AMACOY LOSES TO GLEN

Two baseball games were pulled
off, at the fair grounds Sunday after
noon.
In the first, the state guards defeat
ed the Ladysmith second team, Is to Z
John Carter, as pitcher, and Guy
Adams, as catcher, were the battery
for the guards. Art Wright did the
heaving for the city team, Gordon
Scribner being at the receiving end. In
the first inning of this game, Will
VOlkman, who had started as catcher
for the city team, was hurt in collis-

The other game was between Glen

tory for the team from "Glen," to 4.
This was a very good game.
The playing of two games Sunday

CHAUTAUQUA

The Ladysmith chautauqua for 1918
has been miserably small, compared to
what it ought to be in town the size
of Ladysmith, the talent has been
uniformly good and all who have at

WILL DISCUSS
GAME LAWS
Meeting Called For August IL
To Talk Over Proposed
Changes To Save
Game

The meeting called by the WiscOn-
sin Conservation Commission to be
held at the court house in Ladysmith,
August 18th at s 100 p. m. should call
out every sportsman in Rusk county,
as we understand the Conservation
Commission intend discussing not only
the deer law, but will go over the game
situation in Wisconsin and such pro-
posed amendments to the present game
laws as seem advisable after the vari-
Gus conferences with the spOrtsmen
throughout the state.
This is the first opportunity ever
afforded the Conservation Commission
and the sportsmen of having heart to
heart talk upon these questions which
are so generally misunderstood, and
much good will certainly result if the
spOrtsmen will turn out and meet with
the commission in friendly discus
sion of,these subjects. The commits
ton are in position to give the sports
men some valuable information that
will be of interest to all who are inter
ested in the states resources of fish
and game and the sportsmen should be
able to enlighten the commission upon
these subjects as viewed by the sports
men.
The commission are holding the
same sort of hearings in the thirty-one
counties of the state that have an open
season for hunting deer, which will
undoubtedly result in great benefit in
stimulating the sentiment for the
proper conservation of these resources.

A NEW FOOD ORDER

A new food order requires a license
for selling eggs from any business place
except directly to the consumer. 1t
does not affect the sale of eggs by a
producer, but after dealer obtains the
eggs, he must sell to a consumer or get
a license permitting him to sell to
others. The order particularly affects
country merchants, nearly all of whom
take eggs in exchange for merchandise
and ship them to wholesalers.

n.sry LITTLE TRAIN BUTCHER. ="

Members Of an infantry regiment
RAISING TO new quarters and probably
AN unknown port" yesterday stopped
long enough in Marshalltown TO receive
4 gift from the Red Cross canteen
service which they found most CRATE
full. The "" man in charge had tele-
graphed ahead to buy candy and
tobacco. The Red Cross gave the
articles much TO the pleasure and
qualification of the boys as Of the
donor.
One reason. the ~ man said. that
ne had telegraphed ahead for candies
was that the train butcher had been
charging so cents a bar for Herchev
bars and candies of similar cost
Still, if the boys had taken the candy
butcher by the slack Of the trusers
and swung him gently off the train to
the gravel it would have been con-
denned as a brutal act by rough neck
soldiers. AS it was they stood fol
him. They were the same fine looking

The candy butcher is a nuisance
pure and simple. He ought to be
abolished. Very often he is an active
