PROFITS FROM CLEARING
AT HIGHEST POINT NOW

Interest in land clearing in upper
Wisconsin >iS showing marked deyel-
opment The reason for the activity,
according 10 Holm SWenehart. state
land clearing leader, is that farmers
in the northern counties have discOv-
cred that land clearing pays better now
than it ever did before.
Five years ago" says Nh Swene-
hart. lin 1910-1914 it took man 9.1S
pounds of dynamite. even though he
bought il at very nearly the wholesale
price. In 1919 buying dynamite at
carload lots plus 10 per cent. il re-
Quired 4.27 days of labor. The de
crease is partly due to the use of low
grade dynamite hut it is also largely
Eccause of the increased value of crops.
Whether in labor. in hay. wood po-
tatoeS. butterfat. or any other product
the farmer has for sale. explosive is
much cheaper today. Take potatoes
alone: Il 50-buShel load of potatoes
sells at S1.00 a EuShel. Il total of $50
With dynamite at rs cents pound. the
load of potatoes will buy 312.5 pounds
Of explosive In 1910. that load of po-
tatOeS would have been worth S23. and
dynamite worth 141a cents pound SO
that the load would buy only 1856
pounds Of explosive.
The same comparison is true of hut
terfat. y hundred pounds of cream
testing b per cent at 60 cents will buy
120 pounds of dynamite at tiie present
price. When bufterfat was worth sc
cents 100 pounds of cream bought only
&C pounds of dynamite. although the
explosive was somewhat cheaper, than
il is now"

SCHOOL NEWS
BY County Supt. Il. III. Burns

Several persons have inquired at
this office concerning the rights of a
parent TO receive pay for transporting
his own children to school. The law
provides that for those families who
live more than two miles from the
schOOlhOuse the parent or guardian
may transport his own children and re-
ceive for such transportatin not less
than 20 cents per day for each child
transported. providing the child while
being 50 transported attends school for
not less than five months, this means
one hundred days. The statute re-
quireS that the transportation must be
the children walk occasionally during
the period of transportation the days
that the children walk cannot be count
ed as of the one hundred days Of trans
pOrtation. For any days that the chill
dren walk. the parent cannot receive
compensation. The statute holds
strictly the rule that transportation
means something else than going on
foot. The parent is not TO draw epay
for transportation until the period of
five months has elapsed. The district
is not entitled to pay him from the dis
trict treasury until the end of the five
months. The practice of paying the
parent for transporting his own chill
dren at the. end of each month is un-
lawful
The Milwaukee Journal proposes to
send eleven Wisconsin school teachers
to European battlefeldS. These teach
ers are to be chosen by popular vote.
Any adult resident of this county. may
nominate a person to be voted for at the
primaries as candidate for this Euro
pean travel. The committee in this
county who will receive votes consists
of the County Supt.. Mr.. O. G. Deer
wester. Bruce. Route No. ,. and Miss
Virginia Tate. Conrath. All nOmina-
tions must be in by the 31st day of Jan
uary This is Il real opportunity for
someone to see the European battle
fields. There appears to be no unusual
conditions placed upon the candidates.
The Milwaukee Journal proposes TO
bear the expense of the trip through
Europe Rusk county people should
show interest in the matter and en-
deavor to have one of the Rusk county
teachers make this trip.

City Health Officer G. e. Bughel
makes the following interesting report
on vital statistics for Ladysmith fol-
the year 1919:
Deaths
Number of deaths in the city-5S
Males-:,:}: females-25.
The oldest female was seventy-nine
years and fifteen days. The oldest male
was eighty-six years. eleven months and
twenty-five days. Children under

males. Under two years of age, three

males and 4G males. The youngest

The greatest number of children in
any one family were twelve. There is
no name predominating among the
males. but among the females the name
of Lorraine leads, with the name of
Bernice a second. The name "Lor-
raine" predominating may be due to
our efficient and Obliging deputy Ii
cense clerk. OF this number thirty-nine
were born in our hospital, not alone
from the city. but from many points
in the county and outside Of the c0un-
ty. People generally are appreciating
our hospital for his line of work
where they can get prompt attention
and are prepared for any emergency
that may occur. / hope that in the
near future there can be an annex to
our hospital devoted entirely to this
branch Of hospital service.
Marriages
Number of marriages in the city
IS. The youngest bride was seven
teen: Youngest groom twenty. The
ages of seventeen and eighteen appear
to predominant. There were six mar
riages at seventeen and eight at

age between bride and groom is seven
teen and thirty-three.
The oldest couple is--bride fifty
two. and groom fifty-siX. One bride
was married once and one groom twice
before. June still maintains itself as
the month of marriages Nine occurred
in that month.
Epidemics
There have been no epidemics in the
city. There has. however. been some
scarlet fever and typhoid;
mostly all of mild nature.
Faithfully yours.

He'd get his car across the track before

He'd miss the engine by an inch and
make the train hands sore.

SAMPLES ACTION.

In the past few years Seattle has been called upon to give expression to his good judgment. There have been big radical uprisings attempted there but in every instance sound sense has ruled and law and order been upheld. It has required not only the backbone of the authorities but the support of the community in general to accomplish it. In view of such efforts as have been made the radicals cannot fail to be impressed by the fact that they have staged and supported a losing fight
 Ole Hanson, as mayor of Seattle, and as it proved the very man for Che job at that time, has jumped in to fame as the result of the way in which he handled the general strike that was called in that city by the radical element. He demonstrated that there was plenty of determina- tion, authority and ability for sup pressing all efforts directed against American government. The hotbed of the I. w. WIS underwent whole some purifcation.
 For that reason there could not fail to be much interest in the outcome of the mayoralty contest in that city with the contest between a soldier, Major Caldwell of the American Ex- peditionary Force and a radical labor leader named Duncan. How the poli- cies represented by the respective candidates appealed to the people is well disclosed by the vote, Major | Caldwell winning by the unprecedent- ed majority of 17,OO0. This cannot fail to be regarded as the sentiment of the people regarding the trouble making labor clement, which disre- gards law, order and country. Seattl,
 has seen not only the wisdom but tn,
 necessity of effectively suppressins
 such a menace and in the attitud,
 that has been taken there it vii
 have again the enthusiastic sanction of the country.
