LIGHTING CO. HAS TROU-

The Ladysmith Lighting Go. has had

battling condition to fight. When the
temperature drops low enough that
the river freezes over except immedi-
ately above the dam but it is not cold
enough to freeze over where the cur
rent is swift. anchor ice forms on
the water wheels and continues to in
crease in thickness until the wheels can
no longer reyolve.
The Lighting Co. had hard fight
TO keep the wheels going Wednesday
evening and the voltage dropped very
low. Again last night the trouble be-
came acute and finally. at o'clock
this morning the wheels stopped rum
ming altogether. At ten o'clock they
were running again.
To add to the company's difficulties
the cOmpanys auxiliary steam plant
was put out of commission this week
by the cracking of the crosshead of

NEW DOG LAW WILL
SOON BE IN FORCE
Wisconsin Has New Law That Re-
moves Menace to Sheep

We wish to call attention to the new
dog law that can be found in the Wis
conSin Law Supplement sent you some
time ago by the News-Budget. Look
for Chapter 527, page 1876, Laws of
1910. The law is too long to publish so
if interested you may read it there.
The law provides that owners must
keep all dogs securely tied or locked up
from sunset to sunrise The farmers
have legal license to shoot all stray
dogs that come on his premises day or
night The license for male dogs is
$500. and for females $500. Provis-
ions are made for re-imbursementS to
men who suffer losses of sheep from
dogs. and the owners of such dogs are
liable 10 heavy penalties for damages
done by their dogs when identified,
they being compelled to personally pay
for the sheep destroyed. When the
owner of the dogs that have killed
farm animals cannot be identified,
compensation for losses is paid by the
county out Of a special fund created
by the high license on dogs. This is
the strongest and best dog law that any
state ever adopted
The first license year will begin

HUNTERS URGED
TO USE CAUTION
More Men THAI Deer Will Be I'm
the Woods and Danger
Will Be Great

With the approach of the deer season
vation Commission grows apace AS
already pointed out. the present season
bids fair to Oyer-shadow and out rival
anything before recorded, in it's prob
able effect on the Wisconsin deer herd.
But the menace to the deer is as moth.
ing compared to the hazard Of human
life, inherent i'm the threatened cOnges-
ti0n of hunters in the northern coun-
ties of the state. The number of deer
tags issued this season has reached the
enormous total of approximately 10
900 as against an average of about %.
600 in prior years. The impending
congestion is materially augmented by
the fact that open territory was re-
duced by the closing of Jackson, Mara
thOn and Trempeleau counties. SO it
must be evident to the most casual
mind that there will be Il hunter in ev-
cry angle of the woods There will be
more hunters than deer in the timber.
The Commission therefor deems it
an imperative duty, officially and in
their individual capacity, to urge upon
the spOrtsmen the greatest caution in
the use of the rife. Any reckless dis
charge of their powerful weapons at
anything that moves" must he con-
sidered nothing short of deliberate
crime. Far from its being the slogan
of a real ''crack shot, we believe no
true sportsman (and we have reason
to know and respect the spOrtsmen of
Wisconsin, will be guilty of it. We
ask the hunters cooperation, as man TO
man. to spread this solemn word Of
warning. AS a conservation measure
it is our policy to urge the sparing OF
the does and fawns at least the fawnS.
But in this present appeal TO sporting
manhood, frankly, shoot does and
fawns if you must, slaughter every
thing the law allows-but mark well
ths-DO Not Fail To Look Before You
Shoot. Do not enter the woods with
the impression that 1.-The one buck law
is dead shoot ut anything you see that
looks like deer. Let every huntsman
stay his deadly bullet until he knows
beyond a doubt that he is shooting at a
deer. and that his mark is not a human
heart.

FREE 'T.-B." CLINIC
FOR LADYSMITH
Anti Tuberculosis Assn. to Con.
duct Free Chest Examina-
tiOns.-SuppOrted by
Xmas Seals

LadySmith is among 20 towns in the
state which will be given an opportu-
nifty to have one to three free tllbercu-
lOsiS clinics to be held by the Wisc0n-
| sin Anti-TuberculOSs Association be-
i fore Christmas as part of its regular
health extension program L he S e
clinics are being held in an effort to
emphasize the Importance of the early
discovery of the disease and to teach
that tuberculosis is durable and pre-
ventable.
These clinics are for people who have
tuberculosis. those who have been in
contact with tuberculous people and
for anyone who has symptoms point
ing to the need of chest examinations
Physicians from the staff Of the Wis
cOnsin Anti-Tuberculosis Association
will conduct the examinations. The
clinics are free, the project being
financed by funds raised through the
sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals.
which entirely support all the work of
the state association.
The great need of this work was dem
0nstrated by facts revealed through
the war. when over 1900 Wisconsin
young men were found unfit for service
because of tuberculosis and 600 more
were discharged from army camp for
the same reason. Many Of fthese young
men did not know they had tuberculo-
isis before this time. It is probable that
there is an equal number of c0nsumE
tive young women in the state.
These demonstration clinics have
been held with splendid success in
many communities of the state. The
places which have had the clinics have
been so awakened to the value of this
work in saving lives through the early
diagnosis of disease that several of
them have established permanent pub
lie health dispensaries. Among these
are Douglas. Marathon, Ashland, Iron
and bayfield, counties. At demonstra-
ton clinic held in Fond du Lac over
$50 people were examined and the ply
sicians have been similarly busy wher-
ever the clinics were held Physicians
have been especially interested in the
clinics and have brought cases for con-
sultatiOn with the examiners.
Workers from the state association
visit the towns preliminary TO the hold
ing of the clinics and cooperate with
local people in making preparations
