REEKEEPING METH
obs WILL BE TAUGHT

The University of w con S n
through the extension division of the
College of Agriculture will conduct an
all day meeting at LadySmith No
Yember 2G.
Special attention will be given to
the question of marketing the honey
crop and the eradication of bee dis
eases. Wisconsin has the most pro-
grpssive foulbrood law. The laws of
no other state seek to control entirely
the movement of bees and used bee
supplies and perhaps no other state
is working the "area-clean-up' meth
cd as extensively as Wisconsin. One
of our most progressive beekeepers
reports that he has lost $4,000 in the
last four years on account of Amer
lean fOulbrOOd. The time has come
when no real b6ekeeper can afford to
remain ignorant concerning this dis
ease.
The Importance of the honey crop
i'm this state can only be realized when
we remember that this years honey
crop is somewhere near million
pounds. Commercial beekeeping is de
veloping to an nheard of extent
Glover seed producers are beginning
to realize that they must have large
number of bees in their communities
to insure pollinatiOn of clover.

Column Four Blocks Long I'M
pressive Sight in "GOOd
School Week"
STUDENTS OF ALL CITY
SCHOOLS ARE IN LINE
Problem of Educating Youth of This
City is StriEingly Demon
strated

Good school week" was enthusi-
astically observed in Ladysmith. If it
was as well observed over the county,
much good will result to the educa-
tional life Of Rusk county.
To enlist the interest and support
of the public in meeting the educational
crises in Wisconsin, the state depart
ment of public instruction planned
what is known as good school week"
from Nov. IA to Nov. 20, with the OBJ
ject of focusing the attention of the
public on education and to develop sen
timent in favor of better schools.
1t has been forced upon the atten-
ton of the thoughtful people of Lady
smith that there are scores of parents
in this city who do not sufficiently
value the opportunities offered for the
education Of the young. 1t is claimed,
and we believe that school statistics
prove, that the great majority of chill
dren drop out of school when they grad
uate from the eighth grade. Children
of school age are working in the mills
and other industries of LadySmith who
should be in school for the future good
of the state and of themselves. In
many cases these children could con-
tinue their schooling if they and their
parents were sufficiently impressed
with the value of education.
Children Parade
With the idea Of bringing home to
the parents and the public the impor-
tance of our schools, the number of
our pupils now in school, and what it
would mean to have them educated, the
county superintendent, city superin-
tendent. supervising, teacher, and the
.arge corps of instructors in the city
schools and the county training school
co-0perated in organizing parade OF
school children on Wednesday after
noon The parade was an impressive
sight to any thoughtful citizen. Four
ahreast, they marched through the
streets, headed by Cho ChO, the health
clown and drum corps, and carry
ing banners and flags. Marshaled in
close military formation and guided by
their teachers they marched through
the principal streets, making column
four blocks long and $50 strong. The
smaller grades were near the head OF
the procession, followed by the higher
grades and the highschool, the training
school completing the long column and
carrying an immense national flag.
Attractive banners carried by the
children carried brief and pointed
phrases which reached the public In
striking way. Better Schools Mean
Better Citizens" was one which covered
much scope.
"We must choose between education
which costs much and ignorance which
costs more. If Wisconsin will take
care of her boys and girls today, her
boys and girls will take care of Wis
conSin tomorrow"

The year 1920 has seen the success

that, as we come to the roll call this
year, it is with a sense of the Red Cross
snew program having proved itself.

were year ago. We are seeing all
about us the concrete, successful re-

This year we have been shown
that the Red Cross organization has
come to stay as an integral part of
