TROOP X AUXILIARY

An Auxiliary to Troop K will be
organized Tuesday, July II, at eight
O'Clock, in the gymnasium. The pro-
moters of this organization plan to
look after the interests of the local
troop.
The first thing to be done is to
make Comforts small bags con-
tanning toilet articles, according to
prescribed specifications. Later
work will be to send reading matter
and other articles which will make
camp life more comfortable and
pleasant. All of Ladysmith, in fact
all of Rusk county, should be in
terested in this enterprise and should
meet and form this organized move
ment.
There is immediate need of funds
with which to get the materials.
Feeling sure of the support Of our
people, a group of young women un-
der the direction Of the Camp Fire
Girls will canvass the city next
week and collect such contributions
as you see fit to give. Remember,
the smallest donation will help. We
now have a chance to do something
definite to help these boys to pre-
pare for the great and patriotic task
they have undertaken. We cannot
go with them, so let us do our part
toward making their lives comfort
able. Don't let the girls wearing
the red, white, and blue arm bands
miss YOU.

CULTIVATE YOUR GARDEN

every man who cultivates a gar
den helps greatly to solve the
problem of feeding the nation
These are the words Of President
Wilson. After the garden is plant
ed, the work has just started. TO
make it a success means constant
care. A bulletin issued by the Agri-
cultural Experiment station of the
University of wisconsin says "The
hoe in the backyard is mighty good
backing for the flag on the front
porch" Use the hoe to keep the
surface soil loose and fine Hoe af-
ter each rain and at least once
week. Hoe as soon as the ground
is dry enough.
These words are addressed espec-
tally to the boys and girls of this
city who were given potatoes, corn,
cabbage and tomatoes by the Wom-
ans Club. The seed was planted by
them, and the plants came UP well.
Some Of these boys and girls, how
ever, seem to have lost their enthu-
siasm. At any rate, in many of the
plots quack grass is running a race
with the desired crops, and it is
winning the race. Weeds and pota-
toes cannot occupy the same space
at the same time. One or the 9TH
er will win out. It is very necessary
that the plots be looked after at
once. They must be hoed carefully
to loosen the soil and to kill the
weeds.
Plan right now to get after the
weeds-they are your enemies-kill
them by a little work nOw-you will
reap a good harvest as the result
of little labor. Do not be

LAND CLEARING DEMONSTRATION
Will Be On All Next Week at Sny-
der Farm Near Murry

The state cooperating with the
leading manufacturers of land clear
ing equipment and with the various
powder companies will conduct a
land clearing investigation and dem
onstration on the farm of VIM. Sny-
der at Murry, beginning Monday,
July 16, and working until evening,
Saturday, July 21.
The objects of the demonstration
are:
First: To investigate the cost of
clearing land by using different
equipment alone and in combination.
Accurate cost data will be kept.
Second: To demonstrate to the
new settlers the various methods
used by practical land clearing agen-
cies and to point out the most prac-
tical combinations for the settler in
this vicinity.
Mr.. Snyder pays the state the ac-
tual cost of clearing the land. The
demonstration will be free to the
public. A special appeal is made to
farmers who have located in this
county without previous land clear
ing experience. They are urged to
attend the demonstration any day
during the week to take actual part
in the work
The equipment of twenty-five men,
five teams and other apparatus will
work ten hours each day next week,
and~it is hoped that people through
out the county will find time to
study the work that is being done.

Editor News-Budget:
Hello Budget! Thinking you
would be interested in knowing what
We had to eat and do today down
here, / have set out to tell you. Be-
ing as our company is quarantined
Fin I have had somewhat of quiet
Fourth. A few cases of measles
broke out so they shut us off from
the rest. think we made up for it
by having some dinner. Anybody
that has an idea that the boys are
not well fed may change it. Break
fast was pretty light, but as we
passed down the mess line this noon,
ahead of us, could be seen chicken
and mashed potatoes, etc. Those at
the end of the line showed signs of
uneasiness as they were not sure it
would go around WE'LL l did not
worry about that, but when my
share had been given me, it consist
ed of chicken, mashed potatoes,
gravy, dumplings, cabbage cold slaw,
onion relish, sliced tomatoes, stewed
corn, bread and butter, cake, pie,
ice cream, bananas, oranges and
lemonade.
During week days the food is plain
but good, 50 there are none of us
can kick on the eats. We had to
spend the day in our tents.
We had a light rain today, but
that always happens on the Fourth
They still have bull fights in Ell
Paso, but the most fun the boys
have is to get a scorpion and taran-
tula in box and let them fight
While out on drills l have seen
many Lizards and horned toads.
There are many here from our nor
thern country and maybe we won't
be glad to get back again.
I am in the engineering corps, Co.
f., Second Engineers, and we are
going through good training that
can be used the rest of our lives,
except the trench digging and that
will come in handy when we get
across the pond.
Well, 1 hope everybody had a
good time up there. Best wishes and
regards to my friends.
Yours truly,
DALE McNALLY.

DESERVED BETTER ATTENDANCE

The chautauqua put on here for
the past six days by the "Jones
Chautauqua SYSTEM" of Perry, Ia,
was given poor attendance, probably
due to the short notice of their
coming here and insufficient adver-
tising. The talent presented was
merry good, and it seemed a reflac-
ton on Ladysmith's taste in the mat
ter of entertainment to see but a
handful of people out for such splen-
did programs. Platform Manager H.
H. Mass, assisted by E. L. Spencer,
represented the company here during
the week and worked hard to stir
up enthusiasm, and get better crowds
to turn out, but without much sue
cess.

The prospects seem bright for an
exhibition of pure bred live stock
which will surpass by at least fifty
head any show held previously at
the Rusk County Fair. Since last
fair time several herds of pure bred
cattle have been brought into the
county. The Brown Swiss this year
will be represented by a full class.
Not less than twenty-five pure bred
Guernseys have been imported in
the county since the last fair. A
large showing of high class Hol-
steins and Ayrshires is also assured.
The Board. of Directors are at this.
time laying some plans for better
barn accommodations for housing the
exhibits of pure bred stock. The
directors wish the farmers who
plan to exhibit notify the Secretary,
Mr. Frank Stare, Ladysmith, in or
der that housing accommodations can
be prepared that will take care of
the entire show.

BUSINESS SENSE, TOO.

We notice neat advertisement OF
Brown Printing Company, Sparta. in
the Sparta News, showing the faces of
Crock and Quill Brown, who are the
gentlemen that turn out "better print
ing" They are good printers and one
sentence IN their ad. shows that they
are men of business sense also.
They say: IF you want cheap PRINT
ing work, don't phone US; we don do
It." That smacks of sense--the sound
est kind of business sense. and we feel
confident they are stating truth that
all will recognize who have seen the
printing they turn out.
There Is no more reason why any
printer should do cheap printing"
than there is that doctor should do
"cheap doctorlng.
Brown Brothers demand living
profit and then give honest value for
it. That course means success and is
business sense, too.

We, the members of the bar al
Byrdstown, Tennessee, give our un'
qualified endorsement to the candidacy
of Hon. ". R. Officer, for Chancellor
of the Fourth Chancery Division.
Our long acquaintance with him
qualities US to testify of his sterling
and unsurpassing qualities as man, a
lawyer and a jurist. His natural en-
dowment and acquired knowledge of
the law and his lofty conception of
duty and the energy and fearlessness
with which he always addresses him
self to its performance, are all so fine
ly and fifty combined IN him the ideal
man for Chancellor. As such official
he would always be just and his judge
ment be tempered with mercy.
We believe he would so administer
the office as to be classed among the
ablest and best Chancelors the State
has produced.

from the strong and numerous endorse
