STATE BANK
CHANGES HANDS
New Interests Take Over Rusk
COunty's Largest Financial
Institution

The sale of the State Bank of Lady
smith to new interests, cOnsummated
this week, came as great surprise to
the majority of Ladysmith people
Coupled with the sale is the resig-
nation of MeSsrs. r. O. and j
O. Sinclair, as president and cashier
respectively, and ID. f. Clark, as vice
president.
N. j. Smith, Of the Menasha Paper
Co., has been elected president, with f.
l. Hughes and j. A. Michaelson, as
vice-presidents. The matter of cash
ier has not yet been decided on, but
will be arranged without delay. New
Neglected directors are: r. S. Johnson
N. J. Smith, Frank Fountain, J. A.
Michaelson and +. I. Hughes. These
are the strongest men, in a business
and financial way, in the city, and their
backing will give added prestige to the
oldest banking institution in the city
and the bank that has for years led all
other banks in the county in deposits
and in total amount of business han
died
This article must not be closed with
out giving deserved tribute to the men
who have so long guided the destinies
of this bank.
Coming here when LadySmith was a
struggling village, r. O. and J. Q. Sim
clair organized the State Bank OF Lady
smith Sept. IL, 1903, were elected as
it's first president and cashier, respect
lively, and remained in those posts OF
responsibility and honor in all the fif-
teen years since that time. They nave
worked hard, early and late, serving
the community faithfully, supporting
every move that enhanced it's interests
encouraging the new settler with kindly
words. advice and financial assistance,
putting their shoulder to the Wheei
whenever opportunity offered to secure
a new industry for the city. The
rapid growth of Ladysmith has often
been accompanied by problems IN
financing that were anything but easy
to meet, but the State Bank has ever
pursued policy of giving every Wor-
thy enterprise all the assistance possi-
bic. The Messrs Sinclair and their
business associates have carried much
of the strain of developing the city IN
new country and the country itself
from a wilderness into most produc-
tive section. The city and surrounding
country is indebted to them.

to their work for the advancement and
development of Ladysmith.

Sermons, Open Beautiful
House Of Worship
WILL MAKE BUNGALOW
OUT OF OLD CHURCH
Pledges For S11,OOO Necessary To
Meet Obligations Secured Sun
day By DIR. Thompson

Last Sunday the massive new
Methodist church erected in this city
at cost of $4,000, was opened for
public worship and large congregations
enjoyed the services of the day. The
building is ore of great architectural
beauty and it is one the city and con-
gregation can well be proud of.
The preacher of the day was the Rev,
Dr. John Thompson, Of Chicago, who
also led the congregation in the pledg-
ing of $1,000 necessary to meet the
obligations and to complete the build
ing
DR.. Thompson's evening text was
1 Peter :24,25 from which he devel-
oped two propositions: 'To do our best
as men is Natures challenge. to us, y
and "To teach Gods abiding word is
the paramount duty of the church. y
The sermon was full of incident and
pathos and eloquent appeal.
In the afternoon, Rev. G. L. Hooking,
Of Mabel, Minn., spoke. for former pas
tors and Rev. Grant Clark of the Con-
CUuINH ICIlSiCU
tions from the churches of the city.
At the evening service w. d. Morgan
explained the institutional character
of the church and turned over the keys
of the building to the congregation.
Mrs J. W. Carow, in accepting the
keys on behalf of the congregation,
made beautiful plea for the church
as family home.
The ritual of dedication was then
read by Rev. J. e. Kundert, district
superintendent.
The music by the chorus choir
throughout the day was of high or
der Mrs. Landmark presided at the
organ accompanied by Prof. Reichl on
the violin. Mrs. CarOw, Mrs George
Diedrich and Miss Maude Miller sang
inspiring solos, The pastor, Rev. John
Birrell, the strong men of the building
committee, and the members and adj
herents of the loyal congregation are
to be heartily congratulated on the
progress of their great enterprise.
The purpose in view is that men will
be better able to do justly, love mercy,
and walk humbIy with God"
The old church will be converted into
a bungalow parsonage, it's location be-
ing very convenient to the new house of
worship.

Large Number of Interested
Farmers Visit State Farm
Near COnrath
FIELD OF HEMP CROWDS
OUT QUACK GRASS PEST
System of Drainage of Flat Fields
With Ditch To Dead Burrows
Explained

Heavy roads and the rush of thresh-
inc failed to keep a large crowd of in
terested farmers away from the State
Demonstration Farm at COnrath last
Friday. The visitors were taken
through the fields by Prof. e. j. Del
wiche, who has had charge of the farm
as superintendent since its Inaugural
ton. The field of hemp which was
seeded on land infested with quack
grass was perhaps the most interesting
project this year The hemp has made
a rapid growth and promises to yield
a profitable crop of fiber The ground
was so completely shaded by the grow
ing hemp that no sign of quack grass
could be found. Later in the fall the
hemp will be cut and left as it falls on
the ground until the leaves have rOtted
away. The stalks will then be col
lected in bundles and shipped to the
state prison to furnish raw material
for binder twine.
Mr.. Delwiche called special attention
to the splendid crop of rutabagas and
mangleS. For the past five years these
roots have been grown at the station.
On the clay lands of Rusk county no
more profitable feeding crop can be
grown than rutabagas. A better stand
and larger yield of rutabagas has
been secured each year than mangles
Yields of 20 and % tons per acre are
not uncommon.
Oats and peas have been grown in a
limited way each year with never a
failure. This year a mixture of ~
bushels of field peas and ~ bushels
of oats were seeded per acre on two
acre field which had been prepared in
the same manner as ground is prepared
for corn. These two acres by actual
scale weight produced 8 tons of cured
Oat and pea hay. Oat and pea silage
has been tried by several farmers for
the past two seasons and it has dem
Onstrated that an oat and pea mixture
is superior, one year after another, on
clay lands to corn for either silage or
fodder.
The system of plowing sin beds or
lands" and connecting up the dead
burrows with an open surface ditch
has been demonstrated on the state
farm at Conrath to be the best possible
method of handling the heavier soils
which lie somewhat fiat. Mr.. Delwiche
explained the simple rules for laying
out the field which is to be plOwed in
this manner These directions may be
had by any farmer who applies to the
superintendent of the place. 1t is con-
servative to say that if this method of
plOwing and draining should be adopt

have paid its cost of maintenance ten
times over.

wheat and winter rye. will be threshed
at the farm this week and Rusk county
farmers may leave their orders imme-

meeting favored winter rye on all new

Winter wheat was recommended for
