Mem High Court
Justice Due
This Week

pointment by Preside n t
IL. Harding to the Supreme
Bench. has been confirmed after
q painful struggle, will start for
Washington on Thursday and will
take his oath Of office as a men,
ber of the highest judicial body
In the United States on January
2. Mr.. Butler will be accom-
panied by Mrs. Butler and their
eldest daughter, Miss Margaret
Butler. and as soon as they reach
Washington they will set about
the rather trying business of find
Ing a suitable house.
The Buffers, however. will keep
their home in st. Paul open until
after the close Of the school year
In order that their younger chill
dren may not be interrupted in
their school attendance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Butler, whose eld-
est daughter died in the service
Of the United States during tho
world war, have seven living chill
dren. OF them all. however, only
Miss Margaret Butler will accom-
pany her parents to Washington.
She should prove a welcome addi-
ton to the interesting group of
girls whose fathers hold high
places in the Government service.
A graduate of Bryn Mawr, she
has since taken up the study Of
law at the University Of Minne-
sofa. Whether or not she will
continue her law course after
coming to Washington remains to
be seen.
There was some thought that
possibly Mr.. Butler would bring
his son, Pierce Butler, Jr.. to
Washington as his secretary, but
the new Justice has scotched this
by stating that the young attor-
ney, a member Of the firm which
the father is quitting to assume
his judicial position. will be head
of the Butler family in st. Paul
In the absence OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Butler.
A MODEST little notice printed
recently to the effect that
the Metropolitan Club had pur-
chased the property at 1912 H
street sets one to wondering Just
what sort of a shake-up 1t will
cause in Washington society.
The house, you see, Is an apart
ment house and ever so many
prominent people make their
home there.
For instance, there are Col. and
Mrs. William Eric Fowler. For
q number of years Colonel Fowler
has occupied a big apartment
there, the only one In town which
boasts a ballroom of it's own.
Then when he was married some
thing over year ago, he leased
another big apartment and had
the two Of them thrown together.
John Barrett, I believe, also has
an apartment there. which he
occupies when he is in town; and
Mrs. Frederic l.. Chaplin has made
her home at 1712 II street for sew
eral years. Her apartment Is
leased to Mrs. Philip Lansdale, Of
New York. for the winter months.
The Metropolitan Club has pur-
chased the property with a view
to converting 1t into club quarters
which by the way, seems to
give the lie to the rumor that
the club had suffered tremendous
ly since prohibition went into ef-
feet and that it's finances were in
q bad way.
The apartment. which adjoins
the club on the west, was for
many years occupied by the
French embassy, and prior to that
was the home of the late Admiral
Porter, from whose estate II was
purchased by Theodore Davis
Boal. who made 1t into an apart
ment.

PRAIRIE FARMS
~ IN RJJSK COUNTY

Joe Lechner owned 100 acres, eight
miles northwest of Ladysmith, which
he moved onto in 1912. In 1919 he
sold the northwest forty to his broth
er-in-law, Alvin Meyer. Standing at
the west edge of this quarter section
and looking east one is reminded of
the smooth rolling prairies of the corn
belt. The land of this farm is cleared
to the top of the hill and join G.
Gustafson's clearing which lays just
south of this land making a strip
close to three-fourths of mile long
and nearly across the forties in one
solid field. There are grain and hay
crops on it all
The land is sandy loan and the
crops are fairly good though not as
heavy as on heavier, soil in Rusk
county. An additional ten acres has
been stumped and is now ready for the
pillow. The house on this farm is lex
20, with a kitchen, 12x16. The hay
shed is 34x5O, and there is a lean-to
for live stock.
: Mr.. Lechner has three good, young
horses and one old one. There are
eight cows and some young stock.

EARLY FALL PLOW-
ING is THE BEST

September, October, November-the
three big fall months. Make them
big by clearing all the land you pos
sibly can for next years hay or for
age crops. Burn, pull Or blast the
stumps from the old pasture and
break it up for spring crops if the
seeding has run out. An acre broken
in the fall is apt to be worth two
acres broken in the spring. Spring
breaking generally does not pay here
Early fall blowing brings bigger crops
than late fall or spring blowing in the
corn belt. 1t will probably do the
same here
New settlers who wish to. prosper
will use the pillow only on cradle
knobs and raise hay so that they can
keep good cows. Farming follows
hay in this country much better than
hay will follow farming.

RUSK COUNTY; A PRETTY
GOOD PLACE TO LIVE

Editor NewS-Budget,
Ladysmith, Wisconsin.
Dear Mr.. Bell:
One Of our customers just came back
from little vacation trip up through
Rusk county and on his return he
brought some samples Of corn and
oats grown ON the G. A. Brown farm,
known as the Spring Hill Dairy in
the town of hurry.
We were pleased indeed with the
fine specimens Of what Rusk county
can produce. The corn stalks are
twelve feet in height, well covered
with foliage and the ears are of prop
er maturity for this time of the year.
The oats stand just exactly six feet
high and the heads are well filled out
and numerous on the stem.
All Of this goes to show that Rusk
county is pretty good place in
which to live and that it is fast COM
ing to the front as an agricultural
county. / have many pleasant recol-
lections of the times spent in Rusk
county and of the good people it was
my fortune to meet during the time ]
was connected with the Ingram State
Bank.
With kindest personal regards, ]
am,
Yours very truly,
w. G. ROSEBERRY.

DONALD FARMER PROGRESSIVE

A. M. Abar has lived ON his SO-acre
farm, one mile northwest of Arnold,
for the past two years. He has cleared
and stumped 16 acres of open land
and is now brushing and seeding. He
has a house, 14x20, and barn, 32x
GA feet, with a gambrel roof, and full
basement.
Mr.. Abar is building up herd Of
Holstein cattle. While here last week
B. G. Packer, of Madison, who helped
to get Mr.. Abar to locate in Northern

COUNTY, DRIVE
ON FOR PICRIC ACID
Order Your Picric Acid From
Your Banks This Week.
Car Coming Soon

The banks of the county that are
taking orders for picric acid are anx-
ious to get their orders all in by Mon
day evening. A car will then be or
dered and no one who has failed to
place his order now will be able to get
any.
Consult your banker at once and
place your order for what you need
up to 500 pounds. This is a rare OPP
portunity that the wide-awake farm
er. will take advantage of.
As all work done by the banks and
the newspapers on this project is do
mated you should do your share by
placing your order now. No one will
call on you to solicit your order.
Another million pounds of picric
acid has recently been allotted to Wis
consin for, land clearing purposes.
This is the second allotment made
this state this season. This explosive
is now ready for shipment and five
carloads have already been delivered.
Farmers who ordered 200 pounds
can now increase their order to 500
pounds. Orders will be accepted up to
800 pounds from farmers until the sup
ply is exhausted.
Freight Rate Cut
The next shipment will be sold at a
reduction of half cent per pound, due
to cut in freight rates. The cost in
car lots delivered will be $11.20. Lo-
cal freight must be paid by the farm
er if he desires shipment by rail from
where the car is spotted.
Rtisk County Behind
Rusk county Is behind in getting
what is coming to us, due no doubt
to the fact that we have no county
agent to look after it and such things
do not look after themselves. It's up
to the farmer now to help themselves.

Falls, Mimi. they visited at the home
of Mr.. Arts sister, Mrs Alvin Heckel,
for several days. The party also Wis
tied Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Hoffman at
Sacred Heart, MINI. Mr.. Arts de-
clared that no place on the trip looked
as good as Rusk county and he be-
lieved Rusk county farmers On the av-
erage are doing better than their
brethren in Minnesota. One has to
travel around little to fully appre-
ciate aRusk county, Mr.. Arts truth
fully says.

WHY NOT LET
WELL ENOUGH ALONE

Would it not be better to comply
with the county reclamation law as
it now stands and if more iberality
to the settler is desired allow him full
100 per cent of the clearing cost as
the law provides, than to start agitat-
ing changes like broadening it to in
clude buildings and fences and to take
off the clause which demands the sig
nature of the lien holders? The law
is not bad the way it is and we should
let it alone if we want to get it going.
