Strong Effort Will Be Made To Win
From NeighbOring City's
Fast Team

What Phillips didn't do to the local
alleged baseball team last Sunday was
not worth mentioning. Whether the
locals had laid off on the practicing be-
cause, having trimmed Rice Lake
again, they thought they didn't need
any more practice for awhile, had an
off day." or are simply Out-classed by
the Phillips aggregation, the News
Budget doesn't pretend to know, but
it is a lamentable fact that the locals
certainly never had "lOOk-in'' from
start to finish.
Phillips has mighty good team this
year and an umpire whose son plays
on the team. This makes a cOmbina-
tiOn that is hard to beat and we recon-
mend the idea to other teams desirous
of anneXing beaucOup scalps to their
belt. Phillips could have easily
trimmed the locals with less than nine
men, but the senth man comes in handy

VANDAL'S WORK
ON MOTOR CAR
Quick RetributiOn For Youth
Who Defaced Beautiful
Automobile

Everett Blanchard and party mo-
tored up to near Big Falls last Sunday
and left the Blanchard car, a new
Nash, at the end of the road while they
walked in the remainder of the way.
On the return of the party to the
car they were much surprised and dis
gusted to find that some vandal, dur
ing their absence, had defaced both
sides, back and hood, with something
hard. probably nail, drawing obscene
designs and marks.
A young man staying near by was
suspected. and the following day Mr..
blanchard, with Sheriff Simon and
two other men, went up there and
accused the young man of doing the
dirty work He finally owned up, say
ing that he did it with a finger nail.
He was given the choice of settling the
damage by paying 5000, which is the
amount that will be necessary to
have the car repainted, or go into court
and take judges sentence, which
might mean a penitentiary term. He
agreed to pay the 5000, in four INSTALL
ments. and his uncle guaranteed the
payments.
The young man did not appear to
realize the enOrmity of his Offense I'M
til the sheriff had enlightened him. He
has lived in lumber camps the most of
his life.

REPORTS ON
LAND CLEARING
Average 3.3 Acres Brushed, 2.7
Acres Stumped and 2 in
Crops Per Farm

Averaging up the monthly reports
of the contestants in Rusk cOunty's
81, 100000 land clearing contest up to
July / gives the following figures:
Three and three-tenthS acres
brushed, 81 acres stumped and acres
broken and in crop per farm.
This means that among the con
testants alone there have been 1923
acres brushed, SIT acres stumped, and
G20 acres broken and in crop this year
But as there are only 80 farmers
out of 1000 in the contest, their prog
ress is a fair index of what has been
done all over the county.
Prof. VIM. Boss, of the University
of Minnesota, and S. B. Cleeland, and
county agent leader, of Minnesota, who
came to Rusk county to study land
clearing and colonization work, re
viewed the progress of the contest and
were highly pleased with the results

Rusk county farmers turned out we'll
Tuesday to hear and see the program
at the state demonstration farm at

The farmers brought their wives and
families and the wives brought their
dinners from their productive farm

their turn to buy bun with Rnsk

The ham ran out in the third inning
but the price remained the same.
The lectures were given by men who
knew their business and were well re

were there to learn. A few years age
there was prejudice among the farm

JOURNAL PASSES TO
NEW OWNERSHIP
Failing Health Forces ID. w. MalOney
To Sell to Hawkins
Parties

r. w. Richardson and o. L. Hotz
both of Hawkins, and e. w. Richard
son, of Glen Flora, comprise the Jour
nal Publishing Co., new corporation
which purchased the Rusk County
Journal from d. w. Maloney Monday
II. w. Richardson is well and favor
ably known to Rusk county people as
publisher of the Hawkins Reporter,
which he has conducted for the past
twelve years. He was also formerly
publisher of the Tony Enterprise. His
son, e. W., has published the Glen
Flora Star for several years past, sus-
pending it's publication during the war
to enter the United States army as a
member of the old Troop X.
The News-Budget sincerely regrets
that illness of Mr.. Maloney compelled
him to dispose of the paper. With all
our differences with Mr.. MalOney's s
policy, we found him ever fair and hon
orable as competitor and the two
papers have always maintained the
most friendly business relations,
despite the rivalries inherent i'm keen
competition.
The new publishers will be some
what handicapped at first, as the deal
came up and was closed very quickly
and the Messrs. Richardson have had
no time to move here or to make any
preparations. Both, however, are COM
petent newspaper men and will give
Ladysmith a good, newsy paper, which
will be found boosting every worthy
enterprise and every move in the di-
rectiOn of a larger and better Lady
smith. In return for this we bespeak
for them, and know they will get, a
full measure of support from the good
people Of Ladysmith and Rusk county.

SETTLE STATE
ROAD MATTER
State Highway Commission and
Rusk County Citizens
Confer

The meeting called by the WiscOn-
changes in state and federal highway
No. 43 leading north and west from
Ladysmith was largely attended at the
court house yesterday afternoon, large
delegations being present from the vii
lage of Bruce and the towns of At
lanta and Flambeau and smaller dele
cations from the towns of ThOrnapple
and Hubbard, and the city of Lady
smith
The people of Bruce were rightly con-
cerned over the proposition to discon7
tinue as state and federal highway,
road No. 40, which is a short stretch
between Bruce and the Chippewa
bridge about eight miles northeast.
This matter was disposed of quickly and
satisfactorily by deciding to keep this
tenn.
The principal matter before the Com
mission was the road between Lady
smith and the Chippewa bridge and
it was decided to maintain as detOur
Of the state and federal highway the
stretch of road now being maintained
as part of road No 43 between
Flunker's cheese factory, on the Gates
road, two and One-half miles north of
Ladysmith, and the Chippewa bridge
until such time as it will be decided
Just where the road will turn west
from a point i'll Sawyer county straight
north of the north end of the Gates
road, to connect with the bridge east
of the village of Exeland No. 43 will
be maintained as it now is north from
the Chippewa bridge on the town line
between ThOrnapple and Hubbard.
The federal highway authorities es-
innate that it will require $4,000 or
more to build the two and one half
miles of new road by the Crane route
to meet federal specifications, which
amount is cOnsiderd entirely too high.
John A. HaZelwOOd, chairman, and
John S. Owen of the state highway
commission, and A. r. Hirst, state
highway engineer were present at the
meeting and stated the views of the
commission Oh the matter.

Stock is New Kind of Film

The wS-Budget is informed by
George Van Der Loop, breeder of
pure-bred hogs east of Ladysmith, that
a man has been canvassing portions of
Rusk county for the purpose of sell
ing stock hogs to farmers. He called
on Peter Hendrix and Martin Arts,
near Tony. They sent him to Mr.. Van
Der Loop, but he did not put in an APP
pearance at Van Der Loops farm.
The latter thinks that the stranger
may be one of those fellows who have
been operating i'm Minnesota, selling
feed-lot hogs for pure-bred stock.
These sharks have been capitalizing the
pure-bred campaign in order to get big
prices for common stock.
Farmers contemplating the purchase
of pure-bred stock of any kind are
warned to be on their guard against
INSCRIPTIONS livestock statesmen. There
are plenty of farmers in Wisconsin
of known character and integrity from
whom good stock may be procured at
fair prices. Look out for itinerant
strangers.
An Illinois man worked the game
and sold thousands of dollars worth
of grade IIolstein cattle over the
