GROVE RAISES VALUE OF FARM
Encourage Raising Shade and
Ornamental Trees

AS we stated in last weeks paper
the State Bank Of Ladysmith will
pay premiums On groves and shade
trees. We wish to say now that
not less than one-half acre of groves
or less than forty shade and orna-
mental trees will be considered in
this test, but larger acreage and
a greater number of trees would be
considered in the final estimate as
an advantage
We have offered these premiums
as our experience has taught us that
farmers in a timber country take off
the native timber and put nothing
in it's place, thereby leaving the
country subject to the cold and
drifting SHOWS, while in prairie
country almost the first thing a set
tier thinks of is grove, and the
consequence is that the prairie
country, to quite an extent, becomes
timber country, with it's buildings
adj protected, and the timber coun-
try the reverse.
A farm that has it's buildings all
protected by groves and that has
shade and ornamental trees about
the house and street, will sell for
$1,000 to $500 per acre more than
the farm with none.

RIFLE CLUB HAS re- ORGANIZED
Government Furnishes Rifles and a
Certain Amount of Ammunition

The Ladysmith Rifle Club has re-
organized for 1917, and a large mem
bership is expected.
For the information Of those who
were not connected with it last
year, we will state that the club is
affiliated with the National Rifle
Association of America. Each five
members are furnished with a mill
tary rifle, which is the 1898 Krag-
Jorgenson. 120 rounds of ammuni-
milton are issued to each member
free of charge. Additional ammuni-
ton can be purchased at cost price.
Rifle practice is not mandatory but
may be held at any time num-
Der Of the members wish to go to
the range, provided they are ac-
companied by some officer of the
club.
The only expense connected with
| membership is that of local organ
ization, which is taken care Of by
annual dues of $500 per member.
The rifle range will be located
near Tulca Lake, on the Bruce
highway, which will be much more
convenient than the range used last
year.
Further information may be Sc
cured from E. L. Bruegger, presi-
dent, at Michaelson & Hughes Co.;
George Stine, vice-president, of Fa1ge
& Stine; S. o. Arnold, at State

missioner.-Results Through
out the County

Tuesdays election has put Lady
smth solidly in the "dry" column
apparently to stay there per.
manently.
By a vote of almost two to one,
the voters put the ban on the sale
of intoxicating liquors i'll this city,
commencing July l next, and the
leading "wet' advocates concede
that there is little likelihood of La
dysmith abandoning it's dry stand
for many years to come. Never
is the way some of them put it.
The campaign was hard-fought,
numerous effective circulars being
put out by the "drys" and address
es being made by strong speakers on
both sides. There is no doubt but
that the plea of Father Rice, of
Bruce, made many votes against the
saloon For the saloon advocates,
James w. Wharton, of Duluth, made
a very able speech Monday evening.
For city commissioner, George
Luen, avowedly license man, over
whelmingly defeated his opponent,
Effner Nelson, who had an anti-sa-
loon plank in his platform. Every
ward gave a majority against Ii
cense and at the same time a big
majority for Luell. The total vote
polled by Mr.. Luell was 428, by Mr..
Nelson 217.
The vote by wards on the saloon
issue and for city commissioner was

RECRUIT TO WAR STRENGTH

Edmund M. Houg, who has enlist
ed in the Ladysmith cavalry troop,
will be commissioned lieutenant Of
the troop and has commenced to-
day getting recruits at other towns
in this county. MT. Houg was at
Tony and Glen Flora today and will
be at Ingram and Hawkins Satur-
day Monday he will be at Weyer-
haeuser and Tuesday at Bruce. The
men will all be examined here
AS soon as notice Of the appoint
ment of DR.. Landmark as examining
surgeon is received there will be a
great influx of Ladysmith young
men, according to all indications,
sufficient to more than fill, no
doubt, the original number that was
to be enlisted here. Now that the
country has entered the war, how
ever, the local troop will be re-
cruited to full war strength, 115
men, at once.

Frank Daniels, aged 49,, a farmer
living in the town of Strickland, was
struck and instantly killed by east

while returning home from attend
ing the election at Strickland. He
leaves a family. The funeral was

B. Benek, a neighbor, was return

east of Strickland. Benek says
neither heard the train coming until
it was almost upon them, on a curve
He stepped Off the track just in
time to escape but his warning cry
to Daniels did not come quick
enough to save him. Daniels was
terribly mangled
Daniels was at least partly intoxi-
Gated. 1t is reported the saloon at
Strickland Was open election day
in disregard of the law.
Thirty steps more would have ia
ken Daniels to the road crossing
where he would have left the track,
only a short distance from his home.

as ANY GIRL SAFE?"

The Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst,
pastor of one of the most famous
churches in New York, re-
Gently resigned his pastorate to co.
operate in the preparation of ''Is
Any Girl Safe?' the first production
of the Anti-Vice Motion Picture Com.
pany which will be shown to adults
only at the Unique theater, Apr. 10.
DR.. Parkhurst thoroughly approves
of the film and together with Lieut..
Dan Costigan, head of the New York
Police Department vice squad, made
many interesting and valuable sug-
gestion from his experiences with
white slavers and underworld slum
workers from scenes in the play.
Briefly the story of 'Is Any Girl
Safer" is of two cadets. Kearns, the
first, is just about to ensnare a girl
in the meshes of the tenderloin when
he accidentally discovers that his
partner is planning to do the same
thing with his own sister
Following a fight with his fellow
panderer Kearns undergoes a change
of heart and rushes back to the
house where he has enticed his vic
tim and attempts to take her out
Nine. ST. Maurice, proprietress of the
house, calls her gangsters about he1
and some smashingly realistic
scenes follow.

5 PURE BRED s|RES
RUSk COUNTY FARMERS RECOG-
NlZE VALUE OF BLOODED
STOCK
AS EASY TO RAISE AS SCRUBS
Young Animals of "Good Breeding"
Can Now Be. Secured at
Reasonable Price

Five splendid pure bred sires were
added to Rusk county's dairy pop
ulation this week. On wednesday
the county agricultural representa-
tive went to Barron county and pur-
chased pure bred sires to head the
herds of the following farmers:
Sam Campbell. of Glen Flora, re-
ceived a yearling registered Jersey
sire The dam of this calf pro-
duced over 800 pounds of butter fat
as two-year-old.
G. S. Freeman, who lives south of
Ladysmith, received a finely marked
pure bred Guernsey, IL months old.
The dam and great dam of this
calf have averaged over 400 pounds
of butter fat per year for the past
three years, under ordinary farm
conditions.
A. c. Holden, of the Range Line,
received a 7-months-old calf which
combines the blood Of the famous
Dolly Dimple, May Rose families on
the sires' side, with the we'll known
Glen Wood Boy of Hadden family on
the dams side.
Tom Rote, who lives north of La
dysmith, secured pure bred Guern-
sey calf, 10 months old. While this
animal is not striking individual
his breeding more than makes up
for it. His dam produced 400 pounds
of butter fat with her second calf.
Young animals of very good breed
ing can be purchased at this time
at very reasonable prices. Their
value at the head Of any herd is
no longer doubted. There is little
if any excuse for even the most
humble settler using anything but
pure bred sire

Photographic mail order house, and
is also engaged in the moving pic
ture business at Pekin China, our

many automobiles there the Amer

He says, 'the Ford is sold here
more than any other car, then comes
the Overland, and far behind these
leaders, the Hup, Maxwell, packard
and many other makes. We have
some very fine roads here, especially
the road to the summer palace and
the roads about the city. I note
by the paper that a large shipment
of automobiles, some forty odd, are
being unloaded by the China Amer

BACK TO THE BADGER STATE

Herman Rasch, one of those who
was lured from Rusk county last
year to the Rio Grande country,
where winters are unknown" re-
turned to Ladysmith the first of
this week, having disposed of his
property in the border desert for
what he could get for it. No more
Texas for him.
Mr.. Rasch has moved his family
back, purchased a residence property
in the east end of the city, and ex-
poets to resume his old position in
one of the local manufacturing plants
Mr.. Rasch reports that others OF
the Rusk county colony at McAllen
Texas, are desirous of moving back
and doubtless will do so as soon
as they are able to.
The man who moves away from
Rusk county has little chance OF
bettering himself and many chances
Of being the loser thereby.

FIRE AT WOOD PRODUCTS PLANT
Enameling Building, Rebuilt After
January Fire, Burns Again

The Wood Products Co. sustained
another serious fire loss yesterday
noon when one wing Of the enamel
ing building was destroyed. This
is the same building that was de-
stroyed by fire in January and re-
built.
The fire started from an over
heated oven and at the time several
men and girls employed there were
eating their dinner in the same
room. AS soon as the fire started
it was discovered and attempts were
unsuccessfully made to put out the
blaze with hand extinguishers while
others We're getting the hose and
calling for water. Lack of pressure
resulted in giving a very poor
stream of water and the fire was
soon beyond control.
In the meantime the fire depart
ment had been called out, but al
though they made a quick response
the wing where the fire started was
all in flames when they arrived on
the scene. Good work was done,
however, in saving the other wing.
A spectacular feature of the fire
was the explosion Of a barrel Of
gasoline with a reverberating roar.
The larger portions of the barrel af-
ter ascending several hundred feet
fell only short distance from the
burning building, narrowly missing
several of the firemen and specta-
tors.

SMALL FREIGHT WRECK HERE

SMALL FREIGHT WRECK HERE
East-bound limited No. was de-
layed here six hours Sunday night
by small freight wreck at the east
end of the yards in this city. While
an extra freight was switching here,
drawbar dropped down and the
train separated in two parts. Not
knowing this, the engineer started
to back the train when the two
parts came together. Two cars load
ed with coal buckled up and the
wreckage blocked the track.
The cars were pushed off the
track to allow trains to pass. The
wrecked cars were burned, after the
coal had been reloaded.
