HOWE WILL SPEAK
AT SUNDAYS MEETING

Sunday evening the sixth of the
series of union services will be held
in the Christian church. 1t is hoped
to make this meeting the most rousing
one of the series. The interest in
these meetings has been constantly
growing, until last Sunday both the
body of the church and the galleries
were filled to overflowing, and people
had to be turned away for want OF
room. Not only have these meet
ings proved attractive to the members
of the churches, but many who do not
usually attend services Sunday even
ings came out to enjoy and to profit by
the fine music and the still finer SER
mons
At the meeting Sunday evening ID.
j. Howe will deliver the sermon.
There will be fine music. You are in
vited to help make it the most stirring
religious meeting Ladysmith has ever
had.

"SIX MONTHS in HE'LL AND BACK AGAIN.
MUST NOT KILL
HENS OR PULLETS

The United States Food Administra-
ton is now opening a campaign urging
farmers to refrain from selling hens
from this date to the first Of May. and
at the same time is requesting buy
ers to refrain from buying hens during
this period.
Every hen which is sold before the
first day Of May represents a food loss
to the nation of about thirty eggs. The
total loss of eggs represented by the
customary selling of hens between the
first of February and the first of May
amounts to about 150,00000O eggs. The
value of these eggs is about S0<per cent
OF what the hen is actually worth, SO
that this program does not entail loss
to the farmer. but actual gain.
No doubt protests will come from
people. but the Food Administration
feels. however. that the killing Of hens
Just before and during the heavy
spring lay is a wasteful practice, just
as wasteful as the killing of fresh milk
COWS for beef Failure to comply with
this ruling constitutes violation of
the food control act and is punishable
by fine of not more than $1,000 or by
Imprisonment for not more than two
years.

THE HABIT OF SAVING

Financiers in Wisconsin admit the

try will increase the savings accounts
in the banks a hundredfold after
peace is restored Today there are
100000 Wisconsonians who never
thought of opening q savings account
with bank now accommodating Thrift
Stamps 1t is but logical to believe
that this desire to ecOnOmiZe and save
has been III the mintls of men, women
and children on account Of their de-
sire to help their country during the
period of the war will continue when
the world is unity III democracy and
freedom. The lesson in Thrift that is
now being taught us will mean afflu-
ence and prosperity to pOsterityr The
boy and girl of today is amassing a
life's competency through their little
loans to Uncle Sam. In five years
from now, when these War Saving
Bonds mature. they will have Il sub
stantial amount of money to have
placed to their credit in their local
banks The germ OF Thrift has pene-
tratod their young systems, and as they
grow into manhood and womanhOod
the habit of saving will continue. The
habit of Thrift will become hereditary,
and will pass down from generation to

HELPING THE KAISER

The people who have stored large
quantities of flour and sugar are as
surely helping the Kaiser as his own
soldiers are. Information is coming
i'm rapidly of residents of Ladysmit!a
and Rusk county who have stored
away 500, 1000, 2,000 pounds of flour
and even larger quantities. Some OF
these persons are known, others are
suspected. Those who have surplus
Of flour and sugar on hand now have
an opportunity to return the same TO
the storekeeper who will pay for it..
The merchants throughout the country
have been unable to get from the
miIlers sufficient quantities of flour
with which to supply their customers.
1t is not the intention of the govern
nent to send this flour and sugar to
Europe but to get it onto the market
right here where those who need it will
have an. opportunity to buy it.
If those who are violating the law
by continuing to hold large quantities
Of flour and do nOt voluntarily return
the surplus the government will send
operatives here who will dig it out and
some people will then be widely adver-
tised as Kaiser helpers. The govern
ment usually does good job when it
starts out to enforce its laws.
The United States statute on this
subject reads as follows:
"Necessaries shall be deemed
to be boarded within the meaning
of this act when either held, con-
tracted for or arranged for by any
person i'm quantities i'm excess of
his reasonable requirements for
use or consumption by himself or
dependents for reasonable time.
ANY person who WiEifuliy boards
any necessaries shall upon con-
victiOn thereof be fined not exceed
ing $50G0.00 or be imprisoned for
not more than two years or both"
Ii has been ruled that thirty days
supply of food may be kept by the con-
sumner without violating the law.

FATAL ACCIDENT
AT PAPER MILL
Dan Weise Bumps Head Against
Belt And is Killed
BODY is FOUND BY
FELLOW WORKMAN
Leaves Large Family Who Return to
Their Former Home i'm
Iowa

Daniel Weise aged 81 years. who was
employed at the Menasha Paper Co. s
new mill in this city, was struck on the
head and fatally injured at about
5:30 last Saturday evening. and died
about three hours later, without re-
gaining consciousness.
Weise had been boring some holes
in a cement floor. Just exactly how
the accident occurred is a matter OF
conjecture, but ii is thought he got too
near the large belt and either fell
against it or bumped into it before
The steel belt hooks, used to fasten the
belt together evidently struck him in
the head, fracturing his skull.
Martin Hanson, a fellow-workman
missed him shortly before 6 and getting
no response to calls went in search of
his compaion, finding him weltering i'm
a pool of blood. The man was taken to
his home, near the Effner Nelson store
and doctors were rushed to his side,
but he was beyond earthly aid.
Mr. Weise moved his wife and fam
lily here from Reinbeck, Iowa, last
fall with the intention of going onto
farm in this vicinity in the spring
During the winter, he and three of his
boys had worked in the paper mill. In
addition, there were three smaller
children home, two girls and boy and
four older daughters who are married.
The remains were taken back to
Reinbeck, Iowa, Monday, accompanied
by the family, who have moved back
to their former home.

DRAMATIC CLUB

The Ladysmith Dramatic Club has

them just Il day or two before the date
on which the play was advertised tC

ponement until Tuesday evening OF
this week, but apparently the double
advertising only added to the interest
Ifor the result was an audience that
packed the Unique theater to the doors
and that howled" with glee all
through the three acts.
The posters advertised the produc-
ton as "a laugh from start to finish.
and it was very evident from the
audience that the claims was well
founded.
AS lotto Schmultz." the detective, .k
ID. Shumway handled the title role
effectively, while Alden j. Laidlaw as
the sleuth and cop Of Splinterville as
sisted materially i'll providing mirth
for the crowd. Carl Volkman in the
role Of an escaped lunatic. G. j.
Dregne. as the irate maj j0r with the
double aggravatiOn to worry him of a
runaway daughter and two lmatics
escaped from his asylum. and Floyd
Sabin, as the newly-wed in imminent
danger Of assassination. handled their
respective parts very creditably.
In all fairness. however, the femi-
nine members Of the company must be
awarded the palm for histrionic abil-
ity. Miss Ruby Collins had the part
Of the clipping and rather hysterical
bride. Miss Clara Soil was the queen
of the lunch cOunter-"she should
worry" Miss Mona Butler interpreted
the role of the spinsterly 'Araminta
Sourdrops," Mrs. c. j. Dregne that of
"Hortensy Smatters'' ESCAPED from

was the Dutch girl. Katrina Krout .
Miss Collins work demonstrated abil-
ity entirely out of the amateur class
AS "a vaudeville number, the song by
Miss Alden was rendered in real chorus
girl style and was loudly encored.
Music by Reichls orchestra was no
small factor in the success of the en-
tertainment.
