Nav Account for Colors.

What was the color of the original
man? There is an old legend that
Adam was red, based on the assump-
ton that It was red earth (triturated
"old red sandstone perhaps) from
which the Almighty nodded him; but
Tabari, the Arabian theological his
torian, asserts that, when God wished
TO make Adam he instructed Gabriel TO
bring him handful of every sort OF
clay-black, white, red, yellow, blue
and every other kind. This, perhaps,
was intended to explain how Adams
descendants became so many-colored.
DeQuatrefages, who championed the
monogenist idea, found reasons for
thinking that the first human species
had yellowish complexion and red
hair.

THAT MORNING
LAMENESS

If you are lame every morning and
suffer urinary ills, there must be a
cause. Often it's weak kidneys. To
strengthen the weakened kidneys and
avert more serious troubles use DOan'S
Kidney Pills. You can rely on Lady
smith testimony.
Mrs. A. Anheir, 721 e. Worden Ave,
Ladysmith, says: when | caught
cold it settled on my kidneys and had
sharp cutting pains like knife stabs in
my back There were days when it
was all l could do to keep up; my
back hurt me so / couldn't bend over
My kidneys acted too often, too. Morn
ings / got up feeling SO tired out l
could hardly drag myself around the
house and / was just miserable DOan's
Kidney Pills quickly relieved me and
after | had finished the second box of
Doan's the pains were relieved and my
kidneys acted regularly. DOan's Kid
ney Pills did me more good than any
other kidney remedy l had ever tried"
Price 60c at all dealers. Don't

WAS NOT KENDALL
OF LADYSMITH

Among the names of those reported
as captured or missing in the Ger
man trench raid in which three Amer
leans were killed, five wounded, and
twelve were missing, was that of Vern
M. Kendall of Oklahoma. The simil-
arity of names led at once to the belief
that this was Vern L. Kendall former
ly of this city and a graduate of the
Ladysmith highschOOl.
But it was not the Vernon T. Ken
dali, who is the brother of Mrs. DR.. q.
w. Day of Ladysmith, who lived here
for number ofyears. His father was
a well-known carpenter and builder
and constructed number of homes.
The son was a graduate of the class OF
1905 at the highschool and shortly
afterward went with his parents to
San Francisco. Later they moved to
Oregon and Vern is now a soldier in
Oregon National Guard. He has been
ordered with his division to be ready to
sail for France but the Oregon troops
are still in the United States.
The Kendall who was reported as
missing in France, is credited to Rolfe,
Oklahoma.

HOGS IN RUSK

The fact that a hog will help get the
land of Northern Wisconsin ready for
the pillow is an argument for breeding
and raising swine in Rusk county. AT
the price of pork now, 5000 hogs in
Rusk would mean about $250,000 added
to the county's wealth and one of the
quickest assets known to the farm
Of course it is to the advantage of
every one to have the very best breed
and type of stock But the community
can join at the beginning of the neigh
bOrhOOd drove. and from that start it
is no great distance to the pens of
swine capable of maturing to the high
est possible selling value.
The News-Budget is not welded to,
nor has any interest in any particular
breed or kind of hog, but it has been
asking the question for weeks: why
are there not more hogs in Rusk cOun-
ty?" Answer almost invariably: BE
cause this is not a corn country" But
there are still hogs that are capable of
living, fattening and thriving on the
lands here and the foods Nature has
SO abundantly supplied-on the clover
and the barley, the oats and rye
while in the summer season, forage in
the woods and the cut-Over lands pro-
vides the most perfect pasture.
We have had demonstration of
what can be done by the 500 road and
it is a good thing to profit by the eX-
ample. The experience with corn last
year was disastrous all over the upper
pendable crop. Forget it. There are
other things that cannot be beaten
anywhere in the world raised on these
lands which turn the woods and fields
into gold.

RUSK COUNTY'S SPLENDID RE
SP0NSE

1t was with some feeling of doubt
that the committee in charge of the
Liberty bond sale, confronted the re-
quest of the government that Rusk
county subscribe for $4,000 of the
second loan. 1t was pile of money to
ask of this new community when the
greater number of the people are
spending time, energy and money to
make farms out of wilderness. There
fore it was all the more gratifying
when the final results came in and it
was known that, not only had Rusk
county taken the amount asked, but
had gone over the top by $1,000. In
other words, this county had bought
Liberty bonds in the sum of $780, $50.
The allotment for the county was
based on the same foundation as for
the older and weather. sections. 1t
was to be ten per cent of the banking
resources. 1t takes money to trans
