The Other Side Of It.

At times we hear merchants of
the city complaining because some
few people buy their goods out OF
town when they can be gotten as
cheap right here in the city. and we
have advised people that the only
way to build up the town invwhich
they live is TO patronize home trade.
This same rule also applies to the
merchant Our attention has been
called this week to the fact that a
few of the merchants are buying
their bread and pastries out of town
when really they could save money
by buying them at home and they
would get even better class oil
goods. Why not build up large
bakery establishment right here in
stead of building up trade for men in
other cities, Mr.. Larson of the new
bakery informs US that if he can get
the local business that it will enable
him to hire extra help which would
mean more people for the city. He
runs a first class establishment and
is entitled TO the merchants trade.

recommendations from the con-
gressmen, although the law
does not say SO.
| Supervisors districts are to
conform with the congress
ional districts, in SO far as
possible. There will be
eleven supervisors for Wis
consin, one for each congress
ion al district. The district
allotted to each supervisor

one or more subdivisions, ac-
Icording to size of sub divis-
ions. The supervisor is Ito

not less than twenty or more
than thirty cents for each
establishment or productive
industry reported.
Under no circumstances is
the pay of an enumeration to
exceed $6 a day for 8 hours.
A fine of 500 for the re-
fusal of any person over Fl
years of age, to answer any
question submitted by a gov
eminent enumeration can be
imposed. The same fine can

Entered at the pOSt-office at Washburn
Wisconsin. as second-class mail matter.

The CITY fathers are to be
commended for thepush and en-
terprise in serving notice on re-
sidents and publishing notices
to non-residentsabout the cement
walks that are demanded. That
the city will build the walks and
charge it to aoutting property
owners. This is one way of re-
placing the walks, of adding to
the appearance of the city, of
making permanent improve
ments. But the most of all it
protects life and limb. The pro-
lection of life and limb is perhaps
the most important considera-
ton. The members of the city
Council care nothing about the
appearance of individual pieces
of property, except as they re-
late to the public, and are not a
menace to the public, they care
nothing about permanent i'm
provements made by individuals
except as they relate to the
public as a whole With the
thought then of doing all that
is possible for the entire com
munity, would it not be wise to
help protect life and limb by hav-
ing the streets lighted during
the dark fall months at least.
We hire policemen to protect our
property, we hire health officer
to look after the sanitation of the
city, we pay salaries to city Of
fcers for keeping the records
and accounts of the city in or
der, we repair streets to facili-
tate traffic. But we pay abso-
lutely no attention to the impor-
tant question of protecting our
selves against accident. Did
any of those who read this ever
try to follow the sidewalk on the
back streets ON a dark night?
Have you ever been compelled to
( strike matches every few feet to
find the walk, and keep you from
: stepping into a hole caused by
broken and decayed boards?
If you have not you are really
fortunate, but let us assure you
that you may have to try that
very trick some of these nights.
The walks are naturally worse
than they were last year because
they are year older. The
nights will soon be dark and
cloudy, and the very least that
the city could do for us is TIC give
US some light during the next
two or three months. We are
not begging for ourselves, but
we believe that the people are
justly entitled to some consider
alton in the matter.
AMONG the evidences of re-
newed confidence in. the growth
and stability of the city is the
unlimited amount of improve.
.ment that is beng made all over
the city. Resident properties
are being improved repaired and
painted. business houses are be-
ing put in shape and sidewalks
are being built on every hand.
One can scarcely look down a
single street or avenue these
days and not see workmen, car
penters, stone masons, sewer
diggers, and cement workers
busily at work. To the stranger
this means that there is every
confidence in the city, and to the
resident it shows a commendable
spirit that is easily contagious.
Property owners often remark
that they will fix up their pro-
perty if their neighbor will do
the same. The present season is
remarkable for this reason.
