Miss Blanch Lampreaux and
Mr.. Albert Garbergy both OF
this city, were married at Dull
nth last Friday evening at eight
o'clock.
Very few people, other than
the relatives of the contracting
parties, were aware that the
wedding was to take place, so
quietly were the arrangements
made and therefore the news of
their marriage will come as q
surprise to their many Wash
burn friends.
From Duluth Mr.. and Mrs.
Garberg left on a wedding trip
to ST. Paul, Minneapolis
Eau Claire and Rice Lake.
They are expected to return to
this city the latter part of this
week and will 60 to hOusekeep-
ing here.
Both of the young people are
well known throughout the city
where they have a large circle
of friends. For several years
both have been employed at the
dynamite works of the E. 1. Du-
Pont company. Upon their re-
turn to the city their many
friends will join in extending
congratulations.

Democrats, Socialists and
Prohibitionists Poll Less
Votes this Year.

One of the things shown by
the official returns for Bayfield,
county which have just been
compiled by the County Board of
Canvassers is that the Republi-
can party is the only one to hold
it's own in the election this year.
The vote in Bayfield, County
was unusually light and there
fore all parties show a less vote
than two years ago.
In 1912 the Republican candi-
date for Governor polled 1899
votes while this year the COM
bined Republican and Independ-
ent candidates polled 1929 votes.
In 1912 the Democratic candidate
polled $50 votes while in 1914 he
polled 325 votes. The Socialist
vote dropped down almost half.
In 1912 the Socialist candidate
polled 275 votes and this year
165. The Prohibition candidate
polled 70 votes in 1912 and 60 in
1914.
The Wilson vote in Bayfield,
county in 1912 was 666 while the
Republican vote was 515 and the

FIRES OPENING GUN
OF XMAS CAMPAIGN
Wisconsin Association shown
recognition by Minnesota
Officers.

Milwaukee, Nov. 9th (Special)
| A call for 1900 local campaign
managers to take charge of the
sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals
has been issued by Otto F. Brad
ley, Campaign Manager of the
Wisconsin nti-Tuberculosis As
Isolation. This constitutes the
opening gun of the 1914 Seal
Campaign by which the Associ-
alton will raise funds for con-
itinuing the work which is now
saving so many lives in Wiscon-
sin from consumption and other
preventable diseases.
Splendid recognition was given
the Wisconsin Campaign by the
Minnesota State Society in seek
ing to get the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association to take
over the complete management
| of the Minnesota SALE. "The
Proposition came too late for us
to take over the entire campaign"
said Mr.. Bradley. "We are CIV
ing them advisory assistance
however. / have just returned
from two days in st. Paul con-
sulting with the Minnesota Off
GERS and a campaign for them to
carry out, and arrangements will
probably be made for me to take
charge of both states next year
for the association"
Nearly as many seals were
sold in Milwaukee as in the
entire state of Minnesota last
year. Rural schools in Wiscon-
sin made a higher sale on the
average than villages of 500
population in Minnesota.
Thanksgiving Day has been
set for the opening of the sale
and it will close at Christmas.
The sale will be pushed upon a
purely business basis. 1t is
urged that buying Christmas
Seals is the cheapest and best
form of life insurance. 1t fur
nishes protection against sickness
rather than indemnity after death.
1t can be shown that unquestion-
ably many lives have already
been saved through the work
supported by Christmas seals.
Those who are willing to help
in the campaign to wipe con-
sumption and other preventable
diseases out of Wisconsin are
urged to write the Wisconsin
nti-Tuberculosis Association at
Milwaukee.

stand pruning, but it is fatal to young
ones. A liberal dressing of stable
manure before blowing is recommend
ed Fall blowing is best Fertilizer
is necessary whether other crops are
grown or not. There is such thing as
starving trees
In many cases it will be found that
the old trees have exhausted practical
ly all the available nutritive material
contained in the soil, and they need
considerable nitrogen in order to pro-
duce new wood and to put new vigor
into them, and therefore they will
stand lots of stable manure. But If
they were young, bearing trees in their
prime they would need only a light
dressing Of manure.
While the actual fertilizing material
contained in a ton of average stable
manure is small, not much above TWEEN
ty-eight pounds, if lime is not cOnsid-
cred. it is a great humus producer.
Humus adds lots of moisture, and hui
mus and moisture working together
release the nutritive material already
in the soil and put it in shape so that
those little hungry feed roots can gath
er it in and send 1t on its mission OF
supplying leaf. bud and branch with
life and vigor.
If one should want quicker and bet
ter results than just stable manure
alone, phosphate rock, ground bone
and potash may be added in the pro-
portion of 100 pounds Of phosphate,
200 pounds of ground bone and 100
pounds of potash, but the user will
have to be his own judge. Of just how
much to apply to the acre, as there
are so many different conditions to be
taken into consideration that the same

kept out of an orchard as zealously as

1t is also important that we practice
a good system Of shallow cultivation
in young orchards. The trees respond
to good tillage just as the corn and
other cultivated crops. Barnyard ma

thirty feet apart.
Good drainage is important in the

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
Statement from the Secretary
of Agriculture in regard to
the Federal Measures.

Secretary of Agriculture has issued
the following statement regarding
the quarantine for foot-and-mouth
disease:
The present outbreak of the foot
and-mouth disease, which is one of
the most contagious and destructive
diseases of cattle, swine and sheep,
exceeds in area affected any of the
five previous outbreaks in this coun-
try. Unless the infection can be
Immediately localized and quickly
eradicted, it threatens untold losses
among live stock.
So contagious is the disease that
in past outbreaks where but one
animal in herd was infected, the
entire herd in almost all cases later
contracted the sickness. While the
mortality is not high the effects of the
disease even on animals that recover
are such as to make them practically
useless. They loose flesh rapidly;
in the case of cows, the milk dries
up or is made dangerous for human
consumption; in the case Of breeding
animals, the animal once infected
becomes valueless for breeding, as it
may continue to be constant carrier
of contagion.
1t is possible to cure the external
symptoms, but during the process of
attempting to cure one sick animal
the chances are that hundreds of
others may be infected. The treat.
ment or killing of single animal in
herd was tried in an outbreak and
did not prove effective, for the reason
that the remainder of the herd soon
became affected and had to be killed.
AS result of the five outbreaks
in this country, and other disastrous
epidemics of the disease in Europe
and Great Britain, veterinary authori-
ties of the United States are agreed
that the only method of combating
the disease is to stop all movem ent
of stock and material which have been
subjected to any danger of infection
and to kill off without delay all herds
in which the disease has gained any
foothold. This enables the authori-
ties to eradicate affected herds and
to isolate and hold under observation
all suspected herds.
For these reasons, the Department
of Agriculture has already quaran-
tined ten States for the foot-and
mouth disease. The Federal quaran-
tine prevents all interstate movement
of stock and materials likely to
carry the Infection. At the same
time, the State authorities are i'm
posing local guarantees which pre-
vent the passage of animals from
farms or localities known to be in
fected to other localities in the same
State in which the disease has not
appeared. Each infected herd, as
rapidly as the disease is discovered,
is killed and the dead animals buried
in covering of lime. The skins of
the animals are slashed SO as to per-
NIT the rapid action of the lime.
The owner of the slaughter ed
animals is reimbursed on basis of the
appraised value of the herd, the
appraiser being appointed by the
State. The expense of the whole
process of condemnation and disinfec-
ton is divided equally between the
Federal and State Governments.
