So far the license question
has been the main topic Of dis
cussion and that there is great
deal of interest centered on this
important question is now ap.
parent. There is every pro
liability that the city will go in
to the "dry" column at the
spring election and those who
are pushing the campaign on
the dry side are confident of VIC
tory.
There is indications that there
will be- a strcng bugch Of candi-
dates for the offies OF mayor and
aldermen in the field for the
consideration Of the voters but
as yet announcement of the
candidates has not been made.
Voters of the city are waking

efficient and they are taking
more interest in the election
than they have for years.

w. E. L.& P. CO. to Furnish
$50 Horse Power
Change in Power System
Means Much for the Dock
in This City.

Arrangements have practically
been completed between the
Washburn Electric Light and
Power Company of this city and
the Northwestern Fuel Company
for the furnishing of 450 HI. 2.
of electrical current by the light
company to the fuel company
for operating the machinery at
the coal docks in this city.
tits understood that practical,
ly all OF the details of the con-
tract have been agreed upon and
that only the signing of the con
tract remains to complete the
deal. It is also understood that
the Fuel company have already
ordered two 200 III. 2. motors, one
100 FL. P. motor and two motors
of smaller type. AS soon as
the material arrives and has
been placed in shape on the
docks in this city the juice will
be trrned on.
With the present steam plant
in use on the docks about three
hundred HI. P. is developed but
with the electric motors in ex-
cess of FIVE hundred Fl. P. can
be developed which will mean
that the docks will have a great
er capacity for coal can be
handled more rapidly. 1t also
means that the docks in this
city became of permanent
nature and with the new power
furnished the company may, at
some future time, decide to in
crease the capacity of the docks
here. The Northwestern Fuel
Company also have two elec-
Itrically equipped docks at the
head of the lakes and they are
looked upon as being one of the
best companies operating in the
coal business. We congratulate
them upon their enterprise.

Above Date Set Aside for
Concerted Action
All Urged to Attend Some
House of Worship on
. February 22nd.

All of the churches of Washburn
OF every denomination, Catholic and
Protestant alike, have joined in the
movement that is now sweeping the
country and have decided to set aside
a Go-to- Church Sunday" and it has
been agreed upon that February
22nd, which is Washington's BIRTH
day, is an appropriate day for the
occasion. Churches at Superior and
Duluth and at many cities in North
ern Wisconsin and Northern Mime
sote have set aside this same day SO
that it will be known over this north
region as church going day.
At the services next Sunday morn
ing and evening announcements will
be made by the pastors of every
church in the city and the slogan will
be: Go to church anywhere but
go to church, The movement is
absolutely non-sectarian, and the
appeal is made to all good citizens of
all faiths or of no faith at all, to
spend at least part of one Sunday
in church. The churches will well
come all strangers and those who
have not been in the habit of going
to church and every effort will be
made to make everyone feel at home.
Every church member in the city
is expected to invite one or more of
their friends who are not in the habit
of attending church regularly to at
tend church somewhere on this day,
1t makes nc difference what church
you. goEto, but go to some church on
that day. "A
Some of the pastors of the church.
es are planning on appointing COM
mittee of men to get the men about
town to attend church, and a COM
mittee of women to get the women
who are not in the habit of attending
church to attend on that day. The
committees will also take an active
part in getting the younger people
to take chance and attend some
church.
1t is expected that concerted action
on the part Of everyone in this great
movement will result in The churches
of the city and likewise throughout
the country being filled to overflow
ing on Sunday, February 22nd, and
that the experiment will result in a
permanent increase in attendance.

A Premium on Sobriety

The managers of a manufacturing
plant in Chester, Pa, have put in
force an idea which is decided con-
tribution to the present-day move
ment for economic efficiency. They
have offered 10 per cent advance
in wages to all their employees who
will sign the pledge to abstain from
intoxicating drinks. There is no
compulsion, no interference with
the priced liberty" of the individu
al, but two sided agreement g
tween free agents, The employer and
the employe, 4 1botgot whom benefit
by the contract.
Whel her the Chester experiment
will be copied in other places is
conjectural, but the willingness OF
most of the employees of the origiu al
factory to agree to the conditions
argues we'll for its success. In
viden tally, the offer of the employers
reveals the high estimate they place
upon sobriety among their employees
while as for the latter, if they have
been drinking men. they will, under
the new arrangement. have not only
the money they formerly spent for
liquor, but the 10 per cent advance
in wages as well.

THE FIGHT AGAINST The
GREAT WHITE PLAGUE
Alvin G. Refs, Lecturer for
the Anti-Tuberculosis Assn.
and Extension Division.

! AlVIn y. helS, OellVer6u lecture
at the Congregational church in this
city on Monday, it being the 5th
number of the lecture course being
given under the auspices of the Men s
Club of the Congregational church.
The lecture, which was on "Public
Health, the Cause, the Cost and the
Cure, proved to be very interest
ing one and was handled in a master
ly manner by the young lecturer.
In the course Of his lecture Mr.. Refs
said:
Wisconsin is setting the pace
in the fight against the white plague,
tuberculosis. The death rate from
tuberculosis in Wisconsin is thirty
five per cent lower than it is in the
United States as a whole, which
means that we are saving ,321
human lives in the state of Wisconsin
every year.
Five years ago the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis Association was
founded. During those five years,
the death rate from tuberculosis in
Wisconsin has decreased six times as
fast as the total death rate. Today,
Wisconsin has the third lowest death
rate from the white plague of all the
forty-eight states of the Union.
During the past year, 872 lectures
were given under the auspices of the
State tuberculosis Association, reach
ing n, 900 people. Today, in Wis
consin, there are sixty-seven visiting
nurses and eleven county sanatoria
with total capacity of five hundred
patients; whereas five years ago,
there was not single visiting nurse
or sanitorium in the state of Wiscon-
sin. @a #
In the United States someone
dies of tuberculosis every three and
one-half minutes. Every three days
as many lives are lost from this dis
ease as went down with the sinking
of the steamship 'Titanic! This Isl a
needless loss of life, because tubercu-
losis can be prevented. e
tuberculosis is disease of living
and working conditions. The white
plague may attack all classes, but it
reaps it's greatest harvest in the
cellar homes, slums, tenements and
crowded districts. Closed windows
are open doors to consumption.
Working conditions often contri-
butte to undermine the strength of
the laborer and to lay him open to
the disease. In glass factories, potter
les, textile mills and grinding shops,
there is high mortality from tuber-
culosis because the workers constant
ly breathe into their lungs the fine,
rasping dust which cuts the tender
tissues where the germ testers and
breeds. Seventy-two per cent of
metal polishers and cutters are vic
tins of tuberculosis. The average
grinder of cut glass dies at the age of
thirty-two; the average metal grinder
at twenty-nine. e

Being Held at the State
Experimental Farm
Largo Numbers of Farmers
Attending Meetings Which
are Proving Beneficial.

The agricultural course for farmers
which is being given under the auspices
of the agricultural department of the
University of Wisconsin and which
is in charge of E. j. Delwichc and
E. L. Luther at the experimental
station at Ashland Junction this
week is being largely attended by
the farmers of Northern Wisconsin.
The school was begun on Tuesday
morning and will be continued DUR
ing the balance of the week. The
subjects taken up at this meeting are
such as will interest the farmers of
this north country region immensely
and a. the subjects are being handled
by men who are familiar with the
region in northern Wisconsin the
lectures are made all the more valu-
able. Those who have been attend
ing the meetings during the past two
days are highly pleased with the in-
formation and knowledge which they
have gained and the attendance dur
ing the balance of the week will un-
dOubtedly be large.
There is no charge whatever con-
nected with this course and therefore
every farmer should make It point
TO attend at least one day.
The subjects for the balance of the
week are all interesting.
