SELECTING THE SITE
Locating the Carnegie Library Will
Engage the Public At
tion.
After deciding to have a Carnegie li
brary comes the question of location.
The concensus of opinion appears to
favor the ground occupied by the
Flambeau town hall east of the water
works building. It has been suggested
that the town ot Flambeau should be
willing to contribute the site in ex
change for the use of the library.
Some of the officers of the town have
been interviewed on the subject and
found favorable to the proposition. It
would appear to be a fair proposition
and equitable to all interested.
MUSICIAN'S ASSOCIATION
Proposal to Act on the Suggestion to
that Effect.
Some time ago a suggestion was
made in the News that it would be well
for the musician or the county to meet
and form an association for mutual
benefit and amusement.
W. H. H. Ingle of Ladysmith thinks
it a good idea and says that if the mu
sicians of the county will take the mat
ter up with him by mail, he will en
deavor to shape matters with a view to
a permanent association.
It is suggested that a convention be
held at some point in the county and
that it end with an entertainment.
I will from now on deliver milk any
where in the city at five cents per
quart. Thomas Gunderson.
Announcement ! !
While there are but few people who do not
desire to pay their honest debts, there are
about 90 per cent who do wish to, and will
if they are given sufficient time in which to
do so. The causes for the inability to pay
are numerous and of various natures.
I do not believe that the large number of
people in and about Ladysmith who are not
able to pay their bills promptly and who
will pay as soon as circumstances will per
mit, should be classed as deadbeats, or
should they be reported as such..
Therefore I have withdrawn the list of names previously report
ed to the Retail Merchants Association and have asked that they
be not reported to the Association headquarters to be written in the
list that goes to every member of the Association in all parts of the
country. I beleive that every one that can pay will do so as soon
as possible, and I further beleive that those disposed to meet their
obligations should be encouraged, rather than discouraged by hav
ing their names listed as deadbeats and sent to practically every
meachant in the country.

CAMPAIGN AT INGRAM
Contest on for the Chairmanship of
the Town.
A correspondent at Ingram says: Al
though defeated by a narrow margin in
the caucus, Fred Arrowsmith, at the
urgent request of his many friends, has
consented to try out the issue at the
polls for the chairmanship of the town.
While making no promises, those who
know Mr. Arrowsmith, know where he
stands and his record on the school
board ought to be a help to him in his
contest. A fair field is all he asks.
The News wants to see Ingram go
ahead. It want to see good govern
ment) prevail there. We know Fred
Arrowsmith and esteem him highly.
We believe that no better man could
be found anywhere in the county than
he for any office. We trust that he
will be elected. The people at Ingram
should remember that their chairman
will be a member of the county board,
and herein lies our main interrst, for
there we need active, quick-witted men
like Fred Arrowsmith. No one who
has watched the proceedings of the
county board needs further argument.
To Gain Flesh.
You must try to not worry or cry;
nothing so hurts a woman’s looks as
both of these. Sleep all you can,
drink a quart of fresh, rich milk
daily, with plenty of corn bread, fresh
fruit, macaroni and take" sugar with
rice and cream desserts. Use the
cocoa butter to massage the face and
neck. I do not recommend any treat
ment for hollows under the eyes.
They will soon leave when you cease
losing flesh.

THE SHEEPINDUSTRY
Promises to Be an Active One in
Busk County During This
Season.
This season will doubtless see more
sheep pastured in Rusk county than
any year in the past. The people here
tofore in the business have constantly
been increasing the capacity and ac
commodation of their ranch, and while
they have not given any statement, it
is apparent that the concern will not
decrerse the number of sheep to be
pastured this year.
A. E. Powell will set a crew of men
at work clearing on his ranch at Island
Lake as soon as the weather permits
of active work. He will continue the
improvement of his property.
Another new concern that has locat
ed at Island Lake will put in a large
number of sheep this season.
There may be others, not yet report
ed, who will be an element is the sheep
industry here.
Ben C. Lee & Cos. have great special
sales—they also have bargains every
days in the year. This applies, among
other things, to boys’ clothing—in
which line they make special prices
every day.
The 1906 Girl.
And to other eccentricities, the full,
circular skirt, the high chignon, and
the tip-tilted hat and the lace veil,
mid you have a young woman so fla
grantly flippant and "rivolous that the
sensible shirt-waist summer girl of
1904 and 1905 first gasps, then curls
her lip, and finally goes—a-shopping.
DISEASESOF CATTLE
Spread of Tuberculosis and its prevent
ion by Tests Made in Prop
er Time.
The records of the college of agricul
ture furnish many striking examples of
the way in which the disease is spread
broadcast by the wide dispersion of ani
mals through purchase from a single in
fected herd. In one instance forty-six
cattle from the herd were sold to twelve
different persons. Of these forty-six
thirty-two responded to the tuberculin
test, although none of the animals show
ed any appearance of the disease at the
time of the sale. Through this sale of
infected animals the disease was spread
to twelve herds which up to that time
had been free from the disease. Had
the tuberculin test not been applied soon
sale, all of these twelve herds
would have become as completely infect
ed as was the original one. Fortunate
ly the first test was made shortly after
the sale of the tuberculous herd. The
disease had just begun to spread through
the other individual herds, and to strike
other animals, though the time between
the purchase and the test was only
three months.
Maps Show Widespread Infection
Maps of various districts of the state
upon which are indicated infected herds
show that the disease is widespread.
By means of the tests carried on during
the past four years it has been possible
in many cases to locate the centers of
of infection, and to show how, in almost
all cases disease has been carried from
these centers to surrounding herds by
the purchase of infected animals. Since
from six to twelve per cent of the ani
mals tested have reacted and thus
shown the presence of the disease, the
average of one animal in ten tested has
tuberculosis, The buyer of untested
cattle of any grade, therefore, runs one
chance in ten, the authorities point out,
of getting infected cattle.
Causes Large Loss.
The loss to the farmers and breeders
of the state caused by tuberculosis each
year is serious. Although the state
pays two-thirds of the value of tuberc
ular cattle slaughtered by the State
Live Stock Sanitary Board, the nu-mi
nium indemnity is only $37. The breed
ers of high grade cattle that are very
much more valuable accordingly get a
much smaller proportion of the value of i
the animals slaughtered. The tests
have shown that the blooded stock is as
likely to be infected as graed cattle.
The loss of money, time and effort
caused by the purchase of tuberculous
animals, the spread of tuberculosis with
in the herds, and their consquent com j
pulsory slaughter, can not be estimated. |

PROGRESS AT INGRAM
The Village to Go Ahead Again This
Y ear.
v W. E. Powell, who was in the city
from Ingram the first of the week, says
that his town is going to push ahead
j more rapidly than ever this year.
He says that there will be more
building this year than last year and
that the structures will be of a super
| ior quality.
Heretofore there has been no land
man there, but that essential feature
is now covered and is expected that a
goodly number of new settlers will be
secured.
A businessmen’s league is anew
feature calculated to stimulate growth
both in the town and country.
The subject of incorporatisn as a vil
lage is a live one that is likely to be
come a reality.
The News Expresses the sentiment of
the people of Ladysmith is the wish
that all the towns in the county should
forge ahead -each one developing on
lines of natural advantage. There is
opportunity enough for all of us.

Chafing Dish Aprons.
Have you seen the dainty aprons for
chafing dish parties in the heart
shaped pattern? Cut a large heart of
flowered dimity or dotted swiss, roll
the edges and trim with a ruffle of
Valenciennes lace, leaving about ten
inches at the round part of the heart
untrimmed. This is slightly gathered,
and the strings are sewed to it, the
point of the heart forming the bot
tom of the apron. Cut a heart of
smaller size for the bib, which is also
rolled and trimmed with lace, and a
tiny heart for the pocket, which is
finished in the same way, but with a
rrarrhw lace' Tile
the strings with the point at the bot
tom, and the little pocket on the left
side of the large heart. The effect is
so pretty when finished that I am sure
it will please.

jcTencn-xmea Potatoes.
Peel nice potatoes, cut into length
wise strips, crosswise, or any way one
likes, throw into cold water as peeled,
and then dry them on a soft towel.
Have a vessel containing smoking (not
scorching) hot fat or lard, enough to
cover ((cr “swim”) the potatoes, and
as soon as they float on the surface
they are brown and done; skim iato
a draining basket, or on coarse paper,
and keep hot until served. There
should be no grease on them, and they
may be eaten with the fingers without
soiling, while perfectly mealy and
sweet inside. The potatoes must be
raw, and are much nicer than “cold
foiled” fried potatoes, and not half
the trouble to prepare or eat
