BOND COUNTY FOR
BONUS PAYMENT
County Board in Special Session
Decides That Will Be ''The
Easiest Way"

The county board met in special
session Wednesday and voted, 26 to 3,
to bond the county for the amount nee
essary to meet the payment of the sol
diers' bonus tax.
Those opposed to bonding the county,
prefarring the levying of direct tax,
were: J. r. Hamilton, Tony; w. E.
Harvey. Hawkins; and II. s. Herman.
South Forks.
1t was felt that bonding the county
would take care of the cost with the
least Inconvenience. as the increasing
valuation would more than take care
Of the interest. AS the county grows
older and more productive the pay
ments will come easier.
During the past five years Rusk
county has shown an increase of 100
per cent in valuation. In 1913, the to-
tai valuation Of the county was SIS. 49,
213, while in 1919 it was $17,05S, OBS.
1t will doubtless double again in the
next five years.

That Z. H. Rote did not take a bad
fall, with serious and possibly fatal
injuries. while working on scaffolding
on the new barn that Joe Prochaska is
erecting on his farm northwest of this
city, one day last week, is due to the
strength and presence of mind of the
latter.
Mr. Rote was about to hand a board
to Mr.. Prochaska when a gust OF wind
caught the board and caused Mr.. Rote
to lose his balance. AS he started to,
fall. Joe made quick grab. caught the
falling man by the collar of his macki-
nav with his right hand while he held
onto the barn with his left. Mr.. Pro-
chaska held Mr.. Rote suspended until
help from below rescued him.

Re- Organization of Local Ma
ti0nal Guard Unit Well
Under Way
ERECTION, OF ARMORY
NEXT REQUIREMENT
State Will Stand Half of Cost Up To
$40,000.-PIan Civic-Center
Building

Col John Turner, of Madison, adj
ministered the soldiers oath to the
young men assembled at the gymnasium
last evening to re-Organize Troop X, of
the Wisconsin National Guard, in ac-
cordance with the new federal regula-
tions. About fifty young men have al
ready signified their desire to join the
troop, although all of these were not
present at the meeting last evening
AS soon as a sufficient number is
signed up and mustered in, the govern
ment will forward the necessary para
here as soon as quarters are provided
for them
Capt. A. III. Galloway will be at the
training school every day and at the
Army 4 Navy club Wednesday and Sat
urday evenings to receive enlistments
in the cavalry troop.
The organization Of a national guard
company here will necessitate the erec-
ton of an armOry. 1t is probable that
a building will be decided upon that
will combine an armory and an audi
torium for various public gatherings,
and possibly planned so that part of the
building can be used for city hall.
The state will stand fifty per cent of the
cost of an arm0ry with a limit of $780,
600 to each city; in other words, if La
dysmith erected a $4,000 building the
state would stand $4,000 of the cost.

PEAS, SEASONS OUTPUT

Sixty carloads of peas were canned
by the Ladysmith canning factory this
year in what was the most successful
season of its history. The output
amounts to 100000 cans, which would

acres of land and the crop brought
nearly $4,000, of which $1S,S27.20
went to farmers around Ladysmith and
S10,350.15 to farmers around Tony.
Employment was given to about
three hundred people during the can
ming season of eight weeks and quite a
force will be kept busy all fall in ship
ping out the seasons pack.
The prospect for next season is very
good. A greatly increased acreage is
already assured.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES
BY Prof. Lewis

On Friday, October TO- the public
schools were visited by Dr. Gudez. of
the State Board of Health. In a gen
eral way he expressed himself as sat
istied with the sanitary conditions. He
asked that he might meet all the teach
ers of the city with the hope that he
might present to them certain rules to
govern their actions in, the case of sick
children. 1t was, he said with the hope
that future epidemics of illness might
be checked and. especially, the infiu-
enza. He reminded the teachers that
they were required by law to dismiss
from school any child suffering with
severe cold. fever, OF who was OBJ
viously sick, and any child infested
with vernin or lacking in personal
cleanliness, that where such children
were sent home. the local health officer
was to be so informed. and that before
the child could be re-admitted to school
it would be necessary to present to the
teacher a written permi from the at
tending physician, stating that the
child could re-enter with safety. 1t is
the intention of the school authorities
to rigidiy enforce this law and it is
hoped that parents will cooperate in
the fullest enforcement of the same.
