by turning his car sharply, but was
unable to do do, as the children did
not see the car coming, their attention
being attracted from their course by
something else. The children were
thrown to the ground and the bicycle
was wrecked. The CHECKER boy was
not hurt, but his companion was
bruised above the left eye and on one
of her limbs Mr.. Laidlaw took her
in his car and to her home on Lake-av.

CARNIVAL CO. SHOW
ING AT FAIRGROUNDS

The Great Middle West Carnival Co.
arrived here from Rhinelander Mon
day according to their schedule and
their contract. As their license had
been revoked, to set up in the city, they
made arrangements with the officers of
the town of Flambeau and the Rusk
County Agricultural Society to show
on the fairgrounds where they have
been holding forth during the week, en-
Pertaining fair-sized crowds and cop
ping a corresponding cash income.
In the way of mechanical amuse-
ments, such as the Ferris wheel, mer-
ry-go-round and seaplane, the show is
a good one There are some games of
chance that have been well patronized
The ubiquitous kewpie is much.in evil
dence, but appear not to be so popular
as heretofore with patrons.
1t is said that the American Legion
is to get a percentage of the receipts
Of the show, notwithstanding the at
tempt last week to nullify the contract
with the carnival company, which, if
true, shows that the management is
friendly to the ex-service men.
We have heard no complaints against
the show The muscle dance" is pat
ronized almost as literally by women
as by men.
The show goes from here to Rice

EFFORT MADE TO GET
FARMERS LOANS

Glen Householder is here this week
in the interest Of the County Reclama-
ton Act. Together with members of
the reclamation board they have visited
and estimated the cost of clearing on
about thirty farms where the owners
desire loans. The part of the law that
says that all lien holders have to sign
with the man on the land seems to be
a big stumbling block to the progress
of this law There is no such provis
ion on drainage, paving or the like, and
why it is necessary for this certain
class of improvement that is of greater
value to Rusk county than either drain
age or paving is not apparent. The
first years crop of clover should be suf-
ficient to pay for the cost of clearing
where the land is open, cutover and
burned off.

Ladysnith Beaver Colony Has
Remarkable Record For GrOlUth

The local colony of Beavers, known
officially as Ialiysmith No. 402, was
organized about nineteen years ago.
In the early daysiits membership num-
bered about forty. 1T had more or less
difficulty in maintaining itself and af-
ger struggling along for two or three
years, almost gave up its charter.
However, the fraternal spirit was
strong enough to he'd a small num-
Der faithful and loyaS and about fiji
teen years ago an era cof prosperity
dawned.
In 1907, through the efforts of Dep
uty Minnie Peterson, the colony was
increased to a membership af 60 or 20.
About 1910, through canpaign put
on by Deputy W. III. Woodworth, of
Eau Claire, the membership was
brought up to about 49, The lodge
has always been characterized for it's
social activity Even when the mem
bership was quite small, regular meet
ings were held and the principles of
fraternalism practiced. Members who
were sick and in distress received
kindly sympathy and assistance from
the lodge. Good fellowship and So
liability has always characterized the
Beaver gatherings.
During the war, the energy of the
members that formerly had gone into
lodge activities, was turned to patriotic
duties. The social meetings of the
lodge during this time of national cri-
sis, gave place to Red Cross and other
activities which had for their purpose
support and comfort to the boys who
were in foreign fields and the ulti-
