RENEW BARBERRY FIGHT
TO LESSEN RUST LOSS

Renewal of the campaign against the
common barberry bushes. dangerous
to the spring wheat crop because they
help to spread the black rust, has al
ready begun. The plant pathology de-
partment of the Wisconsin College of
Agriculture reports 100000 barberry
bushes were destroyed in this state last
year. that three counties were cleared
of the shrub and that six northern
counties have no paintings of the bar
berry
Although the grasses and volunteer
grain plants also help to spread black
rust by serving as a winter host for the
disease. the barberry gets most of the
blame because it gives the rust an ear
lier start than it gets on the grasses.
With favorable weather conditions the
rust spreads early in the summer. the
spores being carried by the wind. and
in it's second stage of growth. causes
disaster to the wheat. oats. barley and
rye crops.
The destruction of all the common
barberlies in Denmark proved SO sue
cessful as means of stopping the loss
from rust that the plan has been
adopted i'm this country. The states in
the Mississippi valley co-operated in
carrying on the fight last year at the
request of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.

LADYSMITH L p. @. HELD
OVER UNTIL NEXT SESSION

Among the bills that failed of pass
ing at the session of Congress that
closed Tuesday was the appropriation
bill that included $4,000 for federal
building at Ladysmith.
While the chances seem very favor
able for the success of this bill at the
next session of Congress, it is apparent
that there is no hope now Of the build
ing being erected this year, as Presi-
dent Wilson has announced that he
will not call special session of Con
gresS until he returns from France.
Until he made this announcement it
was thought that. considering the vast
amount of important legislation that
could not be finished at the session just
ended. an extra session would be
called immediately, but the president
decided otherwise.

NEW SYSTEM OF
FIRE SIGNALS
Ben Stelzman Perpetrates New
Plan To Inform Public
Where Fires Are

Through the originality of Ben
Stelzman, Ladysmith now has new
fire alarm system, by which firemen
and other citizens can learn in what
part of the city fire is located in
without telephOning or following the
fire apparatus to the scene Of the fire.
On the railing around the water
tower. 130 feet from the ground, and
on the south side, has been mounted d
steel box with series of electric lights
of different colors. Under the new
plan, the city is divided into eleven
sections and each section is given a
distinctive light signal.
Cards containing information as to
the signal lights and the street or sec
ton each is to indicate will be distrib-
uted the first of next week.
For example, one red light will in
dicate that the fire is on Pederson-av.
Two red lights will indicate Lake
av. If the letter Il appears illumin-
ated it means East Lake. otherwise it
means west.
Signals for the remaining districts
are as follows:
Miner-av. ; red lights.
Worden-av. red lights.
Fritz-av. ; red lights.
Corbett-av. 6 red lights.
