MEN WANTED TO
JOIN NATIONAL GUARD

The proposed Ladysmith unit of
National Guard is still open to appli-
cants. The training is splendid thing
for young men as well as being a mat
ter of patriotic service.
Present payment of the Guard is
$40 per year, but there is bill in Con-
gress providing for doubling this to
$50 per year. The state also pays for
time spent at encampment
All who were in the service are en-
titled to enlist for one year only if they
so desire, and they will hold the rank
they held in the service, with oppor-
tumity of promotion.
As it seems to be difficult to get
enough members for a battery of artil-
lery. it is possible that troop of cav
airy may be organized instead, but this
has not been determined.

rather lost without his farm, and really
regrets that he must part with the
herd-which will go at the auction

BEEKEEPERS MEETING
AN INTERESTING AFFAIR

The Beekeepers' meeting in the

proved a very interesting and instruc

honey was not established owing to the
fact that all beekeepers agree that they
have much less honey than usual to
sell, owing to partial failure of the
clover crop and as they are receiving
such high offers for wholesale lots CO.
operative selling at present seemed un-
necessary.

hit and scored on errors That was all
the run getting for Rice Lake. Soren-
son, former Cornell pitcher, who did the
hurling for the Rice LakerS. pitched a

pitcher, had the better of the argument

In one Of the liveliest games Of base
ball played here this season, the Lady
smith team defeated the Phillips boys
on Monday afternoon at Athletic park

lost, they put up an almost crrOrless
game, but were not there at the bat
when hits meant runs. LadySmith
got a total of hits, one Of which was
a threebagger by McElliott in the
eighth. which brought in two scores
and he later crossed the plate on a sac
rifice hit by Kennison. Ladysmith had
three errors against them, but none
were costly.
For Phillips, Armstrong was in the
box for eight innings, Mamachek going
in the final inning. For Ladysmith
Lowry pitched the entire game.

The vote in the older counties in the

The vote in the state indicates that
sentiment for the bonus was stronger

and that places where opposition to
the bonus was pronounced were not
conspicuous for strong backing in

LEVINE PLAN WON'T WORK.
Chicago Eanll Explains Impossibility
of Altering Currency System.

Chicago. April 24.4The present
currency system is an integral part of
civilization and cannot be eliminated
without hating progress in all lines
of endeavor," said James b. Forgan,
ST.. president of the First National
bank of Chicago, in an interview with
the United Press today.
Destruction of the existing medium
of exchange, reported advocated by
Premier Lenine of the Russian Boil
sheviki government. would not elimi-
nate capitalism. said Forgan.
.'Lenine is reported to believe that
doing away with money as a medium
of exchange will do away with wealth.
But enterprise always will be reward
ed, whether in money or some other
medium of wealth. Forgan said. stop
the circulation of money and you will
stop progress.
Money and credits are one. Elimi-
nate money and you eliminate credit.
When you have no credit, business on
large scale is impossible,
