IF Mike was matched with Tommy
Robson, the Arena would not hold the

would show better than in a shorter

No reason was given. The Jockey

This is not the first time that Lof-

was withheld for more than month
last year and he went before the stew

he received his papers. Then, near

1t is becoming quite a common oc-

Friday a large bi-plane landed on
the Thomas farm at the northeast edge
Of the city. 1t contained pilot who
said he had had overseas experience,
and mechanician. They landed here

were interviewed but no information,
not even their names, could be OBJ
tanned. All they would say was that
they were doing some advertising.
Monday at noon a large bi-plane
passed over the city at height of about
one thousand feet, going northwest. 1t
is supposed that it was headed for Su-
perior or Duluth. but no information
was dropped by the occupants.
Newspapers reported Wednesday that
planes are landing in the vicinity of
Chicago with cargoes of liquor from
Canada, and are met by trucks which
convey the illicit goods into the city

it in North Dakota.

Rice Lake Evens Things Up In

Exeland Will Play Here Sunday and

Monday

The Rice Lake base ball team treated
the Ladysmith boys just the same on
the local grounds, Sunday, as they did
at Rice Lake, August 15-they shut
our boys out, to O.
Though the weather was threaten
ing rain, a gOOd-siZed crowd gathered
to see the game, including fifteen auto
loads from Rice Lake.
Ladysmith had Strickler, new pit
cher, III the box to start the game. He
did not measure up to expectations and
was replaced by Garvish, who has been
doing the mound work for the local
team recently, after five innings.
Garvish put stop to the score MAX
ing. While StoeffePS offerings on the
part of the visitors proved hard to
solve, he did not strike out as many
men as in the Rice Lake game though
he famed 13. 1t was a good game if
Ladysmith did lose, and the crowd en-
joyed it,
The series now stands 3 to and the
tie will be played off, probably fair
time.

WOMEN URGED
TO USE VOTE
Will Show Their Appreciation
of Privilege BY Attending
Primary

For more than fifty years women
have fought for equal rights of suff-
rage with men. AT last it has been
granted them. The 10Th amendment
has been ratified by thirty-siX states.
Tuesday, September Z, is primary cleo
tion day in Wisconsin. Women have
the same right to vote at this election
as have the men.
1t is the duty, as well as the privi-
lege, of every woman who has the
necessary qualifications, to go to the
polls Tuesday and vote. The world
was never i'm greater need of good citi-
zens than right now. Women are now
full-fledged citizens. One Of the marks
of a good citizen is that he votes at
every election 1t is confidently eX-
pected that the women of this county
will prove good citizens. They will
show this by a very large vote at the
primary election.
Men have granted to women equal
suffrage. 1t is up to the women to
show by their votes that the confidence
has not been misplaced. Every woman
who has the right to do so, should
vote early on Tuesday.

MANY FATALITIES
FROM WHOOPING COUGH

Or. V. 4. Gudex, of Madison. deputy

creased in prevalence to such an ex-

and declared that the percentage of
fatalitiee resulting from the disease for
the past year has been about the same
as for scarlet fever. To many, who
have been inclined to think whooping
cough hardly worth taking precautions
against this statement will come as a
surprise and should lead to the exer-
else of more caution in guarding against
the spread of the disease.
