WHOLE DIVISION
FOR WISCONSIN
Will Be Six Infantry Regiments,
Two Artillery and One
of Cavalry

Madison, Wis, July 1.-THE new
Wisconsin national guard is to be or
ganized as a division on peace
strength basis, according to Adjutant
General Holway, with 1917 enlisted
men in active service. 1t is the inten-
tion of the adjutant general to give
preference wherever practicable to com
missoned officers with overseas exper-
ience However, these officers will not
be assigned to active duty unless they
desire it. But the adjutant general
has been promised the active assist
seas officer in the reorganization of the
national guard.
Adjutant General Holway has just
returned from Washington where he
was called last week for a conference
on the reorganization of the national
guard. Before leaving for Phillips to
personally muster in the first company,
he announced his plans for the organi-
ZatiOn of the new Wisconsin division
as follows:
Six regiments of infantry with 559S
enlisted men.
One regiment of cavalry with 933 en-
listed men.
One regiment light artillery with $50
men.
One regiment of heavy field artillery
with $40 men.
One regiment Of engineers with 933
enlisted men.
One field signal battalion with 200
enlisted men,.
Two field hospitals with so enlisted
men each, 160.
Two ambulance companies with so
enlisted men, each, 160
men,
Three battalions of machine gun
companies with 933 enlisted men.
Every mail is bringing dozens of ap-
plicatiOns from overseas officers and
enlisted men to be PLACID in the nation
al guard reserve or in active service,
and the adjutant general anticipated
no trouble in filling all organizations to
their peace strength within very short
time. Preference is to be given for the
reorganization of the old national
guard organizations, the state guards
will come next and if the full strength
is not secured from them then entirely
new organizations will be considered
The Wisconsin state guard, organ
lied in 1917 to replace the national
guard when it was called into federal
service, will practically have completed
it's service with the annual encamp-
ment at Camp Douglas the last of this
month and the first of August. How
ever, the state guard will not be mus
tered out of service until sufficient
number Of new national guard compan-
les have been mustered in to maintain
the military strength of the state.

BEAT RICELAKE
SCORE 2 TO |
Ladysmith Wins Another Fast
and Close Game.-COrnell
Here Sunday

Ladysmith defeated Rice Lake in a
fast game on the local diamond Sun
day. by the low score of 2 to l. Both
teams played hard to win and as is
evident from the score there was no
let-up in the interest of the spectators
until the last man was out. Both
teams played a good defensive game
and the battery work was very effect
i've on both sides.
Next Sunday, the fans can see an
other good game on the home grounds
and the turnout should be good. The
attendance has so far been far short of
what it should be, considering the class
of playing that has been dished up this
year.
Ladysmith NETS the Cornell team
again Sunday and although the locals
have won two games from Cornell the
lads from the wood board town are
coming up here with desperate re-
solve to win. They have a strong team
and will make the locals play hard
The admission prices Sunday will be
35 cents for gentlemen % cents for
ladies and 10 cents for children.

.CREETS PEOPLE
OF RUSK COUNTY
Supt. Burns Declares Schools
Must Keep Pace Wit h
Strides Made by the
World

The undersigned desires to extend
his greeting to the people of Rusk
county The state has called me to
take uD the work recently laid down by
our friend, the late O. e. Rice, for
many years superintendent of the
schools of our county. In assuming
the duties of the office | am conscious
of the magnitude and vital Importance
of the work of our schools.
The men of today, those who are now
making the worlds history, are but the
children of yesterday. Upon you | re-
ly for council, suggestion and co-Opera-
ton. to the end that the children of to-
day may be so taught, guided trained
and inspired that the sacrifices you
have made in home, in cantOnment, in
camp, and on the firing line shall not
have been in vain; that our flag, our
country, and her sacred institutions,
re-dedicated Ey you to LIBERTY shall
find in their hands safe custodians
As one looks about over the varied
industries OF our land one is impressed
with the limitless number of products
of human labor One class of workers
toll to produce food to maintain the
lives and satisfy the physical hunger
of man and beast. Another class makes
products of wood; another of iron ;
another delyeS into the mighty deep or
navigates the vast eXpanse OF the air.
Others devote themselves to transport
oe MI
ing such products at the door of the
consumer. Still another class of work
ers devote themselves to saving men ;
the physician and nurse, to saving
mems bodies the clergymen to saving
mems souls.
Schools and teachers, in co-Opera
ton with homes, are dedicated to the
work of building manhood, and develop
ing men, Though weak, timid, and I'M
developed the little child may be, still
he possesses latent powers and possi-
bilities of development. Who is prophet
enough to forecast the future of a child
of five years Was John Pershing
much different at five, than any one of
a million other five year olds?
During the years just passed we
have heard much about the Man Power
of the various belligerents. The group
of nations with superior Man Power
won the war and saved the world for
democracy. Man Power of a nation,
state, or community is determined in
quality and quantity by the character
and number of men. Men constitute a
state. The schools are the states insti-
tutiOns dedicated and devoted to the
development Of her men. Schools are
second to no civic institution when the
future happiness and security of our
country hang in the balance.
Much progress has been made by tire
schools during the last ten years. The
world has progressed with such light
ming stride that it is questionable If
the schools are not relatively in the
rear The period of reconstruction of
the world is laying upon us large du-
ties. With your help and cooperation,
we approach the work of educational
leadership, confident that what ought
to Ee done can be done.
Yours truly,
r. Ell. BURNS,
Superintendent.

WORK ON BIG FALLS
POWER SITE TO BEGIN

Mgr. c. Collins, of the Big Falls
Power Co, was here yesterday making
preparations to begin the construction
of the big dam.
Officers of the town of Dewey were
interviewed and given assurances that
the power company would pay half the
expense in placing the Big Falls road in
shape so that heavy loads could be
hauled over it. Work will be COM
menced at once to meet the company's
request.
1t is quite probable that the machin-
cry for making the Soundings, etc, and
all preliminary work, such as erecting
the different buildings, placing the T..
N. e. railway in shape for train SER
vice etc. will be gotten under way in
the very near future.-Tony Tribune.

GRAINS SHOW NO DECREASE

Madison, Wis, July 15-Unlike the
grain crops of the whole United States,
Wisconsin grain crops on July l did not
show a decrease as compared with June
1, according to the July crop report Of
Joseph A. Becker, of the Wisconsin
Crop Reporting service (U. IS. Bureau
of Crop Estimates and Wisconsin State
Department of Agricultural. While
oats and barley showed a decrease in
condition since June l. the forecasted
production was not decreased This
is due to the fact that as the crop ap-
proaches nearer the harvest, the hazard
of probability of decrease in condition
by harvest time is lessened.
Based on July 1 conditions, the total
wheat crop is estimated at 11,210,000
bushels, compared with a forecast of
11,025.000 bushels on June T, and a
production of 9,S37 900 bushels in 1915
The condition of winter wheat on
July 1 was 95 per cent of normal, COM
pared with 94 on June 1, 70 on July 1,
1918, and a 10-year average of 81. The
expected production is 2.312000 bushels
compared with 100000 on June /,
and harvest of 1,276,O00 bushels in
1918.
The condition of spring wheat on
July / was 93 per cent, the same as on
June 1. On July 1, 1918, the condition
was 81 per cent and the 10-year aver
age is 80. A production of $685. 900
bushels is fOrecasted, compared with a
forecast on June 1 of S,G91, 900 bushels
and production in 1913 of 1861 900
bushels.
The condition of oats on July | was
93 per cent of normal, compared with
94 on June this year, "a on July | last
year, and a 10-year average of 81.
Rust on oats in various sections of the
state was largely responsible for the
decreased condition of this crop. A
harvest of 90,312000 bushels of oats is
forecasted, compared with the June
forecast of 90,1S4,000 bushels, and a
production in 1918 of 110,162,000
bushels.
The condition of barley in Wiscon-
sin declined due to the appearance of
rust in many fields. The condition a
year ago on July l was 50 per cent, the
10-year average 90.
The condition of rye increased from
% per cent on June 1 to 81 per cent on
July l. The hot weather of the last
half of June ripened this grain and the
harvest began on July /. Condition a
year ago on July 1 was % per cent and
the 10-year average 80. The forecaste1
reduction was 9,335, 900 bushels as com
pared with the June forecast Of 9,0S7,-
600 bushels and production of 1914
600 in 1918
1t is estimated that 40 per cent Of
| the 1918 crop of wheat, or $4,000
| bushels, is still in farmers hands A
year ago only 1.5 per cent, or 10000
| bushels, was still on the farms of the
state.

Same Interests Have just Purchased

The matter of wholesale house for
Ladysmith, which has had more or less
discussion and investigation for some
time past, has finally terminated in
something definite and a branch of the

ing in this city by the latter part of

to the east end of the present Morgan
warehouse. The addition will be con-
structed of cement blocks the same as
the present structure. Dimensions will
be 50XS0. with full basement. The work
of construction will be started at once.
The new concern also gets the use of
tn east end of the basement under the
present structure and Mr.. Morgan will
give them temporary quarters in the
east end of his building. This will en-
able the company to start doing bust
ness here at once. When the addition
Is COHIpleIeu. tney Will NdCdIe the HISL-
floor portion of the present building.
The business of the Morgan Produce
Co. will go on as it has in the past and
is in no way connected with the new
wholesale house.
Stability of the new concern is indi-
Gated by the fact that they have just
bought out the Blodgett wholesale gro
Gerry plant at Marshfield. The head
office of the concern will probably be at
Marshfield
Opening a wholesale grocery house
here will be benefit not only to Lady
smith but the surrounding territory.
1t will give quicker service to mer-
chants in this part of the state and
save them something in transportation
charges. This will have some effect ON
prices.
The concern will give employment to
a number of pOple here and the number
will be gradually increased as the busi-
ness develops.
