-Four Governors viii Attend.

Spokane, Wash.-It is expected the
governors of four states will attend
the second annual Sportsmen's and
Tourists fair at Spokane April t2-15.
The entries for the fair are growing
and it is evident that most of the
sections which offer attractions for
tourists will be represented at the
show. Indications point to an ex-
ceptional display of fish which are to
be frozen IN blocks Of ice free of
charge to exhibitors. Wardens are
issuing permits to take fish for ex-
hibition purposes in advance of the
opening of the season and the ex-
hibits are being prepared as quickly
as they are received and then placed
in storage. Live communities thru
out the Inland Empire are taking ad-
vantage of what promises to be an
exceptional opportunity for desirable
publicity at minimum outlay.

URSUL|NE ACADEMY
DRAMA WAS PLEASING
DESPITE BAD WEATHER AT
TENDANCE WAS GOOD AND
Z AUDIENCE WAS DELIGHTED.

lnclement weather did not deter a
representative and highly apprecia-
tive audience from greeting the girls
of the high school department of the
/ Ursuline Academy last evening, when
the curtain rose for the presentation
OF the Senior Glass play, "a Summer
time Romeo"
The plays given at the Academy
are always well-staged and enjoyable,
but for originality of plot, and bright
witty sayings, "a Summertime
Romeo" far surpasses anything yet
presented in st. Ursula's Auditorium
The praise for this signal success
is due to the untiring zeal of the Ur-
suline Sisters, in drilling the indivi-
dual roles, and the girls repaid the
careful teaching by their rendition of
the parts assigned them.
Romeo, rather difficult role, was
played by Miss Josephine Keane, she
out-Romeod Romeo among the many
fair Juliets, and having "a way with
the ladies'" won them all.
Miss Ethel King, as Louise" won
all things from game of basket ball
on the college campus to the heart Of
Romeo.
Beatrice O'Connor as Mrs. Jones,
borrowing neighbor, Mary Ebel as
Mrs. Hoard, the dishonest house,
keeper and Ethel Hordemann, as the
sheriff." drew merited applause.
Miss Winifred Moser, the sweet
hammered aunt, the Misses Helen
Hadden, Mabel Eichner and Mary
Elizabeth Williamson, college chums
of Louise exhibited fine dramatic
talent.
Other who scored decided success
in their respective roles were: The
Misses Della Newhall, Eunice Won
Ende, Fay Kitley, Nellie Ameling.
Opal Kinnier, Meta Eddy, Iris Arm
bruster, Genevieve Wright, Cleo. and
Arley Strohm, Marjorie Robbins,
Elsie Moser, Agnes Randall, and
Margaret Fox.
One Of the most pleasing features
of the play was the Kitchen Sym
phony" in which kitchen utensils took
the place of musical instruments A
tin funnel, in ripping notes, gave
the call 'sto arms" and into unison
came dishpan, fire shovel, tongs,
tin buckets, pot lids, tin pans, glasses,
water jars, flour sieves and a bread
Knife, all of which in the skillful
hands of the Academy girls, gave
'orth unbelievably bewitching and
harmony.
1t was the unanimous opinion of
Ill present that it was "too good
,lay for so small an audience"

BRUSH AND SEED TO
LOWER DYNAMITE PRICE
ARE FOR
A SHORT HAY CROP

Much Of the clover over the country
killed out last winter and this spring
means a short hay crop this fall.
A colOnizing company in northern
Wisconsin county ran this advertise
ment in their local newspaper last
week: I'VE must raise our own hay.
We must not ship in hay from outside
points. Thousands of dollars can be
saved to push forward the develop
ment of our community if we will stop
shipping in hay. 1t never pays to feed
purchased hay to farm livestock in this
territory. Brush and log your idle
acres and SOW clover seed. This will
bring hay in 1922.
For 1921 oats and peas planted to-
gether and cut green makes good hay.
Plan now to raise hay on your own
farm for all your stock. Let's stop for
good this business Of shipping in baled
hay.
I'VE have the best hay producing
country in the United States. Let's
give the country chance TO show It
self.
We comment on this advertisement
as follows:
First, they are absolutely right
They are putting this advertisement
in the paper from what might be called
a selfish standpoint. We do not crit
ciZe them for this as we all are ant
should be selfish and jealous of Oul
best business interests.
Here's the real point: The settlers
must succeed or the company that sells
them their land cannot.
BY brushing and seeding the settler
can succeed. BY blowing much lane
they are very apt to fail. We think
it is much better to pillow cradle knobs
and work the ground with spring tooth
harrow. disc or bog pillow SO the seed
will have better chance to get start
ed when sowing grass at this time OF
the year. Always sow some timothy
with clover Some good farmers use
half timothy and half clover as il
cheapens the cost per acre, and ii
sowed right you get a good stand OF
both. You also get crop of hay from
the timothy in case the clover kills
out.

BY Using Clover Seed You Are
Patronizing Home Industry.
by Using Dynamite You Are
PatrOnizing Distant Corpora
tiOns

One Of our old-timers told us The
other day that as long as new settlers
kept on buying dynamite before they
were ready for it the price of dynamite
would stay high.
This man thinks Rusk county is us
ing plenty of dynamite this year and
used too much last year. He says that
900 much clover sod was plOwed UNI
der last year which caused a shortage
of hay and as little cash was realized
from the crops raised in place Of the
hay it caused a shortage OF money.
There is a dynamite mine on every
farm in RuSk county. The old hogs,
brush and trash all contain dynamite
in the form of condensed fire. This
refuse piled cOmpactly on the south
west side Of any old dry stump will
burn the stump down to where roots
can be pulled with a team, with the eX-
,.eption Of stumps in sandy soil where
the roots run straigllter down into the
ground.
Tt sometimes pays to take long
pointed spade and dig small channel
under the roots so as to give the fire a
chance to take hold.
On the most stubborn dry stumps one
stick of dynamite we'll placed will open
ND the ground under the stump so that
If will all burn out. This should be
done before starting the pile. One
man cleared 20 acres that way last
year and didn't haul any trash or logs
and only has 20 stumps left on the ~
acres of meadow. He claims that he
burned twice as much brush and logs
as would be required to burn those
twenty Stumps but preferred to blast
those few TO hauling the trash to
them. This was open, well burnt over
land and there were not so many
stumps as the average field contains.
When there are more stumps there are
more logs so the plan works out about
the same. At any rate man should
study land clearing before starting
in. Take a day and go out among the
settlers who have made big clearings
and talk to them. 1t will be paying
| day for you.
| The above applies especially TO new
| land. and is written for new and old
settlers who have new land to clear
Any man with an old field of hay OF
pasture that contains stumps and has
no old logs or trash should remove
the stumps. Then level the land anc
seed the spots to grass. It's a goo(
plan to spring tooth the whole fielf
and re-seed it after cutting the frs
crop of hay.
When we buy clover seed we are pat
rOnizing home industry. When we bu.
dynamite we are patrOnizing distan
| corporations. If we all pull tOgethe
on this clearing proposition there is NJ
limit to what we can accomplish.
Let us all be for Rusk county, first
last and all the time.

GROW HAY AND PASTURE;
KEEP COWS AND SHEEP

Wisconsin is given first place as
growing the highest percentage of the
total clover seed crop in the United
States, by the department of agricul-
tllre. Wisconsin raises 1872 per cent
of the clover seed. New York and Cali
fOrnia are given first and second on
hay production, while Wisconsin is
given third place This is all based on
total production but it is very prob
able that northern Wisconsin produces
more hay per acre than southern Wis
consin or any other state in the union.
with the possible exception of some
irrigated patches of alfalfa in the
west.
The cost of raising this irrigated
alfalfa greatly exceeds the cost OF
growing clover here so that we have
far greater net returns per acre than
they DO.
We should all concentrate our eff
forts on growing hay and pasture in
Rusk county and by feeding this crop
to good dairy cows and sheep we can
make very prosperous territory here
in five years time.

LAND MAN BUYS
2 MORE TRACTS OF LAND

T. G.. Jones knows values of land in
Rusk county as we'll as the oldest in
habitant. When he buys more land
here it proves the fact that he has faith
in the development of this territory.
Mr.. Jones owns five fOrties 612 miles
northeast of Ladysmith on the Big
Falls road. Last Friday he closed a
deal for the forty directly across the
road from III. NJ Beckett's farm which
corners with his other land and gives
him another quarter mile of road front
on the east. This land lays on each
side of the section line and when
road is built there it could be cut into
six 40-acre farms.
Mr.. Jones also bought 346 acres OF
wild land last week that lays one-half
a mile north of Crane.

LAND MEN ARE
FARMING EXTENSIVELY

Peoples & Conwell are clearing and
breaking land on the Chinaman ranch
4 miles south of Ladysmith. A half
dozen of the settlers near there are put
ting in the crops. They now have 80
acres for peas, 80 acres for potatoes,
and 60 acres for millet.
As soon as the crops are i'll they
expect to run three plows and break all
the land they can which will be lev
years crop of hay. They pillow the
small brush and trash under.
Besides this Mr.. Conwell is devel-
Dping a 133-acre farm s miles south
is putting in crops there on about 30
acres.
Mr.. Conwell is also improving MS
0O-acre farm, miles northwest of La
dysmith. He has - acres there
cleared for potatoes and another ten
acres are almost cleared. Mr.. Con
well has two big teams and outfits
and Mr.. Peoples has one.
Henry Wilson is also actively Ell
gagged in clearing land on his farm, five
miles north Of Ladysmith. We have
been invited to 60 out and look this
farm over, and will have more to say
about it later.
These men know that it pays them
big to improve their farms, and they
make good money by any improvements
and clearing they put on the land.
There is the biggest kind of al
opening here for men with money t(
buy land and develop it. We believe
that they can double every dollar the,
| use that way every year, if they arr
good buyers and understand their bus
mess thoroughly

A GOOD REFRIGERA-
TOR FOR FARM USE

4 number of our new settlers are
without ice or other means, of keeping
milk cool. There are several ways of
making cheap, convenient cooling
place for milk, butter and other food
If a spring is convenient. box with
a cover can be placed in the spring
and fixed up to take care of the food.
If you have a well, canopy can he
built over the pump stand to shelter
it from the sun and box can be put
under the pump spout and arranged
to hold anything that is to be kept
cool. All water pumped for stock
should flow through this box and be
allowed to run off into the tub or tank
used by the stock.
A good cool place may be made by
digging a hole in the ground in some
shady place.
