BASE BALL BENEFIT DANCE

All who are interested in promoting
the national sport in Ladysmith, or who
like to trip the light fantastic toe,"
should arrange to attend the big base
ball dance to be given in Cass' hall on
the night of June Is. The JaZZO Five
orchestra will donate both their time
and the use of the hall, which they
lease by the year. The Page-Zimmer-
man orchestra will also play for this
dance and will freely donate their mu-
sic. With such examples of generosity
on the part of the music before us, we
all should do something to help along.
The receipts of the dance are to be used
in purchasing new uniforms for the
LadySmith baseball team.

Mr. Johnson, who farms the Jim Van

To his knowledge he did not touch the

Farmers Are Displaying Enter
prise and Spirit in Big
Contest
RUSK COUNTY USES
MOST DYNAMITE
Land Clearing Schools and Big Gala
Day Plans Are Being
Made

No matter where you go through the
county, evidences of clearing every
where confront you, and the further
you stray from the main travelled road
the more will this fact become i'm
pressed upon your mind. The farmers
of the county are not only entering the
contest, but they are entering into the
spirit of it as well. Everything in the
shape of weapons, from homemade
stump pullers to hunting knives, are
being used and used effectively.
But in your travels over the county
don't be content to motor along the
road and go home thinking that you
have seen all of the clearing that is be-
ing done, for you will have missed see
ing good half Of it. Stop at some
farm that bears the earmarks of clear
ing progress and ask the farmer to
show you all Of his wares. You will
find yourself being led through thick
cts, over creeks and perhaps marsh
10 the back of the forty where the real
surprise awaits you. There you will
find large spot brushed off, Stumped
and in many case plOwed and put in
crop. and in state of levelness that
would put many a baseball diamond to
shame.
Just what few of the contestants
have accomplished thus far may be
seen by a glance at the April and May
reports. Several things to bear III
mind in studying the reports are that
many of these men are new settlers
who have built homes this spring along
with their clearing work. Some have
worked alone and without the aid OF
team. Joe Vasseur, Of the town OF
Washington, even used hunting knife
to do his brushing when a rheumatic
spell prevented him from using brush
scythe. Bear in mind also that some
of the clearing is more difficult than
others.
The following is a partial list OF
April and May reports of contestants:

pound.
