The Unexpected.

An amazing instance Of the unex.
pected happening at the front
ended in a French and a German
pilot landing together. The French
man and the German were circling
and dipping for battle position.
Suddenly. the French pilot, think
ing he had the advantage, charged
his enemy from the But the
German did not swerve sufficiently
and the left wing of the French
machine struck the right-hand
struts of the German. The collision
caused the French airplane to spin
around violently until its tail whizzed
between the wings Of the German
and stuck. Apparently being too busy
or perhaps too astonished-tO shoot
at each other, the opponents spiraled
side by side in a close embrace, ulti-
mately crashing into the bOughs OF

so they clambered out. looking at each

TOMAHAWK WILL ERECT
$4,000 LIBERTY HALL

TOmahawk is going to have a $4,000
Liberty building, which is to be a COM
bined armory. auditorium, gymnasium
and club, and for which the Civic and
Commercial Club of that city is rails
ing the money by popular subscription.
1t is also proposed to house the city
library in the same building. This is
the kind of Il building the News-Budget
has been advocating for Ladysmith and
for which Mayor Thompson recently
appointed a committee to prepare
plans and get preliminaries under way.
This building will not have to provide
room for an armOry as the state will
not encourage combining an armOry
with building for other purposes.
The state will doubtless build an ar
mory here in the near future to accom-
modate the militia company and it is
better for many reasons to have Il sep
arate building for this purpose. The
armory will have large hall, but will
not have an inclined floor, while an
auditorium such as Ladysmith needs
should have an inclined floor with seat
ing capacity for 1000 people or more.

will be secured or Il new one built.
Location Of Il wholesale grocery
house in Ladysmith will materially
benefit not only Ladysmith but the en-

from having a wholesale house so near

commodity prices i'll this vicinity.
With quicker service in filling their

Prominent Dairymen Give Prac.

Association at Annual
. Meeting

In spite of disagreeable roads and
weather, Il goodly number of the pro
gressive farmers of this vicinity at
tended the annual meeting of the Rusk
County Guernsey Breeders Association
held at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms last Saturday.
The meeting was ushered in by Il
gram of speaking and the transaction
of the usual business of the annual ses-
sion.
Dr. r. NJ. Wood of MankatO. Mimi
an importer and breeder of Guernseys
for many years, proved TO he a very
entertaining speaker and gave those in
attendance many valuable pointers and
suggestions to carry home with them.
w. w. Kenyon. of Eau Claire, who was
formerly Il resident of the town Of
Willard, and also superintendent of
the RuSk County poor farm for Il
couple of years. also gave a very val
liable talk, filled with information on
the successful handling of dairy cattle
that could not help be of great benefit
to every dairyman present. Mr.. Ken
yOn is Guernsey enthusiast, operating
a large dairy farm near Eau Claire
and being the owner Of more than one
hundred head of pure-hreds and
grades
S. =. Sexton, treasurer of the Bar
ron County Guernsey Breeders AssO-
ciation, and Charles. Collins. of Exc
land, secretary of the Sawyer county
association were in attendance.
III. w. True was elected president of
the association for the ensuing year
and l.. f. McGill was reelected secre-
tary-treaSurer.
Four other meetings are to be held
in various parts of the county during
the coming spring and summer. Dates
and programs for these meetings, which
are to be held at Bruce, Weyerhaeuser,
Tony and Glen Flora. will be an
nOunced later.
At the next annual meeting the asso-
citation will give n three-yearS' sub
scription to Hoard's Dairyman to the
member who furnishes the best record
of the production of his herd. Secre-
tary McGill offers an additional prize
Of subscription to the Guernsey
Breeders Journal. These prizes will
be awarded for the best records. not
the highest production recorded. What
is wanted, primarily, is to encourage
the keeping of an accurate record
showing just what each COW is produc-
ing. with reference particularly to
weighing and testing the milk.
