BOY SCOUTS HAVE FINE OUTING
Enjoyable Week at Beautiful Amacoy
Lake Terminated Mon
day

The Boy Scouts camping outing at
Amacoy lake terminated Monday
when the boys returned home. They
had fine time, one that will always
stand out as a high light in their
memory.
| There were twenty-five boys in the
company, under the supervision OF
Scout Master J. d. Shumway. The
object of the trip was to establish
discipline, to teach life-saving, the
saving of food, establishing sanitary
conditions, and to learn the boys how
to care for themselves properly, out
of doors.
A picnic dinner, given to the boys
Sunday by their parents, was one of
the big events of the week.
Emmons Thompson spent most of
the evenings during the week at the
camp and there were numerous other
| Visitors at the camp for a short
| time each.
From a letter written to Scout-Mas-
ter j. D. Shumway Of the Boy
Scouts by Siupt. L. F. Rahr, of the
Ladysmith schools, we take the
following relative to the Boy Scout
movement:
81 trust this note will find you
having the best time of your lives.
The intense beat last Monday COM
plQtely tired me out in the taking OF
1.-The census, and in consequence, l
was not able to accept Mr.. Shum-
ways invitation to say few words
to you that evening I thought OF
you when the storm struck and won
dered how you were faring, Mrs.
Shumway told me the next day of
your experiences. That is all part
of the game and only adds to the
fun.
''The Boy Scout movement is sure
ly wonderful one. l don't know OF
any organization that stands higher
in my estimation. Every organiza-
tion,- large or small, prominent or
otherwise has it's principles. And
the organization succeeds or fails on
those principles. Your organization
must succeed because it is based on
those principles that stand for a
better all-around American boy.
While at times the discipline may
feel somewhat severe, you can rest
assured that it is training you for
stronger and better life. 1 am
only sorry that in my boyhood days
the Boy Scout organization did not
exist. 1 am glad, however, to be
able to serve on your local council
and assure you that I shall do what
il can to make your organization
one of the best in the state of Wis
consin."

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE RED CROSS
Rusk County People Asked to- Affil-
late in Famous Organ
izaticn

The sufferings Of soldiers in the
Crimoan War first directed the
worlds humancr impulses toward
measures for the systematic care OF
the wounded. In 1859 when the Swiss
humanitarian, M. Henri Dunant, was
visiting Italy as tourist, he was
caught in the dreadful carnage of the
| battle of Solferino. Dunant person
ally ministered to the wounded, and
what is more important-he Or
ganized volunteers in the vicinity to
help him in the work. Soon after he
formulated the first proposals for
volunteer associations to care for
! the wounded of war and for the neu-
tralizetion CT the personnel Of such
relief associations His prophetic
vision even embraced the services
which such associations could rem
der in time Of epidemics, floods, and
other catastrOphes.
| NJ. Dunant's appeals resulted in
a preliminary conference held at
| Geneva in 1868, which in turn led
to an official international Con-
ference at Geneva in 1864. During
this second conference the delegates
from the United States made val
| uab,c-perhaps a dacisive-contrlbu-
tion by showing that the United
States Sanitary Commission, by ac-
tual relief operations, had already
solved problems which were troub-
| ling the conference and were MAX
| ing it's success matter of doubt.
The Geneva Convention adopted
at that time, revised in 1906, and
given additional force by the Hague
Conferences, was the formal begin
ming cf the Red Cross and for that
reason is sometimes called the "Red
Cross Treaty.
The name Red Cross comes from
the insignia adopted by the confer
ence-a Greek cross in red On a
white ground.
ernment Of the United States rati-
| fled the Geneva Convention Of 1864.
But in 1877 a self-appointed commit
tee to further the interests of the
R3d Cross movement in America was
formed in Washington; in 1881 the
Committee was enlarged and incor-
pOrated under the name Of the
American Association of the Red
Cross; in 1898 it was re-incorpor
ated as the american NATIONAL Red
Cross; in 1900 the Congress of the
United States gave to this organiZa-
ton a national charter and in 1905,
by Act Of Congress, the existing or
ganiZation was dissolved and a new

CROPS LOOK FINE
GRAINS AND FORAGE CROPS
PROMISE BUMPER YIELDS
IN RUSk COUNTY
PRESERVE The BEST SPECIMENS
Increased Premiums Are Offered For
Exhibits at Coming Rusk
County Fair

The small grains and forage crops
seldom look better throughout the
entire county than at the present
time. With the idea Of preserving
the best specimens of these crops
which may be used to advertise
the Rusk County Fair Association is
increasing the premium in the de-
partment of sheaf grain and cured
forage plants. Prizes of So first,
$3.50 second and $1.00 third will be
Offered on we'll cured samples of the
fall grains and forage plants, bound
into neat sheaves not less than three
inches in diameter. The prizes are
offered on sheaf Of Timothy, sheaf
of Red Top, sheaf OF Red Glover,
sheaf of Alfalfa, sheaf of Alsike
Glover, sheaf of oats, sheaf of Rye,
sheaf of Spells and sheaf of Barley.
A special premium of $500 for first,
$500 for second, and $500 for third
is offered on the best display of
cured forage plants made by any one
person.
The selection Of these forage
plants and small grains for exhibit
at the Fair this fall must be made
at this time. Small grain and for
age crops must be selected from the
standing grain just before the crop
dis ready for harvest. Selecting af-
ter it has been cut with binder or
mower is very unsatisfactory. Prizes
cannot be expected on exhibits
selected in this way.
Timothy, Red Top clover and Al
falfa should be cared for in as dark
a place as possible in order that
they retain their rich green color.
These prizes are large for this class
|of exhibits and a good display is
expected.

have a "profess:onaI' pitcher with a
build and delivery like Christy
MatheWson and his teammates ex-
peot him to be as effective, cOnsid-
ering what he has to oppose him.
In Con Martin. however, the bus
ness men have a man that they ex-
pect will make the OutfielderS prac-
tically unnecessary, and hold the pro-
fessonal men to not over one or two
accidental hits.
The Ladysmith band will furnish
some of the music.
There will be no admission price,
but a general collection will be ta-
ken up. the proceeds to go to the
local Red Cross Society The game
will commence at 2:30 and practically
all the business places will be closed

RAILWAY PATRONS AID
is ASKED IN WAR WORK

Shippers and receivers of freight
can be a potent factor in winning
the war by their unstinted cO-opera-
ton with the railroads. This, in sub
stance, is the conclusion reached as
a result of investigations being con-
Quoted by the Railroads war Board,
according to George w. Murnane,
secretary of the Twin City Sub-Com-
traffic moving normally in the north
west.
Shippers can aid immensely in
the war; Mr.. Murnane said, "by
loading cars to capacity, by giving
instructions to agents at various
points, and by getting bills Of lading
to stations early enough 50 move
ment OF cars will not be delayed.
Their efforts in loading quickly af-
ter cars are spotted will also be of
benefit.
Receivers can do their part by
unloading cars as soon as possible
after they are received, thereby re-
leasing this equipment for the haul
ing of other traffic. The lack of suf-
ficient freight cars to care for the
increased traffic incident to the war
really renders this cooperation nee
essary''
With this cooperation the railroad
managers feel that their efforts to
keep traffic moving regularly will re-
suit in solving the transportation
problem. Without it their almost
superhuman efforts to aid the gov
ernment and the &public in the
movement of supplies and the neces+
sities9 of life may not produce the
desired efficiency.

TO TROOP "k"

Here's to the boys of Rusk county,
The flower of manhood they say
They've given their service to Uncle
Sam,
They are eager to join the fray.
They have left behind the parental
roof,
Parents, wives, and sweethearts, too.
They are gone-with never a back
ward look
To fight for the red, white and blue.
We are proud of these boys of Rusk
county;
We are sorry we all can't go
And give our service to Uncle Sam
Direct, and help deal the blow.
Knock Kaiser Bill clean off the
globe
And beat him fair and square;
Rid Europe of this hellish war;
Unfurl "Old Glory there
There's the question of looking the
part.
Did they make it, these boys of
Troop "K"?
Why, when they got to Camp Doug
las
They were dubbed milwaukee, AZ
Now if that isn't taking honors,
We don't want any more facts;
But that couldn't last, SO now we
have
The millionaire Lumberiacks."
They're having the time of their
lives in Camp
'Obaying orders, too!
Just hear that sergeant's Eyes Sir"
AS the Major cracks him thru
They are at it, "Sohd Ivory and
Fighting Third"
"Noisy First claims to be the best,
And, if making noise is making
good,
They certainly lead the rest,
So here's to all of our Troopers.
With faces solemnly sad CD
They'll make short work of "can-
ming the KAISER"
These boys in olive drab.
Here's to them, the cream of Rusk
county,
They're worth it, they're true blue
l say,
So give it to them, all ready .
Three times three! WhOop'er UP for
Troop "K"!

Voigt livery barn and, famed by a
strong wind, soon consumed that
building, also the machinery shed
belonging to Cox & Wilson, burning
up several thousand dollars worth
of farm machinery, buggies and wag-
ons, three automobiles, an Overland,
Maxwell and Imperial, belonging to
Cox & Wilson, and new Overland
car, which had run but 23 miles, be-
longing to Mark r. Bell, of Lady

Cox & Wilson place their loss at
about $3,5OO, with $50 insurance on
their Overland. ME-. Voigt saved
his car and horses. The balance OF
his outfit was destroyed. Mr.. Voigt
had 5000 insurance on the barn. Ow-
ing to the heavy rain tuesday, the
fire was confined to these two
buildings. The fire department was
unable to do anything, as the flames
had too much headway before the
fire was discovered. The origin of
the fire is unknown.
