PIGS AND PROSPERITY
GO HAND IN HAND

George Schultz. living on the ole
John Young place 4 miles southwest OF
this city, is another one of the many
Rusk county farmers who have demon
strated that pigs and prosperity are
synonymous around here.
Mr.. Schultz bought five pigs in No,
vember, 1917, paying 5000 for them.
During the past months Mr. Schultz
has sold hogs to the amount of $500,
or considerably over ten times the
amount Of his original investment
He lost one pig, has butchered one for
the use of his family, has two more to
butcher and has six fall pigs, of No
vember 1913, to continue the money
making process. If this isn't getting
good returns, what is?
incidentally, peas are one of the
best feeds for pigs obtainable
Farmers who fail to adopt the pigs
peas and prosperity formula are over
looking an opportunity for sure
profits.

THE WHISPERING CHORUS
TO BE SHOWN HERE
NEXT WEEK

Conceded to lie one Of the most dra-
matte phOtoplaYs ever produced, 'The
Whispering Chorus" a Cecil B. De
Mile production for Aircraft will be
shown at the Unique theater next Mon
day. The picture is based upon the
novel of the same name by Perley
Poore Sheehan, recently published
serially III leading magazine. The
scenario was prepared by Jeanie Mac
pherson, a brilliant writer, who
achieved fame as the scenariost OF
Joan the Woman" 'The Woman God
Forgot "A Little American" and
other famous cinema successes.
The theme of the picture is one OF
self-sacrifice and it contains all the ele-
ments that appeal successfully to the
human emotions. The story is that OF
a man. burdened by debt, who steals
money from the corporation with
which he is employed. TO escape ar
rest he drops out of sight to lead the
life of hermit fisherman, leaving his
wife and mother in ignorance OF his
whereabouts. He exchanges clothing
with a body which he fishes out OF the
river and the police are not only con-
vinced that Trimble is dead, but that
he was murdered.
Assuming a false name he becomes a
steyedore and is hunted by the police
as the man who slew himself. He re-
turns home clandestinely to see his
mother and is arrested for his own
murder. His wife, who had married
again i'm the belief that she was a
widow. sees him after his conviction
and rather than destroy her happi-
ness. he convinces her that they had
never met before and goes to his doom
smilingly The story is replete with
dramatic situations that thrill.

Ladysmith Will Soon Have the
Best of Telephone
Service
ALL PHONES IN CITY
WILL BE CHANGED
Entire Second Floor of Page Block
Will BE Occupied-Cut Over
To Occur April Is

Work was commenced Monday on the
complete remodelling of the Ladysmith
telephone exchange which, when COM
pleted will give this city a system thor
oughly modern.
The entire second floor of the Page
building will hereafter be occupied by
the exchange, the front rooms having
been recently vacated by DR.. r. NJ.
Lea, and a general Encouragement of
the interior will be made.
In the front end of the building will
be the large operating room, light and
airy. Extending down the center of
this room will be the switchboard,
which will be brand new" of the lat
est and most approved design. Provis-
ION will be made for five operators and
there will be plenty Of room left for
adding on to the switchboard as soon
rs the growth Of the city makes that
number too small
East Of the operating room will be
jhe apparatus ROOM
At the head of the stairs will be To-
Gated the Office, or public and COM
mercial department. Manager II. w.
Allen will have his desk in this room,
IS will the clerk and cashier, Miss
Blanche Fritz. This will take this de-
partment away from the noise of the
operating room and save the latter
room the annoyance of frequent inter-
ruptions
An Improvement that will be greatly
appreciated by the operators will be
he rest room which will be provided
for their use. This will provide the
GIRLS with pleasant retreat during
their rest periods, or during any spare
time they may have when off duty.
Toilet facilities will be provided.
1t will require probably month to
complete the work of remodelling the
building. Installation of new equip
ment, including the new switchboard,
will then be commenced. All the tele-
phones will be changed eliminating
the "bell boxes" now in use with the
desk phones and substituting a small
telephone box for the large ones now
used in residences.
1t is expected that the cut-over to
she new system will be made on April
Is and after that it will be unneces-
sary for you to crank your phone in
,alling central Removing the rcceiv
ar will register your call. All party
line ringing in the city will be done
away with.
With the change to the new system,
Ladysmith will have as good telephone
service as can be found in any city.
Many annoyances now occasioned as
an inevitable result of the use of worn
out and antiquated equipment will be-
.ome thing of memory. The change
will be a welcome one to hOth opera
tors and patrons.

stop. Anyhow you know your son is
alive and well.
With love,

Mauyilly, France, Dec. Is. 1918
Dear Mother-Well. the war is over

good rest when | get home. | under
stand that my division leaves for the
states sometime next month. That
day will be the happiest moment of my
stay in France.
Since the first of September we have
been hiking all over France. They
say we beat all records for hiking. /

pairs of hob-nail shoes from Sept. / to
Oct. -. We were in the trenches of

bach and few other small towns.
Oct. u we were relieved and came ont
for Il Today training course to prepare
us for a hotter front.
October 26 we left for the ArgOnne
sector. I guess you know or have
read lot about this front. We hit
there about the latter part of October.
The American artillery was pounding
the II out of the Hindenburg line
The Huns were finally dislodged and
started their retreat which finally
spelled disaster for them on Nov. 11th
We were right behind them all the
time until they gave up. On Nov It'll
we had advanced within Is miles of
Sedan Then the armistice was signed
and we marched back to Verdum and
from Verdun here Now you can inn
agine we were tired bunch after COM

ANOTHER CLOVER
SEED WARNING

Wisc0nSin's approximately 100000
cattle. 100000 horses and 275,O0O sheep
are largely dependent for rOughage on
The clover or mixed clover and timothy
hays which are so popular with the
farmers Of the state. In 1917 there
were 2.G4G.931 acres of clover and tim
0thy IN Wisconsin, yielding total OF
4.513.710 tons. When farmers SOW
mixed clover and timothy seed they eX-
Dect a crop of clover hay the next year
and crop of timothy the second year.
yields of the two being approximately
equal. SO it is safe to assume that
some two and Il quarter million tons OF
hav annually are dependent on the
ability of the farmer to procure good
clover seed. The Seed Inspector OF the
State Department of Agriculture has
already warned farmers concerning
the necessity of care in the purchase OF
clover seed The conditions make II
necessary to reiterate the warning.
Al kinds of clover seed are unusually
high priced and it is particularly true
of medium red clover seed which
ranges from so. 90 to $4,000 per bushel
depending upon the quality. The high
prices are due to scarcity of seed be-
cause of severe winter killing of red
clover during the winters of 1916 and
1917. Whatever the cause of the high
prices there will be big temptation
for unscrupulous dealers to mix cheap
er kinds of crop seeds and weed seeds
With the clover seed so it may be sold
at the high .)rices and at big profit
ESDpcial attention should also be given
to the purchase of mixed timothy and
clover seed. Mixtures claimed to be
one-third clover seed and twO-thirds
timothy often fail to contain One-thlr6
clover seed, although being sold al
prices which should certainly require
the mixture to be at least one-thlrt
clover seed These mixtures are ais'
very apt to contain more weed seeo
than either pure clover or pure tlmo
thy because it is harder to detect TN
weed seeds in mixture than 1t IS II
pure seed.
Buy no clover seed or mixed see'
which is not labeled to show eXactl
what OF is. The purity and germinat1o
tests should be given and IL there
any noxious weed seed or more tina
2qo of common weed seeds in 1t
statement to that effect should be 0
