CATION EXCHANGE
 ELECTS DIRECTORS
May Build Gin in District; Location
 for Property Desired

With the largest gathering of the year the Tempe Cotton Exchange met yesterday afternoon in the city hall and engaged in a lengthy and interesting discussion of the affairs of the association.
 It being an annual meeting, the election of officers was i'll order The directors chosen for the coming year were C. c. Jones, John Birchett. C. H. Warehouse. C. l.. ColdWen ana A. Celtien. These men were sworn into office and immediately assumed their new duties.
 A second purpose of the meeting was to discuss further the building of gin in Tempe. The question was definitely arranged and Tempe will not only have gin but also 1 first class compress to handle the yield of the coming season. The new board of directors were author | iZed and instructed to purchase site for the new buildings, the same i to include ten lots in West Tempe. These lots lie just west of the old M E. Church South building and f include the site of the Peters Hay warehouse which was burned last | fall. The location of this property 1 is ideal for the new gin and com press site owing to the railroad Ia 1 clities as well as the convenience to | farmers
 l The directors were also instructed to receive all bids on construction | stalled in the gin and compress. 1 After receiving these bids the same will be referred to meeting of the
 stockholders called for that purpose. 1 The matter of affiliating the local
 organization with the county asso- | clation known as the Central Cotton Growers association was taken up and by unanimous decision the local men remain member of that body. | Several government men, among l them Walter SWingle. prominent l plant breeder of the United States,
 were present and addressed the body. 1 Swingle gave q splendid talk on cot | ton growing and one that was full of good sound advice to local farm l CTS. The government has advanced  the theory that seed cotton should
 be chosen in the valley and that by attending to and testing 100 hundred
 acres of cotton the proper returns
 would be received. This they pro- pose to test and oversee in the in-
 terest of the industry. The local
 organizatio jumped at such an offer and voted the following resolution
 As the government has agreed to inspect at least one hundred acres oi cotton for seed selection during the season of 1914.
 Be it resolved that the Tempo Cotton Exchange agrees to continue this method of seed selection so long as it shall continue to grow Egyp-
 tian cotton This seed shall be fur
 nished to all members of the ex-
 change at the same price seed is selling to the oil mills.
 The cost of this seed selection tc
 be borne by the Tempe Cotton EX-
 change"
 So much interest has been aroused
 in the local organization. the Temp,
 Cotton Exchange, that there is al increased demand for stock. Yester- day several hundred shares were is-
 sued and the association continues tt grow.

$,667.91 for the care Of patients
in state institutions, making a
total state tax of $54, ,687 .89.
While the state tax has been
materially decreased this year
yet the cost of the care of Bay
field county's patients in state
institutions is nearly $500 more
than it was a year ago.
The total tax levy for the state
for 1914 amounts to $5,272, 1863,
which is $2,382,925 less than it
was year ago. 1t will be re-
called that last year it was
found necessary to lexy a special
state tax of $1,500,000 for
general purposes. Not only is it
unnecessary to repeat this tax
for the current year, but it is
possible to eliminate entirely the
$3.50, 900 tax for the new state
capitol and 100000 of the
authorized $1,200,000 for high
ways.

result all Of the republican
officers of state and county will
serve the people for another two
years. Phillip outdistanced: his
opponents for the office; of
Governor. Blaine, the Progress
i've candidate who was running
independent, made very poor
showing in the state. The
balance of the Republican state
ticket had little difficulty in win
ming. McGovern was given the
closest fight of any candidate.
Husting, the Democratic candi-
date running him close in the
early returns butit is safe to say
that he has been elected U. S.
Senator by safe margain.
In Bayfield, county the fight
centered over the office of Dis
trict attorney. Charles F. Morris
Independent candidate, gave A.
M. Warden republican, a merry
chase for the office but the final
returns give Warden a majority
of fifty. All of the other re-
publican county candidates were
elected by big margains.

C. E. CONVENTION
A GRAND SUCCESS
Upwards of Fifty Delegates
Attend Meeting Here
District Comprises Northern
Wisconsin. Many Places
Represented.

The district union convention
of Christian Endeavor societies
which was held in this city last
Friday evening, Saturday and
Sunday, was largely attended by
delegates from all parts of
Northern Wisconsin, there being
upwards of fifty delegates regis
tered and quite a delegation
came up from Mellen on Sunday
to swell the number. Eight
cities and towns of Northern
Wisconsin were represented by a
number of delegates.
The meetings were held in the
Congregational church in this
city and the Protestant church
people of the city joined with
the delegates in making the
meeting a success. The original
program as planned was carried
out almost to the letter.
The meetings opened Friday
evening with a stirring song
service and addresses by Rev.
Smith of this city and Field
Secretary E. T. Farrill of Mil
waukee. On Saturday morning
there were conferences and the
business meeting of the associ-
alton was held. Saturday after
noon was devoted to stunts and
a hike was planned by the local
society.
On Saturday evening a banquet
for delegates, visiting pastors
and the local press was held at
the church parlors, the refresh
ments being served by the ladies
of the church. After a boun-
teous supper the delegates
listened to remarks by E. T.
Farrill, Rev. Christensen, Rev.
Roads, Rev. Smith and others.
Services were held again Sat-
urday evening and Sunday was
devoted to rallies of the Sunday
school Junior Endeavor, Christian
Endeavor and in the evening the
sermon was by E. T. Farrill.
The convention closed Sunday
evening and all delegates at
tending pronounce it one of the
most profitable religious gather
ings they had ever attended.
While in the city the delegates
were entertained at the home of
church people, all denominations
opening their homes to the dele
gates.

Annual Meeting Postponed
Until That Date
Much Business Will be Taken
up, Including Equalization
and Levies.

The annual meeting of the
county board of Bayfield, county
will not be held until Tuesday,
November oath. By law the
date of the annual meeting is
fixed as the second Tuesday in
November but this date can be
changed upon request of a ma
jority of the members of the
board and such a written request
has been received by County
Clerk Nels M. Oscar. The meet
ing will now be held on the Oath.
A large amount of business
will be taken up by the board at
their annual session. The equal
ization has to be made at this
meeting as we'll as the levies for
the ensuing year. There is al
ways a big scrap over the equal
ization but it is likely that the
board will adopt the figures of
Income Assessor Landraint this
year for in the two previous
years where they have failed to
take his figures for the basis of
the equalization an appeal has
been taken to the Wisconsin Tax
Commission with the result that
his figures have been sustained.

Hundreds Going into Woods
During Hunting Season
Season for Deer Opens Next
Wednesday morning. Many
Leaving for Camps.

The open season for deer begins
on Wednesday morning of next
week and already numbers are
leaving for the woods to get
their camps in readiness for the
opening of the season.
1t is expected that more hun
ters will be in the woods this
season than ever before. To
date nearly $500 licenses have
been issued by County Clerk
Nels M. Oscar and the rush is
continuing every day. The big
record made last season will be
exceeded this year.
Deer are said to be quite
plentiful in the Bayfield, county
woods this season but not as
plentiful as they were a year
ago. Hunters who have been
out in the woods of late report
signs good and it is expected
that the annual slaughter this
year will be heavy.
Hunters going into the woods
should use the greatest pre-
cautions to avoid accidents.
Bright colored clothing should
be worn to prevent being taken
for deer or other wild animal
while in the woods. Care should
also be used in handling fire arms
about the camp. By being care
full many accidents can be avoid
ed and the toll of human life can
be decreased this season. Near
ly every year numbers of hunters
loose their lives through careless
ness and those going into the
woods should do their utmost
to prevent this wasteless loss
Of life.
