LOCALS DEFEAT
RICELAKE, 5-4
Fans Who Braved Rain Sunday
Rewarded by Seeing
Good Game.

Played in steady drizzle and with
only about a hundred of the gamest of
the fans in attendance, last Sunday S
game between Ladysmith and Rice
Lake was, in spite of the weather's
handicap, very interesting contest.
Both teams fought hard to win. For
three innings neither side scored and
then the locals got to hitting the ball
and when the fog-nOt the dust-died
away, they had two runs to the good.
Two more markers were chalked up by
the locals in the sixth session and it be-
gan to look like a shut-Out for Rice
Lake
In the seventh, however, Rice Lake
got run across, by means of a hit and
an error or two. In the eighth, the
combination of a hit, an error and the
only free pass to first issued by Lowry
during the game. gave the visitors three
runs and left the locals with only one
run to the good. The visiting score
keeper got into the breach at that op-
perfume time and claimed another run,
which would have tied the score, bas-
ing the claim on a man who had crossed
the plate as the third man was being
put out at first. The visitors did not
press their claim when they saw they
could not ''get away with it"

BADGER WOMEN MAY LEARN
HOW TO VOTE BY MAIL

Realizing that government and po-
litical affairs are coming to play more
and more important part in the life of
the average citizen and that women III
particular are preparing for suffrage, a
course on the laws. practices, and
methods of voting and the conduct of
elections has just been established by
the University of Wisconsin Extension
division. This course has been pre-
pared for the average voter and aims
to set forth just those things which he
should know in order to vote intelli-
gently and to understand and take part
in the conduct of elections.
Because of the intimate connection
between home and community life, it
aims to direct the attention of the
housewife to the public aspects of her
duties which have to do with the en-
vironment of the home, with educa-
tion and recreation, censorship of mo-
ton pictures, inspection of dance
halls, schools nurses, and other com
munity problems.
The six assignments of the course
deal with the qualifications of electors
the various kinds of elections and the
officers that are elected at them; the
rules concerning registration the diff
ferent methods of nomination; just
what steps are taken in the process of
voting; how the ballots are prepared
marked, and counted what activities
of political parties are and other sub
jects connected with the exercise of the
political franchise.

literature of the old masters as well
as the virtuosi of modern composers.
Miss Bernice Arthur is another
artist of the sextette whose work
stands out prominently. She is the
pianist Of the company but she also
features with the accordion. In addi-
tion, with her brother, Edward Arthur,
who has been a drummer with the
Kryl band for a number of years, she
appears in marimbaphone duet.
While the ensemble work of the sex
tette is always delightful part of the
program the work of the artists in
solos, duets, trios and quartettes Is
equally notable.
The program is carefully selected
and consists of popular and classic
music in enjoyable proportions.

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES
BY Prof. B. Mack Dresden

The schools of the county had a very
fine exhibit at the county fair. The
premium list is issued so late each year
that only very few schools are able tC
get exhibits ready. Especially fine eX
hibits came from Rusk No. 4, Grant No
5, and Willard No. 1. The premium
list for school exhibits is badly in need
of revision, and some arrangements
should be made whereby the list could
reach the teachers not later than
| Christmas This would give schools
| time to prepare work for the fair.
| The schoolhouse is open every Satur-
day for the use of teachers. Many are
| in the habit of coming in whenever they
are in town. Perhaps they want some
help or some advice perhaps they simp-
ly want to say Hello" Whatever your
purpose, you are welcome. We would
like every teacher in the county to feel
that the Training School building is her
headquarters while she is in the city.
Teachers who have many small child
rem in their schools should send to the
Bureau of Education, Washington. d.

The children of the Model School
have begun the reading required for the
State Pupils Reading Circle. Every
school in the county should do the read

begin right away. Do not wait till near
the end of the year Much of the bene-

it is put off too late.
