LIGHTNING RODS

Lightning uncontrolled is freakish
cuts up antics, yet it is no freak of ma
ture, and it's general record is quite
consistent
The positive electricity of the clouds
and the negative electricity of the
earth, attract each other An euuaI-
lzlng current passes between the two.
Because resisted in it's course this cur-
rent causes lightning and fires. The
problem then is to offer ready medium
OF transit for this current. The mater
ialS of which farm buildings are con-
structed are poor conductors, so q bet
ter medium of transit or conductor
must be provided for these buildings
Pure copper cable, weighing not less
than ounces per foot, or galvanized
iron, weighing not less than Az ounces
per foot, are such conductors.
The rods. unless more than two
ground rods are required, should ex-
tend along diagonally opposite corners
OF the building and along the ridge of
the roof but not in close proximity to
interior piping.
All exterior metal work on the build
ing such as roofs cutters, down spouts.
hay carriers, door tracks should he
carefully connected with the lightning
rod system.
Points of the same material as the
rods should be placed twenty feet
apart. All chimneys, cupolas, dormers,
ventilators, silos and other elevations
should have separate points.
TO be effective the grounding must
be to permanent moisture, not less
than s TO 10 feet deep. Grounding to
underground waterpipes is good. In
shallow soil, copper or steel ground
plates, put down as far as possible, are
helpful. The most prevalent defect Of
lightning rod systems is insufficient
grounding.
TO protect stock, wire fences should
be grounded every twenty rods.
For detailed information, write to
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture for Farmers Bulletin No $40"
ana to the Underwriters Laboratories
If Chicago for their pamphlet "Sugges-
tionS for Protection against Light
ming"
During 1913, in this state, lightning
on 233 unrOdded buildings caused loss
of S442. .765, and on buildings poorly
rodded a loss Of $15,300.
This record again emphasizes the
efficacy of good lightning rod system
properly Installed and kept i'm repair.
lightning rods are the farmers best
protection against fire.

GYPSIES TRAVEL
in AUTOS NOW
Large Band of Travelling
NOmads Pass Through
Ladysmith in Seven
Cars

An up-to-date gypsy band, if there is
such a thing. struck Ladysmith
Wednesday and enlivened the scenery
until ordered out of the city by the
Chief of Police, who did not appre-
ciate their company. In stating that
they were up-tO-date we referred mere
ly to the fact that they travelled by
automobile, for otherwise their methods
were the same as of old only possibly
more so.
Several alleged thefts by the gyp-
sizes of small amounts of money were
reported to Chief Lozier. One man,
who was foolish enough to pay one of
the women dollar for telling his for
tune reported to the chief that the
dusky damsel had relieved him of an
other five dollars by picking his pocket.
The band was rather large, travelling
in seven automobiles when all were to-
gether, two of the machines being large
trucks, carrying large amount of bed
ding, tentage and other paraphrenalia,
in addition to very numerous human
cargo OF the latter. the men were de-
cidedly in the minority, as compared
with the women, the proportion of the
fair sex running about four to one.
There was, however no evidence of
race suicide, in fact, one of the trucks
carried so many children that it
looked like a school bus.
The outfit was travelling west.
Another, but smaller, gypsy band
went through last week. This bunch,
a horse-trading outfit, also had a couple
of automobiles. They camped near the
cemetery for day or two.

ANOTHER SCALP
FOR LADYSMITH
Tomahawk Defeated By Locals
in Game Featured By
Heavy Hitting and
Errors

In a game replete with ragged play
ing and heavy hitting, Ladysmith de-
feated Tomahawk on the home dia-
mond Sunday, to G..
At the start it looked like a walk
away for the visitors for Ladysmith
got into the error column with the first
man up to bat. Three runs, two hits,
two errors, was the summarized story
of the first half inning, while the To-
Gals in their half went out in One-tWO-
three order. One of the creditable
things that can be said of this years
that they do not seem to get SOre" or
give up when some of their teammates
pull off some costly errors, but rather
fight all the harder. This was no
ticeable and pleasing feature of Sun
days game. Ladysmith came from
behind twice, tying the score first in
the second and later, when the visitors
had amassed another three-run lead, in
the fifth. During the last half of the
game, Ladysmith Out-classed the visit
OrS
Both teams seemed to have their
batting clothes on and there were
numerous long drives. Swanson made
the crowd howl with glee when he
poled out beautiful ree-bagger in
the second inning, with two men out
and the bases full. The three runs
thus brought in tied the score. Both
Backus and Hamblin, for Ladysmith,
batted out two-baggers, While Davis
and Higgins, for the visitors, got two
base hits. Tomahawk got to Swanson
for nine safe hits, but Ladysmith
found Davis for ten.
The locals have the discredit of pill
ing mp the most errors, making six
while their opponents made five. Short
stop Berg, one of the best players, usu
ally, on the Ladysmith team, was the
chief offender, making half of the
errors. Berg had just returned from
the strenuous firemen's tournament at
OconOmowOc, where he did his full
part in winning a lot of laurels for
and it is not to be won
dered at that he did not play up to his
usual standard.
