KAISER WROTE IN NOTE
New Berlin Evidence Shows EN-
peror's Readiness to Fight
q. S. Armies.

BERLIN, July 21.-The readiness of
Emperor William to match his armies
against the combined forces of the allies
and the United States is further proved
by an interesting document which has
just been brought to light by the COM
mittee of investigation on President
Wilson's peace effort during the winter
Of 191S-1917.
Appended to the majority report Of
the subcommittee of the committee,
which places blame for continuation of
the war on the German government. is
a memorial from Admiral Won Holtzern-
dorff. then head of the German naval
general staff, to the kaiser. The memo
rial suggested a refusal to the proposal
by the American ambassador at Vienna
that, to avoid embodiment, American
ships going to England should not be
torpedoed.
In the margin the kaiser personally
wrote:
ct agree. To be declined. An end
must be made once and for all to nego-
tiations with America If Wilson wants
war he can make it and have it,
The report of the subcommittee de-
clares that the submarine campaign.
which was instituted over the objection
of cabinet leaders, brought America into
the conflict and resulted in Germany's
defeat President Wilson's action, the
report says, made peace overtures pos
sibse.

DUCK HUNTING
WILL IMPROVE
Only a Few Hunters Report
Bag Limit.-Colder Weather
Will Bring in Game

Since the duck hunting season
opened, Ladysmith nimrods have been
out in quest of the game to various
lakes in this and Sawyer and Chippewa
counties
While ducks have not been numer-
Gus in these parts, it is expected that
the recent change in the weather to
colder temperature will bring in the
different varieties of wild acQuatic
fowl from the British provinces to the
north and better shooting is expected.
Only comparatively few ducks are
hatched in this locality and they are
mostly wood ducks, which are pro-
tected by law.
The only hunters who have reported
a full bag for a days sport, that we
know of. are George Buechle and w
H. Johnson. They got Is ducks each
in one day. Most of the hunters have
no difficulty in keeping within the bag
limit.
The open season for wild geese and
brant began September 16 and con-
tinues to December 20 with bag
limit of 10 day.
On wild duck, including American
coot and mudhen, but excepting wood
duck. the open season is from Septem-
Der 1G to December 10 and the bag
limit is 10 each day. There is no open
season on wood duck or wOOdcOck. The
open season on plOver, snipe, rail and
rice hens began September 1G, and con
tinues to December 20. The bag limit
is 15 a day.
There is no open season for prairie
chickens this year anywhere in the
state In Portage and all other coun-
ties except Columbia, Crawford, Grant,
Richland and Vernon, rabbit season
,loes mot open until October 10 and
closes on January 16. The bag limit
is five each day.
No grouse or partridge are to be
killed this year and the laws enfOrc-
ing this are very strict.
No vehicle will be allowed to carry
a gun unless it is unlOaded and i'll a
case. or something which represents
case. Any vehicle. motor car or other
conveyance having gun conceared or
even carried by an occupant, is liable
to seizure. If any party fishing il'e-
gaIly in a boat. that boat is liable to
seizure regardless of the owner.

BEE LOSSES HEAVY;
LOCAL APIARISTS HIT

Moore & Moore, local apiarists,
shipped an order for honey to Wiscon-
sin Rapids few days since, amount
ing to $3.50. Most of the product of
their numerous yards, however, goes
to the big honey market of the coun-
try, Chicago. The market now is 25
cents per pound.
This firm lost heavily of their bees
last winter from disease caused by
feeding on late season honey, whereas
the honey usually used for winter feed
is gathered earlier in the season. But
wet weather prevented the bees from
working much in July. Out of 303 col
Onies put into one cellar by this firm
last winter, 100 swarms succumbed to
the malady which afflicted bees gen
orally over the state.
The product of the several yards
owned by Moore & Moore amounts to
several tons annually.

PRODUCE co.
HOLDS GOOD MEETING

About fifty farmers of this COM
munity met Wednesday afternoon at
the warehouse of the Wisconsin Pro
duce Co.. in this city. to hear the plan
of this company explained. Manager
+. III. Morse went into details and eX-
planned the proposition of storing po-
tatoes for the farmers in their ware
house and issuing warehouse receipts.
On these receipts, the Pioneer National
Bank will advance 80 per cent or more
of the market value of the potatoes
when stored. The potatoes are to be
stored during the winter when it is i'm
possible to haul from the home cellar
to the car and thus avoid the fall and
spring rush and strike the high price
winter markets.
This company expects to make
market for. veal and other meats and
produce so that the farmer will real
ize more from his products.
4 wholesale and retail butcher busi-
ness is one of their plans and mar
ket place may be established where the
farmer can bring his produce and the
city man may go to buy.
C. X. EllingsOn said, in part, that
he felt that the proposition was quite
feasible if men were put in charge who
were real experienced men in the line
entered into and that he felt that Mr..
Morse was competent to handle it as
far as he could see. Later he Informed
a News Budget reporter that he had
favorable reports from the First Ma
tional Bank of Stone Lake, relative to
Mr. M0rse's enterprise and reliability,
where he has operated for the last five
or six years.
The success or failure of this enter
prise will depend on the management
and the support given by the farmers.
Shares at So each were offered and
good number were signed up for at
the meeting.
A canvass will be made to give the
other farmers an opportunity to join.

PARAMOUNT ACRES
NEW PLATING
FOrty-Acre Tract of Land at
Southeast Corner of City
Plated

A new acreage plating has been
made Ivy Is. e. French, of the forty
acre. tract he recently purchased out
of the COrbett farm and adjoining the
city at its southeast corner.
He has given the name, Paramount
Acres" to this tract and has had it
surveyed into acre lots and expects to
dispose of it in a short time, basing
his belief on the large number of ap-
plications already received though the
sale has not begun.
Evidently, he intends to treat repub-
licans and democrats alike in dispos-
ing Of the tract, as he has given the
two avenues which extend through the
tract. east and west. the names, Hard
ing-av. and Cox-ay. The land is
bounded on the east by the Ladysmith-
COnrath main highway and on the
south by public highway. To the
north is a tract which Mr.. French had
plated and sold and to the east is the
COrbett farm. Eighteen acres of the
tract are cleared and the work Of
clearing the east part is under way.

RUSK co. MILLION DOL
LAR CLEARING CONTEST

To the bankers, merchants and bus
mess men of the county is due the
credit for the big clearing contest now
going on. These men put up the funds
at the million dollar banquet" last
spring that made the contest possible.
Farmers who joined the contest and
those who did not are clearing more
land this year than ever before and
the advertising value has been a big
item in the benefits derived. Many
outside papers have given space to this
contest and the Cloverland Magazine
printed a story about it in their June
number written by r. G. Jones, the
land man. In an article in that pa
por's September issue, they gave over
page to the story of the development
Of a RuSk county farm, The Big Seven
Live Stock Ranch, and again played up
the contest to good advantage.
The contest has been profitable and
popular and we suggest starting the
ball rolling early for another million
dollar clearing contest for next year.
