each of whom
agreed to plant one bushel of pure
bred Rural New Workers Or Green
MOuntains-some planted both. At
the same time Mr.. Householder put
out to Rural school children a large
amount Of certified seed Of these
two standard yarities. Last season
was a poor potato year, however
there ought to be sufficient OF this
pure-bred stock in the vicinity for
this seasons planting and the pro
duction of a good crop.
The Potato Growers Association
would like to add a hundred Or more
to its membership (only so cents
Iper) in order to make it's purpose
more effective. This region is pc
culiarly adapted to the seed potato
trade, which naturally pays the
highest prices, and We have got to
be in a position to advertise c0lIcc-
lively and ship in carload lots.
Progressive farmers everywhere
are organizing for the more profitable
handling Of the various products Cf
the farm in which each specializes
They are coming to realize that the
profitable marketing CT a crop is as
essential as its proper handling from
seed time to harvest
Let us gettOsether this year in
this potato BUSINESS and for onte
make believe that we are cO-partners
instead Ct competitors in business.
Whether you intend to join Or not,
you are urged to be present at the
annual potato meeting at the train
ing school Tuesday, March 13, at 2
o'clock. Some speaker VIII he pres
ent who will talk sense and we Will
make plans to get more cents than
usual out Of our next potato crop.

Secretary Trea suer.

IS and is

BOatswains Mate C. w. Motley u.
s N. of Milwaukee. a member of
a travelling recruiting party sent
out from the Navy Recruiting Station
at Milwaukee, is in Ladysmith MAX
ing arrangements for the party which
will visit this city for two days,
March 5 and 16, to examine and en-
list young men between the ages of
Is and 80 for service in the United
States Navy. The party will make
their headquarters at the postoffice
and applicants for enlistment should
apply there on the above dates.
Uncle Sam is now seeking thous-
ands of youths, especially those who
are athletically inclined and of the
hardy sort to enlist and go into train
ing for service on the big dread
naughts.
1t is a great chance for the boys to
enjoy the healthy outdoor life, TO
get the benefit Of the drills, and at
the same time to draw pay from the
government while receiving these
valuable instructions.
The young men who enlist from
Ladysmith will be sent to the Naval
Training Station at Great Lakes,
Iii. for a short training period before
being sent to the battleships for sea
duty
1t is a life which should appeal to
any youth, and there is the oppor-
tunity to learn trade while there
so that at the termination Of his
service he is thoroughly equipped to
go back into civil life with far
better advantages than the boy who
spends the same amount of time toll
ing in the shops or factories.
1t is now possible for the young
men who serve one year at sea to
obtain an honorable discharge with
out cost to themselves.
Any young man who desires to do
so may take the physical eXamina-
ton to see if he is physically fit
for service, but he does not have to
enlist unless he wishes. This eX-
animation will not place them under
any obligations.

WILL IMPROVE PHONE SERVICE
Telephone Co. Will Install Central
Energy System Here, in "The
Sweet Bye and Bye"

A letter was received by Mayor
THOMPSON this week from P. j. Skol-
sky. general manager of the Chlppe-
Wa Valley Telephone Co., in response
to the efforts of the council to get
better telephone service for Lady
smith than is at present accorded.
Mr.. Skolsky stated that the COM
pany had decided to install what is
known as a common battery or CEN
trail energy system" in this city and
that an order had been placed for a
new six-section switchboard for Lady,
smith to be completed Sept. Is, 1918.
Considerable additional apparatus
will also have to be installed and
the change will necessitate larger
quarters. Rates will also doubtless
be re-adjusted when the changes are
made
'In the meantime Mr.. Skolsky
states, "such changes will be made
with our present equipment as will
enable us to render satisfactory ser
vice."
When the central energy system
is put in, our telephones will all be
"self-starters'' and will not need
cranking. Telephoning will cease to
be an athletic exercise in Ladysm1th.

ONE MORE SCALP FOR LOCALS
Ladysmith Highs Swamp Barron on
Latter's Floor, So to II

The Barron highschool basket toss
ers tasted defeat on their home floor
last Saturday night when the strong
local quintet broke away from all
established precedents and rolled up
a score unequalled in the ANIMALS of
the two schools.
The game was rough and fast
throughout. The teams seemed fair
ly matched during the first few min
utes of play after which period the
locals started in steam roller fashion
and swept all before them. The bas-
ket proved a bit elusive during the
first half which held the score down
somewhat, the half ending Ladysmith
19 Barron g.
In the second half the local for
wards found" the basket so often
that the score keepers were kept too
busy to see the game. Barrors de-
Tense broke down entirely under
speedy attacks
The final count stood, Ladysmith
50, Barron II. The game was marked
with fouls, about 35 being called.
This Handicapped the locals consid-
erably, as the result is always a
slowing up Of the game.
1t is said that two of the Barron
regulars were 'out," if this is true
it is really too bad" ]. Shumway
accompanied the team and acted as
timekeeper, r. B. Woodwork as
coach.

COUNTY SCHOOL NEWS (

SlG y 9 . y @ q . o y o D y 9 q y y y V -
Many of the schools very appro-
priately observed the birthdays OF
Lincoln and Washington. This is in
deed very proper, as it beh9oves
teachers to teach patriotism and love
of country to the children the pres
ent year especially. Every school
flag should be displayed every
school day without fail severe
weather excepted
Miss Lottie North expects to re-
turn to her school about March first.
Miss Violet Steward is substituting
for her until that time. Miss Stew
ard will then go to her school in
Chippewa county, Where she will
teach the rest Of the year.
During the past week we visited
the schools taught by Misses Berg,
Sedmihradsky, Mattison, Ward, Ees-
sic Clark, Miller, Julia Nelson, FL
mer Chickering, O. j. Melby.
We found the conditions in most
schools very satisfactory, and teach
ers and pupils earnestly at work.
Owing in part to the storms and cold
weather the condition Of a few out
buildings are in a very had condition.
Teachers are again urged to see that
the conditions there are kept in prop
er shape. District officers should
also enquire frequently into that mat
ter, so that if repairs or corrections
are needed, they may be promptly at
the present conditions are far from
what the law contemplates. A large
share OF the responsibility in this
matter rests upon the teacher.
We are much gratified to be able
to report that the two Saturday in
stitutes held at Glen Flora and Bruce
respectively were splendid successes.
At the first named place over forty
were enrolled; at Bruce nearly sew
enty were in attendance, and the pro
grams were carried out as published.
A keen and lively interest was shown
as SO many teachers participated
either with papers, addresses Or dis
cussiOns.
Our hearty thanks are extended to
the several officers for preparin 8
and carrying out strong programs;
also for loyalty Of Rusk county
teachers in cooperating SO cordially.
Some teachers walked many miles
to attend; some drove from Rusk
Farm. Island Lake, Atlanta and Muir
ry. The Bruce and Glen Flora high
school pupils joined the teachers,
and contributed good musical num-
bers.
At Glen Flora the Ladies' Aid So
ciety served a splendid dinner for
all. Exhibits of pupils work were or
display at each place in the adjoin-
ing rooms. Many visitors were in
attendance, thus manifesting their
interest in our school work. A cor
dial welcome is always awaiting par
ents and friends at these meetings.

big success of the event.
Perhaps the very finest display OF
cordial good feeling and cooperation
between the parents and teachers
ever witnessed in Ladysmith was the
