ATTEND YOUR
DIST. MEETING
School Affairs Should Have Your
Attention Next Tuesday
Afternoon

The annual school meeting of the
Ladysmith- Flambeau joint district will
be held in the gymnasium next Tuesday
evening.
The patrons and taxpayers of the
district should make it a point to be
present at this meeting. They are your
school buildings and your school equip
ment and your children and your mon
ey that will be considered at this meet
ing. Do not leave this important mat
ter to a dozen or so of citizens to at
tend to for you, but have a voice in
the matter yourself this year. The of
ficers of the board of education would
rather give an account of their steward
ship to a full house than to handful
of people.
You have invested in the neighbor-
hood of 100000, and you should show
some interest in how this large sum
is managed and used More than $32,-
900 are appropriated every year for
school purposes out of the Taxpayers
money to run our schools. Do you
know how this money is used-what it
is expended for? People are prone to
protest their taxes at tax-paying time
but usually show but little interest when
the appropriations of their money are
made If you will not have a voice in
these appropriations, will not attend
the meetings when the appropriations
are made, what license have you to
protest the high taxes?
The election of a school clerk will
| take place at the gymnasium during
Tuesday afternoon and the ballot box
| will be open to receive your ballots be-
tween the hours of 3 and s o'clock.
| 1t is the privilege and the duty Of all
school electors of this district to cast
| their votes at this election for your
choice Of school district clerk. You
should exercise that privilege, and per-
| form that duty. Don't leave it for the
others to do Women are as much in
| tereSted as the men i'm this matter and
they should show that they are equally
interested in our school affairs. So
lay aside your personal business or
pleasures, as the case may be, for an
| hour or two next Tuesday afternoon
and evening and vote and voice your
sentiments.

VALUE OF A GOOD HOSPITAL

Just to illustrate the value to this
and nearby communities, of a local hos
pital, the number of cases treated at
st. Mary's during the month of June is
given as an example, if one is needed.
Seventy five patients were operated
upon for removal of tonsils and aden=
Oids, and there were tWenty-three other
surgical operations, including cases of
goitre, appendicitis. gall stones and
fractures. There were eleven medical
cases, three obstetrical cases, and
20 X-ray examinations.
If the patients in the above cases had
had to go to distant hospital for their
operations, treatments or examinations
the expense to them would have been
much greater as would the expense of
relatives or friends, who accompanied
them. In other ways, also, the hospital
is benefit to the county and nearby
counties.

fort to write a new cloture provi

ed as insuring that when the treaty
comes up unlimited debate Will be
in order. 1t IS hoped on both sides,
however, TO hasten consideration as
much as possible and 10 come to a
final ratification roll call promptly.
Some senators think it can be reach
ed within 10 days.
Negotiations for agreement on
some of the reservations to be con-
sidered continued during the day and
in some quarters it was predicted
that the points of disagreement
quickly would be sifted down to a
few propositions once the treaty
comes into the open senate. From
other sources it was predicted, how
ever, that the republican leaders
would insist on their original reser
vations without the notifications
