Amounts Expended by Can
didateS Not Heavy
Includes All That Has Been
Expended up to Last
Saturday.

Nearly all of the candidates for
county office have filed their ex-
pense accounts with County
Clerk Nels M. Oscar. In looking
over the lists it will be seen that
the candidates, so far, have not
been eXtravagant in the use of
moneys for campaign purposes.
The following is the amounts
expended by each candidate as
shown by the statement now on
file: Harvey Irish $35.25, Alfred
Froseth $3.50, Nels M. Oscar
$500, A. M. Warden $17.81,
Nels Myhre $3.50, F. A. Bell
$500, A. P. Stone 1882, L. N.
Clausen $500, Charles F. Morris
$6.70, r. A. Herring $5.88, John
Mcdonald $3.50.
Under the ruling of the Attor-
ney General and District Attorney
Charles F. Morris candidates
who have failed to-file their ex-
pense statements as required by
law will be barred from having
their names go on the general
election ballot regardless of
whether they may win out at the
primaries. 1t is understood that
several candidates have failed to
co}hply with the law in this re-
spect. Some candidates have
failed to file any expense account
whatever.

Road Levy of $4,000 has
Been Exhausted
Unless More Money is Made
Available no More Work
Will be Done.

All road work on the county
system of highways in Bayfield,
county outside of the work which
has already been contracted for
has been halted during the past
week. The reason given is that
the levy of one and a half mills
amounting to $4,000 has been
exhausted and unless more money
is made available by the county
board no more work will be done
during the balance of the year.
Work on the long bridge route
at the head of the bay has also
been temporarily stopped for the
present. Eben Olson, who has
the contract for the filling of the
approaches, has come to the con-
clusion that the method used in
the past for making the fills has
been altogether too slow and he
now announces that he will use a
dredge to complete his contract.
Since Mr.. Olson took the contract
he has had considerable difficulty
in maintaining the fill. On sew
eral occasions the elements have
washed out of his fill and this
work has had to be done over
again. The original contract
called for the completion of the
work during June but the time
has been extended from time to
time To many it now begins to
look as if the work would not be
completed very soon.
To leave this work over winter
will mean that it will have to be
done over again for the ice in
the spring will wash out all that
has been done unless it is pro-
tected.

Officers Preparing for Biggest
Fair Ever
Many Towns in the County
Offering Special Prizes
for Various Items.

The officers and directors of
the Bayfield, County Fair Associ-
alton are now actively engaged
in getting ready for the annual
county fair to be held at the Iron
River fair grounds on September
18th, 10Th and 18th. The indica-
tions are that the fair this year
will be bigger and better than
ever. In addition to the usual
large premium list many of the
towns in Bayfield, county are
offering special prizes this year
for farm stock and products.
Among the towns offering special
prizes are Barnes, Drummond,
Mason, Port Wing, Hughes and
Iron River.
The premium list of the associ-
alton has been issued and may
be had by addressing the
Secretary E. F. Daniels, Iron
River, Wis. The race part of the
program has not as yet been
issued but will be arranged plen-
ty of time in advance of the fair
to be widely advertised.
Many Of the towns of the coun-
ty will compete for the special
sweepstake prize this year for
the best display Of farm products
from any one town. 1t is thought
likely that this city will compete
for this prize.

can nomination for District
Attorney of Bayfield, county, was
in the city the first of the week
interviewing the voters. Mr..
Morris is to be opposed for the
nomination by Municipal Judge
A. M. Warden of this city.
Although credited with being a
Democrat Mr.. Warden is seek

Hits the Low Mark

Gasoline dropped another
half cent in price on Monday OF
this week, this being the lowest
price it has been sold at in years,
Gasoline on Monday was quoted
at twelve cents fat. The reason
for the drop in price at this
time is brought about by the
war. Little gasoline is being
shipped abroad.
The prices of food stuffs on
the other hand continue to raise.
This is especially true of the
staple articles such as sugar,
-four and meats.

Cattle Show

The Third Annual Guernsey
Cattle Show will be held at
Moquah on Saturday August Is
by the Moquah COOPERATIVE
Society. This annual event has
grown to be of such Importance
that il has received extended
notice in the various Live stock
and farm magazines throughout
the United States. It is pro-
noted by the society for the
purpose of visualizing the advan-
tages of the use Of pure bred
sires and community breeding.
At the show last year, Prof
George G. Humphrey stated
that the dairy cattle Of the
Moquah community were far
above the average of the Wis
consin farm herds. The Moquah
Community is now six years
old. The settlers are Slovaks
from Southeastern Europe and
to make the event picturesque,
dress in their national costumes
on the com munity holiday. AS
dairymen they have made rapid
progress. They have some of
the finest grade Guernsey cattle
in the northern part of the
state and are now beginning to
purchase pure breds for found
alton stock. Many prominent
men will attend the affair this
year, among them, F.. HI. Scrib-
ner of the Dairy Division Bureau
of Animal Industry, United
States Department of Agricul-
ture, Andrew w. Hopkins, Sec
retary Wisconsin Live Stock
Breeders Association, e. j.
Delwiche, Superintendent Wis

Hunting Licenses Here

The supply of hunting licenses
for Bayfield, county have been
received at the court court
house and already a number
have been issued. The first
license this year was issued to
George L. Dyer of Mason. No
Washourn people as yet have
secured hunting permits. From
this time on the ''mail order"
rush at the county clerks Office
will be on. Every days mail will
bring in many applications and
the mum Der will be increased as
the hunting season draws near.
Septem Der 9TH is the first
open date for any kind Of game
in Bayfield, county. That day
throws off the restrictions on
prairie chicken, prairie hen or
grouse, limit 5 to each hunter

Is each, geese 10 each, wood
cock 5 each. October 1st is. the
opening of the partridge season.

Plan a Fine Exhibit

The special committee of the
County Board who will have charge
OF arranging for the county exhibit
at the State Fair to be held at Mil
waukee next month have been busy
during the past week sending out
letters to farmers and fruit growers
in order to get line on what can be
exhibited. This committee is made
up as follows: George Mertz, Wash
burn; O. Flanders, Bayfield,; c. W..
Smith, Russell; George Barnes,
Barnes; Erick Johnson, Port Wing.
Previous to the fair dates a COM
mittee will be sent out through the
county to gather in the exhibits and
to see that they are shipped to Mil
waukee where they will be displayed. !.
Last year Bayfield, county made a
fine showing at the state fair and the
plan is to make a much better show
ing this season. This can be accom-
plished for the reason that the fair
dates have been set later and this
works favorably for the northern
counties of Wisconsin. Northern
Wisconsin intends making good
showing at the fair this year and the
people attending will have their eyes
opened when they see what can be
raised in this section.

Making Hard Campaign

Madison, Aug. Reports from
Andrew FL. DAHL progressive
republican candidate for govern
or, indicate that he is making
hay through the southern and
western parts Of the state.
Mr.. Dahl in his little Ford car
last week campaigned through
Dane, Lafayette, Green, Iowa
Grant, Richland, Crawford, and
Vernon counties, and he is
campaigning this week in La
Crosse, Trempealeau. Buffalo,
Eau Claire, Dunn, st. Croix, and
Chippewa counties. Ex-Speaker
Charles A. Ingram announced
an itinerary that made old cam.
paigners gasp, but Mr.. Dahl has
not only kept up with the sched-
ule. but has made other towns
as well, and has talked to an
average of more than thous-
and voters a day. AS a whirl-
wind campaigner, Andrew H.
Dahl has left the other candid
ates far in the rear.
"Incidentally the distinction
between Mr.. Dahl and Mr..
Philipp," says Grant Brightman
in the State Journal, lis we'll
shown in the sort of vehicles in
which they are making their
campaigns. Mr.. Philip owns
a great Pierce-Arrow touring
limousine, with a tonneau which
holds seven people, equipped
with fine upholstery and all the
other adjuncts of plutocracy,
and driven by his own chaffeur.
Mr.. Dahl is the agent of the
Ford car at WestbS, and his
dusty little machine is driven by
boy from his store. The peo-
ple seem to like the Ford better
than they do the big machine OF
the stalwart candidate"
Mr.. Dahl made his trip
through Green county few days
after Mr.. Philipp had toured
the county. After Mr.. Dahl's
meeting at Monroe a farmer re-
marked to him, 81 believe a man
who rides in a Ford will be
more economical in the govern
or's Office than a man who rides
in a Pierce Arrow.
That the progressive republi-
can campaign for governor is
centered about the Dahl head
quarters is made clear by the
fact that all of the candidates
for the republican nomination
except Mr.. Philip have called
there during the past two weeks
Mr.. Dahl is accompanied on
his campaigning tour by Edward
IF. Dithmar, progressive re

Streets Being Sprinkled

By an arrangement made with
William Olson during the past
week the streets of the city are
being sprinkled daily. The
sprinkling is being done under
the terms of an ordinance passed
last year by the council in which
the abutting property pays the
charges.
Since spring the city streets
have not been sprlnkled and the
merchants along the street have
had a good deal of difficulty in
keeping their places of business
clean. The new order will be
welcomed by them.

ORGANIZATIONS OF WORKERS

1t is impossible to establish =

labor power is part of the living
workers and his material existence
only in the products resulting from
the application of that labor JUS
tice to the workers requires that
the inherent differences between
these two kinds of organizations be
recognized in legislative classified

The principle underlying Section
7 of the Clayton antitrust bill rec
ognizes this distinction. 1t dis
eliminates between the miner and
the coal that he mines, the engin-
eer and the throttle that he pulls,
the factory employe and the ma
chine that he operates, the baker
and the bread he bakes.
But should the baker and the
candle maker engage in the pro-
duction of loaves of bread and can
dies and try to manipulate the
prices of these products to secure
unreasonable profits then their ac-
tivities would come under the pro-
visions of the Sherman antitrust
law. However, SO long as they

The Cost of War.
E. Etzler, Secretary

Philadelphia, Aug. 15.-The in
fuential Public Ledger makes this
editorial comment on the Cost of
War"
No man can calculate what the
cost of general European war
would be. To this day the French
physique is a lamentrble memorial
of the Napoleonic wars, Wars
leave weaklings at home, and
through them the race is pelpetua-
ted. Wars breed poverty, waste
capital, induce stagnation of indus
trial enterprise, cause suffering that
lasts for generations. A nation
makes more progress in one year of
peace than in twenty of war.
