by Il spurt in the second half, double
foul was called by Referee Jay, the To-

1921 Birth Rate In Rusk County
Feature of Increasing Population

Unless some devastating disease gets
in it's deadly work in Rusk county, the
population bids fair to continue to in
crease by leaps and bounds. 4 COM
pilation of statistics from certificates
filed in the register of deeds ONCE,
shows that during the year 1921, there
were 459 births in the county and only
11S deaths. Even the number OF mar.
riages exceeds the number Of deaths
by one. The small number of deaths
is believed to be indicative of the
healthful conditions of this part of
the state, including such factors as the
famous water and pure, dry air. OF

OFFICERS INSTALLED
BY .R. N. A. LODGE

The Royal Neighbor lodge had open
installation Wednesday evening, and
four outside camps were represented
at the meeting, namely: Weyerhaeus-
er, Hawkins, Sheldon and Tony. There
were about 175 people present.
Deputy Grand, Minnie Comstock, of
Spooner, took charge of the meeting
and conducted the installation of Off
GERS. The drillswork was splendid and
those present were certainly very pleas
ed with the fine way in which this work
was carried out.
After the officers were properly in-
stalled for the ensuing year, the rest of
the evening was spent socially. Mrs.
Calkins favored the Camp with a song,
Somewhere a Voice is Calling" Ev-
eryOne was pleased with her singing.
The Deputy Grand gave very inter-
esting talk about her work and how she
had organized three new camps within
a couple of months and what fine work
they were doing, even though they were
organized in towns that had only a
store postoffice and garage. She
seemed very much pleased with the
work of the local lodge, which has a
membership of 236 and more are expect
ed TO enter before spring.
Mrs Comstock will like very much to
have the lodges in this county to hold a
convention at Ladysmith this summer,
and the lodges are very much in favor
Of it and are willing to cooperate with
her in doing all they can to carry out
this plan
Lunch was served to about 10 peo-
pie, after which games were played.
