MARRIAGE CREATES
VACANCY AMONGST
BACHELOR CLUBMEN
Blot w d s swor t n
Weds Mrs. Guy
III. Scull

WITH the marriage of Eliot
w Wadsworth, Assistant SecTe-
tary Of the Treasury. and Mrs.
Guy H. Scull. another name will
be added to the "In Memoriam"
list Of official Washington's most
famous bachelor club. For a
number of years career men OF
the State Department and other
clever young men in Uncle Sans
service have enrolled at "171S II
street." when they duty had
brought them to Washington, and
always there is an interesting
little group of "marriageable
eligibles" in residence. More.
over, the list of former members
who have fallen from grace is
even more imposing.
Mr.. sWadsworth has been living
at the Club since coming to
Washington. with Basil Miles. OF
the State Department-now gone
off TO Paris-Leland Harrison,
now the First Assistant Secre.
tary OF StLte, and several others.
And they It was who were driven
out into the night by fire one
night last winter. A defective
flue caused a blaze which devel.
, oped most destructively, as the
firemen were concentrated that
night at the Knickerbocker dis.
aster.
Undismayed by the loss of
everything except their wearing
apparel. the residents at 17lS II
began at once to restore the
house as nearly as possible and
it's ready for occupancy again.
One wonders. however, how many
Of the lovely things with which
the house was filled were destroy.

the far corners of the earth by
young diplomats, many Of whom
are now high on the rolls Of the
State Department. who have been
at one time or another residents
OF the club.
The I'm Memoriam" column re.
ferred to above. is inscribed on one
side of the great silver loving cup.
which is one of the treasures Of
the establishment. Under the
heading There They Co." it bears
the names Of the backsliders, with
those of the ladies responsible. On
the reverse side, under the cap
ton, Here They Come" are en-.
graved the names Of the babies
born to former members Of the
club.
THE dispatches telling of Mr..
Wadsworth's marriage stated
that ION the completion OF a short
wedding journey" he would bring
his bride to Washington. l rather
suspect that 1t will be a very short
honeymoon, for the Assistant Sec
retary Of the Treasury is also
treasurer of the Foreign Debt
Funding Commission, which will
be working nights from now on.
Washington Is looking forward
with considerable interest to meet.
ing Mrs. Wadsworth, and will give
her a hearty welcome, for Mr..
Wadsworth is exceedingly popular.
Moreover, she is a former Wash.
ington girl. having been Miss
Nancy whitman before her mar.
rage to the late Guy H. Scull, and
being a daughter Of Mrs. Matthew
Calbraith Butler, There is an add.
ed touch Of interest about the mar
riage-from the fact that Mr..
wadsworth and the late Mr.. Scull,
author and explorer. were devoted
friends, and 1t was while the lat
ter was working on a biography Of
his chum, soon to be published,
that the friendship with his widow
warmed to romance.

VICE PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
was out Of town for the
first day or two Of last week,
slipping away long enough to
make addresses before the
Chamber Of Commerce at Buffalo
and Rochester. He seems to
take his duties at the Senate
more seriously than any other
Vice President I can remember.
Or perhaps It is only that the
present Senate is keeping moro
continuously on the Job than any
Of It's predecessors. At all events
Mr.. Coolidge allows himself al.
most no holidays and refuses to
make dinner engagement for fear
Of running afoul Of a night
session.
With her boys safely dis
patched to New England and out

voting herself to keeping cool and
enjoying her unwonted leisure.

SAFETY FIRST
SUGGESTIONS
Radio Wires Should Be Erected
With Care and Fore
thought

Safety suggestions and warnings to
radio fans are very timely because of
the growing use of the radio and the
casualties which may occur due to in
stallatiOn.
do not install antennae on poles
carrying high voltage equipment or
close to any other wires as such in
stallation may endanger linemen who
do not know of it's existence. Broken
antennae wires might come into con-
tact with charged wire and cause
death, injury, or fire.
Do not erect iron pipe, to support
aerials adjacent to live wires.
Do not install aerials so that broken
wires may come in contact with guy
wires.
Always be sure to attach wireless
aerials to substantial supports.
1t is easily seen how the electric
wire coming in contact with the radio
wire would endanger person. The
current might even be carried through
the telephone wires and be dangerous
to the life of someone telephOning. EX-
treme care in putting up amateur ra-
dio outfits should be taken. Keep it
over your own property so that the
liability of others is minimized

TONY CHEESE FACTORY
RUNS DAY AND NIGHT

The Tony cheese factory now oper-
ated by r. B. Giese started running
nights this week and will continue AS
long as the flow of milk exceeds their
day time capacity. They are getting
10000 pounds of milk every "a hours,
making around 1,500 pounds of cheese
per day. A year ago this plant was
getting 1900 pounds of milk per day
as butter paid better than cheese. Now
cheese is leading butter by small
margin.
For the last half of the month the
Tony farmers received ~ cents per
pound for butterfat and the first half
of July, 4S cents per pound was re-
ceived.
1t is estimated that around 25,0OO
pounds of milk is produced within a
radius of four miles Of Tony.

LIBRARY ROBBED
SATURDAY NIGHT
Miscreants Also Break Into
Highschool Building
SIS Taken

Two public buildings of Ladysmith
were broken into Saturday night
when the library was robbed of $15
in cash. Nothing was missed from the
highschool building where miscreants
gained entrance to the building by
breaking a rear window. Locks on in
side doors were broken by the intrud-
ers in their evident search for valu-
ables.
The public library was entered. by
way of a rear window which was
forced open. The burglars forced the
basement door and the inside front
door with a chisel or some such instru-.
ment and thereby gained access to the
library, where $15 were stolen from
the cash drawer, which was pried
open.
The night before the robbery, two
men were seen by Mrs. ]. f. Mitchell
lettering in suspicious manner about
the court house yard. Mr.. Mitchell
and W. E. Thompson attempted to as
certain the identity of the men, but
could not get close enough to them, as
they lodged in and out of the shrub
berry on the lawns of Miner-av and
Lake-av. homes east of the court
house and on the court house lawn.
When closely pressed they would sep
arate and meet again later in the
evening at another place.
A patrOlman was put on in that dis
trict for the remainder of the night,
but he was unable to catch the sus-
picious strangers. They are supposed
to be two men who were seen earlier
in the evening with a Ford automo-
bile. They were seen hiding in the
shrubbery on the W. e. Thompson
premises and other private properties.
as well as at the court house.
Some of the property owners on
Iake-av., opposite the court house,
want light placed so it will light tue
north side of the court house. They
are frequently annoyed by people who
frequent the place at night.

Prominent Men Speak on Farm
Topics at Annual Meeting
At COnrath
CONGRESSMAN NELSON
ON FARMERS NEEDS
Yellow Dent Corn and Wis. No. or
No. 3 Oats Recommended For
Rusk County

The Rusk county demonstration
farm near Conrath held it's annual
meeting Aug. 3. About 130 farmers
and their families were present.
George NJ Briggs of Madison, gave
a talk on Farmers Organization, and
urged Rusk county farmers to demand
a county agent.
F. B. Morrison, of Madison, gave a
very instructive talk ON Recent Dis
coveries in Stock Feeding" and made it
easily understood how important it is
for dairy and all stOckmen to rec0g-
nize the necessity of properly bal
anced rations for winter feeding. He
said, "Give your cows some succulent
feed during the winter months
legume hay and all they want Of salt
and fresh water. Give the hogs plen-
ty of legume pasture; it keeps them
healthy and enables you to raise
them cheaply.
Representative A. P. Nelson, with
some friends, visited the farm and con-
sented to give a short talk to the farm
ers Mr. Nelson spoke elOquently and
fOrcefully in behalf of Great-Lakes-
tO-Ocean deep waterway and dWelt es-
pecially on the Importance that the
waterway would have to Wisconsin,
and especially Northern Wisconsin ag-
riculture and other enterprises in in
land towns and lake shore cities. Mr..
Nelson also pointed out the necessity
for farmers to cooperate and unite in
efforts politically and economically
and strive for industrial peace and a
united, happy and prosperous America.
Maintaining Soil Fertility
f. L. Musbach, of Marshfeld, spoke
on Maintaining Soil Fertility" Raise
clover. or at least more clover in your
hay. Glover and other legumes are
hired men who work for nothing and
cost nothing to board" was Musbach's
idea
E. j. Delwiche, of Green Bay, dem
OnStrated the field crops. He advised
the farmers to plant yellow dent corn
of variety that can reasonably be eX-
pected to ripen in this locality. Check
row and preferably plant by hand. He
recommended Wisconsin No. or No.
3 oats for Rusk county soils.
r. Matson, of COnrath, demon
strated roots versus corn silage for
dairy herd winter ration. Roots can
be raised from 40 to 60 per cent cheap
er than corn silage and is about Is
per cent more efficient, as a milk pro-
ducing ration, than silage.
Mr.. MatsOn also demonstrated how
to eradicate quack grass by plowing
four inches deep as soon as the first
hay crop is removed and then spring
tooth or disc the land effectively and
very often during the remainder Of
the season, never allowing the Quack-
grass to sprOut through or get green.
The following season the field should
be planted to corn or other cultivated
crop, so that any possible surviving
Quack roots can be disposed of by cul-
tivatOr or hoe
The r. J. Clark Auto Co., of Lady
smith, demonstrated the Samson trac-
tor and a 20-inch breaking plow on
some new rough land near COnrath.
