"Giants" Defeat Locals

A good-sized crowd saw the much
heralded Illinois Giants, the colored
baseball team which has been touring
Northern Wisconsin, add another
scalp to their large collection at the
fair grounds in this city Wednesday
afternoon.
1t was evident that the local boys
lacked the experience and team work
possessed by the oofored profession
ais and for this reason fell an easy
victim How much of their stuff
they showed in this game could only
be guessed at, but their better work
with the willow stick was what won
for them here. Their base running
was Of a faster quality than that OF
the locals. but in fielding and pitch
ing nothing phenomenal was seen, and
in this work they had little or nothing
on Ladysmith. They performed very

ing box on the vehicle, he stopped the
rig and investigated. He found that it
contained half gross of quart bot
ties, and wanted to know what they

One Hundred Patrons Sign
Petition That Has Been
Sent To Depart
ment
DIFFERENCES ARISE
AS TO ROUTE LOCATION
Patrons South of Ladysmith On Con-
rath Route Are DESTROYS of
Being Transferred

In the neighborhood of one hundred
patrons signed the petition recently
sent to Washington for a new rural
mail route running south out of La
dysmith.
The route as first outlined would
leave this city over the bridge near
the canning factory, going south ana
west to the Gates road, to the e.
Phetteplace corner, thence west and
south to ThOrnapple dam, crossing the
Flambeau river there The route then
was on the west side of the river to
Port Arthur, thence back across the
river east to the Sam Johnson school
and north to Ladysmith, coming in
over the bridge near the Flambeau
mill. This would make some changes
necessary in both routes l and 2 out
Of Ladysmith.
There are quite number of pa
irons living on highway 43, the Gates
road and south of the Sam Johnson
corner who are now on the Conrath
route. and who want to be transferred
to route out of ,Ladysmith Lady
smith is their trading place and nat
ural pOstOffice and being on a route
from this city would make their mail
service much quicker, on account of
the better train service.
These people want the new route to
60 down highway 43 to the 9-mile cor
ner, thence west and north through
the Summerville neighborhood, east to-
the Sam Johnson corner, thence east
and north to Ladysmith. These people
asking for the route as last described
point out that the people living near
the Thornapple dam now have rural
delivery, from Bruce, while the Port
Arthur locality is served by Route 2
out of Ladysmith.
The postofflce department will
doubtless send an inspector here soon
to go over the situation thoroughly,
and the final decision as to the route
will likely be made when his report
is sent in.
Ladysmith now has three routes,
counting the "Star route" to Crane,
and the three are now very made
quate for the needs of our tributary
country,

Long Vacation Trips Giuen Up
For Lake Shore Recreation

Art Winnige found out just this
summer how to spend summer vaca-
tiOn
In summers gone, he would get into
his car with his family and take a
long trip somewhere. Such trips av-
eraged him in actual money outlay
around one hundred dollars in the
good coin of the realm, and when they
returned home Art was, he said, a
likely subject for the hospital, instead
of for his job in the sulphite mill. In
place of finding rest and relaxation,
he found nerve tension and that
tagged out feeling.
Some time ago, while fishing at Rice
lake, near Wright's cottage, Win
nige asked the Chicago owner of land

bordering the lake, what he would
take for little peninsula. He was
named a very moderate figure and he
snapped at it like big-mouthed bass
at a fly, Then he shared his good
luck with Steve Gross and they built
a summer cottage on the point, where
they and their families have been
spending non-productive time this sum-
mer and thoroughly enjoying them
selves.
Winnige says that he can reach the
summer resort in forty minutes from
home in his "Hup" Since he pur-
chased the lake shore property, sew
prices have gone upward.

FARMERS LEARNED LESSON.

Farmers in Iowa are not holding
their oats for $1.00 per bushel and
their corn for $500 or $3.50 per bushel
as they did year or two ago. Now
they are selling oats at 1910 - cents
per bushel and new corn is starting at
25 to 80 cents per bushel. With hogs at
$500 TO $1,000 per cwt. it pays well to
feed them, and that is the only place
the Iowa farmer can play even this
year, and with their loss on oats they
will do their farming this year at a
loss Oh the average.
