Out of Rusk County to
The War

Rusk county boys continue to hear
their cOuntry's call and every week
sees from one to a dozen going into
the service without waiting for the
draft. This is especially gratifying as
it is known that no one is likely to be
drafted from Rusk county for a long
time on account of the large number
of volunteers.
Fully 200 boys. the flower of Rusk
county's youth. have gone into the
various branches of the service, and
it is doubtful if there is single
branch without some representative
from this county.
Nine boys went into Uncle Sans
service Monday. Two of these, Mike
Singer and Elmer Larson, both of
Atlanta. we're sent by County Clerk
Munroc to Camp Greene Charlotte,

Salable value and was unlocked. No
clues were left. The thieves worked
quietly enough that no member of the
Vaughan family, sleeping overhead,
was awakened. Entrance to the store
was gained through the back door,
which had been unlocked, the glass
portion of the door having been
broken to permit of raising the wooden
bar. with which the door was also

HOLSTEIN MEN
TO MEET MAR. q
Annual Session at, Training
School Building Of Interest
to All Dairymen
PROMINENT DAIRYMEN !
ARE TO BE PRESENT
VIII Discuss Methods That Have
Brought Successfully Organize
Testing Association

Holstein breeders and dairymen
throughout the county who are inter
ested in the formation of cow testing
association will have Il banner day
Saturday, March % when the Rusk
County Holstein Breeders Association
hold their, annual meeting at Lady
smith. Practically enough signers have
been secured to form one COW testing
association in the county and it is
hoped that the advantages of an assO-
citation will be so clearly pointed out
at this meeting that at least two assO-
Citations for the county can be per-
fected While the arrangements for
the meetings are under the auspices of
the Rusk County Holstein Breeders
Association, it is to be understood that
the meeting is being planned as a gen
eral dairyman's convention, rather
than a meeting to boost for any par
ticular breed of cattle.
The program committee just received
word from George Cummings, Of Sill
yer Brook Farm, Eau Claire, that he
will be present. and discuss. the meth
DDS he has used in building up one OF
the finest herds of HOlsteins to be
found in north Wisconsin. The com
mittee has also received word from K.
J. Shaefer, of the Hillside Stock Farm,
Appleton, Wis, that he will come, to
the meeting, and tell what cow testing
associations have done throughout his
part of the country for the average
dairy farmer. Mr.. Shaefer is preSi-
dent of the Wisconsin Holstein Breed
ers' Association, in addition to own
ing herds in the state of Wisconsin. In
the past seven years his herd has made
30 yearly records that are classed in
the prize lists. These records include
one cow producing 122 pounds of but
ter and three 100 pound records. The
entire 81 records average over 500
pounds of butter per COW and herd
that was less than full age. 1t is sell
dom that man of such practical abil-
ity is secured to address county
meeting.
The State Dairymen's Association
is sending one of their field men to the
meeting to assist with the organization
of the testing association. There is no
reason why every real dairy farmer in
Rusk county should not be present at
this meeting when it is called to order
at the training school in Ladysmith on
March %

Must Await Trial

Lenroot explained that the investi-
CATION of La Follette's case, based on
his St Paul speech, was almost judi
cial in its nature and that no senator
or candidate for senator ought to give
his verdict unless Il trial is held and
the evidence all in. Every man has
a right to be heard in his own de-
fense" he said and La Toilette
should be accorded that right.
If his election III the senatorial con-
test depended upon giving a verdict in
the absence of trial in so solemn a
proceeding" Lenroot said, Il prefer
not to be elected. If upon such trial
disloyalty is established by the evi-
dence," he said, Il would vote to expel
la Follette" His statement was ap-
plauded
He again expressed his opinion OF
La Follette's attitude toward the war,

Citizens of Ladysmith Will De-
eide on Whether This Util-
ity Shall Be Pur-
chased
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
MEANS LOWER RATES
If City is Ever to Acquire the Plant.
Now is the Most Favorable
Time TO DO 1t

The question of municipal owner
ship of the light plant will come up
before the voters of Ladysmith next
Tuesday. On that day, the voters of
this city will adecide whether the
profit of over $4,000 made by the l.. f.
Myers Co. in a single year is going to
be sent to Chicago each year or kept in
Ladysmith.
The issue means much to Ladysmith
and to the future Of RuSk county, as it
is plain that now is the only time it is
certain that the plant can be bought
reasonably. AS was pointed out in
previous issues of the News-Budget,
when the voters decide TO buy the
plant, the Railroad Commission will
set the figure for its transfer to the
city. If, on the other hand the voters
should let this opportunity pass them
and allow the present owners TO de-
velop Big Falls and connect their
plant with that power, the severance
damages created by such connection
would be 50 great that the purchase
price would probably be prohibitive
Advantages of City Ownership
Although the sentiment Of the peo-
pie seems to he strongly in favor of
taking over the light plant now, the
News-Budget believes that the obvious
advantages to be gained by municipal
ownership should be set forth. TO be-
gin with. it seems the municipality
should be able to operate Il public
utility as economically as a private
owner Ii is possible for the city to
borrow money at a lower rate Of in
terest than private owners.
A municipal plant does not have to
pay dividends on watered stock" Not
only does private ownership burden
the people with higher rate of in
Ladysmith i'll one year of private own
ership not only paid this but on top of
it all she paid to the Chicago owners
a nice fat profit, over and above all
operating expenses, of S95123G.
Where DO The Profits Go?
Under private ownership the profits
go to individuals and in this case the
individuals are not even residents of
this city and have no interest in the
city other than to conduct their plant
for the good of their pocketbooks. The
pofits under city ownership go into the
public funds and therefore decrease
taxes, even for those who are not users
of electric light and power. The pur-
pose of municipal ownership is SER
vice and not profit. Municipality owned
plants cut down rates for the users
and for. the city and besides give better
service.
Who Furnishes the Power
The question of where the city will
get its power to run its plant is not an
issue in this election as the city can get
the same power that the present
lighting company is getting from the
Menasha Paper Co. and when any of
the water powers adjacent are devel-
oped, the needs of this city will have
to be satisfied before the power is
elsewhere.
