Wisconsin's two-cent fare now has
been wiped out by ar order from
Director General McAdOO filed with
the Wisconsin railroad commission to-
day Increased freight rates are to
go into effect June 10, nothing less than
three cents can be charged and there
are increases of 166 per cent for Pull
man service and per cent for tourist
service about the present charges.
Freight rates have been increased 20
per cent. Upon some commodities
schedules the increases will be 10 per
cent; all these freight rates increases
become effective June %. A rough
sketch made by statisticians today
shows that these increases will adj

LARGE CROWD AT
COMMENCEMENT
Three Members OF Class O1
1918 Already Enrolled in
the u. S. Navy

Commencement exercises of the
Ladysmith highschOol Wednesday
evening drew large crowd to the gym
naSium.
An innovation was the wearing OF
caps and gowns by the members OF the
graduating class for the first time in
the history of the Ladysmith high
school. This was done to promote
economy and do away with rivalry in
dress.
Prof. l.. d. Harvey, of Stout Insti-
tute. MenomOnie, delivered the com
mencement address and with ''The
Need For An American Citizenship
as his topic gave very interesting
and wholesome talk. He was closely
followed by the audience.
Owing to the fact that two members
of the graduating class, William
Schwartz and Earl r. Graham, navy
volunteers, had to leave on the "Vel-
vet Special" the program had to be
rushed through and the musical num-
bers had to be omitted.
Lyle McC0risOn, member of the
class and who came home on furlough
from the Great Lakes Naval Training
Station to attend the commencement,
was in his uniform and occupied a place
of honor in the center of the semi
circle made by the class.
The complete personnel OF the class
was given in our last iSue.

able in composition and delivery.

program was presented ana greatly

START WORK ON
GRAIN ELEVATOR
w. d. Morgan Co. Will Have
First Institution of Kind
in Rusk County

Work of eXcavating for the first
grain elevator to be erected in Rusk
county was started this week by w.
ID. Morgan Company.
The elevator is to be erected just
east of that company's large ware
house on WOrden-av and being in the
fire limits, will have to be of brick or
cement construction. Mr.. Morgan may
use cement blocks, but has not yet
definitely decided OH this point.
The building will be about 40X50 in
dimensions, extending to First-st and
when completed the Morgan Co. will
be enabled to unload four carloads on
it's spur simultaneously. They can
now unload three at the same time.
The elevator will be ready for use by
fall and will prove of great benefit to
the farmers of this section. 1t will help
Ladysmith by bringing farmers here
and adding to its advantages as trad
ing point.
There will be twelve large grain
| bins in the elevator, each 7X10 and 1G
| feet high. From six to ten carloads OF
grain can be accommodated in them
Room will be provided for increasing
the capacity of the elevator when need
arises.
| With the government asking greatly
increased production of wheat, an ele-
| vator has now become a real necessity
in Rusk county and the w. ID. Morgan
Co. is rendering a distinct service in
supplying it. That the farmers OF this
county are responding very readily tC
the plea of raising more wheat is evi
denced by the fact that the Morgan
Co. has sold nearly 600 bushels of seed
wheat this year, as against about ter
bushels year heretofore. They have
sold 1000 bushels of seed oats so fal
this year, as against an average OF
from 40 to 20 bushels in previous
years. Very evidently, the farmers OF
Rusk county are going to raise tal
more small grain crops this year thar
ever before.

BIG CROWD IN
SPITE OF RAIN
Memorial Day Program Draws
Audience That Packs Gym.
To The Doors

The Memorial Day program was
carried out as scheduled yesterday, in
utter disregard of the rain.
Graves of soldier dead in both Gene
teries were decorated.
Dinner was served to members of
the patriotic orders at the hall, and at
1 80 the parade to the gymnasium was
started. This was participated in by
the band, boy scouts, state guards,
Sons of Veterans, Ladies of the G. A.
r. and w. r. c. and the G. A. r. The
thinned ranks of the latter gave a
touch of pathos that was commented
on by many.
At the gymnasium splendid and
inspiring program was rendered. Flag
drills. patriotic songs and recitatiOns
and excellent addresses by B. Mac
Dresden and r. F. COrbett were the
principal features of one of the best
Memorial Day programs yet to be pre-
sented in Ladysmith The latter part
of the program was marred by an eX-
hibition of lack of good breeding by
quite number of people who kept
struggling out of the hall a few at a
time, so that those who wished to hear
the complete program were unable to
do So

BRAKEMAN CRUSHED
TO DEATH AT OWEN

Emil G. Storm, Stevens Point, brake
man on the 500, was crushed to death
under 500 Line car at Owen at lO :4O
o'clock Saturday morning when en-
gagged in switching the cars on extra
freight No. 2421 preparatory to leaving
on a run to Superior. There were no
eve witnesses to the tragedy. The man
gled remains of the man were disc0v-
cred in the 500 yards by members OF
the train crew with whom he was
working.
Storm evidently slipped under a
freight car or was struck by the ap-
preaching car where he was engaged
in switching. One arm is severed from
the body and his entire body crushed
from the shoulder down. There is evl-
dence of the body having been dragged
short distance, SO badly were the
remains disfigured that the man was
hardly recognizable by his friends. The
body was taken from Owen to Marsh

description of life at the front with the
faithful accuracy of detail of an eve

with the horror that some speakers
seem to believe is all there is to war.

FIREWORKS

Cover there precious lives must be
sacrificed in the cause of humanity
and world democracy.
Cover there" property is destroyed
by fire, shell and cannon as a result
of cruel war.
cover there heroic patriotism must
be displayed, that government by the
people, shall not perish from the
earth"
Over here, there is a special reason
that human lives, the man-pOwer of the
nation be saved and protected. Here
destruction of property by careless
fires is a crime. Here powder and eX-
plosives might we'll be saved for over
there.
Neither is powder and noise neces-
sary for a proper display of patriot
ism, even on Independence Day.
Well planned pageants. parades, flag
drills, picnics, band concerts and eXer-
cises in parks, and short timely war
talks are quite as interesting, and more
effective in developing and impressing
true patriotism, full of meaning instead
of noise.
| Such sane celebration would elm
mate the usual Fourth of July acci-
| dents and fires, lock-jaw powder
poisoning. blindness and death.
Realizing the extent and needless
ness of the Fourth of July sacrifices of
lives, limbs and property, this com
mission has considered the matter of
pr0mulgating an order regulating the
storage, display and use of fireworks
Strong objection has been made to
the commission against having such
an order take effect at this time.
Wholesalers and retailers of fire
works, claim that they have large
stocks of fireworks on hand, which
they will be unable to sell, if such or
der is enforced now.
After a full hearing and due con
Sideration, the commission decided
that such order go into effect on Sep
temher 1st, 1918.
Many cities have adopted ordinances
regulating or prohibiting fireworks.
Section 439Sf prohibits the sale OF
skyrockets, fireworks or fire crackers
containing picric acid, chlorate of pot
ash compound, dynamite, mixture o1

mixtures, pellets or tablets compound

LARGE CROWD PAYS
TRIBUTE TO r. NIELSEN

A most striking spectacle OF appre-
citation for what he had done toward
the defense of our country, was wit
messed here last Friday when a great
multitude of people from all over this
section gathered to pay their last
respects to the memory of Ray Sheri-
dan Nielsen, who had given his life in
the service of Uncle Sam. People
from Phillips, Ladysmith, Hawkins,
Catawba and the surrounding country
came in great numbers in automobiles,
in horse drawn rigs and by train to
mourn with Kennan in the first loss
from the number of our noble boys who
SO blithly set forth to battle an enemy
less than q year ago. The services Tor
our departed soldier boy were most
impressive throughout and the grim
tragedy of war was borne home to more
than one during the sad proceedings.
A detail of 30 men, commanded by
Can't. A. III. Galloway, were here from
the Ladysmith Home Guard and their
presence in uniform lent a military
effect to the funeral cortege which was
splendidly appropriate. The patriotic
kindness of the men of the Ladysmith
Home Guard in giving their services
and support at this time is most high
ly appreciated by the Kennan people.
This guard of honor was supple
mented by four Civil War veterans
| from Phillips who came all the way by
auto to pay tribute to one who had
volunteered to help uphold the freedom
| for which they had fought nearly sixty
years ago.
At the cemetery a most impressive
ceremony took place. A firing squad
from the Home Guard fired three vol
leys over the grave of the departed sol
dier followed by taps by Trumpeter
| Reichl Four Civil War veterans
thanked the departed comrade for what
he had done and placed an American
flag on the casket. Many tear was
shed during these impressive cere-
monies.
/ The burial of Private Ray s. Nielsen,
107th Military Police, has tended to
bring the realization of this awful war
home to us more than anything else
possibly could His part in the world
struggle has ended, but his memory
will live long in the hearts of the
Americans in this vicinity as one who
was willing, and did, give his all that
a nation might live in liberty and
