TWO SHIFTS FOR
CHAIR FACTORY
One Hundred People Will Soon
Be Employed By This
Industry

Unprecedented demand for the prod
uct of the Ladysmith Chair & Furni-
ture Company has made it necessary
for the company to largely increase
their output. To do this it will be nee
essary to put on two shifts and double
the present force Of employees, which
now numbers about fifty, and this
change will be made in a short time.
AS there is a state law prohibiting
the employment of women in factories
before 6 700 a. m. or after q :O0 p. M,
the hours for women employed in this
factory, after the two-shift system is
established. will be from 6 200 a. m.
until noon for one shift and from noon
until 6 200 p. M. for the other. Two
eight hour shifts for men will be from
6 a. m until , and from p. m. until
TO- 1t is hoped to double the output
of the plant with the two shifts.

WOrld-FamOus Statesman Will
Speak at Gymnasium This
Evening
INFORMAL BANQUET
AT LEGION HALL
Great Democratic Leader Will Speak
Here Under Auspices of Lyceum
Course

William Jennings Bryan, the
famous Democratic leader and
statesman, one of the worlds
greatest orators, the man who
made Wilson president and who
may in all probability be able to
name the democratic nominee
this year if he chooses, is Lady
smiths honored guest today.
: No man in public life today is
more beloved by the people, re-
gardless of party, than the
great commoner." Whether
he could be elected president or
not this year, if he consented to
run, we do not care to hazard a
prediction, but we do believe he
could carry the state of Wiscon-
sin against any man yet talked
of as nominee for either party
and he is the only man that
would give the democratic party
q ghost of a show Of doing that
this year.
Though defeated twice as the
nominee Of his party for presi-
dent of the United States, he
polled more votes both times
than Wilson did when he was
elected.
Ladysmith is indeed fortu-
nate to have one of the nations
most distinguished citizens as
guest, if only for day, and will
do it's best to make his visit to
this city enjoyable, without be-
ing tiresome. He arrived here
from Stevens Point on the morn
ing train. No arrangements have
been made for the forenoon in
order to give opportunity for
rest.
An informal banquet, with
Mr.. Bryan the guest Of honor,
has been arranged to start at
1890 sharp, at the American
Legion hall.
The Chamber of Commerce
has charge of, the entertain
ment of Mr.. Bryan while here.
On h e reception committee
are: L. c.. Streater, w. A.
Blackburn and F. M. Doyle as
executive committee of the c..
of c., j. C. Baker, Hawkins
John Moller, Bruce; W. S. Man
ming; Glenn H. Williams, j. w.
Carow and A. A. Hadden. Mr..
Bryan was colonel of the regi-
ment Mr.. Hadden served in in
the Spanish-American war.
Mr.. Bryan's address will be
in the evening, at the gymna-
SUM, commencing at 8:15 sharp.
In the afternoon he will make
a short address at the highschoOl
and possibly at the training
school.
The subject of Mr.. Bryan's
address this evening will be {:
