1t appears that the Million Dollar
Land Clearing Contest has attracted
more than passing attention and in
tereSt from state and national men of
prominence, judging from the number
who will come here for the big round
up on November 9th. 1t will be big
day in Ladysmith to celebrate the
accomplishment of the greatest land
clearing project ever attempted i'll this
section of the state. 1t is a great prof.
ect because large results were the inl-
tial aim and these have been accom-
plished.
November 9th, will be roundup"
day as far as the 1920 contest is con-
cerned and it promises to be real day.
The big noise will be at II 80 and at
noon all farmers and their families i'll
the county are invited to dinner served
by the business men of LadySmith,
free to all farmers i'll Rusk county, re-
gardless of whether they have cleared
land this year or not. IN the after
noon, stunts and not stumps, will be
pulled Fifty stumps will be blown
with one shot by the use of the electric
machine as one of the stunts Of the
day.
Featuring the afternoon will be
wrestling match between the largest
white pine stump ever captured in the
woods of Upper Wisconsin and stick
of dynamite that weighs 100 pounds.
The odds are at present on the stick
of dynamite, some sportsmen betting
ten to one that dynamite will shatter
his opponent in ten seconds. Match
will be Catch as Catch can.
The business men of Ladysmith GER
tainly plan to do the thing up brown.
Besides the feed, every farmer who is
i'm Ladysmith that day will be given
free ticket to the movies, so there will
be something doing every minute.
If through oversight, any farmer III
usk county does not receive ticket
to the dinner and entertainment he is
invited to attend and can get tickets
IT any newspaper office or bank III the
county. The reason that some may be
overlooked is because of the fact that
that no complete mailing list is avail
able.
The program of the day will be
found in another column.

six years ago, deceased was operated
upon for the removal of a golter ana
her tOnsils. The ailment that nnaliy
resulted in her death started about hve
wears ago with intestinal ulcers. In
August. 1917, she was very low ana
was taken to Rochester, where she was
operated on. Very little hope was eX-
pressed then for her recovery, but the
Young woman made brave light 1or
life and never gave up hope until the
end.

PEACE TIME PROGRAM
OF THE RED CROSS

A great many people are asking
What is the Peace Time Program of
the Red Crosse And the answer is
brief The purpose of the Red Cross
during peace is fourfold.
First-To finish up the war job.
This chapter is filing claims daily for
compensation, back travel pay, unpaid
bonuses, lost baggage, medical SER
vice. and so on. And only last week
several boys enlisted in the navy, so
there are always new claims. There
are upwards Of 100000 men still in
the U. S. army and nearly $4,000 men
i'm Great Lakes-and still recruiting
goes On-and the Red Cross has been
asked by the National government to
stay on the job and see the claims
through.
Second-To be prepared to go to
work instantly should disaster occur
to have our officers and secretary and
treasury always ready. And living in
forest fire belt, and remembering
Cloquet we need no urging. And we
must not forget the great call for help
from all Europe in this connection.
Third-Health work essentially be-
longs to the Red Cross program. Flor
ence Nightingale is famous not only
for her hospital work. but for the
health knowledge she spread and
taught for many years. And so the
Red Cross secretary and the Junior
Red Cross are teaching health habits
not cures or diagnoses, but preven-
tions and cautiOns-remember, only
the physician with the nurses help can
heal. but the Red Cross helps prevent
and advise.
Fourth-And probably Of most in
tcrest to you all, just now. the Red
Cross will help provide the community
with what it most wants and needs.
What are those needs in Ladysmlth?
\ combined rest room and health CEN
ter. swimming tank, classes in gym
nastics and physical education, play
grounds with equipment and instruct
ors. classes in home nursing, or first
aid. or citizenship? What do you
want? Tell the local officers or the
secretary and let us all join together
and help it. It's your Red Cross, dI-
rect it's service to fill your needs.
And so too in Ingram, Weyer-
haeuser. Sheldon, Conrath, EXeland.
Apollonia. and the rural neighbor-
hoods. You have no local newspaper
to ask you directly but the above ques-
tiOns and suggestions are for you.
Help the officers and secretary by ad-
vising us as do what you want.
MARIE DRESDEN,
Executive Secretary Of
Red Cross Rusk Co.
