LAND CLEARING
MEETINGS NEXT WEEK
Program For Next Tuesday at Cham
ber of Commerce Rooms Should
Interest All Farmers

In 1920 there will be more land
cleared in the past five years. Farmers
need more acreage and present prices
are an inducement to get more acres
under cultivation. Besides this. there
is the great influx of new settlers.
many OF whom are locating on wild
much land as possible next year. There
are in the county approximately 1000
farmers and if on every farm three
new acres are cleared and put under
cultivation, it will mean 5000 more
acres under the plOw. Considering that
there are now only 10000 acres under
the plOw, this will mean an increase of
20 per cent in production. And that
is not what might be done, but what
will he done, for every one is going to
push back the brush line in earnest
Mkt Tuesday afternoon, February
10, Hll farmers who are interested in n
greater, faster and cheaper develop
ment, are asked to come and hear Mr.,
Swenehart, of the Land Clearing De
partment, University of Wisconsin,
Mr., Funston. of the 500 Ry, and Mr..
Householder, Asst, state director of
immigration. Movies showing the de-
velopment of northern Wisconsin. will
feature the meeting. These are SER
les Of meetings to put still greater in
terest in land clearing and have been
held all over the northern half of
Wisconsin in the past six weeks, and
it is reported that the halls were al
ways filled.
If you are an old settler, come out
and see in pictures what has been done.
If you are newcomer, come out and

MILLION DOLLAR
CLEARING CONTEST

AS suggested some time ago by
the News-Budget, Rusk county
will have a big land clearing con-
test this year There are more
than 1000 improved and partial
ly improved farms in the county
now, and new settlers are coming
in by sthe hundreds.
Figuring land cleared for the
plow at 500 per acre more, and
brushed and seeded land at $50
more than wild land, if Rusk
county can clear for the ploW
21a acres, and brush and seed 5
acres on each of 1000 farms, the
increased value of Rusk county
farms will be fully one million
dollars. The business men are
willing to put up liberal cash
prizes, divided so there can be
about thirty winners. RuSk
county has always been one of
the leading counties of northern
Wisconsin and when this contest
is put across it will put the
county in class by itself.
DO your part 70 put ii across.

BEWARE OF THE FLU

The influenza epidemic has reached
Ladysmith, and it behooves every citi-
zen to Ike on guard. a large number OF
cases have developed and caution and
diligent care are necessary if we are
to avoid serious epidemic. This
years epidemic does not appear as

preventive measures should be taken
nevertheless.
Everyone is urged to help in limit
ing the spread of the disease by avoid
ing congregating, SO far as possible,
and by promptly isolating every case
that shows symptoms of influenza.
Don't gather in crowds. don't go into
or stay in a crowd unless Oh very i'm
p0rtant business A faithful Observ-
ance of this caution will avoid the ne
cessity Of a ban on gatherings.

FIRE DAMAGES
MARTIN HOME
Delay in Getting Alarm in Added
Materially to Loss
Sustained

Defective electric wiring is thought
to have been the cause of the fire that
threatened the NJ G.. Martin home with
destruction Tuesday afternoon and did
considerable damage to the house be-
fore it was extinguished. The roof
was destroyed. Most of the furniture
was removed from the house. The loss
was covered by insurance, which was
adjusted Thursday, Michaelson 4
Hughes being the agents.
The loss would have been much less
if the alarm could have been turned in
with less delay. No one seemed TO
know whom to call to give the fire
alarm. This is too serious to be ne
elected and we understand arrange
ments will be made in the near future
to remedy this situation and the peo-
pie will be informed through the To-
cal papers as to what to do in case OF
fire.

In spite of small attendance, over
81 900 was quickly subscribed at the

and large soliciting committee was
appointed covering all the territory
tributary to Ladysmith. Reports re-

indicate that the plan looks good to the
farmers.
This will necessitate increasing the
capital stock of the creamery company
and revision of the bylaws.

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES

The principals of the training
schools of the state held very inn
portant meeting at MenomOnie last
week. Reports showed that i'm practi-
cally every school the attendance is
still decreasing. The same thing is
true in the state normal schools. The
salaries paid to the teachers is very
largely to blame for this. The princi-
pals reported what their respective
county boards had done for their school
this fall. The principal of this school
was glad to be able to report largely
increased appropriation. The state
department of education has compiled
some figures about the cost of training
schools to their counties. Rusk county
paid last year 9.S2c per $1,000 assessed
valuation-the price of IL eggs to
educate it's teachers. This year the
county pays about 15c per $1,000 as
sesSed valuation-the price Of 2lh eggs.
Practically every training school of
the state is getting ready to ask for
dOrmitOries. Conditions in this city
are such that there is very little like
hood for this school to grow materially
unless better housing facilities for the
students are provided. The dormi-
tory has proven that it will solve the
problem satisfactorily The one at
Amigo is self supporting at cost to
students for board and room of less
than $3.50 week.
The Literary Digest for January 81
says Teachers have finally stopped
pleading for more pay and have walk
ed out Last year $4,000 school
teachers abandoned their calling to go
into better paid work.
A conference has been called for
