SUCCESSOR TO MIR. KASL
IN RUSK COUNTY BANK

In seeking a successor to F. w. Kasl.
who leaves for California this week.
the Rusk County Bank is satisfied it
has found the right man in A. L.
Morken, of Cumberland. Mr.. Morken
will take up his duties in the bank
January first and will move his fam
lily here. Mr.. Morken is vice-president
of the Island City State Bank of Cum
berland and has been connected with
that institution % years. Besides be-
ing an all-around banker, Mr.. Nor
ken is particularly fitted to deal
with the problems of farmers and
stockmen, owing to his long expert
ence in the development of Barron
county from territory such as Rusk
county now is, to the eminent posi-
tl0n OF one of the leading dairy coun-
ties in the state. He has been one of
the foremost in Barron county in
pushing the agricultural and dairy in
terests OF that county, and his ability
and progressive spirit was recognized
by the State Bankers Association
when he was made chairman of the
agricultural committee of that we'll
known organization. He has been es-
pecially active and interested in pro-
noting the introduction of pure-bred
dairy cattle into his community which
is recognized as one of the rich Sec
tions of the state and he has contrib
uted very largely to it's prosperity. It
will be his work in part to do the same
thing here. Therefore, he should, and
no doubt will, receive a warm welcome
in Ladysmith and Rusk county by all
classes.

Dregne, ]. L. McCorison, L. G. Streat-
er, Rev. G. V. Clark, l.. e. McGill, and
pleasant association with the depart
ing member, both as buiness associates
and in the civic work Of the Chamber
of Commerce, in which Mr.. Kasl has
been a leader ever since his arrival
here The addresses by Rev Clark
and Atty. McGill were particularly
eloquent. The latter closed his re-.
marks with the presentation to Mr..
Kasl of two tokens of esteem from
{. of c. members, red bandanna
handkerchief and a beautiful gold
ring set with Masonic emblem. Mr.
Kasl was deeply touched by the ex-
preston of Lady'smith's high regard
for him and responded with difficulty.
This being the annual meeting, the
election of three directors was held,
the following being chosen: John
HoltZ, r. B. Macdonald and G. J.

BASKETBALL
VALUATIONS
Basketball Recording Manual
Work of Local Fan and
Author

1t has been known since last Win
ter that ]. w. Carow, attorney of this
city, sport lover and confirmed basket
ball fan, had developed a system for
rating the ability of basketball play
ers, which he invented for his own
amusement. Last summer former
physical director of an eastern college
and more recently engaged in Univer-
sity of Wisconsin extension work was
in the city and he was told of the
Carow system He Immediately sought
an interview with Mr.. Carow investi-
gated the system and approved it. La
ter the Athletic Publishing Company
of Madison, Wis, acquired the copy
right of the system ard has published
it in booklet form as the Basketball
Recording Manual" and has placed it
on sale. It is a valuable work, es-
pecially to scorers, coaches and play
ers. AS the system can be learned in
short time by little study, it is
also interesting to lovers of the game
of basketball generally.
Before CnlS system was evolved
there was no agreement on who was
the most valuable player on a team,
who lost the games, or where the
weakness of the team lay. Some play
ers received more credit than was due
them, while others received less than
was due them. The conditions demand
ed some way to record the plays as
made. After giving the matter con-
siderable study, the author evolved
simple system of basketball shorthand
which solved the problem and which
enables the scorer to record every
play. At the close of game, percent
ages are computed from the tabula-
tion of plays, and the correct valuation
of player on the team is easily as
certained. In order that the players
may visualize their work in the game,
when it is all over, graphs may be
made which will show the relative
efficiency of the players. The system
is wonderful stimulus in developing
individual players and teamwork.

PASSENGER LOCOMOTIVE
HITS AUTOMOBILE

As Isaac Ryall, of the town Of
Grant, was taking Miss Mae Morgan
to the training school in this city on
Tuesday, the locomotive of passenger
train No S5, due here at 1901 p. m.,
struck the fender of his car, at the
First-street crossing, but did not in
jure the occupants. 1t was just that
near to a bad accident. Mr.. Ryall
saw no train coming and supposed that
S5 had passed., as it was little after
one o'clock. The car was within a
few feet of the track when Miss Nor
gan saw the train and screamed Mr..
Ryall threw on the emergency brake
and reversed his engine. There is no
ilagman at this crossing to give warn
ing of danger, and warehouses OBJ
scure the view in either direction. The
result of the accident might be called
adverse luck.

LADYSMITH A. C.'S
PLAY MARSHFIELD
Strong Basketball Quintet Here
Friday Night. Dance
After Game

A basketbll game between Marsh
field and Ladysmith A. c. was finally
arranged for Dec. 10, after consider
able correspondence. Ladysmith played
at Marshfield last year and held the
strong Co. G.. team to a 25-20 score
(winning second half 14-S) which was
the closest score any team in the state
held Marshfeld to.
Marshfield did not lose a game all
season on their own floor and only one
away from home, that being at Wis
cOnsin Rapids At the time this game
was agreed upon last year Marshfield
promised us return game, but re-
fused to play later, at any price Or
guarantee. The Marshfield team has
a new manager this year.
Ladysmith is very anxious to trim
Marshfield and is going to do it, The
game will have to start at z :45 p. m.
as the Marshfield team leaves on the
9:19 p. M. train in order to play an
other game at Marshfield Sunday.
The Ladysmith A C.'s started out
to play all games this season for 10
and 80 cents admission, but found out
it is going to be impossible to play
such teams as Marshfield at these
prices, as the seating capacity will
not admit large enough crowds Those
who attended the Thanksgiving day
game know the size of the crowd that
turned out and the receipts were only
$77.30. Plans are under way to put
bleachers in the gym so more people
cn be handled, but this will be impos-
sible until the Christmas vacation. 1t
will be necessary, therefore, to charge
% and so cents.
The Marshfield team is composed
mostly of eX-college stars and all hired
players. O'Malley, of M qudtte
fame, is rated as the best guard in the
state (you should see him shoot bas-
kets from the standing guard posi-
tiOn.) Eaton, the ex-Ripon college
star, was picked for the Little Five"
college team. Huber, the big 200-fb
center, has been considered the best
basketball player that la Crosse nor
NAL ever turned out Other mem
bers on the team are all stars: Art
Reeths. Jimmie Wendt and J. Thom
Marshfield has one-arm basketball
wizard that will be on the job if he
gets back to Marshfield in time to
come up with the bunch.
We not only need your financial
help to make this game a success, but
need you there to help root If the
Ladysmith people want to see a good
game, they had better turn out for
this one. This bunch trimmed the
Wisconsin Rapids bunch four out Of
five games in their series last year.
There will be a dance at Cass' hall
after the game. Last dance before
Christmas, so better make big night
of it and take in both events.

GROCERY STORE:
STOCK BURNED
Fire In Brooklyn Sunday Night
Destroys It's Only
Store

The first destructive fire of the win
ter in Ladysmith practically destroyed
the grocery store of Chas. Baribeau,
Menasha-av., Brooklyn late Sunday
evening.
Though the walls of the building
still stand, the inside is burned cut
and but very little of the stock was
salvaged. The loss. on stock is esti-
mated at about $1,000 and about the
same amount on the building, which
was of frame construction.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but Mr.. Baribeau is inclined to be-
lieve that the long stove pipe came
apart and fell, permitting fire to es-
cape into the room. The fire was dis
covered at about 8 80 o'clock and an
alarm was sent in to the fire station.
but Immediately after the siren was
started, the station got message
not to sound an alarm There was
delay OF few minutes before an
other alarm was sounded when it was
found that there was a real fire in
progress. Consequently, there was a
delay in reaching the fire by the fire
department. which gave the fire a start
that could not be overcome until af-
ter much damage had been done.
MI. Baribeau intends to rebuild and
stock up as soon as he can make the
arrangements. He carried insurance.
which, however, lacked much of cover
ing the loss. The store has been do
ing good business. 1t was the only
store in that part of the CITY
