until the summer of 90 when he ac-
cepted the principalship of the Niece

highschoOl. He was elected county
superintendent of schools in 1911, hold

the esteem in which the people Of the
county held him.

whether the weather was good or bad.
In fact, it was in making a trip in the
western part of the county this
spring, when weather conditions were
bad that Mr. Rice was stricken with a
severe cold, which eventually resulted
in his death. He will be greatly missed
in the schools and as a citizen.
OE. Rice was born at Lowell, Dodge
county, Wisconsin, September IS, 1854,
and in 1857 moved with his parents to
WinOna. Mimi. He attended the public
schools until he was eighteen years of
age, finishing with the highschool at st.

Wisconsin, with the degree of 3. S., in
1896. Taught several terms in the un-

served as principal of the graded
schools of Esdaile, Wis, for three
years. This was followed by two
years as principal of the Maiden Rock
school, Pierce county, Wis.
He then moved to South Dakota and
tried farming for two years. Desiring
to return to educational work, he was
elected principal of the free highschOol
Pepin, Wis. His next work was in the
highschOOl at Reads Landing, Mimi,
where he served as principal for two
years. At this time he entered the
WinOna state normal school and COM

was at once elected as principal of the
highschOOl at GAINESVILLE, Mimi, and
served in that capacity for one year.
The following year, having declined
reelection, he accepted the Superin-
tendency of the city schools at Red
wood Falls Mimi, at much better
salary. He remained there one and
One-third years when, on account of
sickness, he was obliged to give up the
position. Recovering from brief i'll
ness, he was rendered the principalship
of the schools at Hayward. Wis. be-
ginning work here in January, 1891,
Immediately succeeding Principal John

SHOULD INSPECT OATS
TO STOP SPREAD OF SMUT

No farmer has moral right to nave
smut i'm his Oat fields or any other
grain fields, for that matter, thinks Il.
A. Moore, agrOnOmist at the Wisconsin
Experiment station. 1t is easy Tor
anyone to detect smut in the oats in
late June and early July, and the
fields should be inspected to determine
whether the infection is there.
The farmer who finds that he has
even a trace of smut in his field should
not rest eontented another year unless
he takes means of preventing its re-
currence. Smut is so easily controlled
by treating the seed that there is no
good reason for permitting it.
If the farmer is not willing to treat
his smut infested seed for next years
crop. he should obtain seed oats from
members of the Wisconsin Experiment
association. who treat their seed every
other year.
1t seems hardly possible, says Mr..
Moore, to question the fairness OF ex-
pecting all farmers to treat smutted
seed In strong wind the smut will
blow several rods, and there is nothing
to prevent infection spreading from
dirty field to that of the farmer who
who has used seed treatment.

manded the admiration and high eS-
TEEN of every one who knew him and
that includes nearly every resident of

Upper Wisconsin Rifiemen VIII wake
Those From Older Part OF state
Look To Their Laurels

Orders have been received from the
adiutant general to the effect that
civilian team from this state VIII oe
sent to the Caldwell ranges IN Ne"
Jersey for the National matches 10 De
held sometime in August. The state
competition will be held at Camp Doug
las. Wisconsin, from July 2oth 10
August 2nd.
Each regiment of the Wisconsin
State Guard will be represented at the
state match by team OF ten men, anu
in addition to this, each rifle cruz not
represented in the guards will have the
privileg ege of sending two men to the
match. providing they have qualified
with score of over so per cent.
While Ladysmith was well repres
sented at the State Guard gallery mat
ches held in Milwaukee in April, TINS
match is even more important and ev-
ery effort is being made to make good
showing and place this city on the map
The match will be shot with the
1903 rifle at Caldwell, but at Camp
Douglas the Krags will probably be
used. The individual companies ana
clubs in the competitive shooting may
use either the Krag or Nagant rifles.
In previous years, the National
match team from Wisconsin has been
recruited for the most part from the
neighborhood of Milwaukee and other
southern cities This year the upper
counties have awakened, and the city
men are likely to meet keen competl-
ton for the honOrs at Camp Douglas.
Perhaps if some of the deer hunters are
sent out to Caldwell, the Wisconsin
team will secure the place it deserves
in the matches.
Although the local club has so far
been handicapped by the lack of proper
range facilities, their interest i'll the
shooting game has always overcome
these hardships. and we may depend on
them to see that Ladysmith gets
share in the hOn0rS.

Ladysmith Gets Most Hits, But
Not When They Were
Most Needed
LOCALS PILE UP ERRORS;
GROUND IN BAD SHAPE
Both Pitchers Hit Freely, But Tony
Bunches Hits and Wins Game
i'm One Inning

The LadySmith baseball team suf-
fered an ignOminiouS defeat Sunday at
the hands of the fast team from Tony.
You have got to hand it to Nick Christ
man, to use an expressive bit of slang.
for developing a very fast aggregation
of ball players for town the size of
Tony. 1t is very evident from their
playing that they are getting consider
able practice and that is always one of
the principal requisites to i fast team.
Tony hit Swanson, the local twirler
freely Sunday, getting thirteen safe
ties but in that respect Ladysmith was
fully up to the visitors, getting four
teen hits from Leonhard. Both teams
had their batting clothes on and
played hard all the way through The
LadySmith team is to be commended
for putting up hard fight to the end,
even if they did pile up a scandalous
bunch of errors
LadySmith seemed to lack the ability
to hit when hits would count most.
Tony made ten runs from thirteen hits,
while the locals with fourteen hits to
their credit, could get but six men
around the circuit OF course Lady
smiths errors figured somewhat in the
visitors run getting, but not as much
as might be expected from their num-
ber. 1t was punching their hits when
hits meant runs, particularly in the
fourth inning, that won the game for
Tony. Leaving scores made as the re-
suit of errors out of consideration,
Tony still has decidedly the best of the
argument with six earned runs to La
dysmith's two.
Ladysmith was fatally weak on
coaching, lack of which cost several
runs, whereas Tony was wide awake in
this particular whenever there were
men on bases.
Ladysmith can never expect to have
a really fast team until the team has a
better diamond to work on. While a
slow diamond plays no favOriteS it is
true that most of the errors made on
both sides in Sundays game was due
to the condition of the grounds.
